This paper summarizes a model of interaction for CVEs inspired by the process followed in human communication in the real world, detailing both the main elements and the communication process itself. The model proposed copies some properties of the real world communication but also allows the easy integration of Task Analysis to the design of CVEs, helping the developer in the design of the app...

In this paper, we describe a structured approach for user behavior recognition in an automatic prompting system that assists users with cognitive disabilities in the task of brushing their teeth. We analyze the brushing task using qualitative data analysis. The results are a hierarchical decomposition of the task and the identification of environmental configurations during subtasks. We develop...

In this paper we present our first participation at RepLab Campaign. Our work is focused in two contributions. The first one is the use of an IR method to address Polarity and Filtering tasks. These two tasks can be seen as the same problem: to find the most relevant class to annotate a given tweet. For that, we applied a classical IR approach, using the tweet content as query against an index ...

  Background: Human error is the most important cause of occupational and non-occupational accidents. Because, it seems necessary to identify, predict and analyze human errors, and also offer appropriate control strategies to reduce errors which cause adverse consequences, the present study was carried out with the aim of identifying human errors while operating meat grinder and offer sugg...

In this paper we present an algorithm for planning in nondeterministic domains. Our algorithm C-SHOP extends the successful classical HTN planner SHOP, by introducing new mechanisms to handle situations where there is incomplete and uncertain information about the state of the environment. Being an HTN planner, C-SHOP supports coding domain-dependent knowledge in a powerful way that describes h...

original article   introduction: human errors are of the most important issues due to the technological advances in various work settings. in medical professions, including nursing, investigation of human errors would help to find out approaches for the identification and reduction of these errors. hence, the present study aimed to identify and assess nurses' errors in emergency ward of an educ...
