Abstract Interactive exploration of Earth system simulations may have great potential to improve the scientific modeling process. It will allow monitoring state simulation via dashboards presenting real-time diagnostics within a digital twin world. We present art for in this context. Cross-domain data handling and fusion make it possible integrate model observation context twins ocean. Domain-d...

Activity theory is based on the concept of tools mediating between subjects and objects. In this theory, an individual’s creative interaction with his or her surroundings can result in the production of tools. When an individual’s mental processes are exteriorized in the form of tools – termed objectification – they become more accessible to other people and are therefore useful for social inte...

ITS is a second-generation machine translation system. Processing is divided into three major steps: analysis, transfer, and synthesis. Analysis is generally independent of the target language, and synthesis is nearly independent of the source language. The transfer step is dependent on both source and target languages. The intermediate representation produced by analysis, adjusted by transfer,...

1. Overview The effectiveness of an interactive system can be defined as the degree to which users can access and use the functionality of a system in meeting their task objectives (Nielsen, 1993). Such assessment is generally based on a multitude of measures. These measures involve determining if users can perform tasks supported by a system: (1) efficiently (i.e., the quantity of performance ...

BioSonics is an interactive art installation that explores the transformation of human interaction into spatial and temporal patterns by a dynamical and self-organized system. It both looks at aesthetic qualities of pattern formation processes and explores means of intuitive interaction with complex systems. In BioSonics, users interact with the growth processes of an organism. These processes ...

Enabling users of intelligent systems to enhance the system performance by providing feedback on their errors is an important need. However, the ability of systems to learn from user feedback is difficult to evaluate in an objective and comparative way. Indeed, the involvement of real users in the adaptation process is an impediment to objective evaluation. This issue can be solved by using an ...

In this paper we present a system, called U-interactive, that provides spontaneous interactions between human and surrounding objects in heterogenous ubiquitous computing environments. Our U-interactive system introduces a virtual map, which contains interactive objects around a user in each ubiquitous environment. In the virtual map, each interactive object is tagged with geographic informatio...
