This paper considers the creation and consumption of content on user generated content (UGC) platforms, e.g., reviews, articles, chat, videos, etc. On these platforms, users’ expectations regarding the participation of others on the site become germane to their own involvement levels. Accordingly, we develop a dynamic rational expectations equilibrium model of joint consumption and generation o...

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) research is giving birth to a multitude of futuristic home scenarios and applications; however a clear discrepancy between current installations and research-level designs can be easily noticed. Whether this gap is due to the natural distance between research and engineered applications or to mismatching of needs and solutions remains to be understood. This paper disc...

Designing conversational user interface experience is complicated because conversation comes with many expectations. When these expectations are met, we feel the interface is natural, but once violated, we feel something is amiss. The last decade witnessed human language technologies and behaviours to enable humans converse with software using spoken dialogue to access, create and process infor...

Internet-based social and interactive video applications have become major constituents of the envisaged applications for next-generation multimedia networks. However, inherently dynamic network conditions, together with varying user expectations, pose many challenges for resource allocation mechanisms for such applications. Yet, in addition to addressing these challenges, service providers mus...

Augmented reality (AR) technologies are becoming state-of-the-art in the mobile technology domain. However, developing successful end user services around AR is still in its infancy, which is partially resulting from the lack of user research regarding potential users’ expectations and user acceptance in the particular area. In order to identify the most potential use cases and contexts, in whi...

The paper concerns the evaluation of Nao WikiTalk, an application that enables a Nao robot to serve as a spoken open-domain knowledge access system. With Nao WikiTalk the robot can talk about any topic the user is interested in, using Wikipedia as its knowledge source. The robot suggests some topics to start with, and the user shifts to related topics by speaking their names after the robot men...

Complex application domains like outdoor activity platforms demand a powerful search interface that can adapt to personal user preferences and to changing contexts like weather conditions. Today most platforms offer a search technology known as Faceted Search, also named Parametric Search, where a user iteratively adapts his/her search parameters by a tedious and time-consuming trial-and-error ...

this research aims to understand mother’s and girl’s expectations from their spouses, and shows the difference between these two generation’s expectations. along this, by using qualitative approach and deep semi-structured interview, we studied the expectations difference among 14 mothers and 14 girls resided at tehran city’s fifth region (area).results from the research showed that women’s exp...

In the emerging electronic environment, knowing how to create customercentered Web sites is of great importance. This paper reports two studies on user perceptions of Web sites. First, Kano’s model of quality was used in an exploratory investigation of customer quality expectations for a specific type of site (CNN.com). The quality model was then extended by treating broader site types/domains....

Archival services have a different place among information services. The main factors determining this are the nature of archival material, archive users and mission usage purposes archives. Besides it is very important to meet expectations services, as in all types In management process, difficult long term effort carried out before material put into use. process which reflected on user refere...
