Quality And Communicability For Interactive Hypermedia Systems Concepts And Practices For Design

"This book introduces a new professional in the context of the information science, technology, and management called an 'heuristic assessor of qualitative communicability in interactive systems'"--Provided by publisher.

Electronic media and ICT have become indispensable in the fields of public governance, policy-making and public service provision. E-government research demonstrates its relevance to practice, influencing and shaping government strategies and implementations. The way in which technology can enable and enhance public participation in government is of particular importance. This book presents the proceedings of the ongoing research of the IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences, jointly held at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in September 2014. Included are 24 ongoing research papers, case studies and posters from the EGOV conference, grouped into the sections: stakeholders and participation; open data and interoperability; ICT-enabled policy-making; services; design, architecture and processes; and evaluation and public values. From the ePart conference, 5 ongoing research papers are included. The book also includes workshops from both conferences. IFIP EGOV and ePart bring together the scientific research community in e-government from all over the world, and this book will be of interest to all those involved in public governance and service provision.

Handbook of Research on Technologies and Cultural Heritage: Applications and Environments covers the many important uses information communication technology in enhancing the experience at cultural environments. From museums, to archaeological sites, to festivals and artistic events to even government institutions and public buildings, information communication technology is revolutionizing the way the public participates at and with these cultural sites, and this reference source provides both a thorough exploration of this revolution and springboard for future discoveries.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Communicability, Computer Graphics and Innovative Design for Interactive Systems, held in Córdoba, Spain, in June 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. They examine latest breakthroughs and future trends within the communicability, computer graphics, and innovative design of interactive systems.

The inclusion of experts in communicability in the software industry has allowed timeframes to speed up in the commercialization of new technological products worldwide. However, this constant evolution of software in the face of the hardware revolution opens up a host of new horizons to maintain and increase the quality of the interactive systems following a set of standardized norms and rules for the production of interactive software. Currently, we see some efforts towards this goal, but they are still partial solutions, incomplete, and flawed from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. If the quality of the interactive design is analyzed, it is left to professionals to generate systems that are efficient, reliable, user-friendly, and cutting-edge. The Handbook of Research on Software Quality Innovation in Interactive Systems analyzes the quality of the software applied to the interactive systems and considers the constant advances in the software industry. This book reviews the past and present of information and communication technologies with a projection towards the future, along with analyses of software, software design, phrases to use, and the purposes for software applications in interactive systems. This book is ideal for students, professors, researchers, programmers, analysists of systems, computer engineers, interactive designers, managers of software quality, and evaluators of interactive systems.

"This book presents scientific, theoretical, and practical insight on the software and technology of social networks and the factors that boost communicability, highlighting different disciplines in the computer and social sciences fields"--Provided by publisher.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Advances in New Technologies, Interactive Interfaces, and Communicability, held in Huerta Grande, Argentina, in October 2010. The 16 revised papers presented together with 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The topics addressed span the entire spectrum of design, e-commerce, e-learning, e-health, e-tourism, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. and discuss the latest advances in the areas of accessibility, communicability, computer animation, computer science, database technologies, digital cartography, distance education, GIS, human factors, hypermedia, ICT, quality design, laboratory experience, medical informatics, multimedia, open software, software engineering, telecommunications, telework, tourism online, ubiquitous computing, user-centered design, and virtual reality.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction, Tourism and Cultural Heritage, HCITOCH 2011, held in Córdoba, Argentina, in September 2011. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The volume is intended to be a meeting point of all those who freely wish to boost and perfect the set of strategies and techniques to improve the human-computer interaction, tourism, and cultural heritage.
