Planning and Navigational Assistance for Distributed Events
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe our work on developing and evaluating systems for providing assistance to visitors of distributed events. The range of required assistance is very broad: providing the user with information about the available events, user-specific event recommendations, support for planning a good sequence of events and finally assisting the user on his tour, taking into account his context. The developed mobile application was evaluated by about 200 users during the Long Night of Music 2011. We gained valueable insights from the logged user-system interactions, which showed us the strengths and weaknesses of our design.

Resilience-Based Framework for Distributed Generation Planning in Distribution Networks
Events with low probability and high impact, which annually cause high damages, seriously threaten the health of the distribution networks. Hence, more attention to the issue of enhancing network resilience and continuity of power supply, feels more than ever, all over the world. In modern distribution networks, because of the increasing presence of distributed generation resources, an alternat...
متن کاملNavigating the World Wide Web
Navigation (colloquially known as “surfing”) is the activity of following links and browsing web pages. This is a time intensive activity engaging all web users seeking information. We often get “lost in hyperspace” when we lose the context in which we are browsing, giving rise to the infamous navigation problem. So, in this age of information overload we need navigational assistance to help us...
متن کاملThe Role of Planning and Memory in the Navigational Ability
Navigational ability requires spatial representation, planning, and memory. It covers three interdependent domains, i.e. cognitive and perceptual factors, neural information processing, and variability in brain microstructure. Many attempts have been made to see the role of spatial representation in the navigational ability, and the individual differences have been identified in the neural subs...
متن کاملFrames of Reference, Positional Information and Navigational Assistance
We present an analysis of different types of frames of reference and what they are needed for in a setting of a system providing navigational assistance. Since the position of a user of such a system is a main factor in the establishment of different frames of reference, we review different technologies for measuring positional information, and present a qualitative classification for this info...
متن کاملCombining Navigational Planning and Reactive Control
Traditional AI methods for navigational planning use qualitative spatial representations and reasoning. Traditional robotics techniques for this task are based on numerical representations and reasoning. Recent work on robotics posits mechanisms for reactive control that directly map perceptions of the world to actions on it. This in turn has given rise to hybrid robot architectures that combin...
