In this paper we present SUPERHUB, a prototype, open platform for urban-mobility that integrates multimodal journey planning with captology influenced digital behaviour management in order to encourage increasingly sustainable travel behaviours. We build upon recent research in digital persuasion, mobile HCI, and findings from a user-centered design process to create a novel and sustainable urb...

In this work, we address the problem of online travel time prediction in the context of a bus journey. That is, a journey may be ongoing in the sense that journey events already indicated the progress of the bus on its route. For such an ongoing journey, we are interested in the current prediction of the traveling time from the current bus stop to some destination via a particular sequence of s...

ScriptEase is a visual tool that enables game designers to create complex interactive stories for computer role-playing games, without programming. In particular, ScriptEase automatically generates the scripting code for ambient and PC-interactive non-player character (NPC) behaviors from a set of behavior patterns. Without ScriptEase, a game designer would have to write scripting code manually...

This paper is a case study which describes a company’s Business Intelligence (BI) journey. Although Business Intelligence is seen as priority by many companies the level of benefits achieved varies significantly. Often this is dependent on the level of Business Intelligence maturity. This paper documents a company’s trials and tribulations with their BI implementations. The paper maps and discu...

The authors investigated differences in the processes underlying two types of metacomprehension judgments: judgments of difficulty and predictions of performance (JOD vs. POP). An experiment was conducted to assess whether these two types of judgments aligned with different types of processing cues, and whether their accuracy correlated with different factors such as sensitivity to processing e...

Intelligent non-player characters that exhibit realistic ambient behaviors produce more captivating and immersive stories for the player. However, the creation of nonrepetitive and entertaining behaviors is challenging, since it involves writing complex custom scripting code for thousands of characters in a common game adventure. This demonstration describes the generation of motivational behav...

The aim of this note is to give a proof of Tate’s theorems on homomorphisms of abelian varieties over finite fields [22, 8], using ideas of [26, 27]. We give a unified treatment for both l 6= p and l = p cases. In fact, we prove a slightly stronger version of those theorems with “finite coefficients”. I am grateful to Frans Oort and Bill Waterhouse for useful discussions. My special thanks go t...
