In this paper an affective interaction model is presented. This model has been developed in order to facilitate the creation of affective resources. In this case, a conversational system able to transmit emotions has been developed using the proposed model, providing the user a more natural and pleasant conversation.

User experience (UX) is still an elusive notion with many different definitions, despite some recent attempts to develop a unified view on UX. The lack of a shared definition of UX not only confuses or even misleads customers of a product/service but also undermines the effectiveness of researching, managing and teaching UX. Diverse ideas have been generated in scientific activities that aim to develop a common understanding about the meaning and scope of UX. It is plausible, with sound methodologies, to converge these divergences, driving the UX community closer to a common definition and integrated views of UX. This SIG tackles this challenge by systematically assembling a set of existing definitions and viewpoints of UX and collecting opinions on them from known UX experts/researchers and general CHI'08 attendees.

The present aim was to develop a fully automatic feature-based method for expression-invariant detection of facial landmarks from still facial images. It is a continuation of our earlier work where we found that some certain muscle contractions made a deteriorating effect on the feature-based landmark detection especially in the lower face. Taking into account this crucial facial behavior, we introduced improvements to the method that allowed facial landmarks to be fully automatically detected from expressive images of high complexity. In the method, information on local oriented edges was utilized to compose edge maps of the image at two levels of resolution. The landmark candidates resulted from this step were further verified by edge orientation matching. We used knowledge on face geometry to find the proper spatial arrangement of the candidates. The results obtained demonstrated a high overall performance of the method while testing a wide range official displays.

Rhizomer is a generic semantic metadata browser and editor. It is based on "classic" HTML paradigms (table, form, etc.) in order to provide an easy and accessible user experience. For end-users, it looks like the web pages they are used to deal with. However, the semantics that lay behind are used to improve the user experience through an AJAX-enhanced web interface. The user interface is fed by a metadata storage abstraction layer, which offers a SPARQL endpoint and implements the DESCRIBE SPARQL primitive in order to improve the usability of the resulting metadata fragments. The metadata component is combined with a wiki engine that helps managing the content intended for human consumption. Altogether, both components build a simple yet powerful platform for Semantic Web portals.

Over time, many people accumulate extensive email repositories that contain detailed information about their personal communication patterns and relationships. We present three visualizations that capture hierarchical, correlational, and temporal patterns present in user's email repositories. These patterns are difficult to discover using traditional interfaces and are valuable for navigation and reflection on social relationships and communication history. We interviewed users with diverse email habits and found that they were able to interpret these images and could find interesting features that were not evident to them through their standard email interfaces. The images also capture a wide range of variation in email practices. These results suggest that information visualizations of personal communications have value for end-users and analysts alike.

Since the early works in the W3C Semantic Web initiative, RDF has been generically indicated as a potential basis for legally binding exchange of semantically structured information. In this paper we introduce and detail a procedural framework that could support such legally binding exchange. The proposed methodology is based on a Copyright Ontology, a copyright conceptualisation which includes concrete rights expression languages like MPEG-21 REL, and RDF model decomposition based on the Minimum Self Contained Graph theory. The procedure seems particularly useful when applied to P2P semantic web scenarios.
