Research in Media Informatics on Advanced User Interfaces
Everyday we are faced with diverse technologies that we either actively/knowingly or passively/unknowingly use. Furthermore, interaction has become more than just pressing buttons. Nowadays Digital Systems can recognize our mobile devices that we are carrying with us, our voice and gestures. They have become assistive devices rather than pure computing machines. With this change we do not only have new possibilities for new and innovative interactions, but also our sense for interaction and design – especially the combination or interplay of both – is different. Now we want to have systems that do not only perform well, but also look great. These demands require thorough Research in Media Informatics on Advanced User Interfaces... As a matter of this, the book covers Advanced User Interfaces from different perspectives. It presents concrete examples of applications, methods and frameworks as well as discussions about latest arising topics in the field of user experience design and interaction design.
Framework for the Integration of Mobile Device Features in PLM
Currently, companies have covered their business processes with stationary workstations while mobile business applications have limited relevance. Companies can cover their overall business processes more time-efficiently and cost-effectively when they integrate mobile users in workflows using mobile device features. The objective is a framework that can be used to model and control business applications for PLM processes using mobile device features to allow a totally new user experience.
Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Addressing Diversity
This three-volume set LNCS 5614-5616 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction - Addressing Diversity, UAHCI 2009, held as Part of HCI International 2009, in San Diego, CA, USA, in July 2009, jointly with 8 other thematically similar conferences. The revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of Human-Computer Interaction, addressing major advances in universal access namely interaction and support for people with sensory impairments, older users and technology interaction and support for people with cognitive impairments, design knowledge and approaches for accessibility and universal access.
FabLab
Ten years after the first FabLab (a so called fabrication laboratory) was opened at MIT, more than 120 FabLabs exist all over the world. Today, it is time to look back at a decade of FabLab activities. This book shows how small production devices, such as laser cutters and 3D printers, and dedicated educationists, researchers and FabLab practitioners transform the fields of learning, work, production, design, maker culture, law and science on a global scale. In this composition experts from various countries, such as Germany, India or the USA, and distinguished academic institutions, such as MIT or Stanford University, discuss theoretical questions and introduce practical approaches concerning FabLab activities.

Challenges and Solutions in Smart Learning
This book focuses on the interplay between pedagogy and technology, and their fusion for the advancement of smart learning environments. It discusses various components of this interplay, including learning and assessment paradigms, social factors and policies, emerging technologies, innovative application of mature technologies, transformation of curriculum and teaching behavior, transformation of administration, best infusion practices, and piloting of new ideas. The book provides an archival forum for researchers, academics, practitioners and industry professionals interested and/or engaged in reforming teaching and learning methods by promoting smart learning environments. It also facilitates discussions and constructive dialogue among various stakeholders on the limitations of existing learning environments, the need for reform, innovative uses of emerging pedagogical approaches and technologies, and sharing and promoting best practices, leading to the evolution, design and implementation of smart learning environments.
