This empirical study investigates the participation intentions in P2P shared mobility accounting for different statuses people may adopt: provider and/or user.

A cooperative response model is proposed for interactive intelligent systems that recognizes user intentions and makes cooperative responses. Though many models developed so far have shown that they can achieve some form of cooperative responses, the coverage of each model is limited. In this paper, we propose a model which covers various types of cooperative responses. The paper starts with a ...

Identifying intentions of users plays a crucial role in providing better user services, such as web-search and automated message-handling. There is a significant literature on extracting speakers’ intentions and speech acts from spoken words, and this paper proposes a novel approach on extracting intentions from non-spoken words, such as web-search query texts, and text messages. Unlike spoken ...

We introduce a novel approach for robust belief tracking of user intention within a spoken dialog system. The space of user intentions is modeled by a probabilistic extension of the underlying domain ontology called a probabilistic ontology tree (POT). POTs embody a principled approach to leverage the dependencies among domain concepts and incorporate corroborating or conflicting dialog observa...

Open-source software systems have become a viable alternative to proprietary systems. We collected data on the usage of an open-source workflow management system developed by a university research group, and examined this data with a focus on how three different user cohorts – students, academics and industry professionals – develop behavioral intentions to use the system. Building upon a frame...

This paper examines the perceptions and attitudes that Egyptian users hold towards electronic shopping sites. Internet sites are globally available, opening up huge potential markets for online retailers. However, it remains unclear whether sites designed for the US or European markets will be acceptable in other cultures. This paper describes an exploratory card sorting study conducted with Eg...

METHODS A national online survey of 2204 Australian consumers administered in November 201...
