The opaque nature of many intelligent systems violates established usability principles and thus presents a challenge for human-computer interaction. Research in the field therefore highlights the need for transparency, scrutability,…
Systems integration is a difficult matter particularly when its components are varied. The problem becomes even more difficult when such components are heterogeneous such as humans, robots and software systems. Currently, the humans are…
Web services technology provides a platform on which we can develop distributed services. The interoperability among these services is achieved by various standard protocols. In recent years, several researches suggested that process…
Machine learning has been applied to a number of creative, design-oriented tasks. However, it remains unclear how to best empower human users with these machine learning approaches, particularly those users without technical expertise. In…
We consider the group property of being icc. We give several examples of icc groups and study its stability under usual algebraic constructions.
As AI systems enter into a growing number of societal domains, these systems increasingly shape and are shaped by user preferences, opinions, and behaviors. However, the design of AI systems rarely accounts for how AI and users shape one…
We perform a systematic comparison of various numerical schemes for the approximation of interface problems. We consider unfitted approaches in view of their application to possibly moving configurations. Particular attention is paid to the…
In this paper we describe a decision process framework allowing an agent to decide what information it should reveal to its neighbours within a communication graph in order to maximise its utility. We assume that these neighbours can pass…
Navigating and visualizing multilayered knowledge graphs remains a challenging, unresolved problem in information systems design. Building on our earlier study, which engaged end users in both the design and population of a domain-specific…
One of the objectives of software engineering education is to make students to learn essential teamwork skills. This is done by having the students work in groups for course assignments. Student team composition plays a vital role in this,…
There has been a considerable amount of work on retrieving functions in function libraries using their type as search key. The availability of rich component specifications, in the form of behavioral types, enables similar queries where one…
Intention, emotion and action are important psychological factors in human activities, which play an important role in the interaction between individuals. How to model the interaction process between individuals by analyzing the…
Modeling and analysis of interactions among services is a crucial issue in Service-Oriented Computing. Composing Web services is a complicated task which requires techniques and tools to verify that the new system will behave correctly. In…
Interactions between pieces of information (entities) play a substantial role in the way an individual acts on them: adoption of a product, the spread of news, strategy choice, etc. However, the underlying interaction mechanisms are often…
We present a case study of an iterative design process that includes a conversation analyst. We discuss potential benefits of conversation analysis for design, and we describe our strategies for integrating the conversation analyst in the…
The behavior of complex systems is determined not only by the topological organization of their interconnections but also by the dynamical processes taking place among their constituents. A faithful modeling of the dynamics is essential…
AI and humans bring complementary skills to group deliberations. Modeling this group decision making is especially challenging when the deliberations include an element of risk and an exploration-exploitation process of appraising the…
Many neural nets appear to represent data as linear combinations of "feature vectors." Algorithms for discovering these vectors have seen impressive recent success. However, we argue that this success is incomplete without an understanding…
In this paper we present an analysis of the complexities of large group collaboration and its application to develop detailed requirements for collaboration schema for Autonomous Systems (AS). These requirements flow from our development of…
To study implementations and optimisations of interaction net systems we propose a calculus to allow us to reason about nets, a concrete data-structure that is in close correspondence with the calculus, and a low-level language to create…
