the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). I think that everyone who serves begins with great trepidation but leaves with a sense of satisfaction. I certainly did. One of the sources of satisfaction was the opportunity to give the presidential address at AAAI-07 in Vancouver, my hometown. This article is based on that talk. That opportunity allowed me to step back and think of the big p...

The role of the user interface(mode of interaction) can have an impact on both performance and satisfaction with regards to using a programming language--a well-designed user interface can improve performance and satisfaction, The impact of interaction mode, in this case commandbased coding, versus using a form-fill-in wizard, is examined, with respect to performance and satisfaction while perf...

This paper presents a learning satisfaction model that examines the determinant factors for student learning satisfaction in a blended e-learning environment. Conformation factor analysis was performed to test the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The partial least squares method was used to evaluate the causal model. The results indicated that the learning climate, perceived v...

Compilations of domain-domain interactions based on solved structures suggest there are distinct domain pairs that are used repeatedly in different protein contexts to mediate protein-protein interactions. However, not all protein pairs with the corresponding domains that can potentially mediate interaction do interact, even when they are colocalized and coexpressed. It is conceivable that ther...

the aim of this study was to compare the satisfaction from body areas and social - physique anxiety in islamic azad university students. for this purpose, 424 athlete and non-athlete undergraduate students completed body areas satisfaction scale (bass) and seven-item social - physique anxiety scale (7-spas). results of multivariate analysis of covariance (mancova) showed that while sport (indiv...

introductionhistoric cities and neighbourhoods in iran couldn’t adjust themselves to quick changes of the recent decades andhave lost their quality in many aspects. regardless of different cultural, economic and social conditions, newneighbourhoods have been formed next to old areas of the cities. although these new areas welcom ed newfunctions, they couldn’t provide suitable environments for t...

conclusions the results of the present study revealed that patients are not highly satisfied with the communication skills of physicians and they were least satisfied only with the quality of examination processes by the physicians. in addition, patients with lower education showed lower satisfaction as well. thus, a higher quality and elaboration of examination, more patience and better commun...

Understanding learner satisfaction and its factors is very important for E-learning quality development. In this study, we describe an E-learning satisfaction assessment model based on the negative critical incidents perspective and examine if critical incidents affect E-learning satisfaction. The model is tested using an empirical study of 230 online learners at NSYSU Cyber-University. The res...

The purpose of this paper was to examine the implications of employing multimodal interaction metaphors in Electronic Customer Knowledge Management Systems (E-CKMS). There are several challenges to E-CKMS, such as trust and knowledge retention, structured transfer of knowledge and information overload. As empirical investigations that examine the impact of multimodal interaction on customer sat...
