In this paper we introduce GraFooSha [GRAndmaFOOdSHAring] - a device that provides access to food sharing social network to senior users. GraFooSha is a physical device that incorporates deep-rooted concepts the target group is familiar with. A user study (N=4), conceptual design as well as industrial design is described in the paper. Followed by description of technical realization of mechanical, electronic and software components. The paper is concluded by evaluation with the target user audience (N=10).

Our goal is to develop methodologies for measuring and analyzing subjective performance of users collaborating in immersive 3D spaces such as Virtual Collaboration Arena (VirCA). The collaborative task in the study was to plan a schedule for a foreign student group spending a weekend in Budapest, Hungary with shared digital representations of documents and other information. The performance is measurable with objective indicators, but a weekend program experience is not an objective category, because includes preferences, aspects, judgement and personal attitudes. Conventionally, users' subjective performance is difficult to measure in collaborative tasks. Q-sorting technique was applied to rank the programs, analyzing them with simple descriptive statistics and Q-methodology.

For deeper understanding of mechanisms of communication and cooperation between team members in virtual technical environments, it is necessary to identify the causal relations between elementary behavioural actions and the psychophysiological responses. Since time is an important ingredient in all causal relations, there is a strong need for methods capable of causal analysis of time series carrying information about the activities of communicating and cooperating partners. Such a method is Granger causal modelling, by the help of which behavioural and psychophysiological data from team members working in a 3D virtual reality environment were simultaneously analysed.

The capability to recognize a communication function (dialogue act) of the particular utterance spoken by the speaker in the dialogue interaction, is one of the important ability of human participants in dialogue interactions. Automatic dialog act recognition can make human-computer dialogue interaction more natural and effective. Dialogue act recognition is a language-dependent technology and resources in desired language are required in form of a corpus, where each utterance is labeled by one of the dialog acts. Approaches based on statistical modeling are usually applied to classify dialogue acts. In the paper, simple distance-based approach is introduced and results of evaluation experiments on newly-prepared corpus in Slovak language are presented.

Serious games can be most efficient if the users are motivated and engaged in the gameplay. Whereas improving core gameplay mechanics can probably yield good results, a dynamic difficulty controlling system might offer additional benefit to a well-designed game. Although performance is the easiest measure to base a control framework on, it is a combination of many different effects. Physiology channels, such as electroencephalography, electrocardiography and pupillometry can reveal the changes in invested mental effort levels and would serve as a more objective base for a difficulty controlling system. To test this assumption, we used Tetris because it is a well-known game and it is simple to manipulate difficulty. In the first half of the experiment, all participants played four pre-set difficulty levels and one customized. In the second part, we tried to elicit certain mental states (boredom, frustration, engagement and fatigue) that are important markers for a controlling system by manipulating difficulty in different patterns. We have found that only pupil diameter data corresponded with expected results. Possible causes and future directions are discussed.

Route descriptions are instructions that tell one how to go from one place to another. The route descriptions generated by classical navigation services, e.g. car navigations are simply turn-by-turn instructions, which do not consider any user's prior spatial knowledge of the environment. In other words, the level of detail of the communicated information is not appropriate for users with previous spatial knowledge of the environment. In this paper, we describe a model to represent a user's spatial knowledge and propose a method to use this knowledge to generalize turn-by-turn route descriptions in order to be more suitable to the individual user's spatial cognitive background.

Rapid development of information and communications technology changed our world for the better in the last couple of years. It has also opened the door ahead of new possibilities in order to organize large social systems like urban transportation more efficiently. However, exploitation of these opportunities in this smarter world is still at a low level. A major reason for this could be that smarter planning of urban transport requires smarter appraisal tools to aid policy making. The objective of this paper is to give an overview on the limitations of current transport appraisal practices and on the way ahead in providing a more intelligent decision-making framework for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning.

In our paper we would like to introduce a three-dimensional virtual library model based on the system and presumable content of the ancient Library of Alexandria. We use the classification system elaborated by the famous librarian, poet and scholar Callimachus focusing primarily on the field of Greek poetry and drama in the 3rd century BC. Accordingly, we select those ancient and well-known authors on that field whose texts, completed with short biographical data, may be a good starting point for the content of the virtual library which we would like to gradually develop to be a knowledge base of literary content. Currently we are using the English translations of the selected ancient Greek texts with the intention to gradually improve the content of the library with other texts and multimedia materials (other translations, paintings, commentaries, related texts from the ancient and modern culture etc.) which would serve as background knowledge for the interpretation of the texts. We present a web-based search and presentation interface created for our three dimensional virtual library model which provides both a 3D and a spatial 2D hypertext representation of the search results. We describe a scale-free network model, the so-called Alexandrian model of network, which the organization and future development of the represented library content is based on. Finally, we discuss the main purpose and possible applications of our virtual library model.

Smart city applications are expected to play an important role in city traffic management. Smart traffic solutions seem inevitable to manage expected growths in road loads. In this paper, we present a combination of hardware and software which allows us to simulate traffic situations. The measurement occurs in real-time with a designated hardware component assembled into cars. The simulation itself is implemented within the Robocar World Championship system, or more precisely within the Robocar City Emulator. We will show that this system is suitable to create such a simulation based on crowdsensed data.
