This paper describes the design and evaluation process of two mobile programming assistance tools that allow children in the early childhood to develop programs and execute them using robots. The tools are called TITIBOTS and TITIBOTS Colab which incorporates collaboration. The tools have icon-based interfaces and integrate visual programming, robotics, and mobile devices as one tool. The main issues and lessons learned during the design process are described. The methodology used in this project was user-Centered Design (UCD) process. The tools were developed and evaluated applying participatory-design, experience prototyping, and usability testing. The final product are two simple, intuitive, and easy to use tools, for children between 4 and 6 years old. The results were promising: children liked the applications and were willing to continue using it to program robots for solving specific tasks.

This book presents a new approach to examining perceived quality of audiovisual sequences. It uses electroencephalography to understand how exactly user quality judgments are formed within a test participant, and what might be the physiologically-based implications when being exposed to lower quality media. The book redefines experimental paradigms of using EEG in the area of quality assessment so that they better suit the requirements of standard subjective quality testings. Therefore, experimental protocols and stimuli are adjusted accordingly.

For a long time now sociologists have spoken of the domestication of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to indicate their process of integration in everyday life. In this paper, we wish to deal with a crucial aspect of this process, which is the domestication of ICTs at the socio-cognitive level. Our aim is to reconstruct how these technologies have been metabolised in the system of social thought, and the way in which they have been integrated conceptually. At the same time, we wish to propose the methodology of social representations as being particularly suitable for investigating the social meaning of telecommunications. In the course of a telephonic survey of a sample of Italian population of 2,100 persons, 210 interviewees were asked to associate two terms with 10 cue words: telecommunications, fax, television, telephone, computer, mobile phone, radio, video-recorder, stereo, newspapers. The associations obtained were analysed by factor analysis of simple correspondences.
