Web Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Web Engineering, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in June 2011. The 22 revised full papers and 15 revised poster papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers topics cover a broad range of areas, namely, the Semantic Web, Web Services, Mashups, Web 2.0, Web quality, Web development, etc.
Play Matters
Why play is a productive, expressive way of being human, a form of understanding, and a fundamental part of our well-being. What do we think about when we think about play? A pastime? Games? Childish activities? The opposite of work? Think again: If we are happy and well rested, we may approach even our daily tasks in a playful way, taking the attitude of play without the activity of play. So what, then, is play? In Play Matters, Miguel Sicart argues that to play is to be in the world; playing is a form of understanding what surrounds us and a way of engaging with others. Play goes beyond games; it is a mode of being human. We play games, but we also play with toys, on playgrounds, with tech...
Open Hypermedia Systems and Structural Computing
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems, OHS-6, and the 2nd International Workshop on Structural Computing, SC-2, held at the 11th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia in San Antonio, Texas, USA in May/June 2000. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. All current issues on open hypertext systems and structural computing are addressed.
Web Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2014, held in Toulouse, France, in July 2014. The 20 full research papers, 13 late breaking result papers, 15 poster papers, and 4 contributions to the PhD symposium presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. Moreover 3 tutorials and 3 workshops are presented. The papers focus on six research tracks, namely cross-media and mobile Web applications, HCI and the Web, Modelling and Engineering Web applications, quality aspects of Web applications, social Web applications, Web applications composition and mashups.
Database and Expert Systems Applications
The Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA) conferences bring together researchers and practitioners from all over the world to exchange ideas, experiences and opinions in a friendly and stimulating environment. The papers are at once a record of what has been achieved and the first steps towards shaping the future of information systems. DEXA covers a broad field, and all aspects of database, knowledge base and related technologies and their applications are represented. Once again there were a good number of submissions: 241 papers were submitted and of these the programme committee selected 103 to be presented. DEXA’99 took place in Florence and was the tenth conference in the s...
Hypertext semiotics in the commercialized Internet
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Building on approaches that have succeeded in applying semiotic principles and methodology to computer science, such as computer semiotics, computational semiotics, and semiotic interface engineering, this dissertation establishes a systematic account for those researchers who are ready to look at hypertext from a semiotic point of view. Rather than a new hypertext model, this work presents the prolegomena of a theory of hypertext semiotics, interlacing the existing models with the findings of semiotic research, on all levels of the textual, aural, visual, tactile and olfactory channels. A short history of hypertext, from its prehistory to today's state of the art sys...

Participatory Design
This book introduces Participatory Design to researchers and students in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Grounded in four strong commitments, the book discusses why and how Participatory Design is important today. The book aims to provide readers with a practical resource, introducing them to the central practices of Participatory Design research as well as to key references. This is done from the perspective of Scandinavian Participatory Design. The book is meant for students, researchers, and practitioners who are interested in Participatory Design for research studies, assignments in HCI classes, or as part of an industry project. It is structured around 11 questions arranged in 3 mai...
ECSCW 2011: Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 24-28 September 2011, Aarhus Denmark
This volume presents the proceedings of ECSCW 2011, the 12th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work. Each conference offers an occasion to critically review our research field, which has been multidisciplinary and committed to high scientific standards, both theoretical and methodological, from its beginning. The papers this year focus on work and the enterprise as well as on the challenges of involving citizens, patients, etc. into collaborative settings. The papers embrace new theories, and discuss known ones. They contribute to the discussions on the blurring boundaries between home and work and on the ways we think about and study work. They introduce recent and emergent technologies, and study known social and collaborative technologies, such as wikis and video messages. Classical settings in computer supported cooperative work, e.g. meetings and standardization are also looked upon anew. With contributions from all over the world, the papers in interesting ways help focus on the European perspective in our community. The 22 papers selected for this conference deal with and reflect the lively debate currently ongoing in our field of research.
