A development case showed that community plays a key role in both the emergence of challenges and in the determination of their solutions. The implications of this study showed that activity theory was a useful tool for understanding contextual issues. Therefore, instructional designers first developed relevant tools and community-based solutions. This study attempts to use activity theory in a prescriptive way, though it is known as a descriptive theory. Finally, since virtual world projects have many aspects, the variety of challenges and practical solutions presented in this study will provide practitioners with suggestions on how to overcome problems in future.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"22 1","pages":"303 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2016.1179797","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60344864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many existing Web service QoS prediction approaches are highly accurate and useful in Internet environments.

In this paper, by weakening the volatility of QoS data, we propose an accurate Web service QoS prediction approach based on the collaborative filtering algorithm. This approach contains three processes, that is, QoS preprocessing, user similarity computing and QoS predicting. We have implemented our proposed approach with an experiment based on real-world and synthetic datasets.

These users demand access to relevant web pages from the Internet within fraction of seconds. To achieve this goal, there is a requirement of an efficient categorization of web page contents. Manual categorization of these billions of web pages to achieve high accuracy is a challenging task. Most of the existing techniques reported in the literature are semi-automatic. Using these techniques, higher level of accuracy cannot be achieved. To achieve these goals, this paper proposes an automatic web pages categorization into the domain category. The proposed scheme is based on the identification of specific and relevant features of the web pages. In the proposed scheme, first extraction and evaluation of features are done followed by filtering the feature set for categorization of domain web pages. A feature extraction tool based on the HTML document object model of the web page is developed in the proposed scheme. Feature extraction and weight assignment are based on the collection of domain-specific keyword list developed by considering various domain pages. Moreover, the keyword list is reduced on the basis of ids of keywords in keyword list. Also, stemming of keywords and tag text is done to achieve a higher accuracy. An extensive feature set is generated to develop a robust classification technique. The proposed scheme was evaluated using a machine learning method in combination with feature extraction and statistical analysis using support vector machine kernel as the classification tool. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of its accuracy in different categories of web pages.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"22 1","pages":"223 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2016.1152316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60344579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some laboratories, experiments are being conducted with humanoid robots as artificial tutors because of their likeness to humans, the rich possibilities of using this type of media, and the multimodal interaction capabilities of these robots. The robot-assisted learning system, a special type of e-learning system, aims to increase the learner's concentration, pleasure, and learning performance dramatically. However, very few empirical studies have examined the effect on learning performance of incorporating humanoid robot technology into e-learning systems or people's willingness to accept or adopt robot-assisted learning systems. In particular, human likeness, the essential characteristic of humanoid robots as compared with conventional e-learning systems, has not been discussed in a theoretical context. Hence, the purpose of this study is to propose a theoretical model to explain the process of adoption of robot-assisted learning systems. In the proposed model, human likeness is conceptualized as a combination of media richness, multimodal interaction capabilities, and para-social relationships; these factors are considered as possible determinants of the degree to which human cognition and affection are related to the adoption of robot-assisted learning systems.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"22 1","pages":"169 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2016.1152312","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60344391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to recognize, interpret, and process opinions and sentiments over the web, sentiment analysis is emerging as an important issue in human-centric information technology. Paradigms of sentiment analysis such as machineunderstandable web and human-centric web offer a promising and potential solution to mining and analyzing the very large and varied web data. To improve computers’ understanding of human-centric information, relationship analysis between persons with shared common sense information known to everyone is necessary. The seven papers in this Special Issue address some of the challenges inherent in this. The first paper “Human Likeness: Cognitive and Affective Factors Affecting Adoption of Robot-Assisted Learning Systems” by Hosun Yoo, Ohbyung Kwon, and Namyeon Lee proposes an integrated theoretical model, which explains the effect of human likeness of robots on user’s propensity to adopt robot-assisted learning systems. The human likeness is conceptualized as a combination of media richness, multimodal interaction capabilities, and parasocial relationships. To validate the proposed model, a robot-assisted learning prototype was utilized and survey data were collected from general users. The resulting data were empirically tested, and the test results were provided and analyzed. The second paper entitled “Predicting Personality Traits Related to Consumer Behavior using SNS Analysis” by Baik et al. proposes a method for predicting the four personality traits – (1) Extroversion, (2) Public Self-Consciousness, (3) Desire for Uniqueness, and (4) Self-Esteem – that correlate with buying behaviors in the recent consumer behavior discipline. They also propose another method to analyze user behaviors in a social network service by using user behavior matrix, friendship analysis, and route analysis. In the third paper entitled “An Efficient Scheme for Automatic Web Pages Categorization using Support Vector Machine”, Vinod Kumar Bhalla and Neeraj Kumar proposes a support vector machine (SVM)-based web page categorization, which is based on identification of specific and relevant features of the web pages.

The traditional approach for modeling a user profile in computer science is to collect and generalize the user's buying behavior or preference history, generated from the user's interactions with recommender systems. According to consumer behavior research, however, internal factors such as personality traits influence a consumer's buying behavior. Existing studies have tried to adapt the Big 5 personality traits to personalized recommendations. However, although studies have shown that these traits can be useful to some extent for personalized recommendation, the causal relationship between the Big 5 personality traits and the buying behaviors of actual consumers has not been validated. In this paper, we propose a novel method for predicting the four personality traits—Extroversion, Public Self-consciousness, Desire for Uniqueness, and Self-esteem—that correlate with buying behaviors. The proposed method automatically constructs a user-personality-traits prediction model for each user by analyzing the user behavior on a social networking service. The experimental results from an analysis of the collected Facebook data show that the proposed method can predict user-personality traits with greater precision than methods that use the variables proposed in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":54386,"journal":{"name":"New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia","volume":"50 1","pages":"189 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13614568.2016.1152313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60344439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
