Abstract Persuasive argumentation depends on multiple aspects, which include not only the content of the individual arguments, but also the way they are presented. The presentation of arguments is crucial – in particular in the context of dialogical argumentation. However, the effects of different discussion styles on the listener are hard to isolate in human dialogues. In order to demonstrate and investigate various styles of argumentation, we propose a multi-agent system in which different aspects of persuasion can be modelled and investigated separately. Our system utilizes argument structures extracted from text-based reviews for which a minimal bias of the user can be assumed. The persuasive dialogue is modelled as a dialogue game for argumentation that was motivated by the objective to enable both natural and flexible interactions between the agents. In order to support a comparison of factual against affective persuasion approaches, we implemented two fundamentally different strategies for both agents: The logical policy utilizes deep Reinforcement Learning in a multi-agent setup to optimize the strategy with respect to the game formalism and the available argument. In contrast, the emotional policy selects the next move in compliance with an agent emotion that is adapted to user feedback to persuade on an emotional level. The resulting interaction is presented to the user via virtual avatars and can be rated through an intuitive interface.

Mating Conditions

Abstract Because of their intuitive interface, mating conditions have been prevalently used in assembly modelling. Besides their use for modelling purposes, other type of information, such as spatial relationships between parts and local degrees of freedom, can be directly derived from mating conditions. This information in turn can be used in various engineering analysis applications, such as kinematics analysis or automatic tolerance chain generation for tolerance analysis. In this paper, application of mating conditions in an assembly sequence-planning task is investigated. The proposed approach mainly engages the mating information represented in the CAD assembly model to automatically generate sequence plans based on the minimization of the number of assembly directions.

Lightning is a natural phenomenon and presents severe risks to people and animals, as well as affects several segments of the productive sector. A web-based lightning monitoring system has been developed to integrate different lightning detection systems, as well as to generate spatial and tabular data and products, capable of assisting specialists and decision makers. The system also allows combining lightning data with satellite images, increasing the capacity of analysis in near real time. This tool proved to be stable and efficient, with an intuitive interface that facilitates interaction with users.

Methodological Guidelines

User interfaces of computer applications encompass a number of objects such as navigation links, buttons, icons, and thumbnails. In this chapter, these are called interface signs. The content and functions of a computer application are generally directed by interface signs to provide the system’s logic to the end users. The interface signs of a usable application need to be intuitive to end users and therefore a necessary part of usability evaluation. Assessing sign intuitiveness can be achieved through a semiotic analysis. This study demonstrates how a semiotic assessment of interface signs’ intuitiveness yielded a number of benefits. For instance, (i) it provides an overall idea of interface signs’ intuitiveness to the end users to interpret the meaning of interface signs, (ii) it assists in finding usability problems and also in (iii) recommending possible solutions, (iv) provides background for introducing guidelines to design user-intuitive interface signs, (v) helps in constructing heuristic checklist from semiotics perspective to evaluate an application, (vi) no additional resource and extra budget are needed. This study also presents a list of methodological guidelines to obtain the perceived benefits of integrating semiotic perception in usability testing for practitioners.

Interface signs are the communication cues of web interfaces, through which users interact. Examples of interface signs are small images, navigational links, buttons and thumbnails. Although intuitive interface signs are crucial elements of a good user interface (UI), prior research ignored these in UI design and usability evaluation process. This chapter outlines how a design science research (DSR) approach is used to develop a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) artifact (semiotic framework) for design and evaluation of user-intuitive web interface signs. This chapter describes how the principles and guidelines of DSR approach are adopted, while performing the activities of the DSR process model to construct the artifact.

Laser technologies deservedly take their place in modern mechanical engineering production. Using laser source for welding has already become common. However, the creation of critical welded constructions is impossible without extensive technological surveys, which can be greatly simplified by using a computational experiment. To achieve this goal, special programs are usually used. That can be unjustified difficult and thereby awkward for technological practice. The article describes an application built on the basis of a simplified model for calculating the temperature field for the cases of laser and laser-arc welding of internal fillet welds as well as single-sided T-joints and simultaneous double-sided welds. The results of calculations by the model and comparing them with experimental data have shown that it is sufficiently adequate for use in technological purposes. The developed application contemporaneously has a simple and intuitive interface, does not require significant computational resources and can be used for quick preliminary estimation of the result of welding for the selected type of weld.

Abstract Summary Multiple databases provide valuable information about curated pathways and other resources that can be used to build and analyze networks. OmniPath combines 61 (and continuously growing) network resources into a comprehensive collection, with over 120 000 interactions. We present here the OmniPath App, a Cytoscape plugin to flexibly import data from OmniPath via a simple and intuitive interface. Thus, it makes possible to directly access the large body of high-quality knowledge provided by OmniPath within Cytoscape for inspection and further use with other tools. Availability and implementation The OmniPath App has been developed for Cytoscape 3 in the Java programing language. The latest source code and the plugin can be found at: https://github.com/saezlab/Omnipath_Cytoscape and http://apps.cytoscape.org/apps/omnipath, respectively. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
