ACES: Ruminations on Language Emu- lation Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receiving empathy and understanding is a constant need for those living with aphasia, an acquired language disorder that impairs expressive and receptive language (both spoken and written). With the introduction of ACES, a system that realistically emulates the effects of aphasia, we demonstrate how people can increase their empathy towards individuals aphasia, by experiencing the disorder firsthand. However, we believe that the true impact of our research on ACES goes beyond improving empathy for individuals with disorders. This paper outlines some of the directions we hope the HCI community will begin to explore by following the design of ACES and language emulation systems.

Model Based Architecting and Construction of Embedded Systems (ACES-MB 2010)
The third ACES-MB workshop brought together researchers and practitioners interested in model-based software engineering for realtime embedded systems, with a particular focus on the use of models for architecture description and domain-specific design, and for capturing non-functional constraints. Twelve presenters proposed contributions on metaheuristic search techniques for UML, modelling la...
متن کاملMulti-level Annotation of Speech: An Overview of The Emu Speech Database Management System
Researchers in various fields, from acoustic phonetics to child language development, rely on digitised collections of spoken language data as raw material for research. Access to this data has, in the past, been provided in an ad-hoc manner with labelling standards and software tools developed to serve only one or two projects. A few attempts have been made at providing generalised access to s...

An important challenge in software development is to have efficient tools for creating, debugging, and testing software components developed for specific business domains. This is more imperative if it is considered that a large number of users are not familiar with popular programming languages. Hence, Application Creation Environments (ACEs) based on specific Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) ...
