Cloud manufacturing is gradually transforming the way enterprises do business from traditional production-oriented manufacturing to service-oriented manufacturing. The development of cloud manufacturing in industry practice is closely related to domain-specific user experience. The huge amount of users with diverse roles and various requirements in manufacturing industry are facing great challenges of cloud system usability problems. Thus, user interface issues play a significant role in pushing this new area forward. In this paper, we discuss the key characteristics of intelligent user interface (IUI) for cloud manufacturing, i.e., naturality, smart mobility, self-configuration, and flexible customization. Further, a cloud-plus-IUI model for cloud end-users is presented. Then we discuss the enabling technologies, i.e., automatic configuration based on virtualization, context-aware adaption and recommendation, and multimodal interaction. Finally, we present SketchPart, a sketch-based pad system prototype for searching part drawings in the cloud, to show the advantages of the proposed cloud-plus-IUI solution.

Heuristic evaluation is a useful tool for non-usability experts to evaluate their product for usability and produce lists of guidelines for product designers to avoid usability problems early in the development process. However, Nielsen’s 10 original us ability heuristics (Nielsen, 1990) only showed to help users find slightly over 50% of the usability problems found by experts. This highlights the need for domain-specific heuristic lists. An example of one of these domain-specific lists is VR PLAY (Desurvire & Kreminski, 2018), a heuristic list to help virtual-reality game developers evaluate their games and adhere to usability principles. The current research evaluated Elder Scrolls: Skyrim VR for usability problems that were then categorized using VR PLAY. Results showed some missing usability principles in VR PLAY, including guidelines for control design, user interface elements, and navigation. This study proposes changes to VR PLAY to include the principles.

Metaprogramming is a paradigm for enhancing a general-purpose programming language with features catering for a special-purpose application domain, without a need for a reimplementation of the language. In a staged compilation, the special-purpose features are translated and optimised by a domain-specific preprocessor, which hands over to the general-purpose compiler for translation of the domain-independent part of the program. The domain we work in is high-performance parallel computing. We use metaprogramming to enhance the functional language Haskell with features for the efficient, parallel implementation of certain computational patterns, called skeletons.

AbstractCoronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) created dire consequences globally and triggered an intense scientific effort from different domains. The resulting publications created a huge text collection in which finding the studies related to a biomolecule of interest is challenging for general purpose search engines because the publications are rich in domain specific terminology. Here, we present Vapur: an online COVID-19 search engine specifically designed to find related protein - chemical pairs. Vapur is empowered with a relation-oriented inverted index that is able to retrieve and group studies for a query biomolecule with respect to its related entities. The inverted index of Vapur is automatically created with a BioNLP pipeline and integrated with an online user interface. The online interface is designed for the smooth traversal of the current literature by domain researchers and is publicly available at https://tabilab.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/vapur/.
