Unifying Conceptual and Spatial Relationships between Objects in HCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
To design interfaces which occupy a continuous space of interaction, the conceptual model of an interface needs to be transferred to a spatial model. To find mappings between conceptual and spatial structure which are natural to people, an experiment is undertaken in which participants organize objects in a semi-circle of shelves around their body. It is analyzed how conceptual relationships between objects such as categorial relationships and sequential relationships within task performance are represented in spatial configurations of objects as chosen by the participants. In these configurations, a strong correlation between conceptual and spatial relationships is observed between objects.

Extending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...

Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
متن کاملFuzzy constraint satisfaction problem for model-based image interpretation
Scene interpretation guided by a generic model benefits from structural representations of objects and their spatial relationships. In this paper, we consider nested conceptual graphs for encoding objects and groups of objects, spatial relationships between objects or between groups of objects, along with the imprecision and uncertainty attached to the formal representations of such relationshi...
متن کاملReifying Model Integration Abilities from Natural Language
The paper is a study on natural language (NL) from the viewpoint of the conceptual model integration. The universality, unifying abilities, natural extensibility, logic and reusability of NL, as well as its morphological and syntactic stability, made the modelers think of transposing these features to object and process modeling. A correspondence is established here between the main concepts an...
متن کاملModeling Topological Constraints in Spatial Part-Whole Relationships
To facilitate development of spatial applications, we investigate the problem of modeling topological constraints in part-whole relationships between spatial objects, where the related objects may themselves be composite. An example would be countries that belong to a supranational organization, where the countries are themselves composed of states. Current topological classification schemes ar...
