The eXtensible Dynamic Presentation Manager for content adaptation
2008
Human Computer Interaction studies deals with systems and tools that are able to improve user experience during interaction with computer. For this purpose, modern web application are expected to supply multimodal and multi-channel access, adaptivity and transcoding features. We will present in this work the eXtensible Dynamic Presentation Manager (XDPM) which is a set of innovative tools that support the eXtensible Presentation Language (XPL) in the adaptation of contents to different working contexts. The adaptation is performed according to the delivery context information which have been formalized by means of a profiler system. A profile holds information about the specific access devi…

XPL the Extensible Presentation Language
2009
The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in the development of web interfaces enabling both multiple ways to access contents and, at the same time, fruition by multiple modalities of interaction (point-and-click, contents reading, voice commands, gestures, etc.). In this paper we describe a framework aimed at streamlining the design process of multi-channel, multimodal interfaces enabling full reuse of software components. This framework is called the eXtensible Presentation architecture and Language (XPL), a presentation language based on design pattern paradigm that keeps separated the presentation layer from the underlying programming logic. The language supplies a methodology to…

A holistic approach to manage environmental quality by using the Kano model and social cognitive theory
2020
International audience; Since its first proposition in 1984, the Kano model has been used extensively in a variety of contexts within industries and academic research demonstrating its wide applicability. The Kano model allows for describing the relationship between an objective aspect and a subjective aspect. Yet is this relevant for environmental quality as well? In this study, we explore the cases where the Kano model is used for assessing environmental quality and its perception by consumers and identify the potential influencing factors for its application with this respect. We find that the Kano model can serve as an effective tool for converging towards environmental quality and sust…
Hardware and Software Platforms for Distributed Computing on Resource Constrained Devices
2014
The basic idea of distributed computing is that it is possible to solve a large problem by using the resources of various computing devices connected in a network. Each device interacts with each other in order to process a part of a problem, contributing to the achievement of a global solution. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an example of distributed computing on low resources devices. WSNs encountered a considerable success in many application areas. Due to the constraints related to the small sensor nodes capabilities, distributed computing in WSNs allows to perform complex tasks in a collaborative way, reducing power consumption and increasing battery life. Many hardware platforms …
Topic 5: Parallel and Distributed Data Management
2013
Nowadays we are facing an exponential growth of new data that is overwhelming the capabilities of companies, institutions and the society in general to manage and use it in a proper way. Ever-increasing investments in Big Data, cutting edge technologies and the latest advances in both application development and underlying storage systems can help dealing with data of such magnitude. Especially parallel and distributed approaches will enable new data management solutions that operate effectively at large scale.
