Wizard of domes

Supporting the wizard: interface improvements in Wizard of Oz studies

Prototyping early in the design process is important for the development of high-quality software. Sketches and wireframes are effective artefacts that inform the design of applications based on Graphical User Interfaces. For applications using speech and Language Technologies (LTC) the Wizard of Oz method aims to fullfil this task. In order to support the demanding task of the wizard, however ...

A Tale of Two Domes

Encoding Fullerenes and Geodesic Domes

Coxeter’s classification of the highly symmetric geodesic domes (and, by duality, the highly symmetric fullerenes) is extended to a classification scheme for all geodesic domes and fullerenes. Each geodesic dome is characterized by its signature: a plane graph on twelve vertices with labeled angles and edges. In the case of the Coxeter geodesic domes, the plane graph is the icosahedron, all ang...

The ELRA License Wizard

To allow an easy understanding of the various licenses that exist for the use of Language Resources (ELRA’s, META-SHARE’s, Creative Commons’, etc.), ELRA has developed a License Wizard to help the right-holders share/distribute their resources under the appropriate license. It also aims to be exploited by users to better understand the legal obligations that apply in various licensing situation...

Zipper Unfoldability of Domes and Prismoids

We study Hamiltonian unfolding—cutting a convex polyhedron along a Hamiltonian path of edges to unfold it without overlap—of two classes of polyhedra. Such unfoldings could be implemented by a single zipper, so they are also known as zipper edge unfoldings. First we consider domes, which are simple convex polyhedra. We find a family of domes whose graphs are Hamiltonian, yet any Hamiltonian unf...
