We present a music interface implementing a bowed string. The bow is realised using a commercially available haptic device, consisting of a stylus attached to a robotic arm. While playing the virtual strings with the ...

The ongoing rise of human computation as a means of solving computational problems has created an environment where human workers are often regarded as nameless, faceless computational resources. Some people have begun to think of online tasks as a "remote person call". In this paper, we summarize ethical and practical labor issues surrounding online labor, and offer a set of guidelines for designing and using online labor in ways that support more positive relationships between workers and requesters, so that both can gain the most benefit from the interaction.

The tutorial begins with a model of creative processes and refines it into design principles. Participants will learn of eight ways to improve software that supports human creative processes: searching and browsing digital libraries, visualizing data and processes, consulting with peers and mentors, thinking by free associations, exploring solutions: what-if tools, composing artifacts and performances, reviewing and replaying session histories, and disseminating results. These practical suggestions can be integrated into existing software applications, built into web services, or serve as the framework for novel tools. Software examples will be shown and brainstorming sessions will use projects from participants.

Integrating cutting-edge technologies into education has been a continuous goal to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Augmented Reality (AR) and robotics are two emerging technologies that have shown promise in transforming educational environments. This paper presents a systematic review of the literature on the combination of AR and robotics for educational purposes, identifying key applications, benefits, and trends. Using the PRISMA methodology, 69 relevant studies from five major databases were analysed and categorised into three themes: (a) AR and Socially Assistive Robots (SAR), (b) AR-assisted educational robotics, and (c) AR in robotics/engineering education. The review provides insights into how different AR-enhanced robotics applications across primary, secondary, and higher education, provide visualizations, multimodal feedback, and immersive experiences. Key findings suggest that while interactive features of AR and the embodiment of robots show promising results for learning, fostering motivation, excitement, positive attitudes, and enriched educational experiences, challenges such as technological complexity and cost remain barriers to widespread adoption. Future research should focus on pedagogical frameworks and large-scale implementations to optimize AR-robotics integration in diverse educational settings.

The benefits of pet ownership to physical and mental health are extensive and well documented. Online social networks have the potential to strengthen these relationships and build community among pet owners. In this work, we present several results on the difference in behavior between dog and cat owners in pet-oriented social networks. We extend this analysis to divisions between urban and rural users. Our results show that there are significant differences among these groups. We propose a theory for future testing that more socially isolated the owners are from real-world communities of similar pet owners, the more active they are in forming social connections on these websites, and we offer initial evidence to support this. These results show that these pet social networks are already being used to help support the human-animal bond online, and that different types of pet owners would benefit from different types of support within the systems.

In this paper, we describe a study-in-progress aimed at evaluating and improving the quality of online deliberation. We analyze the use of rationales in article deletion discussions on Wikipedia. Our preliminary findings suggest that the majority of participants in these discussions were concerned with the notability and credibility of the topics, and for the most part presented cogent rationales based on established site policies.

On the Internet, plain text documents created and viewed by users constitute ever changing document streams. Lots of the literature is devoted to topic modeling, while the sequential patterns of topics in document streams are ignored. In this paper, we deal with the problem of mining user related rare sequential patterns of topics in the Internet document streams, which can be used in many fields, such as real-time user behavioral monitoring on the Internet. We propose an approach to discover rare patterns based on the temporal and probabilistic information of topics. Experiments show that the proposed approach can discover user related rare patterns of topic effectively. Copyright 2014 ACM.

This paper discusses the challenges inherent in conducting research with young participants. Based on a series of three studies with children ranging in age from 7-17 as examples, the paper contains descriptions of participant recruitment approaches and challenges. Also included is a discussion of issues surrounding the retention of participants for longitudinal studies, including specific issues for participant retention and loss. Overall, this paper provides detailed experiences of the challenges of large-scale long-term field work with children, and provides guidance for others who are in similar research situations.

A touchpad has been the most popular pointing device for laptop computers. As large, multi-touch sensing touchpads are now common, we came to think about extending its input vocabulary by adding area gestures. In order to explore this possibility, we constructed a laptop-like mockup with an optical, proximity sensing touchpad, and implemented a few area gestures that may be useful in such an environment. We conducted a user test and ran a task walkthrough with a realistic scenario in order to verify the feasibility of the area gestures in a laptop environment. Copyright 2012 ACM.
