Interface utilisateur naturelleEn informatique, une interface utilisateur naturelle, ou NUI, ou encore Interface Naturelle, est le terme commun utilisé par les designers et développeurs des interfaces humain-machine pour référer à une interface utilisateur qui est invisible, et qui le reste à mesure que l'utilisateur effectue diverses interactions. Le mot naturel est utilisé car la plupart des interfaces informatiques utilisent des appareils de contrôles artificiels qui nécessitent un apprentissage.
Système de recommandationLes systèmes de recommandation sont une forme spécifique de filtrage de l'information (SI) visant à présenter les éléments d'information (films, musique, livres, news, images, pages Web, etc) qui sont susceptibles d'intéresser l'utilisateur. Généralement, un système de recommandation permet de comparer le profil d'un utilisateur à certaines caractéristiques de référence, et cherche à prédire l'« avis » que donnerait un utilisateur.
Decision support systemA decision support system (DSS) is an information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help people make decisions about problems that may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance—i.e. unstructured and semi-structured decision problems. Decision support systems can be either fully computerized or human-powered, or a combination of both.
Computational complexityIn computer science, the computational complexity or simply complexity of an algorithm is the amount of resources required to run it. Particular focus is given to computation time (generally measured by the number of needed elementary operations) and memory storage requirements. The complexity of a problem is the complexity of the best algorithms that allow solving the problem. The study of the complexity of explicitly given algorithms is called analysis of algorithms, while the study of the complexity of problems is called computational complexity theory.
Éducation alternativeL'éducation alternative ou pédagogie alternative, également appelée pédagogie non traditionnelle, désigne toutes les approches pédagogiques se réclamant d'un courant pédagogique unique et qui diffèrent donc de la pédagogie dite « traditionnelle » basée sur un enseignement différencié. L'éducation alternative peut, par la suite et en fonction de ses résultats, venir enrichir la pédagogie traditionnelle qu'elle permet de faire évoluer ou au contraire disparaître par manque d'efficacité.
Active usersActive users is a software performance metric that is commonly used to measure the level of engagement for a particular software product or object, by quantifying the number of active interactions from users or visitors within a relevant range of time (daily, weekly and monthly). The metric has many uses in software management such as in social networking services, online games, or mobile apps, in web analytics such as in web apps, in commerce such as in internet banking and in academia, such as in user behavior analytics and predictive analytics.
Alternative schoolAn alternative school is an educational establishment with a curriculum and methods that are nontraditional. Such schools offer a wide range of philosophies and teaching methods; some have strong political, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, while others are more ad hoc assemblies of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of mainstream or traditional education.
Interaction techniqueAn interaction technique, user interface technique or input technique is a combination of hardware and software elements that provides a way for computer users to accomplish a single task. For example, one can go back to the previously visited page on a Web browser by either clicking a button, pressing a key, performing a mouse gesture or uttering a speech command. It is a widely used term in human-computer interaction. In particular, the term "new interaction technique" is frequently used to introduce a novel user interface design idea.
Rétroactionvignette|Représentation d'une boucle de rétroaction. La rétroaction (en anglais feedback) est un processus dans lequel un effet intervient aussi comme agent causal sur sa propre origine, la séquence des expressions de la cause principale et des effets successifs formant une boucle de rétroaction. Une rétroaction est une interaction dans laquelle la perturbation d’une variable provoque le changement d'une seconde variable, qui influe à son tour sur la variable initiale. Une rétroaction forme une boucle fermée dans un diagramme de causalité.
Product lifecycleIn industry, product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its inception through the engineering, design and manufacture, as well as the service and disposal of manufactured products. PLM integrates people, data, processes, and business systems and provides a product information backbone for companies and their extended enterprises. The inspiration for the burgeoning business process now known as PLM came from American Motors Corporation (AMC).
