Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy In the chapter, the author makes a first description of a set of topics that have been interrelated for a long time among themselves but have acquired special attention in the context of the scientific research of the new millennium. The author resorts to a set of techniques of the social sciences (rhetoric) to decipher some of the main problems through which these interrelations are going in the South of Europe, for instance, education and work imposed by a perennial parochialism, showing some solutions that may constitute future lines of research. Chapter 2 A Practical Setup for Projection-Based Augmented Maps ..................................................................13 Filippo Bergamasco, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Fosear i di Venezia, Italy Andrea Albarelli, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Fosear i di Venezia, Italy Andrea Torsello, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Fosear i di Venezia, Italy In the chapter, the authors introduce a novel projected augmented reality setup where the user can ex¬ plore geographically located information by moving a passive physical inspection tool over a printed map. A simple yet effective calibration procedure has been developed to let the system locate and project images on the tool simulating an active tablet-like device. After a detailed explanation of the inner working of the system, they show an example application in which a high resolution aerial view of Venice is superimposed to an old lithography of the same area through the inspection tool that acts like a simulated magnifying glass. Chapter 3 A Study on Emotion Releasing Effect with Music and Color .............................................................23 Chih-Fang Huang, Department ofinformation Communications, Kainan University, Taiwan Chih-Hsiang Liang, Department ofinformation Communication, Yuan Ze University, Taiwan En-Ju Lin, Department of Musicology, Heidelberg University, Germany The chapter presents an innovative way for the music emotion model to introduce the possible emotional response during music listening, including music structure, listener s background, and surroundings. The related research for human physical and psychological influence by the automatically generated electronic sound will be discussed with the emotion releasing effect of music. Various emotional re¬ sponses derived by various colors are applied to the music emotion model to break the limitation of the existing music forms and to develop the possible music color synesthesia applied to all aspects. Two experiments of color and music emotion synesthesia for both musicians and non-musicians showed a consistent result that the music and color integrated system can reinforce the releasing emotion with the proposed synesthesia system, regardless of the musical background of the listeners. Chapter 4 An Algorithm for Occlusion-Free Texture Mapping from Oriented Images .......................................32 Mattia Previtali, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Marco Scaioni, Tongji University - College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Center for Spatial Information Science and Sustainable Development Applicatoins, Shanghai, PR. China Luigi Barazzetti, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Raffaella Brumana, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Daniela Oreni, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy In the chapter, the authors present a new methodology able to reconstruct the original texture of 3D objects to obtain a photorealist visualization. A series of geometric and radiometrie problems are taken into account. In particular, possible self-occlusions are considered in order to prevent wrong mapping situations. In case the object is textured using different images, the transition between an image to an¬ other one should be sufficiently smooth in order to prevent a sharp color change due to a difference in both color and brightness. The final aim is the creation of realistic, detailed, and accurate models with a correct correspondence between the geometric part and its visual appearance: the final model must represent the material and its real color. Chapter 5 Anti-Models for Universitary Education: Analysis of the Catalans Cases in Information and Communication Technologies ...............................................................................................................43 Francisco V. Cipolla- F icarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Valeria M. Ficarra, ALAIPO-AINCI, Spain and Italy The authors highlight the conformation and functional maintenance of educational antimodels in the field of computer science and multimedia. The current work presents a table of heuristic evaluation under the acronym EEE: Evaluation of the Excellence in Education, that is, detecting the failings in the alleged education of university excellence. It has been developed through a many years experience in the Catalan universities with some extensions in the Lombardy system. Chapter 6 Application of Verification Techniques to Security: Model Checking Insider Attacks ........................61 Florian Kammüller, DTU Copenhagen, Denmark Christian W. Probst, Middlesex University, UK Franco Raimondi, Middlesex University, UK The authors examined one of the aspects of great interest for the support of security of real-world sys¬ tems with mechanized verification techniques, for example, model checking. An interesting summed-up state of the art has been included by the authors. There is also an interesting bibliography, which may be looked at by those interested in broadening the concepts that the authors present in the research work. Chapter 7 Banking Online: Design for aNew Credibility ....................................................................................71 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO — AINCI, Spain and Italy Jaqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada In the research, the authors analyze the loss of credibility of online banking information. They indicate the financial risks for the consumer of banking services through the bogus or non-veridical contents of online publicity. In this sense, the first results of an evaluation of European bank Websites highlighting the main failings in the usability and communicability ofsaid Websites are presented. Chapter 8 Building Recommendation Service with Social Networks and Semantic Databases ..........................83 Sašo Karakatič, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Vili Podgorelec, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Marjan Heričko, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the work, the authors research the integration of social networks and semantic databases. The work consists of an overview of popular social networks with API and looks into one of the popular semantic Internet databases, Freebase. The authors describe in detail how a working hybrid recommendation ser¬ vice can be built with the integration of the popular Facebook social network and previously mentioned semantic database. The main focus of the detailed description is on the machine learning algorithm based on the k nearest neighbors classification algorithm. The authors give detailed information of how the algorithm is used to find the recommendation for specific users based on the users preferences. Finally, the service that recommends movies, music, literature, and games is presented. Chapter 9 Cloud-Assisted Services for Mobile Applications: CLASS-MA ..........................................................93 Domen Verber, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the chapter, the author discusses mobile applications that are assisted with services provided by the Cloud. This combines the two most pervasive topics within information technology today: Cloud com¬ puting and mobile computing. The chapter describes the challenges and opportunities offered by these technologies and the issues arising during their implementation. Some representative Cloud services for mobile applications are offered as part of an on-going CLASS research project. Chapter 10 Context-Aware Mobile System for Public Bus Transportation .........................................................102 Mitja Krajne, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Vili Podgorelec, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Marjan Heričko, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the chapter, the authors present a convergence of smartphones and context data into a smart mobile application for the public bus transportation. Their goal was to enhance user experience through adapta¬ tion of information shown to the user. Contextual awareness was identified as a suitable basis for such adaptation. Furthermore, they have identified constraints for mobile applications, and in order to over¬ come them, they have designed a system where smartphones are used only to present information and collect context data. All data processing is executed remotely on a Web server. The completed mobile system collects the user s location, identity, and current time. Together with his history, the goal of the system is to predict the appropriate bus lane and identify the closest bus station. Chapter 11 Educational Social Networks as a Means for Better Social Cohesion in Education .........................112 Vili Podgorelec, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Maša Dobrina, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the chapter, the authors study and analyze the contribution of social networks to the enhanced sense of community in educational environments. In their work, the authors discuss if social networks are ef¬ fective in decreasing social and psychological distance in (online) education and in contributing to the benefits of social cohesion in education. Their research focused on how social relations in the classroom are portrayed on the Internet in social networks and how it affects success in education. In this regard, a study has been performed in which the survey data from 151 university students has been thoroughly analyzed and the results and conclusions are presented in a detailed way. Chapter 12 Semantic Web Services-Based Knowledge Management Framework ..............................................121 Vili Podgorelec, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Bostjan Grašič, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the chapter, the authors study the possibilities, strengths, and weaknesses of new information tech¬ nologies, especially Semantic Web technologies, for enabling holistic knowledge management in orga¬ nizations. By analyzing modern information systems, the authors have found a gap between technology and needs that arise in organizations and argue that knowledge, not IT, provides competitive advantage for organizations, while the role of IT should be to help to identify opportunities, follow, and support changes. In this manner, the authors provide a knowledge management framework, based on Semantic Web technologies and service-oriented architecture, for holistic knowledge management and integra¬ tion with modern IT architecture that enables business agility. As the framework is based on accepted industry standards, there is a good support for underlying infrastructure technologies. Chapter 13 Universality and Communicability in Computer Animation .............................................................131 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Miguel Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO ~ AINCI, Spain and Italy The evaluation of the content and the realism of computer graphics, video, audio, etc., in the 2D and 3D computer animations is the main issue of the chapter. Its authors examine a universe of study aimed at the infantile and/or adult audience. The obtained results serve to stress the positive and negative ele¬ ments when those audiovisual productions are aimed at the infantile and/or adult public, as it can be seen in the learned lessons section and the conclusion. Those results may serve as a guide to the designers of 2D and 3D animations, irrespective of the age of the targeted audience of those computer-animated contents, whether in the classical or current interactive multimedia systems. Chapter 14 Learning by Means of an Interactive Multimodal Environment .......................................................143 Serena Zanolla, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Udine, Italy Sergio Canazza, Department ofinformation Engineering, University of Padova, Italy Antonio Roda, Department ofinformation Engineering, University of Padova, Italy Gian Luca Foresti, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Udine, Italy The Stanza Logo- Motoria (SLM), a technological system used in real educational contexts in order to teach pupils by implementing a multimodal and interactive learning experience, is presented. In particu¬ lar, by means of the SLM, it is possible to actualize an Interactive Multimodal Environment in which whatever happens depends on the learner s actions. The SLM takes a broad empty space and, using video tracking techniques, fills the environment with sound events and images; the user s presence inside the interactive space triggers the playback of the audio/visual content. The authors also describe in detail Resonant Memory, the first application for the Stanza Logo-Motoria, and the positive partial results of a preliminary study, which was conducted using the system as a listening tool in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Chapter 15 Learning Computer Vision through the Development of a Camera-Trackable Game Controller .....154 Andrea Albarelli, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Fosear i di Venezia, Italy Filippo Bergamasco, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Foscari di Venezia, Italy Andrea Torsello, Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Informatica e Statistica, Università Ca Foscari di Venezia, Italy The authors explore how some basic computer vision concepts can be effectively taught to prospective students who have little or no previous background in programming and strongly diversified knowledge with respect to mathematics. In the chapter, a detailed description of the setup for the laboratory lecture is presented along with the outline of the lessons that gently guides the students to the development of a vision-based game controller similar to the interfaces currently adopted in modern game consoles. Chapter 16 Multi-Photo Fusion through Projective Geometry ............................................................................164 Luigi Barazzetti, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy In the chapter, the author illustrates the contribution of projective geometry and automated matching techniques to several photographic applications: high dynamic range, multi-focus, and panoramic pho¬ tography. Although very different, the processing algorithm relies on a similar workflow, where a set of projective transformations is used to align different images. All these products can be created in an almost fully automated way, allowing expert operators or normal tourists to overcome some drawbacks of single shots. After a brief review of the most common 2D transformations, it will be demonstrated that a homography can be successfully used to register images and create HDR, multi-focus, and pan¬ oramic images. Chapter 17 Special Educational Needs Workshop Online: Play Activity - Homework in the Jungle ..................174 Danny Barrantes, University Teaching Department, University of Costa Rica, Costa Rica Maur izia D Antoni, University Teaching Department, University of Costa Rica, Costa Rica In the chapter, the authors discuss different perspectives around inclusion and accessibility in higher education through the analysis of a conducted strategy at the University Teaching Department, University of Costa Rica. The chosen case portrays a set of actions, goals, and measures necessary to overcome challenges in a given learning context. Furthermore, one of the elements implemented — a game activ¬ ity — is taken up to understand the relevance that falls between any didactical domain in its connection with the pedagogical sphere at universities. In this chapter, the authors claim there are decisive elements in play at such structures, every time we aim for meaningful learning within large groups of individuals. Chapter 18 Using Emotion Map System to Implement the Generative Chinese Style Music with Wu Xing Theory ................................................................................................................................183 Chih-Fang Huang, Department ofinformation Communications, Kainan University, Taiwan En-Ju Lin, Department of Musicology, Heidelberg University, Germany The chapter presents a Music Emotion Classification (MEC) method referring to the music cognition of mind with the categorized emotion result mapping music parameters. The synthesized meta-level algorithmic music based on the analysis result from the previous research, with the proposed Emotion Map System (EMS) mapped into the innovated Wu Xing Emotion Map System (WXEMS) indicates the emotion situation based on the X-Y coordinate movement in the WXEMS plane. The MEC result shown in the EMS/WXEMS trajectory controls the algorithmic music variation with the proposed map¬ ping rules, and the generative music will vary smoothly according to the correspondent WXEMS data changed with any emotion transition. The methodology of the WXEMS for the generative music can be applied to automated background music for game and multimedia. Chapter 19 Prediction of Change-Prone Classes Using Machine Learning and Statistical Techniques ..............193 LinRuchika Malhotra, Deptament of Software Engineering, Delhi Technological University, India Ankita Jain Bansal, Deptament of Software Engineering, Delhi Technological University, India The authors work on predicting the quality attribute (change proneness) in the early phases of the soft¬ ware development life cycle. This would lead to efficient and effective utilization of resources (time, money, and manpower). Besides this, developers get an insight about the design of the software by cor¬ rectly predicting the change-prone classes. The authors have worked on two versions of an open source software, Frinika (a complete music workstation software). The classes, which are common to both the versions, are extracted and analyzed. Various object-oriented metrics are calculated for these common classes, and their relationship with change proneness has been determined. Then, using the significant metrics, various machine learning and statistical models are constructed to predict change proneness. The study shows that the machine-learning methods are more efficient than regression techniques. Among the machine-learning methods, boosting technique (i.e., Logitboost) outperformed all the other models.

Chapter 26 Art, Future, and New Technologies: Research or Business? ..............................................................280 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Valeria M. Ficarra, ALAIPO-AINCI, Spain and Italy Through an evaluation technique called CASTE (Computer Art, Software, and Technology Evaluation), the authors show how the human factors not only contaminate scientific knowledge in the universities and research centres of the Iberian Peninsula but also the neutral diffusion of said knowledge. The work investigates the resources used through the social communication media online, for instance, for the international expansion of computer art and the new technologies used for its realization through the opacity of the online contents. A set of rhetoric questions make up the base of the obtained results. Chapter 27 Reality-Based 3D Modelling from Images and Laser Scans: Combining Accuracy and Automation ...................................................................................................................................294 Luigi Barazzetti, Department of Building Environmental Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Marco Scaioni, Tong/i University - College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Center for Spatial Information Science and Sustainable Development Applicatoins, Shanghai, PR China In the chapter, the authors illustrate modern instruments and techniques for 3D modeling of complex objects. Different examples and real case studies are taken into consideration, starting from cultural heritage documentation and preservation up to architectural, geological, and structural applications. Several instruments (total station, GNSS, cameras, and laser scanners) and procedures for data integra¬ tion, orientation, and registration are discussed along with the achievable information and its intrinsic accuracy. The aim of this work was to prove how the combined use of photogrammetric and computer vision techniques coupled with modern sensors for data acquisition and algorithms for data processing is a powerful tool to obtain accurate, detailed, reliable, precise, and complete 3D reconstructions. Chapter 28 Differences between Role of Strong Ties and Weak Ties in Information Diffusion on Social Network Sites .....................................................................................................................................307 Sanaz Kavianpour, Advanced Informatics School, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Zuraini Ismail, Advanced Informatics School, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Bharanidharan Shanmugam, Advanced Informatics School, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The authors present information propagation through social network sites and describe the factors that have a significant role in information diffusion. The results illustrate that among all the significant fac¬ tors, users play an important role in information diffusion; in addition, their controlling from different aspects like the number and the strength can be used in order to manage the received information to rebroadcast or block it. Then a comparison of the number, influence, and the probability ofinformation dissemination by strong ties and weak ties is made in order to compare the role of ties in spreading information and evaluating the strength of ties. The comparison results show that although strong ties have an important role, the likelihood ofinformation diffusion by weak ties is higher. Chapter 29 Degree of Similarity of Web Applications .........................................................................................312 Doru Anastasiu Popescu, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Piteşti, Romania Dragos Nicolae, National College Radu Greceanu - Slatina, Romania In the chapter, the authors present a method of measuring the similarity between two Web applications. The Web applications used in this chapter use HTML constructive elements. This method is based on a new formula for determining similarity of Web pages relative to a Web application, and it does not take into account a number of fixed tags, a TG set. After introducing the basic concepts necessary to calculate the similarity between two Web pages, there is an example and an algorithm together with some results obtained by its implementation in Java. TG sets used to test the program written in Java are increasingly larger in order to view their importance in measuring the similarity of two Web applications built using HTML tags. Chapter 30 Museum Information and Commun icability Evaluation ...................................................................319 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Alejandra Quiroga, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina Jim Carré, University of The Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada Miguel Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy The authors of the chapter show the results of a diachronic analysis of the interactive design of the off¬ line multimedia systems (commercial and with international distribution), from 1990 until 2012, whose contents are related to European museums. They present a methodology called abc for the presentation of the interactive information related to cultural heritage, such as painting and sculpture. In the current research work and through linguistics and semiotics aimed at the main notions of the hypertext, the multimedia and hypermedia establishes a escamotage to speed up the evaluation tasks with regard to the different categories that make up the interactive design. Chapter 31 Rough Set Analysis and Short-Medium Term Tourist Services Demand Forecasting ......................341 Emilio Celotto, Department of Management, Ca Foscari University of Venice, Italy Andrea Ellero, Department of Management, Ca Foscari University of Venice, Italy Paola Ferretti, Department of Economics andSSE, Ca Foscari University of Venice, Italy The authors apply Rough Sets Theory to analyze Italian tourist behaviour. The study uses a set of statistical surveys on households, life conditions, incomes, consumptions, travels, and holidays. Data, which are provided by GfK Eurisko, concern social, cultural, and behavioural trends in Italy. Interesting relations, in terms of decision rules, between consumer behaviours and tourism consumption are detected. For example, they find that people who read books, go to the cinema, or have other cultural interests most likely also go on vacation. This kind ofinformation could then be used, as the authors claim, in order to find some sentry variables for tourism consumption. Chapter 32 The Promotion of European Tourism in the Emerging Countries: Pyramidal Marketing ..................350 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Alejandra Quiroga, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina Valeria M. Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy The authors present a set of strategies of the European pyramidal marketing to appeal to potential tourists from emerging countries through the use of commercial software such as the presentations made with PowerPoint. The universe of study, the results obtained with different types of users, and the lessons learned have served to elaborate the conclusions, where the interrelation of the widely diffused soft¬ ware among the users of the emerging countries with the human and social factors from the Old World is made apparent, that is, European users who use the electronic mail to promote tourism, through the pyramid system. Chapter 33 Cozinha da Madeira : A Sustainable Tourism Service Concept for Madeira Island ........................364 Valentina Nisi, Madeira-ITI, University of Madeira - Funchal, Portugal Nuno Nunes, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Kanarak Isarankura, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Jodi Forlizzi, Madeira-ITI, University of Madeira - Funchal, Portugal The chapter shows how we can leverage tourism, cultural and natural heritage, etc. in order to promote sustainable services and experiences. Through a collection of examples, a perfect amalgam between new technologies and avant-garde perspectives can be seen in order to approach complex issues such as international tourism on European island. Chapter 34 Story Objects: An Interactive Installation to Excavate Immigrant History and Identity through Evocative Everyday Objects ...............................................................................................................377 Andreas Krátky, Institute for Multimedia Literacy, University of Southern California, USA Daphne Ho, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California, USA The authors present a method of using computer-based interactive media to foster the intergenerational communication in immigrant families. The authors characterize the reasons and effects of the commu¬ nication problems for the acculturation process and the chances of immigrants to integrate into a new cultural setting. They devise an installation joining psychological factors, storytelling, and a tangible interface linking familiar food objects through RFID technology to a computer system. The text explains the conceptual considerations and the design process of the installation explaining how it was targeted to be relevant for different immigrant groups. The system was exhibited and tested with a diverse im¬ migrant audience to obtain first results on its effectiveness. Chapter 35 Teaching Human-Computer Interaction in the Capital of Culture ....................................................388 Damjan Obal, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia Domen Verber, Institute of Informatics (FERI), University of Maribor, Slovenia In the chapter, the authors illustrate the process of teaching HCI to Media Communication students at the University of Maribor in Slovenia. They describe how they modified the Double Diamond design process and combined it with their own EPUI (Explore-Participate-Understand-Integrate) methodology for integrating all key stakeholders in the design process. Chapter 36 Design and Behaviour Computer Animation for Children ................................................................401 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts — Vancouver, Canada Jim Carré, University of The Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao Miguel Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy The authors present a set of experiments carried out to establish the basic criteria of the high quality inside computer graphics and the behaviour computer animation. The conformation of the universe of study is related to the child audience with didactical purposes. The authors explain in detail the stages of the evaluative process since the selections of the computer-made 3D animations aimed at the traditional audiovisual communication until the obtained results. This process examines the main elements of the triad design, communicability, and pedagogy. Chapter 37 Generic Textile Structure Editor ........................................................................................................413 Georges Győry, Birkbeck, University of London, UK The author describes the SAWU104 textile editor (freeware, downloadable from CNET). This can be used to document non-rectilinear textiles like lace, sprang, netting, tricot, etc. or for knot diagrams. It can visualise the underlying structure of the textiles (as opposed to photographic images showing one face of it). Its original use is to document efficiently museum pieces and show the techniques applied in their construction, allowing a weaver to reproduce them. This chapter describes its (linked) data structure, graphical user interface, set of operators, and gives some non-trivial examples of use. Chapter 38 Bi-Manual 3D Painting: An Interaction Paradigm for Augmented Reality Live Performance ..........423 Alexis Clay, ESTIA, Bidart, France Jean-Christophe Lombardo, INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France Nadine Couture, LaBRI/ESTIA, Bidart, France Julien Conan, ESTIA, Bidart, France The authors explore how manual interactions could be achieved in a CAVE. ISIVR is the 3D engine being developed at INRIA (Sophia Antipolis, France), which focuses on augmented reality and device implementation. It provides a cluster, position tracking, and multi-display. In a second part, they develop a mobile prototype composed of M VN motion capture suit and 5DT Datagloves at ESTIA (Bidart, France). It can track the whole skeleton of a professional dancer on stage and display visual augmentations to a large audience at the same time. Both prototypes are being used to explore manual interactions and improve user interactions with virtual matter. Chapter 39 Towards a Cyber-Destructors Assessment Method ...........................................................................431 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Alejandra Quiroga, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada The authors present the modus operandi of cyberdestructors. The method of analysis is the result of the intersection of formal and factual sciences, which allow the attacks to be detected online through the social networks by pressure groups although they act in an anonymous and individual way. The study presents the confirmation of the attacks groups and the psychological/psychiatric profile of their mem¬ bers and the Internet resources they use to carry out their destructive actions. Finally, the first patterns of behavior and negative values detected among the cyberdestroyers are summed up. Chapter 40 (Re)Engineering Cultural Heritage Contexts using Creative Human Computer Interaction Techniques and Mixed Reality Methodologies ..................................................................................441 Carl Smith, Learning Technology Research Institute, London Metropolitan University, UK The author presents the current state of location-based technology including Mobile Augmented Real¬ ity (MAR) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The focus will be on its application for use within cultural heritage as an educational and outreach tool. A wide range of examples allows one to quickly confront the uses of these Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The conclusions are a series of future lines of research, which open new fields of research for all those interested in the issues. Chapter 41 Knowledge and Background of the Multimedia Culture: A Study of the Spatio-Temporal Context in Claymation and Computer Animation for Children and Adults ........................................452 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Miguel Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO-AINCI, Spain and Italy Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada The authors present the importance of multimedia culture, developed by the users of the interactive sys¬ tems, across time, with the goal of increasing the quality of the contents in mobile multimedia phones. The study made and the results reached allow one to see the existence of common areas, in the union of the users of the interactive systems, irrespective of their age and the experience accumulated in the use of computers. The chapter presents a comparative work between digital animation (2D and 3D) and analog (claymation). Chapter 42 E-Culture System : A New Infonomic and Symbionomic Technical Resource to Serve the Intercultural Communication ..............................................................................................................466 María Mercedes Clusella, Galileo Galilei, Argentine Foundation for Talent and Ingenuity, Argentina María Gabriela Mitre, Galileo Galilei, Argentine Foundation for Talent and Ingenuity, Argentina The authors present the results obtained within the framework of the research project that consists of the design of a basic model from an e-culture system that can promote and disseminate world cultures. Culture as a complex phenomenon is studied from the Systemic Paradigm, which is optimized by the transdisciplinary features that allows the concurrence of other complementary perspectives. The methodic process consists of the systemic modelling process and the retroprospective methodology that involves the use of models and scenarios. Through analogy simulation, using the technique of syntegration for the processing of empirical evidence, the validation of an operative model is presented. The results confirm the selected features of a local culture and generate a more general and comprehensive model, which could be of value to other cultures. Chapter 43 Human Factors in Computer Science, New Technologies, and Scientific Information .....................480 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada Jim Carré, University of The Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao Scientific knowledge derived from the field of ICTs, such as marketing, is the central topic of the chapter. Its authors make known the main human factors that increase the digital divide and university parochial¬ ism. Through the rhetoric, it can be seen how the scientific knowledge stemming from the context of the ICTs are not neutral. The chapter presents a set of real examples online where that scientific-technologic knowledge is treated like a marketing object, mainly in the field of the scientific publications. Lastly, the authors indicate the need to establish a new language style to tackle the negative human factors in the era of the expansion of communication. Chapter 44 Communication Technologies for Older Adults in Retirement Communities ...................................491 Lauren Bowers, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Claudia B. Rebola, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Patricio Vela, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA The authors present the research, development, and findings of a communication technology developed to enable older adults living in retirement communities to share public events. The project draws refer¬ ence from the fields of industrial design, universal design, and computer science to design a technology for residents at a retirement community. Residents were included in the design process by evaluating designed technologies. Their project demonstrates the relevance of designing simple yet innovative technologies that meet the needs of older adults. Chapter 45 Home Automation by Brain-Computer Interface ..............................................................................502 Eduardo G. Nieva, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina María F. Peralta, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina Diego A. Beltramone, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina The authors present a different way to combine two big technologies that give a great opportunity to handicapped people. They discuss the increase of handicapped people and show a solution to this problem. In this prototype, the authors developed a software that interprets the signals given by the Mindwave sensor, and through an Arduino board, it communicates with a computer with a hardware prototype. They have accomplished the first objectives successfully and plan to do some clinical trials and a friendly interface in the software. Chapter 46 The Excellence of the Video Games: Past and Present .......................................................................511 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy The author presents a detailed study of video games evolution. A group of examples allows one to have a 360° vision of the subjects presented, for intance, software, multimedia interactive systems, interface, communicability, etc. The author also makes an interesting and detailed diachronic analysis about edutain¬ ment and the SimCity video game. The conclusions and implications of the developed work allow us to point out new roads for future investigations in the context of graphic design applied to video games. Chapter 47 Using Genetic Algorithm for Scheduling Tasks of Computational Grids in the Gridsim Simulator ..............................................................................................................................521 João Phellipe, Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), Brazil Carla Katarina, Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), Brazil Francisco das Chagas, Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Àrido (UFERSA), Brazil Dario Aloise, Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Àrido (UFERSA), Brazil The authors present a solution to the problem of task scheduling based on genetic algorithms to distribute tasks more efficiently on a computational grid. This algorithm was implemented in GridSim, a simulated grid computing with features and attributes of a real grid. Problems in the nature of task allocation, evo¬ lutionary algorithms, in general, have been shown to be more efficient, with the best solutions achieved in a more timely manner than the exact algorithms. Chapter 48 Web Divide and Paper Unite: Towards a Model of the Local Tourist Information for All ................536 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Miguel Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Jacqueline Alma, Electronic Arts - Vancouver, Canada Alejandra Quiroga, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina The authors present the first results of joining criteria and quality attributes that must have the information systems related to local tourism, irrespective of the digital support being interactive or analog. The work includes two decades of compilation of touristic information between Europe and America, in analog and digital support. The results with multimedia users are also presented, analyzing the quality attributes, orientation, and accessibility. In them, two categories of design have been considered: presentation and content. In the learned lessons, the research lines aimed at the touristic promotion and the conclusions may serve as foundation for future works related to the presented topic. Chapter 49 Generic Model of a Multi- Agent System to Assist Ubiquitous Learning ..........................................544 Elena B. Duran, Departamento de Informatica, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnologías, Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Argentina Margarita M. Alvarez, Departamento de Informática, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnologías, Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Argentina Silvina I. Únzaga, Departamento de Informática, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnologías, Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Argentina The authors present the importance of software agent and ontology technologies in ubiquitous learning systems in the context of Web engineering. A review of works about ontology and agent technology applied in ubiquitous learning is given. After that, model-based development approach is presented and the generic model of an application to support ubiquitous learning obtained with this approach is shown in detail. The authors also find the ontology model for the multi-agent system with the description of all ontologies and the description of the multi-agent system architecture. Finally, the main advantages of the proposed generic model are cited. Chapter 50 MLW and Bilingualism: Case Study and Critical Evaluation ............................................................555 Daniela López De Luise, CIIS Lab - Buenos Aires, Argentina Débora Hisgen, CIIS Lab - Buenos Aires, Argentina Language has been studied for many years and for many reasons. Understanding the inner process and its long-term consequences is very hard. From the computational linguistic point of view, most of the approaches include processes to help automatically manage textual information for different purposes. This chapter comes from an alternate perspective: to get deep insight into the linguistic reasoning. Understanding this process enables computers to replicate sentence generation by native speakers with good approximation. As a consequence, it allows other disciplines to analyze closely related phenomena, for instance autism verbal behavior, bilingualism effects, culture influence in language usage, etc. The theory presented in this chapter depicts a step-by-step recipe for building a model, using a processing inspired by traditional wavelets concepts. Chapter 51 Revision of the Groupware Users Interface Development Methods .................................................587 Mabel del V. Sosa, Departamento de Informática, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnologías, Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Argentina The inherent complexity of the groupware systems entails a great effort in design and development, due to its multidisciplinary measure and its technical complexity. The interface of the user of a groupware constitutes a key element for usability, tending to improve the quality of the group work in coordination, communication, collaboration, etc. From different fields of computer science (human-computer interac¬ tion, computer supported cooperative work, user centered design, and software engineering), others have proposed methodologies, models of processing, and tools that facilitate and improve different aspects involved in the development of the user interface for cooperative environments. However, the analyzed proposals have not succeeded in totally covering the development process of a groupware system where interactive aspects are integrated with the cooperatives both in the interface and in the application itself. In this work, the authors analyzes the methodological proposals to different development issues, trying to detect the strengths and weaknesses of each and identify the relevant aspects which have not been tackled yet in any of the fields dedicated to the interface development of the user of this kind of system. Chapter 52 Web Attacks and the ASCII Files .......................................................................................................595 Francisco V. Cipolla-Ficarra, ALAIPO - AINCI, Spain and Italy Alejandra Quiroga, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina Jim Carré, University of The Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao This chapter is a continuation of other works that make apparent attacks online tending to the destruction of multidisciplinary teamwork, international events, etc. in southern Europe. The human factors that are enumerated in the chapter refer to veridical situations, where the use of simple ASCII files may cause irreparable damage due to the legal immunity of their authors. The goal of the current work is to detect the interrelations existing between university education and its commerce.
