These files are useful and valuable to students. However, such files have to be retrieved for self-learning purposes, and there is still a lack of support for self-learners browsing through slides containing information that might be irrelevant to their query. We describe a slide retrieval method involving the snippet generation of target slides, and we discuss how to present the retrieval results to users by considering what portions of the slides are relevant to a user query, on the basis of the relationships between slides. This method is based on (1) the keyword conceptual structure of the conceptual relationship that implicitly exists between keywords that are extracted from the slide text of the presentation content by Word Net and (2) the presentational structure of the indent levels in the slides. With our novel snippet-generation method, users can easily determine which slides to learn by browsing the relevant portions of the desired slides in the presentation and by focusing on portions from either detailed or generalized slides. We experimentally confirmed that our method enables the users to browse snippets of the retrieved slides efficiently and effectively.","PeriodicalId":386991,"journal":{"name":"2011 Ninth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128146327","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}

The Common Touch utilises a large multi-touch display, presenting interactive visualisations of emotive slogans. The artistic brief is to engage participants in the exploration, touching and manipulation of slogans. Participants reveal the missing words of slogans by touching them. The Common Touch utilises several input modalities to build an affective representation of the group interactions: emotional speech recognition, video feature extraction, multi-keyword spotting and touch events. The output of affective fusion is used to refine the selection of slogans presented. We include results of a series of experiments using The Common Touch with 24 subjects in groups of 3 using video analysis, logs and questionnaires for data collection. We describe, through interaction analysis, how users utilised the different modalities, suggesting implications for implementing multimodal aesthetic applications to support multi-user participation: tracking multi-user engagement, coverage of possible affective cues in each modality, multimodality in temporal and event analysis, dramaturgy and performative interaction.","PeriodicalId":386991,"journal":{"name":"2011 Ninth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131446882","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}

Nevertheless, computers are still not very affordable, especially when compared to phones. Besides, users are usually required to be mature and skilled enough to use a computer. In this paper, we propose a VoIP solution thanks to which students below 10 years of age would be provided with services similar to those provided by a typical forum / blog. Due to their simplicity, blogs enhance collaboration among students. The challenge is to be able to offer a user-friendly solution that can be used by students of grades 4, 5, and 6. Through this audio forum / blog, a student can use an IP phone to post questions related to an academic topic. He/she will also be able to receive answers from a classmate. The goal of the study that we conducted is to check whether such an audio alternative can replace a visual device. This study also aims at checking if this replacement is efficient, easy to use, and productive.","PeriodicalId":386991,"journal":{"name":"2011 Ninth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129896396","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}

The use of the Web is rapidly spreading into many new areas outside its original intended use, including its use as a platform for software applications. So far, a number of obstacles have hindered the development and deployment of full-fledged, truly interactive web applications. However, new emerging standards such as HTML5 and WebGL are removing the remaining limitations and transforming the Web into a real software platform. In this paper we argue that the trend towards web-based software will cause a paradigm shift in the software industry from binary applications to dynamically delivered web applications. In the future, the use of conventional binary programs will be limited to system software, whereas the vast majority of end user software will be developed using web technologies. All this will imply significant changes in the development, deployment and use of software, and open up interesting opportunities in software engineering research as well.","PeriodicalId":386991,"journal":{"name":"2011 Ninth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130430690","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}

Sociologists have studied this question since 1930s. Some famous sociologists (for example, Scott Feld) concluded that a social network is composed of superposed cliques of different sizes, and a social network evolves in the form of clique superposition. However, sociologists didn't verify the theory in large scale data due to lack of computing ability. Motivated by this challenge, incorporated with the theory, we propose a Clique-superposition model for social networks. This model generates undirected weighted networks which obey earlier reported patterns and the new patterns observed in our study. The main contributions of this study include the following: (a) we discover a number of new patterns in undirected weighted social networks based on three large real world data sets, (b) we study the principle of social network evolution and propose a Clique-superposition model for social networks following our intuition, (c) we conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate that our model can generate networks with observed patterns, old and new.","PeriodicalId":386991,"journal":{"name":"2011 Ninth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130840049","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}
