This paper presents semiotic engineering – a semiotic theory of HCI. The theory has the advantage to integrate back end and front end design and development perspectives into a single metacommunication process that aff...

This book aims to cover both the ontological determination and the characterization of what we call with terms such as disease and others related. The current edition is a more complete version of the first edition in Sp...

Nowadays, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with better intelligent capabilities than those present in today's Database Management Systems (DBMS). To build suc...

An important and largely area of computer image generation is that related with geographic information. Geographic data can be used for analysis, design and evaluation in natural-resource assessment, regional planning, a...

A program for the interactive design of elliptic approximation functions on personal computers 1s presented. The use of non-classical el1iptic functions and arithmetic-geometric iterations results in a substantial reduct...

In this article, we discuss the usability and customizability issues of interactive animations and simulations in web-based learning systems. The approach presented here extended our component-based architecture to build...

Nowadays information circulates quickly in a human organization, what generates an internal difficulty in preserving inside the organization essential information to support decision-making. Decision Support Systems (DSS...

El ensayo presenta el proyecto AMIA (Ambiente Multiagente Interactivo de Aprendizaje), cuyo principal objetivo es definir un modelo de formación continuada que complete el uso de tecnologías en el proceso educativo, po...

Current interactive multimedia learning software can not be accessed by learners with disabilities. This is the case for students with vision disabilities. Modeling techniques are necessary to map real world experiences ...

The term Animated Systems has been introduced in the bibliography in reference to interactive dynarnic worlds simulations, composed of interacting independent objects [Tra96]. Simulation is a powerful tool because it al...

Frameworks são a implementação de uma estrutura de aplicação genérica e reusável, a qual pode ser especializada para aplicações específicas, através da criação de subclasses ou componentes reusáveis. Frame...

The reusability of learning material is based on three main features: modularity, discoverability and interoperability. Several researchers on Intelligent Learning Environments have proposed the use of architectures bas...

The problem of information retrieval has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The amount of information sources via networks has grown and is still rapidly growing. Although existing search engines provide rap...

La manera en la que las personas interactúan con las computadoras no siempre es la misma. A medida que la tecnología avanza se desarrollan nuevas herramientas, nuevas propuestas de interacción emergen y se crean nueva...

A partir del año 2004 en la Universidad Nacional de La Rioja se incorporaron tecnologías web como herramientas complementarias en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, esta acción se realizó de manera escalar de acue...

This work presents an open source web environment to learn GPSS language in Modeling and Simulation courses. With this environment, students build their models by selecting entities and configuring them instead of progra...

In the past, numerous approaches have been formulated either for approximating Pareto-optimal alternatives or supporting the decision making process with an interactive multi criteria decision aiding methodology. The art...

We have developed a distributed DSS able to work in a dynamic way. This system is based on the use of mobile agents, which receive the user's queries and visit the DSS domains gathering the required information. One of t...

Sistemas mecatrônicos são basicamente compostos por componentes de hardware, software e mecânicos, caracterizando-se pela interação com o ambiente e, em geral, podem ser considerados como sistemas de tempo real. Est...
