It is based on links between the nodes that represent the various affordances available to the user of an interactive system. Like any notation its main benefit may be that of facilitating communication between the customer who commissions the system, the interaction designer and the implementer. The origin of the new notation was a proposed representation of an app designed to support a person with Type-1 diabetes in the management of their condition, and the use of that representation to investigate navigational transitions carried out by the user. Potential generalization of the notation, as well as its benefits and weaknesses, are being investigated.","PeriodicalId":149902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115324827","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 new therapeutic methodology was created to support and make the therapist's work more attractive. Pepper is equipped with a tablet and two identical cameras. The tablet is used to let the patient interact with the application, while the cameras are used to capture their real-time emotions to understand the degree of attention and any difficulty that they may have. The interaction with the tablet takes place through some exercises in the form of games. The exercises performed by the subject are analyzed and combined with the data captured by the cameras. The combination of these data is processed to propose appropriate levels of therapeutic activities. This process leads to the digitization of the patient's healing path so that any improvement (or worsening) is monitored and causes Pepper to become a reliable and predictable technological intermediary for the child. The work has been developed in collaboration with a diagnostic and therapeutic center. Interacting with a humanoid robot, children exhibit a higher engagement, which can be explained, according to the psychologists, by the fact that a robot is emotionally less rich than human beings, and the patient feels less scared.","PeriodicalId":149902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125149755","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}

As a consequence, many organizations have the need of migrating their Java desktop applications towards the mobile technology. In this paper we present a miniaturization approach (process and supporting tool) named miniJava for the automatic miniaturization of Java desktop applications towards Android. The Java business logic is unvaried, while the calls to the Java objects of the interface are mapped into call to objects of the target technology. Semi-automatic layout fragmentation enables us to partition a desktop Java interface in various mobile screens. The approach also migrates the application files and enables the network connection. We conduct a user study where we assess the user perception in terms of user experience and affective reaction of the miniaturized application generated by a real Java desktop application which also has real Android variant. The end-user sample consisted of 18 participants. Results of this preliminary evaluation are encouraging: they do not reveal particular problems when using the miniaturized version automatically generated of the real desktop app with respect to its original Android variant, except for the novelty, which is better perceived for the native Android one.","PeriodicalId":149902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126953148","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}

However, the sequence of the charts observed by users is not controlled and it is difficult for users to discover relations among charts. Therefore, we propose a method for constructing a navigation structure that shows these relations based on the syntax and semantics of the charts. An excerpt from the structure is used as a context menu that allows users to navigate through a series of charts and explore their relations in a structured way. A qualitative study is conducted to evaluate the system and the results show that our approach helps users explore the connections among charts and enhances the understanding of time-series forecasting performance.","PeriodicalId":149902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125956627","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}

Domus is designed to be used in museum environments. The game board, in fact, simulates the environments of an ancient Roman domus, inspired by those present in Pompeii. Depending on the position of the tangibles on the screen and on the actions carried out by the users, the system will provide notions and multimedia contents concerning the daily life of the ancient Romans, thus allowing gradual learning during the gaming session.","PeriodicalId":149902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125171877","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}

As a consequence, good design practices are often sacrificed, possibly leading to the introduction of sub-optimal design or implementation solutions, the so-called code smells. Several studies have shown that the presence of code smells makes the source code more change- and fault-prone, reduces productivity, and causes greater rework and more significant design efforts for developers. Refactoring is the practice that developers may use to remove code smells without changing the external behavior of the source code. However, it requires much time and effort and is poorly automated, often leading developers to prefer keeping low-quality code instead of spending time in designing and performing refactoring operations. To mitigate this problem and support developers throughout the process of code smell identification and refactoring, in this paper we present cASpER, a IntelliJ IDEA plugin that provides visual and semi-automatic support for detection and refactoring four different types of code smells.
