Supporting Design for User Acceptance of Health Technologies from a Macro-Temporal Perspective
(2022)User acceptance is key for the successful uptake and use of health technologies, but also impacted by numerous factors not always easily accessible nor operationalised by designers in practice. This work seeks to ... -
Supporting Flexibility and Awareness in Localisation Workflows
(2009)A key strategy for supporting users in distributed work systems is to help them maintain awareness of the state of the work system and of the work being done by others. At the same time, many knowledge intensive industries ... -
Supporting Learner Model Exchange in Educational Web Systems
(2011)The heterogeneity of learner models in structure, syntax and semantics makes sharing them a significant challenge for existing educational web systems. Creating mappings between the different types of learner models is one ... -
Supporting Mobility using Context-Based Reasoning
(2006)Recent research in mobile computing has given rise to a new class of ubiquitous applications that are deployed in dynamic networks where communication is not reliable. In this paper, we describe how context-based reasoning ... -
Supporting object oriented languages on the Comandos platform
(Commission of the European, 1991)The Comandos project 3 is designing and implementing a platform to support distributed persistent applications. In particular the platform supports the object oriented style of programming. An essential requirement of the ... -
Supporting Personalised Information Exploration through Subjective Expert-created Semantic Attributes
(2009)Ordinary users are finding it increasingly difficult to explore the large volumes of diverse data they encounter in their everyday lives. Techniques based on data mining algorithms are useful but they tend to be too complex ... -
Supporting Personalised Simulations: A Pedagogic Support Framework For Modelling And Composing Adaptive Dialectic Simulations
(Society for Computer Simulation International, 2007) -
Supporting Student Engagement through Explorable Visual Narratives
(2018)This paper introduces VisEN, a novel visual narrative framework that has been shown to facilitate, support, and enhance student engagement in an adaptive Online Learning Environment (OLE). VisEN provides explorable visual ... -
Supporting Users in Creating Pedagogically Sound Personalised Learning Objects
(Springer, 2008)Successful eLearning is predicated on the application of pedagogies appropriate to online education that respond to the capabilities and needs of the learners. Typically, designing and assembling personalized learning ... -
A Survey of Soft Skill Simulation Authoring Tools
(ACM, 2008) -
A Survey of Stylisation in Computer Animation
(2006)Stylistic animation and rendering approaches intentionally produce output that diverges from physical reality in order to enhance the quality of graphical output. In this paper, we discuss the domain of stylistic animation, ... -
Symbolic bisimulation for a higher-order distributed language with passivation (extended abstract)
(2013)We study the behavioural theory of a higher-order distributed calculus with private names and locations that can be passivated. For this language, we present a novel Labelled Transition System where higher-order inputs are ... -
Sympathy for the digital: influence of synthetic voice on affinity, social presence and empathy for photorealistic virtual humans
(2022)In this paper, we investigate the effect of a realism mismatch in the voice and appearance of a photorealistic virtual character in both immersive and screen-mediated virtual contexts. While many studies have investigated ... -
Synaesthesia Gallery AR: Journey Through the Senses - Using Augmented Reality for Education
(Springer, 2023)This work-in-progress paper presents Synaesthesia Gallery AR: Journey Through the Senses, an educational game-like experience designed to bring awareness of synaesthesia, to learn and understand creativity of cross-modal ... -
Synchrony in Human-Bonobo Dialog
(IEEE, 2020)Past research has suggested that bonobos have demonstrated capabilities of successful linguistic interaction with humans. A transcript of interactions linked to such claims is analyzed using methods that have been deployed ... -
The syntax of concealment: reliable methods for plain text information hiding
(2007)Many plain text information hiding techniques demand deep semantic processing, and so suffer in reliability. In contrast, syntactic processing is a more mature and reliable technology. Assuming a perfect parser, this paper ... -
Synthetic vision and memory for autonomous virtual humans
(Blackwell, 2002)A memory model based on ?stage theory?, an influential concept of memory from the field of cognitive psychology, is presented for application to autonomous virtual humans. The virtual human senses external stimuli through a ... -
A Synthetic Voice for an Assistive Conversational Agent: A Survey to Discover Italian Preferences regarding Synthetic Voice's Gender and Quality Level
(2023)Based on a previous investigation, a quantitative study aimed to identify user’ preferences towards four synthetic voices of two different quality levels (classified through the sophistication of the synthesizer: low vs. ... -
System support for scalable distributed virtual worlds.
(ACM, 1996)Lack of bandwidth has been shown to be a major impediment to achieving realism in large scale virtual worlds with many interacting entities. Recent projects that have addressed this problem have, for the most part, been ...
