In this paper the framework of Computer Music interfaces is convolved within the context of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to produce metaphors and paradigms that engulf differential tunings within adaptable mobile device screens. A presentation of the basic concepts involved in the Computer Music world prevails the discussion on the evaluation criteria for Computer Music virtual instruments and interfaces. New criteria are introduced, like knowledge representation of musical data and alternate musical interfaces materialization. A survey of various systems, based on the previously mentioned criteria is committed.

MECOS is Post-Fukushima OECD/NEA initiative, with the following main objectives: - To quantify the existing margins in seismic analysis of safety class components and assess the existing design practices within a benchmark activity. - To make proposals for new design/evaluation criteria of pressurized piping systems, accounting for their actual failure mode under strong input motions. The first part of MECOS consisted of gathering information on i) current design practices and ii) piping system experimentation carried out around the world that could be suitable for benchmarking. Part 2 is the benchmark itself and Part 3 proposals for new criteria. The purpose of the proposed paper is to present the experimental background and the benchmark exercise.

Abstract At present, there are many methods how to evaluate the structure quality of concept maps; however, there is no tool which would evaluate the cognitive effectiveness of graphic notations in concept maps. One of the possibilities how to evaluate concept maps is to use the principles of graphic notation design. These principles, which were developed by Daniel Moody, are based on experience from various fields of study, such as cognitive psychology, human-computer interaction, semiotics, communication etc. This article presents the use of Moody’s principles for the evaluation of the effectiveness of graphic notation in concept maps.

Semantic networks as a means for knowledge representation and manipulation are used in many artificial intelligence applications. A number of computer architectures, that have been reported for semantic network processing, are presented in this paper. A novel set of evaluation criteria for such semantic network architectures has been developed. Semantic network processing as well as architectural issues are considered in such evaluation criteria. A study of how the reported architectures meet the requirements of each criterion is presented. This set of evaluation criteria is useful for future designs of machines for semantic networks because of its comprehensive range of issues on semantic networks and architectures.

out by the evaluators to consider the behavior of the mobile interface, its impact on the user, and judge whether the user would be able to perform the tasks which features mobility. Although the CWT is suitable to be conducted during the early stage of the mobile device development because they can be performed using a system specification as a basis, the context factor that reflects the mobile challenge should take into the consideration at this stage and CWT should make adaptation in respond to this issues. This is due to that the evaluators will use the device in different ways depending on the situation such that the CWT might work fine in the controlled context environment without side influences or other context challenges factors, but it might not goes the same with the situation where the CWT is being conducted on the run or in the field. All the context consideration will have an impact for the usability solution and content suitability.

 In Computer Music, the knowledge representation process is an essential element for the development of systems. Methods have been applied to provide the computer with the ability to generate conclusions based on previously established experience and definitions. In this sense, Inductive Logic Programming presents itself as a research field that incorporates concepts of Logic Programming and Machine Learning, its declarative character allows musical knowledge to be presented to non-specialist users in a naturally understandable way. The present work performs a systematic review based on approaches that use Inductive Logic Programming in the representation of musical knowledge. Questions that these studies seek to address were raised, as well as identifying characteristic aspects related to their application.

This volume offers a complete guide to a computational approach to spectral music-making. It provides, in a stepwise manner, a [ ] to the signal processing techniques and their application to computer music. The book begins with a series of fundamental definitions, delineating the basic concepts of spectral audio. This includes both a technical and a historical appreciation of the ideas related to the spectrum. The core of the text is formed by six chapters on the techniques of spectral musical signal processing. These are thoroughly illustrated with examples and code excerpts using the Python and Csound languages. This section of the book traces a path from the Fourier theorem to the consideration of non-deterministic signals, also in a step-by-step way discussing the various elements of spectral audio. The final part of the book is dedicated to the aesthetics of spectral music, and methods of design and composition, which apply the ideas and techniques explored earlier in the volume.

The article analyzes the formation of basic competencies in dental students in medical universities of Ukraine. The basic concepts for the formation of basic competencies in dental students in medical universities of Ukraine are identified. The significance of the conceptual approach to the formation of basic competencies in dental students in medical universities of Ukraine is substantiated. The issue that is the focus of this paper should be specified as follows. In the consumer economy, the requirements for the employee are growing rapidly, especially for his basic competence, as the ability to solve problems, competitiveness, but the classical scheme of education is not able to guarantee the appropriate level of training of dentists, according to current medicine and practice. Thus, for the formation of professional competence of future professional dentists in medical universities in the current circumstances it is reasonable to develop and test a concept that involves the use in this process of state-of-the-art pedagogical science and practice: methodological approaches, criteria, content of education, its forms, tools, evaluation criteria effectiveness, etc.

Persuasive design (PD) is concerned with the use of computing technology for persuasive purposes. It thereby captures a comprehensive and important trend in CMC, human-computer interaction, and software development in general. This chapter describes the basic concepts of PD as well as its development from its inception in the late 90s until now. So far, rhetoric has played a modest role in the field. However, it is shown that rhetoric offers a major step forward in consolidating PD as a discipline. The concepts of PD in many respects have a theoretical basis in and are better understood with reference to rhetoric; a number of practical guidelines for PD can and should be developed on the basis of rhetoric; and ‘epistemic rhetoric’ offers a sound epistemology for PD, which is at the moment lacking. Arguably, a rhetorical turn is required for coming to grips with the problem of defining PD and placing it properly as a special case of CMC, namely computer mediated persuasion.
