Nowadays new interaction forms are not limited by Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) making Human Computer Interaction (HCI) more natural. This paper presents: a novel interaction approach within the scope of gesture-based interfaces, and some practical consequences of adopting this approach. Thus, we redefine the concept of gesture based on the sum of three interrelated concepts (the Para-language, the Body language and the Sound language). The relationships among these concepts are expressed in a conceptual map through parameterized links. Finally, the article shows how the combination of the link parameters yields to the definition of a specific application scenario. Thus, the result of the identification of these scenarios opens new horizons towards the identification of new ways of gesture-based interaction.
如今，新的交互形式不受图形用户界面(gui)的限制，使人机交互(HCI)更加自然。本文提出了一种新的基于手势界面的交互方法，以及采用这种方法的一些实际后果。因此，我们基于三个相互关联的概念(Para-language, Body language和Sound language)的总和来重新定义手势的概念。这些概念之间的关系通过参数化链接在概念图中表示。最后，本文将展示链接参数的组合如何产生特定应用程序场景的定义。因此，识别这些场景的结果为识别基于手势的交互的新方式开辟了新的视野。

Retrieving information is a central operation when accomplishing most of today business tasks. Unfortunately, a person has hard time finding relevant information necessary to accomplish its business task due to the complexity of these information processes. In certain corporate bodies (aeronautical, automotive, etc.) these tasks are critical and should be run from specific information. As a solution, information retrieval systems must take into account the user context which integrates the user business task to improve its overall accuracy and facilitate the achievement of the task. To solve this problem we present in this paper the architecture of an information retrieval system applicable to a business situation. It is based on a triptych context model which integrates three dimensions: user, task and environment. This model is associated with a learning process and to a process that creates according to the conjunction of all the contextual factors, a particular situation. This situation will be exploited by the information search system to improve its accuracy in being the entry point of the information retrieval system. We explain how this system can improve the information search in a business context by taking into account cognitive, technical and social aspects.

In this paper, we propose motion and tilt as an input technique for Weight-Shifting Mobiles, a recently proposed mobile interactive system that employs a moving center of gravity as an output channel. We present a prototype that combines weight actuation with accelerometer input. We discuss how motion- and tilt-based applications in current mobile devices can be enhanced through weight actuation, and, on the other hand, how weight-based output can be augmented through motion and tilt input. Furthermore, we point to new application spaces that arise from the proposed combination. We present a study in which we compared a button-based input technique and the proposed accelerometer-based input style for a weight-actuated system. We present three application scenarios: A supportive technique for graphical user interfaces, a gesture support scenario, and a balance actuation system. While the conducted user study did not reveal any quantitative differences in button- and accelerometer-based input, user comments indicate that motion and tilt are suitable, and in some cases even preferable, as an intuitive input for weight-based mobile interactions.

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is greatly influenced by findings in psychological research concerning interaction with complex technical processes. Psychological concepts like perception and comprehension of information, as well as projection of future system states can be summarized as situation awareness. Poor situation awareness can increase the probability of human error during interaction, caused by erroneous recall and interpretation of percept information through an interface that does not match the user’s understanding and mental capabilities. Therefore, a new approach to human-centric reconfiguration of user interfaces will be presented to support situation awareness and, in this way, reduce human errors that occur during interaction.

Managing multimedia network services in a User-centric manner provides for more delivered quality to the users, whilst maintaining a limited footprint on the network resources. For efficient User-centric management it is imperative to have a precise metric for perceived quality. Quality of Experience (QoE) is such a metric, which captures many different aspects that compose the perception of quality. The drawback of using QoE is that due to its subjectiveness, accurate measurement necessitates execution of cumbersome subjective studies. In this work we propose a method that uses Machine Learning techniques to build QoE prediction models based on limited subjective data. Using those models we have developed an algorithm that generates the remedies for improving the QoE of observed multimedia stream. Selecting the optimal remedy is done by comparing the costs in resources associated to each of them. Coupling the QoE estimation and calculation of remedies produces a tool for effective implementation of a User-centric management loop for multimedia streaming services.

A new technique for digital watermarking MP3 file is presented. A Psychoacoustic auditory model is applied to shape and insert the watermark waveform into the MP3 file. The strength of frequency hopping spread spectrum and multiple frequency-shift keying modulation is used to generate a robust digital watermark. Watermark recovery is performed in the absence of the original file. According to experimental tests, the proposed method not only shows a good resistance to different kinds of attacks either intentional or unintentional but also retains the perceptual quality of MP3 file.

Personal information sharing is one of the most common online activities. Most of the times we feel forced to give up about some privacy in order to share a piece of information with others. This paper reflects on the anonymity, integrity, privacy of users’ personal information and it’s scattering across the Web by taking an approach to digital identity management concept. Consequently it also reflects on the users’ information certification and accountability. In this paper we purpose a Federated Identity Management solution for the Web to decrease the privacy issues and avoid the lost of anonymity that may occur when users exchange their particular information within web contexts. We will use a collection of publicly available strong identification mechanisms, such as the users (Portuguese) National Electronic Citizen Identity Card, and a Federated Identity initiative to create the GlobaliD, a Federated Identity Provider to address the previously mentioned reflections. Our aim with the development of GlobaliD is to take a step further in the digital identity management and therefore in the privacy and anonymity safety of the users identity Online by making it more versatile, responsible, trustworthy, integrity and privacy safe, anonym and thus secure.

Medication management process in a hospital includes all the work that is done concerning to a certain patient’s medical treatment. According to international studies, the process is very prone to errors, which can cause adverse drug events and endanger the patient safety. In this paper, we will show how medication management process can be improved by a user-centric and computer-based automated dose-dispensing system. We will focus on the changes in medication management process, when the automated dose-dispensing system is implemented into practice. As a result of this implementation, we get a model for decision-making in medication management process and several benefits, like hygienic medication doses, smaller medication warehouses at wards and in the pharmacy. Additionally with the automated dose-dispensing system, pharmacists have to review patients’ medication regimen before dispensing medications in order to identify possible interactions. However, during medication dispensing in the hospital pharmacy, error rate was discovered to be 0.36%. In wards the error rate was 0.013%. Regardless of these, the use reliability of the ADDS was noticed to be 100%.

A Data Sharing Agreement is an agreement among contracting parties regulating how they share data under certain contextual conditions. Upon the definition phase, where the parties negotiate the respective authorizations on data covered by the agreement, the resulting policy may be analysed in order to identify possible conflicts or incompatibilities among authorizations clauses. In this paper, we propose a formal framework for Data Sharing Agreement analysis. Our proposal is built on a process algebra formalism dealing with contextual data, encoded into the Maude engine to make it executable. The effectiveness of the analysis is shown through a sensitive data sharing test bed. Furthermore, we present an implementation of the analyser exposed as a Web Service built on top of Maude. The Web Service technology allows the modularity of the whole architecture with respect to the analysis tool.

The paper proposes the Activity circle, a Social Visualization mechanism based on the concept of Social proxy. A Social proxy is a minimalist graphical representation that portrays socially salient aspects of users’ interactions. The Activity circle aims to facilitate users in socializing how they perceive the accomplishment of their work activities when these are regulated by workflow management technologies. In particular, the social information visualized by the Activity circle should primarily facilitate people in sharing their attitudes toward used workflow technologies, secondly, this information should aim to create and maintain a common identity among co-workers. Third, it should facilitate the implementation of informal modes of control, i.e., attempts that workers locally make to informally regulate their behavior in order to reach the organization’s goals. Finally, this information could also be used by management to understand how much the regulation of work, as imposed by technology, is accepted. The Activity circle will be integrated into novel forms of Workflow Management Systems, i.e., Workflow Management Social Systems, these systems are designed to enhance current workflow management technologies by taking into account socio psychological findings regarding the way people usually interact, in particular focusing on the nature of interactions when Social Visualization approaches are used.
