This book presents a fascinating, state-of-the-art collection of
papers on the recent advances in human-computer systems interaction
(H-CSI). It offers a detailed description of the status quo in the
H-CSI field and also provides a solid base for further development
and research in the area. The content is divided into three parts:
I. Aid systems for disabled people; II. Decision-making support
systems; and III. Information and communication systems. It is
intended for a wide audience of readers who are not necessarily
experts in computer science, machine learning or knowledge
engineering, but are interested in human-computer systems
interaction, and the combination of general and specific papers
offers readers deeper insights than might be gleaned from research
papers or talks at conferences. It touches on all the current hot
topics in the field of H-CSI.
This book contains an interesting and state-of the art
collection of papers on the recent progress in Human-Computer
System Interaction (H-CSI). It contributes the profound description
of the actual status of the H-CSI field and also provides a solid
base for further development and research in the discussed area.
The contents of the book are divided into the following parts: I.
General human-system interaction problems; II. Health monitoring
and disabled people helping systems and III. Various information
processing systems. This book is intended for a wide audience of
readers who are not necessarily experts in computer science,
machine learning or knowledge engineering, but are interested in
Human-Computer Systems Interaction. The level of particular papers
and specific spreading-out into particular parts is a reason why
this volume makes fascinating reading. This gives the reader a much
deeper insight than he/she might glean from research papers or
talks at conferences. It touches on all deep issues that currently
preoccupy the entire field of H-CSI.
The importance of human-computer system interaction problems is
increasing due to the growing expectations of users on general
computer systems capabilities in human work and life facilitation.
Users expect system which is not only a passive tool in human hands
but rather an active partner equipped with a sort of artificial
intelligence, having access to large information resources, being
able to adapt its behavior to the human requirements and to
collaborate with the human users. This book collects examples of
recent human-computer system solutions. The content of the book is
divided into three parts. Part I is devoted to detection,
recognition and reasoning in different circumstances and
applications. Problems associated with data modeling, acquisition
and mining are presented by papers collected in part II and part
III is devoted to Optimization.
This volume of the book contains a collection of chapters selected
from the papers which originally (in shortened form) have been
presented at the 3rd International Conference on Human-Systems
Interaction held in Rzeszow, Poland, in 2010. The chapters are
divided into five sections concerning: IV. Environment monitoring
and robotic systems, V. Diagnostic systems, VI. Educational
Systems, and VII. General Problems. The novel concepts and
realizations of humanoid robots, talking robots and orthopedic
surgical robots, as well as those of direct brain-computer
interface are examples of particularly interesting topics presented
in Sec. VI. In Sec. V the problems of skin cancer recognition,
colonoscopy diagnosis, and brain strokes diagnosis as well as more
general problems of ontology design for medical diagnostic
knowledge are presented. Example of an industrial diagnostic system
and a concept of new algorithm for edges detection in
computer-analyzed images are also presented in this Section. Among
the educational systems, in Sec. VII the remote teaching and
testing methods in higher education, a neurophysiological approach
to aiding the learning process, an entrepreneurship education
system and a magnetic levitation laboratory systems are presented.
Sec. VII contains papers devoted to selected general human-computer
systems interaction problems. Among them the problems of rules
formulation for automatic reasoning, creation of ontologies,
Boolean recommenders in decision systems and languages for proteins
structural similarity description can be mentioned. The chapters
included into both, I and II volumes of the book illustrate a large
variety of problems arising and methods used in the rapidly
developing Human-System Interaction research domain.
The main contemporary human-system interaction (H-SI) problems
consist in design and/or improvement of the tools for effective
exchange of information between individual humans or human groups
and technical systems created for humans aiding in reaching their
vital goals. This book is a second issue in a series devoted to the
novel in H-SI results and contributions reached for the last years
by many research groups in European and extra-European countries.
The preliminary (usually shortened) versions of the chapters were
presented as conference papers at the 3rd International Conference
on H-SI held in Rzeszow, Poland, in 2010. A large number of
valuable papers selected for publication caused a necessity to
publish the book in two volumes. The given, 1st Volume consists of
sections devoted to: I. Decision Supporting Systems, II.
Distributed Knowledge Bases and WEB Systems and III. Impaired
Persons Aiding Systems. The decision supporting systems concern
various application areas, like enterprises management, healthcare,
agricultural products storage, visual design, planning of sport
trainings, etc. Other papers in this area are devoted to general
decision supporting methods and tools. In the group of papers
concerning knowledge bases and WEB-based systems are some focused
on new computer networks technologies, models of malicious network
traffic and selected problems of distributed networks resources
organization and tagging. The concepts of a distributed virtual
museum and of managing the process of intellectual capital creation
in this part of the book are also presented. The last part of this
volume contains a dozen of papers concerning various concepts and
realizations of disabled persons aiding systems. Among them, the
systems aimed at aiding visual or motion disability affected
persons can be mentioned. The problems of residential
infrastructure for ubiquitous health supervision and graphics- and
gesture-based interactive children therapy supporting systems
design in this volume are also presented.
