Music information retrieval: conceptuel framework, annotation and user behaviour
… retrieval system appealing and useful to the user, more effort should be spent on constructing systems that both operate directly on the encoding of the physical energy of music and are flexible with respect to users’ experiences. This thesis is based on a user-centred approach, taking into …

A simulation model of road user behaviour and traffic conflicts at unsignalized intersections
… traffic situations and understand the driver's behaviour at these situations. The Author rejected the use of pure gap acceptance criteria to describe driver's behaviour at unsignalized intersections. As an alternative, a combination of some aspects of the gap acceptance criteria and the effect …

Using Neuroaesthetics to inform the design of digital user interfaces and influence user behaviour
… the profound impact of aesthetic experiences on user interactions with digital user interfaces. Grounded in the fundamental question of whether EEG can effectively gauge users' emotional responses to digital interface elements, this study employs a multifaceted approach encompassing literature …

An Activity Based Workspace Project: A study to explore how actual user behaviour reflects original design intention
… benefits and the potential to enhance specific behaviours. Human behaviour can be unpredictable, it is influenced by a diverse range of factors, i.e. attitude, emotion, culture, values, accordingly, users’ perceptions, use and needs are often not aligned with the presuppositions and expectations …

Energy efficiency improvements in traditional buildings: exploring the role of user behaviour in the hygrothermal performance of solid walls.
… the internal boundary is heavily influenced by users, understanding their behaviour is essential to predict the outcome of energy retrofit measures more accurately. The effect of user behaviour on energy demand has been extensively investigated; however, its impact on the hygrothermal …

Investigating the factors affecting the net benefits and change in user behaviour in technology push scenarios in Smart cities
… factors affecting the net benefits and change in user behaviour in a technology push scenario in Smart Cities. Design/methodology/approach –The research was conducted using a quantitative approach. Hence, quantitative data was obtained by devising and distributing a questionnaire adapted from the …

Energy Efficiency in Office Computing Environments
… uses Markov processes to evaluate the impact of user behaviour on the suggested architecture. Finally, the thesis develops a discrete-event simulation that enables the simulation and evaluation of office computing environments with respect to varying virtualization approaches, resource management …

A method for analysing the traffic process in a safety perspective
… assessment concept to also include normal road user behaviour, thus not only exceptional behaviours such as accidents and serious conflicts. The goal is to provide a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of safety related road user behaviour in order to better understand the …

Multimodal, Embodied and Location-Aware Interaction
… equipped with inertial control that enables users to actively explore and navigate through an area in an augmented physical space, incorporating and displaying uncertainty resulting from inaccurate sensing and unknown user intention. The system propagates uncertainty appropriately via Monte …

Hardware and User Profiling for Multi-factor Authentication
Most software applications rely on the use of user-name and passwords to authenticate end users. This form of authentication, although used ubiquitously, is widely considered unreliable due to the users inability to keep them secret; passwords being prone to dictionary or rainbow-table attacks; as …

Synthesizing play: exploring the use of artificial intelligence to evaluate game user experience
… of different experiences. The field of games user research (GUR) is dedicated to investigating and optimizing user experience in games. Such inquiries are of both commercial and academic importance, enhancing product quality and our understanding of human behaviour. A common GUR methodology is …

Improving target acquisition in Web applications with link prediction
Web application users spend considerable time clicking on hyperlinks and buttons to complete frequent tasks. Individual application developers can optimize their interfaces to improve typical usage; however, no single task model will accurately reflect the needs of a wide audience of users. This …

User Intention Modelling and Intention Recognition in Games using World State Indicators
… on two main areas. First we develop a model of user intentions in games. That model defines various concepts related to player behaviour in (computer) games and interactive environments, such as actions, goals, plans and intentions. Additionally our model shows the relationship between those …

E-book adoption in academic and research libraries
… based on technology adoption and information behaviour theory, the study sought explanations of adoption behaviours in the population. In a triangular research design, that included a survey, ECU users were invited to self-describe their own patterns of e-book behaviour. Survey data was used …

Examining a technology acceptance model of internet usage by academics within Thai business schools
… acceptance in order to predict and explain user behaviour with technology to account for rapid change in both technologies and their environments. Each theory or model has been proposed with different sets of determinants and moderators and most of them have been developed in the U.S. It is …

A Machine Learning Framework for Securing Patient Records
… patterns in EPR data to be extracted to profile user behaviour and device interactions in order to detect and visualise anomalous activities. Employing a HILML model ensures that inappropriate activity is investigated and the data analytics is continuously improving. The novel framework is able …

Semantic Selection of Internet Sources through SWRL Enabled OWL Ontologies
… unlikely that in modern information age, where users are producer and consumer of information, the amount of data and information generated would decrease. Furthermore, when managing IO, users are confined to the algorithms and policies of commercial Search Engines and Recommender Systems (RSs), …

The impact of highly interactive workloads on video-on-demand systems
… for all modern interactive video streams. Users expect support for higher levels of interactivity such as fast forward and rewind or the ability to arbitrary seek within their media quickly and efficiently. By conducting user studies we have observed start-to-finish is not applicable to …

Digital copyright law: exploring the changing interface between copyright and regulation in the digital environment
… regulatory factors may positively encourage users to behave, and consume in ways that may not be directly governed by copyright. The issues digital technologies have posed for rightsholders in the music industry are not addressed, or even potentially addressable directly through law, because …

Using Spatial Analysis in an Evidence Informed Approach to Community Engagement in Design
… two such limitations - a disconnect between the user and the architect; and a lack of credible rationalisation and evidence to address this complexity through design decision making. In order to address these limitations, an integrated design approach is suggested, that uses spatial analysis in …
