A graphical tool for designing interactive video cognitive rehabilitation therapies

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) has become one of the most common causes of neurological disability in developed countries. Cognitive disorders result in a loss of independence and therefore patients? quality of life. Cognitive rehabilitation aims to promote patients? skills to achieve their highest degree of personal autonomy. New technologies such as interactive video, whereby real situations of daily living are reproduced within a controlled virtual environment, enable the design of personalized therapies with a high level of generalization and a great ecological validity. This paper presents a graphical tool that allows neuropsychologists to design, modify, and configure interactive video therapeutic activities, through the combination of graphic and natural language. The tool has been validated creating several Activities of Daily Living and a preliminary usability evaluation has been performed showing a good clinical acceptance in the definition of complex interactive video therapies for cognitive rehabilitation.

NFC based remote control of services for interactive spaces

Ubiquitous computing (one person, many computers) is the third era in the history of computing. It follows the mainframe era (many people, one computer) and the PC era (one person, one computer). Ubiquitous computing empowers people to communicate with services by interacting with their surroundings. Most of these so called smart environments contain sensors sensing users’ actions and try to predict the users’ intentions and necessities based on sensor data. The main drawback of this approach is that the system might perform unexpected or unwanted actions, making the user feel out of control. In this master thesis we propose a different procedure based on Interactive Spaces: instead of predicting users’ intentions based on sensor data, the system reacts to users’ explicit predefined actions. To that end, we present REACHeS, a server platform which enables communication among services, resources and users located in the same environment. With REACHeS, a user controls services and resources by interacting with everyday life objects and using a mobile phone as a mediator between himself/herself, the system and the environment. REACHeS’ interfaces with a user are built upon NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. NFC tags are attached to objects in the environment. A tag stores commands that are sent to services when a user touches the tag with his/her NFC enabled device. The prototypes and usability tests presented in this thesis show the great potential of NFC to build such user interfaces.

Case study on mobile applications UX: effect of the usage of a crosss-platform development framework

Cross-platform development frameworks for mobile applications promise important advantages in cost cuttings and easy maintenance, posing as a very good option for organizations interested in the design of mobile applications for several platforms. Given that platform conventions are especially important for the User eXperience (UX) of mobile applications, the usage of framework where the same code defines the behavior of the app in different platforms could have negative impact in the UX. The objetive of this study is comparing the cross-platform and the native approach for being able to determine if the selected development approach has any impact on the users in terms of UX. To be able to set a base line under this subject, study on cross-platform frameworks was performed to select the most appropriate one from a UX point of view. In order to achieve the objectives of this work, two development teams have developed two versions of the same application; one using framework that generates Android and iOS versions automatically, and another team developing native versions of the same application. The alternative versions for each platform have been evaluated with 37 users with a combination of a laboratory usability test and a longitudinal study. The results show that differences are minimal in the Android version, but in iOS, even if a reasonable good UX can be obtained with the usage of this framework by an UX-conscious design team, a higher level of UX can be obtained directly developing in native code.

Terminological Importation for Adapting Reusable Knowledge Representation Components in the KSM Environment

This paper describes the adaptation approach of reusable knowledge representation components used in the KSM environment for the formulation and operationalisation of structured knowledge models. Reusable knowledge representation components in KSM are called primitives of representation. A primitive of representation provides: (1) a knowledge representation formalism (2) a set of tasks that use this knowledge together with several problem-solving methods to carry out these tasks (3) a knowledge acquisition module that provides different services to acquire and validate this knowledge (4) an abstract terminology about the linguistic categories included in the representation language associated to the primitive. Primitives of representation usually are domain independent. A primitive of representation can be adapted to support knowledge in a given domain by importing concepts from this domain. The paper describes how this activity can be carried out by mean of a terminological importation. Informally, a terminological importation partially populates an abstract terminology with concepts taken from a given domain. The information provided by the importation can be used by the acquisition and validation facilities to constraint the classes of knowledge that can be described using the representation formalism according to the domain knowledge. KSM provides the LINK-S language to specify terminological importation from a domain terminology to an abstract one. These terminologies are described in KSM by mean of the CONCEL language. Terminological importation is used to adapt reusable primitives of representation in order to increase the usability degree of such components in these domains. In addition, two primitives of representation can share a common vocabulary by importing common domain CONCEL terminologies (conceptual vocabularies). It is a necessary condition to make possible the interoperability between different, heterogeneous knowledge representation components in the framework of complex knowledge - based architectures.

Gestión de configuración y línea de productos para mejorar el proceso experimental en ingeniería del software

La Ingeniería del Software (IS) Empírica adopta el método científico a la IS para facilitar la generación de conocimiento. Una de las técnicas empleadas, es la realización de experimentos. Para que el conocimiento obtenido experimentalmente adquiera el nivel de madurez necesario para su posterior uso, es necesario que los experimentos sean replicados. La existencia de múltiples replicaciones de un mismo experimento conlleva la existencia de numerosas versiones de los distintos productos generados durante la realización de cada replicación. Actualmente existe un gran descontrol sobre estos productos, ya que la administración se realiza de manera informal. Esto causa problemas a la hora de planificar nuevas replicaciones, o intentar obtener información sobre las replicaciones ya realizadas. Para conocer con detalle la dimensión del problema a resolver, se estudia el estado actual de la gestión de materiales experimentales y su uso en replicaciones, así como de las herramientas de gestión de materiales experimentales. El estudio concluye que ninguno de los enfoques estudiados proporciona una solución al problema planteado. Este trabajo persigue como objetivo mejorar la administración de los materiales experimentales y replicaciones de experimentos en IS para dar soporte a la replicación de experimentos. Para satisfacer este objetivo, se propone la adopción en experimentación de los paradigmas de Gestión de Configuración del Software (GCS) y Línea de Producto Software (LPS). Para desarrollar la propuesta se decide utilizar el método de investigación acción (en inglés action research). Para adoptar la GCS a experimentación, se comienza realizando un estudio del proceso experimental como transformación de productos; a continuación, se realiza una adopción de conceptos fundamentada en los procesos del desarrollo software y de experimentación; finalmente, se desarrollan un conjunto de instrumentos, que se incorporan a un Plan de Gestión de Configuración de Experimentos (PGCE). Para adoptar la LPS a experimentación, se comienza realizando un estudio de los conceptos, actividades y fases que fundamentan la LPS; a continuación, se realiza una adopción de los conceptos; finalmente, se desarrollan o adoptan las técnicas, simbología y modelos para dar soporte a las fases de la Línea de Producto para Experimentación (LPE). La propuesta se valida mediante la evaluación de su: viabilidad, flexibilidad, usabilidad y satisfacción. La viabilidad y flexibilidad se evalúan mediante la instanciación del PGCE y de la LPE en experimentos concretos en IS. La usabilidad se evalúa mediante el uso de la propuesta para la generación de las instancias del PGCE y de LPE. La satisfacción evalúa la información sobre el experimento que contiene el PGCE y la LPE. Los resultados de la validación de la propuesta muestran mejores resultados en los aspectos de usabilidad y satisfacción a los experimentadores. ABSTRACT Empirical software engineering adapts the scientific method to software engineering (SE) in order to facilitate knowledge generation. Experimentation is one of the techniques used. For the knowledge generated experimentally to acquire the level of maturity necessary for later use, the experiments have to be replicated. As the same experiment is replicated more than once, there are numerous versions of all the products generated during a replication. These products are generally administered informally without control. This is troublesome when it comes to planning new replications or trying to gather information on replications conducted in the past. In order to grasp the size of the problem to be solved, this research examines the current state of the art of the management and use of experimental materials in replications, as well as the tools managing experimental materials. The study concludes that none of the analysed approaches provides a solution to the stated problem. The aim of this research is to improve the administration of SE experimental materials and experimental replications in support of experiment replication. To do this, we propose the adaptation of software configuration management (SCM) and software product line (SPL) paradigms to experimentation. The action research method was selected in order to develop this proposal. The first step in the adaptation of the SCM to experimentation was to analyse the experimental process from the viewpoint of the transformation of products. The concepts were then adapted based on software development and experimentation processes. Finally, a set of instruments were developed and added to an experiment configuration management plan (ECMP). The first step in the adaptation of the SPL to experimentation is to analyse the concepts, activities and phases underlying the SPL. The concepts are then adapted. Finally, techniques, symbols and models are developed or adapted in support of the experimentation product line (EPL) phases. The proposal is validated by evaluating its feasibility, flexibility, usability and satisfaction. Feasibility and flexibility are evaluated by instantiating the ECMP and the EPL in specific SE experiments. Usability is evaluated by using the proposal to generate the instances of the ECMP and EPL. The results of the validation of the proposal show that the proposal performs better with respect to usability issues and experimenter satisfaction.

La crítica poética como instrumento del proyecto de arquitectura

Vivimos en un tiempo de referencias múltiples, de inquietudes en todos los ámbitos -también en el de la arquitectura-, en el que se trata de superar el peso de la historia; donde los apegos sobran y lo que interesa son las posibilidades que nos depara el presente activo. El papel de la crítica de la arquitectura se cuestiona a diario. Los nuevos media son contenedores en actualización continua y el texto ha sido sustituido inevitablemente por la imagen y la acción. En este contexto, la tesis cuestiona por que el nuevo sentido de la crítica sea el de operador que acompaña al proceso del proyecto arquitectónico. Desde el proyecto, sobre el proyecto, para el proyecto, en el proyecto, hacia el proyecto, con el proyecto. Acometiendo la acción crítica desde la complejidad de lo arquitectónico, sobre la diversidad, para la pluralidad, en lo colectivo, hacia la simultaneidad en la síntesis. Para ello, la tesis se apoya en la noción de poética –como complejidad y síntesis interna- y en cinco sistemas arquitectónicos cuya interacción no puede ignorarse –campo, programa, materia, geometría y morfología- para renovar y actualizar la usabilidad de un método crítico –el método Mirregan-Todorov- que ha obtenido reconocidos resultados; pero cuya pesada estructura limita en gran medida su campo de acción y operativa. En este sentido, no se trata ni de una tesis meramente analítica, ni de determinar unos paradigmas arquitectónicos para este siglo. Esta investigación reformula el papel de la crítica de la arquitectura hoy, y parte del orden –como autoorganización- abierto de la crítica poética para proponer una línea de trabajo sobre la interacción de sistemas arquitectónicos de una manera sinérgica y a disposición del proceso de proyecto. Disposición que lleva, como proposición final, a plantear esta actitud como instrumento docente y pedagógico de la asignatura de proyectos arquitectónicos, ya que posibilita la obtención de una serie de cartografías abiertas reflejo de los múltiples agentes y factores de influencia del presente que propician una visión compleja, pero abordable, del proyecto como totalidad. ABSTRACT We live in a time of multiple references, of concerns in all areas -also in architecture-, which tries to overcome the burden of history. A time where the attachments remain and what matters are the possibilities active present lies. The role of criticism of architecture is questioned daily. New media are continuously updated containers, and the text has been inevitably replaced by the image and the action. In this context, the thesis questions that the new sense of criticism is to be the operator that accompanies the architectural design process. From the project, on the project, for the project, in the project, to the project, with the project. An operator which undertakes the critical work from the architectural complexity, on the diversity, plurality, in the collective, to the simultaneous synthesis. To do this, the thesis is based on the notion of poetic -as complexity and internal synthesis- and in five architectural systems whose interaction cannot be ignored -field, program, material, geometry and morphology- to renovate and upgrade the usability of a critical method –the Mirregan-Todorov method- which has obtained recognized results, but whose heavy structure limits greatly its scope and operational. In this sense, it is not a purely analytical thesis. It neither tries to identify any architectural paradigms for this century. This research reformulates the role of criticism of architecture today. It runs from the open orderliness –as self-organization- of the poetic criticism to propose a line of work on the interaction of architectural systems in a synergistic manner and available to the project process. Since this attitude enables the production of a series of open mapping which reflect multiple current factors and agents of influence, this arrangement leads, as a final proposition, to raise the poetic criticism as a teaching and educational instrument of the subject of architectural design, where those maps lead to a complex, but approachable, vision of the project as a whole.

Sistema de e-learning en el entorno AFRICA BUILD Portal

Diversos estudios consideran que las claves para el desarrollo técnico, social y económico de los países en desarrollo, y en especial en África, son la educación, la investigación y la innovación. No obstante, en el ámbito sanitario en particular, la formación e investigación en África sigue siendo escasa por diversos motivos. Por un lado, los investigadores africanos encuentran dificultades añadidas para obtener financiación frente a investigadores en países de desarrollo. Y, por otro lado, los investigadores no disponen de las herramientas y tecnologías adecuadas para acceder a información relevante para su trabajo. En este contexto, el proyecto AFRICA BUILD tiene como principal objetivo mejorar y fomentar la investigación y educación sanitaria en África a través de las nuevas tecnologías. Uno de los resultados principales de este proyecto es el AFRICA BUILD Portal (ABP), que pretende ser un punto de encuentro para los investigadores africanos, donde podrán encontrar un amplio abanico de herramientas que les permita no sólo mejorar su educación, sino compartir conocimientos con otros investigadores. Este portal, que está actualmente en desarrollo, pretende fomentar la comunicación entre instituciones africanas y les proveerá herramientas biomédicas avanzadas. En este Trabajo de Fin de Grado se han marcado como principal objetivo la mejora del sistema de e-learning que existía en el ABP. El nuevo sistema será: (i) más potente, óptimo y rico en funcionalidades, (ii) tendrá una importante base social permitiendo a los usuarios aportar información y compartir conocimiento, y (iii) será distribuido y escalable, capaz de integrar distintos gestores de contenidos didácticos como fuentes de información. Los resultados obtenidos son positivos y el nuevo sistema de aprendizaje ha mejorado la usabilidad, funcionalidad y apariencia del anterior. Para concluir, la herramienta posee aún un gran margen de mejora, pero gracias al trabajo realizado el sistema de e-learning es ahora más social, distribuido, escalable e innovador. ---ABSTRACT---Several studies find that the keys to the technical, social and economic development of developing countries, especially in Africa, are education, research and innovation. However, in the health sector in particular, training and research in Africa remains low for various reasons. On the one hand, African researchers experience additional difficulties for funding against researchers in developing countries. And on the other hand, researchers do not have the right tools and technologies to access information relevant to their work. In this context, the AFRICA BUILD project's main objective is to improve and enhance research and health education in Africa through new technologies. One of the main results of this project is the AFRICA BUILD Portal (ABP), which aims to be a meeting point for African researchers, where they can find a wide range of tools that allows them to not only improve their education but to share knowledge with other researchers. This portal, which is currently under development, aims to promote communication between African institutions and will provide advanced biomedical tools. The main objective of this Final Year Project is the improvement of the former elearning system that already existed in the ABP. The new system will be: (i) more powerful, richer in features, (ii) will have an important social base allowing users to contribute information and knowledge sharing; and (iii) will be distributed and scalable, capable of integrating different learning management systems as sources of information. The final results obtained are fairly positive and the new e-learning system has improved its usability, functionality and appearance of the former. To conclude, the tool still has much room for improvement, but thanks to the new features of the improved elearning system has become more social, distributed, scalable and innovative.

Desarrollo de funcionalidad para un marco orientado al razonamiento sobre algoritmos criptográficos

La sociedad depende hoy más que nunca de la tecnología, pero la inversión en seguridad es escasa y los riesgos de usar sistemas informáticos son cada día mayores. La criptografía es una de las piedras angulares de la seguridad en este ámbito, por lo que recientemente se ha dedicado una cantidad considerable de recursos al desarrollo de herramientas que ayuden en la evaluación y mejora de los algoritmos criptográficos. EasyCrypt es uno de estos sistemas, desarrollado recientemente en el Instituto IMDEA Software en respuesta a la creciente necesidad de disponer de herramientas fiables de verificación de criptografía. A lo largo de este trabajo se abordará el diseño e implementación de funcionalidad adicional para EasyCrypt. En la primera parte de documento se discutirá la importancia de disponer de una forma de especificar el coste de algoritmos a la hora de desarrollar pruebas que dependan del mismo, y se modificará el lenguaje de EasyCrypt para permitir al usuario abordar un mayor espectro de problemas. En la segunda parte se tratará el problema de la usabilidad de EasyCrypt y se intentará mejorar dentro de lo posible desarrollando una interfaz web que permita usar el sistema fáacilmente y sin necesidad de tener instaladas todas las herramientas que necesita EasyCrypt. ---ABSTRACT---Today, society depends more than ever on technology, but the investment in security is still scarce and the risk of using computer systems is constantly increasing. Cryptography is one of the cornerstones of security, so there has been a considerable amount of efort devoted recently to the development of tools oriented to the evaluation and improvement of cryptographic algorithms. One of these tools is EasyCrypt, developed recently at IMDEA Software Institute in response to the increasing need of reliable cryptography verification tools. Throughout this document we will design and implement two diferent EasyCrypt features. In the first part of the document we will consider the importance of having a way to specify the cost of algorithms in order to develop proofs that depend on it, and then we will modify the EasyCrypt's language so that the user can tackle a wider range of problems. In the second part we will assess EasyCrypt's poor usability and try to improve it by developing a web interface which enables the user to use it easily and without having to install the whole EasyCrypt toolchain.

Planificación de usabilidad en el desarrollo de una aplicación móvil de microblogging

En la actualidad se ha experimentado un fuerte desarrollo en el campo de los ordenadores, teléfonos móviles y otros dispositivos, que hacen posible que la información sea más accesible para todo el mundo. Además, se han creado nuevas vías por la cual transmitir información, como las redes sociales. En especial, destaca Twitter, que posee millones de usuarios que se conectan cada día. Asimismo, los periodistas reconocen la importancia de Twitter y la facilidad y rapidez que ofrece para publicar información hace que esta red social sea ampliamente usada por muchísimos periodistas. En este contexto es donde se enmarca el proyecto “Red de microblogging para periodistas sobre dispositivos iOS” de la cátedra UPM-­‐El Mundo de comunicación digital que tiene como finalidad encontrar una solución nueva que integre las ventajas que nos proporciona la nueva tecnología, la rapidez y facilidad que tiene escribir algo en Twitter y que el periódico se beneficie de todo esto, así como el periodista que escriba la noticia. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, la usabilidad del sistema que se desarrolle es una parte fundamental, ya que tan importante como es la funcionalidad de un sistema es que los usuarios realmente lo usen y se sientan cómodos con él. Se ha llevado a cabo la planificación de las técnicas de usabilidad a aplicar con ayuda de la herramienta “Usability Planner”, considerando las restricciones concretas que se dan en el proyecto. A continuación se han aplicado las técnicas elegidas de forma integrada con el resto de actividades de desarrollo del proyecto. Entre estas técnicas destaca la realización de una evaluación de usabilidad, que ha mostrado que el producto ha cumplido en gran medida los objetivos de usabilidad establecidos, y los usuarios se han mostrado ampliamente satisfechos con los resultados obtenidos ---ABSTRACT---Nowadays, a strong growth in the field of personal computers, mobile phones and other devices has been experienced. This growth makes the information to be more reachable for everyone. In addition, new ways of transmitting information have been created, such as social networks, especially Twitter, which owns millions of users. Moreover, the journalists recognize the importance of Twitter, and its speed and ease to use and publish information makes Twitter widely used by them. This is the context in which the project “Red de microblogging para periodistas sobre dispositivos iOS” of the cathedra UPM-­‐El Mundo de comunicación digital takes part, whose aim is to find a new solution to incorporate the advantages of the new technology, the speed and the ease of Twitter to allow that newspapers, as well as journalists, are able to take benefit of it. In order to achieve it, the usability of the system which is going to be developed is an essential part, because the functionality of a system is as important as it is that the users really use and feel comfortable with the system. And in the latter is where this work takes part, the design and the evaluation of the usability of the system which is going to be developed. A planification of usability techniques has been performed with the support of the tool “Usability Planner”. There are a wide range of usability techniques and its choice in order to apply them into a project is not an easy task. Furthermore, the chosen techniques have been applied integrated with all the other activities of the project. Finally, a usability evaluation has been executed and it has shown that the established usability objectives have been accomplished and the users are widely satisfied with the project.
