The diffusion of smartphones and the availability of powerful and cheap connections allow people to access heterogeneous information
and data anytime and anywhere. In this scenario billions of mobile users as well as billions of under-protected IoT devices have high
risk of being the target of malware, cybercrime and attacks. This work introduces visualization techniques applied to software apps
installed on Android devices using features generated by mobile security detection tools through static security analysis. The aim of
this work is to help common people and skilled analysts to quickly identify anomalous and malicious software on mobile devices. The
visual findings are reached through text, tree and other techniques. An app inspection tool is also provided and its usability has
been evaluated with an experimental study with ten participants.

This paper addresses the problem of supporting public decision makers in the data analysis of the territory they are responsible for. Most of the Italian territory consists of the so-called inner areas, which are primarily rural areas usually far from main centers that provide education, health and mobility services. A project that analyzes inner areas is reported; it has two main objectives. A first one is to identify proper clusters of such areas so that smaller areas can be grouped together in order to share important services in the best and more economic way; different algorithms are used to identify relevant parameters and to cluster inner areas. The second objective is to create proper visualizations of data of such inner areas, in order to better support decision makers in understanding the data and taking more informed decisions. It is remarked that using visualization techniques without adequate knowledge of their possibilities greatly limits the support that analysts may get from them.

Visual objects made of multiple views, e.g., dashboards and small multiples, are taking the scene in information communication and visual patterns design, but still vague are the studies that try to abstract away from characterizing them at the level of their single charts, and rather focus on their structural characteristics and the resulting interactions with their multi-view ensemble seen as a whole. In this paper, we are proposing this unified view through a multi-dimensional wheel, on the strand of Cairo’s wheel made for infographics, devised for the identification, the analysis, and the evaluation of design patterns for multiple views.

In Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), Internet of Things
(IoT) technology is exploited to equip living environments with smart
objects that communicate with the outside world in an intelligent and
goal-oriented manner and can support the occupants� activities.
Currently, providing such objects with new capabilities requires
several programming efforts. In this paper, we present an approach to
combine IoT technologies and End-User Development (EUD) paradigms and
tools to identify innovative scenarios where end-users are directly
involved in the creation and customization of the AAL systems they
use. We will present EFESTO, a Task Automation tool that offers novel
visual interaction paradigms to enable end users to easily express
rules for smart object configuration and discuss how the overall
approach can support daily practices of non-frail elderlies.

Modern technologies support people's life in multiple
contexts like the assistive one. The pervasiveness of the so-called
'Smart Objects', related to the Internet of Things technologies, is
boosting this in many ways. The support for old people to take the
daily tablets through an automatic device is an example. This work
presents the prototype of a modular pill dispenser customized by end
users according to their specific therapy needs. The prototype is a
physical and modular set of pillboxes each containing the pills to be
assumed in a therapy. The presented scenario at a specific time, set
by the user, one or more pillboxes blink to alert the patient that is
pill time. If for a given time interval the patient do not take the
pill a sound notification is activated and plays for a given duration.
If still nothing happens then a notification is sent to the
caregiver's smartphone. The behavior of the pill dispenser is defined
by the end user and can be modified any time. One peculiarity of the
pill dispenser is that the number of physical boxes are decided by the
user and can change any time to best fit the specific therapy. The
final goal of this work is to push not professional users, in
particular older people, to take advantages of new technologies to
improve their life.

People, and mainly elderly people, need a continuous
support for different reasons. Recent technologies are offering many
possibilities that was not possible to conceive in the past. In
particular, the proliferation of IoT devices raise the need to
standardize protocols and interaction languages. The aim of this work
is to create a device for the management of pills according to the
user's therapy, with Internet of things (IoT) devices and by allowing
users to manage the pill dispenser by themselves. The work falls into
two main areas of current research: the End-user development (EUD) and
the Internet of things (IoT). The main issue we cope with such device
is to allow the different therapies for each person and for each drug.
We propose the EUDroid system, which provides the end user with the
possibility to easily activate LEDs and buzzer related to pills from
the users' smartphone. The user chooses the type of pill to be
associated to each LED, the day and time of activation and some other
property. A formal language to configure the device has been adopted
in order to allow users to build complex conditions for remind to
follow the therapy.

A Meta-design Approach to Support Information Access and Manipulation in Virtual Research Environments

Virtual Research Environments (VREs) are distributed
and dynamic software environments that foster the collaboration of
people from di?erent disciplines by supporting the accomplishment of
complex research tasks. VREs lack e?cient and e?ective user interfaces
able to satisfy the needs of the di?erent types of people
collaborating in performing certain tasks. Thus, a great challenge
that VREs have to address is user diversity, which arises from
di?erent factors such as cultural background of users, their reasoning
strategies, the way they carry out their tasks in their daily
practices, and the languages and notations they are familiar with.
This paper provides a solution to this challenge by proposing to
create VREs that exploit the meta-design approach we have developed to
design interactive systems that address user diversity. We then
describe a mashup platform, built according to the meta-design
approach, which supports non-technical users in accessing and
manipulating information in VREs by enabling them to extract contents
from heterogeneous sources and manipulate such content in their
personal interactive environments, thus creating new content that can
be shared among people collaborating to a task in a VRE. Finally, it
is brie?y discussed how this platform can be useful in some phases of
the recently proposed model of Information Visualization for Big Data.

researchers have performed a lot of work to identify principles,
techniques, and methodologies that can support design, evaluation and
implementation of interactive systems that fulfill needs and
expectations of their users. This chapter discusses concepts, such as
usability and user experience, which are of great importance for the
success of interactive systems, illustrating how Human-Centred Design
is fundamental to create successful user interfaces. Principles
proposed by the HCI community to support interface design are
presented, analyzing the principles that have a major impact on IR

Mass customization refers to the increase in variety
and customization of the manufactured products and services. It is now
economically feasible thanks to the availability of computer-aided
manufacturing systems, which allow people to customize standard
products, and to Internet, through which many online retailers now
operate, thus eliminating the constraints of physical shelf space and
other bottlenecks of distribution that, in past years, prevented the
production of niche products because of their high production costs.
To permit mass customization, several software-based product
configurators are available on the Web: they guide people in adapting
a product to their needs and desires. A drawback of such configurators
is the limited range of changes permitted. We present in this paper a
system that gives people more freedom in creating products that best
fit their desires, thanks to the use of an ontology, which models the
possible product compositions that users can perform. The proposed
solution is shown through a case study, which refers to furniture
production.

Collaborative design involving end users has emerged as
a response to the needs felt by various organizations of adapting
software to specific environments and users. During time, users and
environments evolve; this is another reason why software has to be
modified. Different stakeholders, including consultants, designers
internal to the organization and, recently, end users, have to
collaborate among themselves, and possibly with the software
providers, to shape software. Such stakeholders face fundamental
challenges in learning how to communicate and in building a shared
understanding. Researchers are now addressing such challenges. This
paper contributes to this innovative research by formally defining
visual mediation mechanisms for collaborative design. A case study
illustrating their application is discussed.

This paper presents a mobile system that supports young
students learning history at an archaeological site. It adopts
gameplay as a novel and effective technique particularly suited for
learning through mobile systems (m-learning). From a technological
point of view, the main novelty of our system is its slim
architecture. Minimal investments are required because the system runs
on the students� own cellular phones. Experimental studies indicate
that gameplay is able to trigger a desire to learn more about ancient
history and to make archaeological visits more exciting and learning
about the past more effective.

Data visualization made of multiple visualization techniques, e.g., dashboards and small multiples, is
taking the scene as data, AI algorithms and their analysis are becoming more complex and articulated.
However, still too little is said about what are the core dimensions of these interactions that may contribute
to characterize visualization techniques orchestration in scenarios where humans and AI work together
and communicate through visual languages, and what is the differential in complexity with respect to
single charts interaction. Depending on such dimensions, their level, and their combination, interaction
may require a cognitively growing effort. The present study aims at giving a unified view of complex
visual frameworks in order to identify the invariants of visualization techniques characterization, and
proposes a group of necessary and sufficient dimensions emerging when visualization techniques are the
focus of the design and may be the focus of interaction between humans and AI. The paper identifies and
discusses these dimensions, starting from the literature, and giving a characterization of each of them in
terms of constituent levels. The framework may be applied to analysis of a range of data visualization
tools and approaches, towards their concrete application to a distributed visual cognition framework
where humans-AI interactions will take place.

This work focuses on the use of a specific type of visualization to analyze soccer matches and highlight
individual players’ goal contributions. An analytic approach in team sports is nowadays considered crucial
by both practitioners and other interested parties such as fans or betters.
In soccer, the analysis of sequences of passes and shoots can help the analysts understanding some aspects
of the performance of players and teams. We show how, through a compact representation of n-ary temporal
relationship, users can get a comprehensive view of the evolution of the passes leading to a goal in
several matches. The dataset considered in this work contains data from the first 26 weeks of the season
2019-2020 of the Italian major soccer league.

The use of technology to make a city smart provides opportunities and threats. Cities can be analyzed from
different perspectives and dimensions. This paper addresses the level of security of Smart Cities derived
by the observation of their technological level, according to a model that also considers several application
domains. As a case study, the paper reports the analysis performed in Italy. The results can be extended on
other countries. The goal is to provide decision makers a support for the understanding of the security level
of a city and a reference for a comparison among different cities. Another goal is to highlight potential
security leaks, in order to mitigate the possible vulnerabilities and improve the security of the smart
cities.

A Smart City is a multidimensional entity based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and intelligent (smart) use of urban infrastructures for improving the quality of life of its citizens. The management of such technologies and services for the citizens requires addressing adequately the security. The goal of this research work is to analyze existing potentially vulnerable devices in Smart Cities, in order to understand the security level of the city, and thus provide support for a secure management of the city. An analysis on 5 Italian Smart Cities was performed, each one was evaluated on different technological layers: Network and Infrastructure, Sensors, Service Delivery Platform, Application and Services. The results show that currently there are potentially vulnerable devices across different technological levels that compromise security and privacy of smart services offered to citizens. The development of a Smart City requires the implementation of security controls, in order to reduce the possibility for attackers to exploit existing vulnerabilities in the analyzed devices.

The COVID-19 emergency has shown that elderly people living in Assisted Living Houses (ALHs) have been highly exposed
to the virus. Besides health problems, during the social distancing restrictions, the elderly were also strongly
affected by loneliness due to a lack of contact with their loved ones. Innovative solutions for ALH based on Social
Assistive Robotics can reduce the risk of infection and, at the same time, improve the quality of life of elderly people.
In this work, after a brief overview on the Pepper4Elderly project, we focus on the role of empathy and affective behaviors
in human-robot interaction when the robot is used as a caring agent to assist and entertain the elderly guests of ALHs.

Abstract
Predictive analysis is an important part of data analysis. Predictive models, based on Statistics or Machine Learning,
are increasingly used to estimate, with a certain probability, future values of the variables that describe a phenomenon.
Different models produce different results on a same dataset; thus, several models should be compared in order to identify
the most suitable one. The paper is part of a larger research that aims at providing interactive visualizations that
help the analysts to compare predictive models and to select the model that best fits the data. Specifically,
two visualizations are presented, which support the analysts in performing some tasks of the Keim's Visual Analytics Mantra.

Abstract
The correct use of energy can heavily impact on a family monthly bills and can also contribute to reduce the global air pollution production. Despite many available systems for domestic energy consumption, the real understanding of how domestic devices affect the total energy consumption is still a challenge. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology may contribute to the improvement of the energy habits awareness, by connecting sensors and mobile devices to provide people real-time consumption of a domestic environment. Many attempts have been done to integrate environmental sensors, mobile devices and people but this remains a challenge. This paper presents the use of a cheap and easy to apply Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) system that show people their historical and real-time domestic energy consumption on mobile devices and sends them alerts if an energy overload is about to occur.

from digital books and have access to information anytime and
anywhere. However, with billions of mobile users worldwide, as well as
billions of under-protected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the risk
of being the target of malware, cybercrime and sophisticated attacks
is high.This paper proposes and discusses a set of visualization
techniques applied to a dataset generated by DREBIN, a malware
detection tool that performs a
staticanalysisonappsinstalledtoAndroiddevices.Onthebaseof dataset, we
applied text, tree and graph visualization techniques to identify
malware patterns. The visual ?ndings can help the cybersecurity
analyst in detecting malicious app behavior.

Due to its geographical position, the Apulia region, is used to house migrants from all over the world who arrived over the centuries.
Apulia is also a transit land for migrants that want to reach other Italian regions or European countries. One of the main issues of
migration flows is related to the health services network. In this context, the Apulia Region, in collaboration with other private and
public organisations, proposed the Prevenzione 4.0 (Prevention) project that aims at creating an e-health environment to empower the
services of the National Health Service for migrants. Technological solutions and learning paths will be implemented to reduce the
number of users who daily ask for health care services. The actions will be available for both migrants and professional figures
involved in the management of migrants� reception processes. This paper presents a mobile application designed to help the migrant
centres to provide medical and psychological support to their guests. The app fosters the migrants� empowerment to make them able to
take care of their health without involving the National Health Service when not strictly necessary.

Using Dynamic Hypergraphs to Reveal the Evolution of the Business Network of a 17th Century French Woman Merchant
Proceedings of IEEE VIS 2018 - 3rd Workshop on Visualization for the Digital Humanities, 21 October 2018, Berlin, Germany
Abstract -
pdf
Many digital humanity use cases require the analysis
of relationships between entities (e.g. people or countries). The
analysis of those relationships is particularly difficult when these
relations change over time. A common representations of such relations
is through graphs, which connect pairs of entities. However, in the
real world relationships are often more complex and can be better
described using hypergraphs (where edges can connect more than two
entities). In this paper, we present a digital humanity case study of
the analysis of people mentioned in 16th and 17th Century legal
documents, modeled as a dynamic hypergraph. We use a new
representation called Parallel Aggregated Ordered Hypergraph. Our
prototype implementation of Parallel Aggregated Ordered Hypergraph,
and the benefits of the PAOH representation are discussed.

Combining Multiple View Components for Exploratory Visualization
Proceedings of IEEE VIS 2018 - VIS Posters, 21-26 October 2018, Berlin, Germany
Abstract
The analysis of structured complex data, such as
clustered graphbased datasets, may use a variety of visual
representation techniques and formats. Available tools and approaches
to exploratory visualization are built on integrated schemes for
simultaneous displaying of multiple aspects of objects and processes.
Such schemes partition screen space in multiple views and adopt
interaction patterns to focus on relevant items. From a technical
point of view, the interpretation of widely known concepts, such as
overview-plus-detail and focus-plus-context, is ambiguous. Therefore,
their implementation by UI design practitioners needs reviews and a
classification of the basic approaches to visual composition of
graphical representation modules. We propose a description of
components that characterize base, focus, context views, and provides
an overview of their multiple combinations.

The Italian National Police started a research on
vehicular traffic to improve road safety and reduce the number of
theft victims. In order to support the discovery of anomalous
behavior, this paper proposes a method for data analysis to
automatically detect relevant hypotheses, a data mining technique to
extract relevant information and a visualization technique. Traffic
flow analysis is a challenging and complex task, due to the huge size
of the data involved, thus falling in the realm of Big Data. Visual
Analytics tools reduce and improve the search by representing a large
amount of data in a small space through smart visualizations.

The analysis of air quality data may reveal the
quality of life and can prevent dangers for the citizen health. This
paper presents an approach for air quality data analysis, which
exploits Data Mining and InfoVis techniques to support the analysts
daily work. The proposed approach addresses data generated by the
electronic nose, a device that detects chemical compounds perceived by
humans through the smell. A working pipeline implements a workflow for
data processing with clustering techniques; an enhanced powerful
calendar visualization combined with more traditional line graph and
geo-referenced visualizations shows data to the analyst allowing to
detect temporal trends and making immediate comparisons.

Polar coordinates have been widely used in various
techniques of interactive data visualization. The spatial organization
through circular and radial layouts is implemented in a wide range of
statistical charts and plots and is applicable for space-filling
techniques and for node-link-group diagrams. Different arrangements of
dots, lines and areas in polar coordinates create grids for data
distribution, aggregation and linking. This work is devoted to the
study of visual notations of data and their relationships and proposes
an outline of their application in designing node-link-group diagrams,
in order to arrange the geometric solutions at functional and logical
levels of the visual representation.

The deep learning approach has increased the quality
of automatic medical diagnoses at the cost of building qualified
datasets to train and test such supervised machine learning methods.
Image annotation is one of the main activity of dermatologists and the
quality of annotation depends on the physician experience and on the
number of studied cases: manual annotations are very useful to extract
features like contours, intersections and shapes that can be used in
the processes of lesion segmentation and classification made by
automatic agents. This paper proposes the design of an interactive
multimedia platform that enhance the annotation process of medical
images, in the domain of dermatology, adopting gamification and "games
with a purpose" (GWAP) strategies in order to improve the engagement
and the production of qualified datasets also fostering their sharing
and practical evaluation. A special attention is given to the design
choices, theories and assumptions as well as the implementation and
technological details.

In recent years, smart objects are increasingly
pervading the environments we live in. Several studies highlight that
Cultural Heritage (CH) is a very promising domain for IoT adoption,
since this technology can favor the definition of smart visit
experiences that engage visitors by allowing them to acquire CH
content while interacting with the surrounding smart environment and
the smart objects included in it. This paper presents new End-User
Development approaches and the related abstractions that can support
CH experts to create customizable visit experiences within museums and
other cultural sites.

Despite the advantages that Internet of Things (IoT)
technology offers, there are still important issues to be solved to
increase its practical impact. The opportunities offered by IoT can be
amplified if new approaches, based on high-level abstractions and
adequate interaction paradigms, are conceived to involve directly
non-technical users in configuring the behavior of their smart
objects. In this paper, we present our End-User Development approach,
which we would like to discuss at the workshop together with the
challenges our future research implies.

a compact way, allowing users to detect patterns and inconsistencies.
We describe our technique and show how it applies to the case of the
history of publications of the Eurovis conference, revealing
interesting patterns that can contribute to tell a story about data
and create hypotheses.

Logistics activities refer to transporting materials
and/or storing them in specific warehouse (platforms) for a given
period of time. Typical problems are related to route and vehicle load
optimization and monitoring of transportation conditions. GPS
availability in the vehicles allows transportation companies to
remotely check if vehicles are on schedule. Such information is often
related to a single shipment. This paper presents a web tool which
aims to support analysts through an interactive visualization
technique that shows all routes performed by the vehicles in a given
period of time on a geographic map. The tool allows analysts to
perform explorative analysis in order to obtain information that
otherwise is difficult to get. Various filters help them to reduce the
visualized data to a manageable quantity. The interface is simple,
complex queries can be executed by specifying a few parameters and
performing zoom & pan gestures on the map

A Circular Visualization Technique for Collaboration and Quantifying Self

Maristella Matera (Eds.). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 348-349. DOI:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2909132.2926091
Abstract
People awareness in various contexts has been widely
considered in the literature. A form of awareness is the
quantification of self, which requires a number of conditions to be
implemented. The most important are: producing, computing and making
sense of data. Sensors produce data at very high rates. A lot of
research, in the field of data bases, has focused on how to store and
compute data efficiently. Data presentation is still challenging,
because the possibilities of producing interactive visualizations on
the Web and on different devices are increasing. The contribution of
this demo paper is to propose a visualization technique and a
web-based tool enabling the visualization of personal data produced
during the 24 hours of the day. The aim of this tool is to help people
to understand their own behavior. Such data can also be compared with
other people's data to improve the analysis. This demo focuses on two
main contexts: visualizing working data of a group of people living in
different time zones in order to improve the awareness of the behavior
of the group; visualizing energy consumption data in order to provide
an idea of the behavior of people in the domestic context. The data
for the first example are gathered from the activity people perform
with their computer (e.g. email, chat, keyboard strokes) while the
data of the second context are gathered from a low-cost Arduino device
capable of providing instant electricity consumption information.

One of the main reasons of domestic energy waste is due
to occupants' habits, since they are often not aware of the energy
they are consuming. This paper presents a low cost system for home
energy consumption awareness. The first prototype considers electrical
energy and uses only two sensors: one to monitor energy produced by
solar panels and one to monitor consumed energy. A visualization shows
people their consumption patterns in order to make them aware of
energy consumption and change their habits to save energy.

Abstract
Collaboration today is often done among people from
different countries located in different time zones. Even if daily
activity patterns are very similar, the displacement of the time of
the day, due to the time zone can reduce the possibilities to have a
meeting or contact a collaborator. This paper proposes a visualization
technique that shows to different users the activity patterns of
collaborator in order to improve the awareness in the team. The
representation shows several data types in a 24h clock metaphor. The
information conveyed discussed in the paper are email, instant
messaging, presence at the computer, scheduled activities in a time
windows of 24h, which can be extended to 48h.

Abstract -
The evolution of communication technologies provides
sup- port to the collaboration of people that work in distributed
teams. Group awareness is an important requirement for ac- tivity
coordination, since understanding the activities of the others
provides the context for the individual own activities and gives
indications on how individual contributions are rel- evant to the
team. This poster proposes a novel information visualization technique
that aims at supporting awareness in distributed teams. Collaborative
traces of team mem- bers are visualized in order to show which one is
the most available and responsive.

The huge amount of videos, available for various
purposes, makes video editing software very important and popular
among people. One of the uses of video in medicine is to store
surgical operations for educational or legal purposes. In particular,
in telemedicine, the exchange of audio and video plays a very
important role. In most cases, surgeons are inexpert in video editing;
moreover, the user interface of such software tools is often very
complex. This paper presents a tool to extract important scenes from
surgery videos. The goal is to enable surgeons to easily and quickly
extract scenes of interest.

Are software companies aware of UX?
Proceedings of International Workshop on the Interplay between User Experience (UX)
Evaluation and System Development (I-UxSED 2012). NordiCHI 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark, pp. 10-13
Abstract -
pdf
The efforts of addressing user experience (UX) in
product development keeps growing, as demonstrated by the
proliferation of workshops and conferences bringing together academics
and practitioners, who aim at creating interactive software able to
satisfy their users. Unfortunately, human-centred design and methods
addressing usability and UX are always mentioned in research papers
but yet very seldom applied in the current practice of software
development in industry. In this paper, some findings of studies we
have recently performed with software companies are reported. They
show that either companies still neglect usability and UX, or they do
not properly address them. Thus, in this workshop that seems to
consider UX evaluation as a usual practice and aims to optimize the
impact of UX evaluation feedback on software development, our
provocative statement is: Are software companies (at least) aware of
UX? The studies summarized in this paper show that, in many cases, the
answer is NO. We are working to overcome the current situation and the
paper concludes by providing some suggestions to fill the gap between
research and practice of UX.

Abstract -
pdf
Developing visual tools that support data analysis in a
specific application domain requires a careful investigation in order
to understand needs and expectations of people who will use such
tools. The domain experts addressed in this paper are chemists
specialized in environmental data analysis. Their main activity is to
detect and monitor chemical compounds in the air through many devices
in order to detect anomalies or prevent risks. One of the main
problems that chemists face is the analysis of the huge amount of data
produced by devices. They perform explorative data analysis and are
willing to use software tools that can help them to get insights from
data. This paper reports the experience in working with chemists to
identify interactive visual tools that can be useful for their
purposes. It provides insights on the difficulty of creating systems
that users find really useful for their work, even when users
participate in the design team. Because of the complexity of the
considered problem and the fact that people are unable to make
explicit all their needs and requirements, the identification of
proper tools resulted very challenging.

communication technologies may contribute to increasing awareness in
cultural heritage. In the last few years we have developed several
applications aimed at supporting visits to cultural heritage sites.
Such applications depends very much on the visitors they address, the
devices they are implemented on, etc. In this paper, we illustrate the
design approach we have adopted, which takes into account an end-user
development perspective in order to allow different stakeholders to
contribute to the design. The Cultural Heritage Resources (CHeR)
model, encompassing all the entities involved in the design process,
including the stakeholders, the digital resources to be shown, the
different types of visitors, the relationships between these entities
is described. It is at the basis of a software framework that has been
developed to allow different stakeholders to contribute in the design
of the final application. It is shown how this framework is used to
create engaging applications in cultural heritage.

Today surveillance systems are everywhere. Human
observers watching live videos of specific areas are not efficient due
to the likely loss of attention. On the other side, unattended
surveillance systems require that people ana- lyze hours of recordings
when they have to search for some specific events, e.g. identify
people responsible of violence, theft or other offences. In many cases
a specific search in the video has to be accomplished in the shortest
amount of time. This paper presents MotionFinder, a tool that performs
video analysis by computing an interactive summarization of the
movements in a scene. Once the summarization process is complete, the
tool responds in real time to inquires. For example, human
investigators may search for specific areas in the video that show
high levels of activity or where they know that something occurred
(e.g.: property damaged or stolen). The tool responds by showing only
the scenes in which some activity occurred for that specific area of
the video.

Understanding how technology, coupled with skillful
pedagogical solutions, can help to innovate and improve learning at
school is the main goal of the �Learning for All� (L4A) research
project. The combination of educational games and advanced technology
has the potentiality of arousing pupils� attention, also engaging
them in learning activities while having fun. This paper presents two
educational games available through a large multitouch displays
installed in the hall of a primary school. Such games aim at
stimulating pupils to exercise their knowledge about history and
geography. Field studies have been planned to study both educational
and social aspects about the interaction with such games.

SEKE proceedings
The importance of usability engineering in software
development is acknowledged by an increasing number of software
organizations. This paper reports from a survey of the practical
impact of usability engineering in software development organizations.
The survey was conducted in Southern Italy, replicating one conducted
in Northern Denmark three years earlier. The results show that the
number of organizations conducting some form of usability activities
is nearly the same, but there are important differences in the
understanding of usability. The key advantages emphasized by the
respondents are product quality, user satisfaction and competitiveness
in both surveys. The main problems emphasized are developer mindset,
resource demands and customer participation.

Interaction with 3D Virtual Environments has always
suffered from a lack of widely available and low cost input devices.
Recently, thanks to the diffusion of gaming systems such as the
Microsoft XBox 360 or the Nintendo Wii, new input devices are on the
market at a relatively cheap price. This paper describes a study whose
aim is to compare input devices in order to identify effective
alternatives for the mouse and keyboard in such settings where their
use is not advisable or feasible, e.g. museums and other public areas.
This study has been carried out using a 3D Virtual Environment in
which the participants were required to perform three canonical 3D
interaction tasks. Two different groups participated to the test: the
first group was involved in a pilot study to check the test
environment. The second group performed the test.

Simulating the evacuation of an office building can be
helpful to better prepare the potential occupants in the event of
fire. Virtual environments are the ideal candidates for this type of
simulations because they allow testing of numerous scenarios with
minimal costs. We also needed a multiplayer collaborative environment
for our experiment and for this reason, our choice fell on Second
Life. In our study numerous tests were conducted on various groups of
users to analyze their behavior and reactions and experienced through
a virtual environment during a dangerous situation. In this paper we
describe how our experiment was enacted and the results and
observations made after the tests.

This paper reports the experimental studies we have
performed to evaluate Explore!, an m-learning system that supports
middle school students during a visit to an archaeological park. It
exploits a learning technique called excursion-game, whose aim is to
help students to acquire historical notions while playing and to make
archaeological visits more effective and exciting. In order to
understand the potentials and limitations of Explore!, our studies
compare the experience of playing the excursion-game with and without
technological support. The design and evaluation of Explore! have
provided knowledge on the advantages and pitfalls of m-learning that
may be instrumental in informing the current debate on e-learning.

This paper presents a system designed to support young
students learning history at an archaeological site, by exploiting
mobile technology. The approach uses game-play, since it stimulates in
young students an understanding of history that would otherwise be
difficult to engender, helping players to acquire historical notions
and making archaeological visits more effective and exciting. A
strength of the system is that, by running on the visitors own
cellular phones, it requires minimal investments and small changes to
the existing site exhibition.

Time-series forecasting has a large number of
applications. Users with a partial time series for auctions, new stock
offerings, or industrial processes desire estimates of the future
behavior. We present a data driven forecasting method and interface
called Similarity-Based Forecasting (SBF). A pattern matching search
in an historical time series dataset produces a subset of curves
similar to the partial time series. The forecast is displayed
graphically as a river plot showing statistical information about the
SBF subset. A forecasting preview interface allows users to
interactively explore alternative pattern matching parameters and see
multiple forecasts simultaneously. User testing with 8 users
demonstrated advantages and led to improvements.

Nell’Internet of Things, il mondo reale e quello virtuale sono connessi attraverso sensori che ricevono ed elaborano dati dall’ambiente circostante.
Tali oggetti “intelligenti” permettono modalità di fruizione interattive e multimediali utili nei beni culturali per arricchire le esperienze dei
visitatori. Si propone un sistema in cui un curatore museale pianifica e monitora visite tramite un’app che permette ai visitatori di svolgere
attività che prevedono dei quesiti a cui dovranno rispondere con l’ausilio di una “bacchetta magica”. Tale oggetto interagisce con le opere del
museo attraverso la tecnologia RFID. Test effettuati hanno mostrato che l’interazione tra oggetto IoT ed app mobile arricchisce l’esperienza
dell’utente e del curatore museale che potrà usare la sua creatività ed esperienza per organizzare i contenuti del museo.

Information and communication technologies have a
great potential to increase awareness and appreciation of cultural
heritage. In the last decade, at the Computer Science Department of
the University of Bari (Italy), we have been working to the design,
development and evaluation of software systems supporting people
during their visits to historical sites and museums, with the goal of
improving the overall user experience. We focused on pervasive games
to offer an engaging way to experience the cultural heritage site.
This article briefly describes some games we developed and presents
some of our new recent approaches. Specifically, we are investigating
possible use of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, as well as
Mixed Reality, in order to ensure a more engaging visit experience and
to increase the appropriation of CH contents by visitors.

Mid-Air Gestures in Mixed Reality: Issues and Challenges
Multimodal 2017 workshop, September 18 2017, Cagliari, Italy
Abstract
Mixed Reality (MR) visual displays are a particular
subset of Virtual Reality technology. They combine the merging of real
and virtual worlds somewhere along the "virtuality continuum" which
fully connects real environments with virtual ones. These devices
promise a more natural interaction thanks to mid-air gestures.
However, they implement interaction techniques that are often rough,
inaccurate and unnatural, because they are mediated by mechanisms
designed for PCs and mobile devices. This paper reports on a set of MR
interaction experiences we collected during the last years, reflecting
on recurrent issues identified and analyzing some possible solutions.
The paper concludes with a brief discussion of an ongoing project that
exploits MR devices to interact with smart objects installed in
museums and archaeological parks.
