ICICLE1 (intelligent code inspection in a C language environment) is a multifaceted software system developed with components from several technologies, including AI, computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), and software technology. It is intended to support the process of formal code inspection within the software development cycle. This chapter reports on ICICLE in the context of its succe...

This paper proposes a conceptual model standardizing the meeting information structures underlying several scenarios o PDA use in meetings. The paper characterizes the memory and process components necessary to support XML-based interoperability between meeting systems. The scenarios, information model and architecture were validated through their adoption in three applications, developed by di...

Robustness of conversational systems is a multifaceted issue that involves factors such as the quality and robustness of the ASR module, but also the capabilities of the dialog manager and the interaction design. The techniques for output rendering also play a major role. Furthermore, “design“ per se has at least two different meanings, viz. the resulting system, but also the process that was u...

Social learning in robotics has largely focused on imitation learning. Here we take a broader view and are interested in the multifaceted ways that a social partner can influence the learning process. We implement four social learning mechanisms on a robot: stimulus enhancement, emulation, mimicking, and imitation, and illustrate the computational benefits of each. In particular, we illustrate ...

INTRODUCTION This paper aims to identify the process of aesthetic education in design studios. Design studio is a significant place, where students of interior design and architecture learn the multifaceted nature of design (Bhatia, 2006; Findeli, 2001). Students’ design solutions actually occur in studio, and the essence of the studio is the discussions regarding the various aspects of their s...

This paper presents a platform for multifaceted product search using Semantic Web technology. Online shops can use a ping service to submit their RDFa annotated Web pages for processing. The platform is able to process these RDFa annotated (X)HTML pages and aggregate product information coming from different Web stores. We propose solutions for the identification of products and the mapping of ...

This paper studies how the enactment of collaboration unfolds. The empirical case of the paper describes an attempt to enact shared practices between two departments within a Danish public organization, which had a history of no previous shared activities and tensed relations. The paper demonstrates that the attempt to enact collaboration and shared practices demands more than mere top-down reo...
