ÐWhile task modeling and task-based design are entering into current practice in the design of interactive software applications, there is still a lack of tools supporting the development and analysis of task models. Such tools should provide developers with ways to represent tasks, including their attributes and objects and their temporal and semantic relationships, to easily create, analyze, ...

Believable characters constitute an important component of interactive stories. It is, therefore, not surprising to see much research focusing on developing algorithms that enhance character believability within interactive experiences, such as games, interactive narrative, and training environments. These efforts target a variety of problems, including portraying and synchronizing gestures wit...

This paper proposes an HCI approach to supporting interactive document retrieval in unorganized open information space. On the assumption that taxonomical thought are one of the most important and skilled operations for us when we organize or store information, we may discuss that clustering or classification techniques are applied to interactive interface. The proposed system, therefore, provi...

Interactive data visualization is a technique of analyzing data, where a user interacts with the system that results in visual patterns for a given set of data. In this paper, seven basic modules and their corresponding operations have been proposed that an interactive big data visualization tool for Census dataset should possess. The current visualization tools for Census dataset are limited i...

There currently are several views on human computer interaction in measuring interactive qualities of usability attributes: (1) the interaction-oriented view, (2) the user-oriented view, (3) the product-oriented view and (4) the formal view. Two different possibilities of measurement within the product-oriented view are introduced in this paper. Different types of user interfaces can be describ...

From recent studies, the concept of “monotone expectation” (ME) Interactive Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is well known, which was developed for case different fuzzy sets. This article develops such statistical parameters as variance, k-order moment and covariance. We investigate problem definition some parameters, when uncertainty represented by a monotone measure—a measure—instead an...

The aim of this study is to explore the effect different personnel attributes and relationship between people on evacuation efficiency in case a passenger ship fire. As such, proposes speed correction method that considers human interactions populations. Firstly, hesitant fuzzy set average operator are adopted quantify four kinds attributes. Secondly, considering influence people, extracts form...

Previous experiments investigating ERP correlates of anticipatory attention shifts triggered by central symbolic cues have identified a contralateral "early directing attention negativity," which was assumed to be generated by processes involved in the control of spatial orienting. Here we demonstrate that this component is not directly linked to the control of attentional shifts, but instead r...

The rise in atmospheric [CO(2)] is associated with increasing air temperature. However, studies on plant responses to interactive effects of [CO(2)] and temperature are limited, particularly for leaf structural attributes. In this study, Eucalyptus saligna plants were grown in sun-lit glasshouses differing in [CO(2)] (290, 400, and 650 µmol mol(-1)) and temperature (26 °C and 30 °C). Leaf anato...
