As one of the most popular social media platforms today, Twitter provides people with an effective way to communicate and interact with each other. Through these interactions, influence among users gradually emerges and changes people's opinions. Although previous work has studied interpersonal influence as the probability of activating others during information diffusion, they ignore an important...
In the last decades, education has been supported by technology in order to reach more people and produce significant benefits to teaching and learning. Part of the success of technology and education is due to the capacity technology can adapt teaching and learning to different contexts. More recently, we noticed an increase in the use of game elements (gamification) in educational environments,...
In the context of interactive and automated vehicles, driver situation awareness becomes an increasingly important consideration for future traffic systems, whether it concerns the current status of the vehicle or the surrounding environment. Here, we present a simulator study investigating whether the apparent intelligence — i.e. intelligence as perceived by the driver, which is distinct from how...
In this paper we present an eye tracking study aimed at examining learners' behaviors while searching for the right answer in multiple-choice tests. In particular, the analysis is focused on a geometry problem characterized by four graphical solutions. The data gathered through several experiments have allowed us to find interesting relationships between answers and testers' performance (especially...
The security of railway and mass-transit systems is increasingly dependant on the effectiveness of integrated Security Management Systems (SMS), which are meant to detect threats and to provide operators with information required for alarm verification purposes. In order to lower the false alarm rate and improve the detection reliability of threat scenarios, event correlation capabilities need to...
Due to the context of pervasive computing with time-sensitive, the system scheduling management module must support real-time scheduling of context-aware. When a context information acting on the high-level application, may make other emergency contexts in a wait state which is not conducive to real-time systems and efficient implementation in ubiquitous computing environment. In order to solve this...
