This is somewhat surprising given the potential of such approaches to shed light on the spatial characteristics associate...

A cross-product statistic is used to demonstrate that spatial interaction models are a special case of a general model of spatial autocorrelation. A series of traditional measures of spatial autocorrelation is shown to have a cross-product form. Several interaction models are shown to have a similar form. A general spatial statistic is developed which indicates that the relationship between the...

In recent years we have seen a growing interest in exploring spatial interaction as a means of interacting with computer systems through what has been labelled “proxemic interaction”. In order to explore the potentials and challenges of spatial interaction spanning across separate physical locations, we have developed a multi-room music system and performed a field evaluation of use. The system...

This paper presents a quantitative description of the lexical items used for linguistic feedback in the Corpus of Interactional Data (CID). The paper includes the raw figures for feedback lexical item as well as more detailed figures concerning interindividual variability. This effort is a first step before a broader analysis including more discourse situations and featuring communicative funct...

One of the most common features across all known languages is their variability in word order. We show that differences in the prenominal and postnominal placement of adjectives in the noun phrase across five main Romance languages is not only subject to heaviness effects, as previously reported, but also to subtler structural interactions among dependencies that are better explained as effects...

It is well known that the evolution of cooperative behaviour is dependant upon certain environmental conditions. One such condition that has been extensively studied is the use of a spatially structured population, whereby cooperation is favoured by a reduced number of interactions between cooperators and selfish cheaters. However, models that address the role of spatial structure typically use...
