Robot Mirroring: Promoting Empathy with an Artificial Agent by Reflecting the User's Physiological Affective States

Self-tracking aims to increase awareness, decrease undesired behaviors, and ultimately lead towards a healthier lifestyle. However, inappropriate communication of self-tracking results might cause the opposite effect. Subtle self-tracking feedback is an al ...

Towards Designing Games for Experimental Protocols Investigating Human-Based Phenomena

Ronan Boulic

Over the past few years scientific research has opened up to the idea of using digital games for human-based studies. Fields such as Neuroscience, Medical and Affective Computing are currently using games to study human-based phenomena. Even though a vast ...

PoLPer: Process-Aware Restriction of Over-Privileged Setuid Calls in Legacy Applications

Mathias Josef Payer, Zhenyu Wu

setuid system calls enable critical functions such as user authentications and modular privileged components. Such operations must only be executed after careful validation. However, current systems do not perform rigorous checks, allowing exploitation of ...

Towards semantics-driven modelling and simulation of context-aware manufacturing systems

Damiano Nunzio Arena

Systems modelling and simulation are two important facets for thoroughly and effectively analysing manufacturing processes. The ever-growing complexity of the latter, the increasing amount of knowledge, and the use of Semantic Web techniques adhering meani ...

Subjective and physiological responses to façade and sunlight pattern geometry in virtual reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo, Kynthia Chamilothori, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues

This study investigates the joint impact of façade geometry and associated sunlight patterns on occupant subjective perception and physiological responses through a novel experimental method coupling physically-based simulations shown in virtual reality wi ...

Safety In Research Institutions: How to Better Communicate the Risks using Numerical Simulations

Thierry Meyer, Anna Maria Novello, Damien Stricker, Riccardo Iannarelli

What are the risks for the personnel following a gas leak in a laboratory? How effective are the safety measures (gas detection) put in place? Are users aware of how fast they can be exposed? These questions have been approached with the intent to better c ...

Monitoring for awareness and reflection in ubiquitous learning environments

Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

Despite the educational affordances that ubiquitous learning has shown, it is still hampered by several orchestration difficulties. One of these difficulties is that teachers lose awareness of what the students perform across the multiple technologies and ...

A Framework for Cooperative Human-Aware Navigation and Coordination of Multi-Robot Systems in Social Environments

Zeynab Talebpour

Continual developments in robotic technology have enabled the use of robots in everyday applications in domestic, office and public spaces. Although single robot problems have been the main focus of social robotics research, applications of robots in socia ...
