Great things can be achieved even with very low bandwidth. Stephen Hawking has been able to break new ground in theoretical physics just by twitching his hand and cheek. Jean-Dominique Bauby was able to write a bestselling memoir by blinking one eyelid. By reading and decoding “brain-waves”, the field of brain-computer interfacing (BCI) is poised to open up the possibility of such expression, e...

The STANNs (Spatio-Temporal Artificial Neural Networks) are spiking neural networks. Coming from a bio-inspired data coding, they are adapted to process spatio-temporal patterns. Their capabilities have been studied for several years in the field of the natural HCIs (Human-Computer Interactions): handwritten character recognition, lipreading and speech recognition. Whereas one can observes a re...

In today’s businesses, configurators are essential tools that allow customers to personalise a product to their specific needs. Being often the first contact between the retailer and the customer, it is important for a configurator to provide a smooth user experience. However, these software have been studied mostly from the reasoning point of view, that is, how to represent the logical relatio...

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). EICS’16, June 21-24, 2016, Bruxelles, Belgium. Abstract A web configurator is an application that allows its users to tailor a customizable product to their own needs by specifying their requirements through a graphical user interface. Configurators have been successfully applied to tangible products (e.g., cars, mobile phones) as well as intangible pro...

Large screen display systems are common display systems. Especially projector-based PC cluster large screen display systems share most of large screen display system market and they are main research topics today. A lot of researchers research on cluster algorithms, computation power improvements, high performance graphic rendering technologies, high speed buses, networks, and HCIs. Remarkable ...
