Man-machine interactions 3

Man-Machine Interaction is an interdisciplinary field of research that covers many aspects of science focused on a human and machine in conjunction.  Basic goal of the study is to improve and invent new ways of communication between users and computers, and many different subjects are involved to reach the long-term research objective of an intuitive, natural and multimodal way of interaction with machines.  The rapid evolution of the methods by which humans interact with computers is observed nowadays and new approaches allow using computing technologies to support people on the daily basis, making computers more usable and receptive to the user's needs.   This monograph is the third edition in the series and presents important ideas, current trends and innovations in  the man-machine interactions area.  The aim of this book is to introduce not only hardware and software interfacing concepts, but also to give insights into the related theoretical background. Reader is provided with a compilation of high-quality original papers covering a wide scope of research topics divided into elven sections,  namely: human-computer interactions, robot control,  embedded and navigation systems, bio data analysis and mining, biomedical signal  processing, image and sound processing, decision support and expert systems, rough and fuzzy systems, pattern recognition, algorithms and optimization, computer networks and mobile technologies and data management systems

Zastosowanie ontologii do opisu semantyki relacyjnej bazy danych na potrzeby analizy zapytań w języku naturalnym

The feasibility analysis of ontology incorporation into queries seman¬tic analysis process, where queries to databases are formulated in natural polish langu¬age are contained in this paper. In presented work, the semantics of queries and the database was formalized with use of Description Logic.W prezentowanej pracy przeprowadzono analizę możliwości wykorzystania ontologii dla usprawnienia analizy semantycznej zdań sformułowanych w języku polskim, traktowanych jako zapytania do bazy danych. Skoncentrowano się na zagadnieniach opisu semantyki zapytań oraz semantyki bazy danych na podstawie logiki opisowej (ang. Description Logic)

4th International Conference on Man–Machine Interactions

This book provides an overview of the current state of research on development and application of methods, algorithms, tools and systems associated with the studies on man-machine interaction. Modern machines and computer systems are designed not only to process information, but also to work in dynamic environment, supporting or even replacing human activities in areas such as business, industry, medicine or military. The interdisciplinary field of research on man-machine interactions focuses on broad range of aspects related to the ways in which human make or use computational artifacts, systems and infrastructure.   This monograph is the fourth edition in the series and presents new concepts concerning analysis, design and evaluation of man-machine systems. The selection of high-quality, original papers covers a wide scope of research topics focused on the main problems and challenges encountered within rapidly evolving new forms of human-machine relationships. The presented material is structured into following sections: human-computer interfaces, robot, control, embedded and navigation systems, bio-data analysis and mining, biomedical signal processing, image and motion data processing, decision support and expert systems, pattern recognition, fuzzy systems, algorithms and optimisation, computer networks and mobile technologies, and data management systems
