Analysis of visitorsâ mobility patterns through random walk in the Louvre Museum
This paper proposes a random walk model to analyze visitors' mobility
patterns in a large museum. Visitors' available time makes their visiting
styles different, resulting in dissimilarity in the order and number of visited
places and in path sequence length. We analyze all this by comparing a
simulation model and observed data, which provide us the strength of the
visitors' mobility patterns. The obtained results indicate that shorter
stay-type visitors exhibit stronger patterns than those with the longer
stay-type, confirming that the former are more selective than the latter in
terms of their visitation type.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 4 table
Mappe media citt\ue0. Territorializzazioni e orizzonti di progetto nell'epoca dei Big Data
La ricerca identifica la relazione tra nuovi sistemi di comunicazione e strategie di progetto analizzando le implicazioni per la pratica
progettuale attraverso le diverse categorie di controllo dei dispositivi spaziali che oggi vengono utilizzati per la mappatura dei
territori. L\u2019attenzione \ue8 rivolta alla mappatura dei luoghi soggetti a fenomeni emergenziali come terremoti e alluvioni.
L\u2019oggetto della ricerca sono quindi le citt\ue0 mutevoli: sistemi colpiti da fenomeni calamitosi, come dissesto causato dall\u2019attivit\ue0 fluviale
e torrentizia, che hanno caratteristiche estremamente variabili e danno luogo a processi complessi, i cui parametri non sempre
risultano facilmente individuabili.
L\u2019analisi dell\u2019evoluzione spazio-temporale degli eventi e dei loro effetti, pu\uf2 essere studiata attraverso l\u2019utilizzo di un sistema informativo integrato che riconsideri le forme di mappatura e di analisi del territorio e che riporti l\u2019esperienza umana degli eventi, la simbolizzazione dei luoghi e la leggibilit\ue0 del territorio, fruibile non solo da parte degli specialisti ma anche dei cittadini. Una redazione cartografica real-time, che permetta un legame
stretto tra le tecnologie satellitari di monitoraggio e la condivisione di esperienze dei luoghi abitati attraverso i nuovi mezzi di comunicazione, apre ai cittadini la possibilit\ue0 di partecipare alla redazione della cartografia di progetto
Analyzing of Gender Behaviors from Paths Using Process Mining: A Shopping Mall Application
[EN] The study presents some results of customer pathsÂż analysis in a shopping mall. Bluetooth-based technology is used to collect data. The event log containing spatiotemporal information is analyzed with process mining. Process mining is a technique that enables one to see the whole process contrary to data-centric methods. The use of process mining can provide a readily-understandable view of the customer paths. We installed iBeacon devices, a Bluetooth-based positioning system, in the shopping mall. During December 2017 and January and February 2018, close to 8000 customer data were captured. We aim to investigate customer behaviors regarding gender by using their paths. We can determine the gender of customers if they go to the menÂżs bathroom or womenÂżs bathroom. Since the study has a comprehensive scope, we focused on male and female customersÂż behaviors. This study shows that male and female customers have different behaviors. Their duration and paths, in general, are not similar. In addition, the study shows that the process mining technique is a viable way to analyze customer behavior using Bluetooth-based technology.Dogan, O.; Bayo-Monton, JL.; FernĂĄndez Llatas, C.; Oztaysi, B.

Better museum maps: an empirical study comparing the appeal and effectiveness of graphic design approaches
Visitor maps are a key resource that many people use to facilitate their visit to a
museum. This thesis sets out to understand how such maps are used by visitors,
to investigate the range of graphic design approaches and elements that are
employed in their design, and to consider how map design can improve museum
visitorsâ experiences. The research examines the range of information different
maps attempt to convey, and the graphic means they use to do it, using of a
corpus of around 250 contemporary museum maps from around the world. A
historical perspective is also gained through an examination of the design of
maps produced by two major UK museums throughout their history. Three linked
surveys of museum visitors investigating the use of maps and digital guides reveal
that, when using maps, while people are interested in navigation, their prime
interest is what the museum holds. These surveys also reveal that, at a time of
high digital device ownership and use, many museum visitors still favour printed
maps over digital guide devices.
Two empirical studies examine particular aspects of map design: the
relative effectiveness and appeal of two-dimensional or three-dimensional
depictions; and the appeal of two methods for labelling exhibition spaces
(location labels on the map, and a directory-style list).
The first study suggests that three-dimensional representations can better
help people understand the layout of a museum, as they can more clearly show
the building as a whole, and the ways of moving between floors. However, threedimensional representations can, in themselves, create complexity that make
maps difficult for some users to use. The second study suggests that using a
directory labelling system may mitigate this sense of complexity.
This research provides insights into how museum visitors use maps, and
particular issues in the design of maps that can impede their understanding of
the museumâs layout, which can help map designers. The thesis concludes by
identifying avenues for further research that would improve our understanding
of design features that best serve museum visitors with varying needs and mapreading abilities
Human and Artificial Intelligence
Although tremendous advances have been made in recent years, many real-world problems still cannot be solved by machines alone. Hence, the integration between Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence is needed. However, several challenges make this integration complex. The aim of this Special Issue was to provide a large and varied collection of high-level contributions presenting novel approaches and solutions to address the above issues.
This Special Issue contains 14 papers (13 research papers and 1 review paper) that deal with various topics related to humanâmachine interactions and cooperation. Most of these works concern different aspects of recommender systems, which are among the most widespread decision support systems. The domains covered range from healthcare to movies and from biometrics to cultural heritage. However, there are also contributions on vocal assistants and smart interactive technologies.
In summary, each paper included in this Special Issue represents a step towards a future with humanâmachine interactions and cooperation. We hope the readers enjoy reading these articles and may find inspiration for their research activities
