There are two competing schools of thought about what considerations should be used to determine if an interaction design is successful. The first, an analytical perspective, is related to usability engineering. The second, an aesthetic perspective, is related to visual design. While in agreement about some attributes of successful interaction design, they disagree on what aspects are most impo...

This paper examines, gathers, and reviews global knowledge about selection rules for choosing interaction objects. This analysis allows to define: (i) the premisses of selection rules in terms of attributes from an object-oriented data model, (ii) the conclusions in terms of abstract interaction objects from an object-oriented model, and (iii) a generalized definition of selection rules. It fin...

This paper surveys and critically examines the literature dealing with selection rules for interaction objects. This analysis permits the definition of: i. the premises of selection rules in terms of attributes from an object-oriented data model; ii. the conclusions in terms of abstract interaction objects from an object-oriented model; and iii. a generalized definition of selection rules. Fina...

some physical attributes of two common types of iranian garlic cloves (white and pink) were identified and compared. a machine vision system was used to determine three di-mensions and both major and minor projected areas of garlic cloves at a moisture content of 42.4% w. b. the geometric mean diameter and sphericity were calculated, as well as the unit mass and volume of cloves were measured. ...

With the advent of software agents and assistants, the concept of so called conversational user interfaces evolved, incorporating natural language interaction, dialogue management, and anthropomorphic representations. Today's challenge is to build a suitable visualization architecture for anthropomorphic conversational user interfaces, and to design believable and appropriate face-to-face inter...

Stereoelectronic effects modulate molecular structure, reactivity, and conformation. We find that the interaction between the ester and carboxyl moieties of aspirin has a previously unappreciated quantum mechanical character that arises from the delocalization of an electron pair (n) of a donor group into the antibonding orbital (π*) of an acceptor group. This interaction affects the physicoche...

With the introduction of software agents and assistants, the concept of so-called social user interfaces evolved, incorporating natural language interaction, context awareness and anthropomorphic representations of visuals, scales, and degrees of freedom for interactions. Today’s challenge is to build a suitable visualization architecture for anthropomorphic conversational user interfaces, and ...
