This paper describes a web-based framework for the evaluation of end-user experience in adaptive and personalised e-Learning systems. The benefits of the framework include: i) the provision of an interactive reference and recommendation tool to encourage the evaluation of systems that fulfil certain methodological requirements, ii) the collaborative nature of the framework facilitates the sharing of information among researchers from the information technology, adaptive hypermedia, information retrieval and e-Learning communities, iii) the identification of pitfalls in the evaluation planning process as well as in data analysis, and iv) the translation of presented information into users language of choice. This paper also presents a review of User-Centred Evaluation approaches, methodologies and techniques adopted by current systems and frameworks. The results of this review are analysed. From these results, an architectural design for the framework was specified.","PeriodicalId":128421,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132412488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a search pattern is applicable to many systems, including shipment and travel planning. This paper formally introduces and analyzes a sequential variant of the general model. According to that variant, only a single agent searches at any given time, and when an agent initiates its search, it has complete information about the minimum value obtained by the other agents so far. We prove that the search strategy of each agent, according to the equilibrium of the resulting Stackelberg game, is reservation-value based, and show how the reservation values can be calculated. We also analyze the agents' optimal search strategies when they are fully cooperative (i.e., when they aim to maximize the expected joint benefit). The equilibrium strategies and the expected benefit of each agent are illustrated using a synthetic homogeneous environment, thereby demonstrating the properties of this new search scheme and the benefits of cooperation.","PeriodicalId":128421,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128595897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although most online social networks now offer fine-grained controls of information sharing, these are rarely used, both because their use imposes additional burden on the user and because they are too complex for an average user to handle. To mitigate the problem, we propose an intelligent privacy manager that automates the assignment of sharing permissions, taking into account the content of the published information and user's high-level sharing policies. At the core of our contribution is a novel privacy policy language which explicitly accounts for social web concepts and which balances the expressive power with representation complexity. The manager employs named entity recognition algorithms to annotate sensitive parts of published information and an answer set programming system to evaluate user's privacy policies and determine the list of safe recipients. We implemented a prototype of the manager on the Face book platform. On a small test scenario, the manager reached the F-measure value of 0.831 in correctly recommending safe recipients.","PeriodicalId":128421,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133948705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important aspect of individual behaviour is emotion which plays a significant role in all aspects of human decision making. For example, heightened emotional states can lead people to take highly unexpected or irrational actions. One popular motivation for simulation of virtual crowds is to generate believable characters in movies and computer games. Recently the concept of serious games has been introduced in both academic and industrial circles. In this paper, we propose an emotion engine, based on modern appraisal theory, that is able to model various emotional crowd characteristics. This appraisal engine is capable of capturing the dynamics of emotional contagion and we show how different crowd composition can lead to different patterns of emotional contagion. In addition, we describe a serious game designed for training military personnel in peaceful crowd control. We evaluate this engine in the context of a property protection protest scenario where the players or soldiers are tasked to maintain a peaceful protest without violence. A systematic evaluation is presented which supports the facial validity of the emotion engine and our model of emotional contagion.","PeriodicalId":128421,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133019315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces effective teamwork under model uncertainty (i.e., potentially inaccurate transition and observation functions) as a novel challenge for DEC-POMDPs and presents MODERN, the first execution-centric framework for DEC-POMDPs explicitly motivated by addressing such model uncertainty. MODERN's shift of coordination reasoning from planning-time to execution-time avoids the high cost of computing optimal plans whose promised quality may not be realized in practice. There are three key ideas in MODERN: (i) it maintains an exponentially smaller model of other agents' beliefs and actions than in previous work and then further reduces the computation-time and space expense of this model via bounded pruning, (ii) it reduces execution-time computation by exploiting BDI theories of teamwork, and limits communication to key trigger points, and (iii) it limits its decision-theoretic reasoning about communication to trigger points and uses a systematic markup to encourage extra communication at these points -- thus reducing uncertainty among team members at trigger points. We empirically show that MODERN is substantially faster than existing DEC-POMDP execution-centric methods while achieving significantly higher reward.","PeriodicalId":128421,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116402616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
