Interfaces distribuées pour jeux de plateau : d’un retour d’expérience à des règles de conception basées sur la territorialité

International audienceThis paper reports an experience feedback on the design of several interactive board games distributed over several devices, a design driven by the 5W1H questions. The analysis of the games developed in reference to the theory of tabletop territoriality leads us to propose design rules which are more structuring for such games, and which remain to be confirmed.Cet article présente un retour d’expérience sur la conception de jeux de plateau interactifs distribués sur plusieurs dispositifs, conception guidée par les questions 5W1H. L’analyse des jeux développés au regard de la théorie de la territorialité appliquée aux tables interactives nous amène à proposer des règles de conception plus structurantes pour de tels jeux : règles qu’il reste à confirmer

Territoires et IHM Distribuées : Raffinement de Règles et d'une Méthode de Conception de Jeux Multi-Dispositifs

National audienceThe multitude of different interaction devices and the importance of their spread alongside various people allow to propose distributed interfaces (interactions). Territoriality rules have to be applied in order to ensure the adequation of information position and their access constraints (personal information, privacy, etc.). The navigability between different interfaces has to be assured. Illustrated by four designs of distributed application, this article proposes a feedback which allow to refine a design methodology.La multitude des supports d'interaction et l'ampleur de leur propagation auprès d'un public varié permet de proposer des interfaces (ou interactions) distribuées. Les règles de territorialité doivent s'appliquer afin de garantir une adéquation de la position de l'information à son but et à ses contraintes d'accès (informations personnelles, informations privées, etc.). Il faut s'assurer également de la navigabilité entre les différentes interfaces. Cet article propose un retour d'expérience permettant de raffiner une méthode de conception, sur la base d'illustration de quatre conceptions d'application distribuées

Relationships between physico-chemical, biological and functional approaches for soil quality assessment. A case study along a gradient of disturbance

International audienceThe assessment of the impacts of land management on soil quality is crucial in the current environmental context. Among the many approaches available to assess soil quality, most of studies or monitoring programs consist in the measurement of stocks using an additive approach of physical, chemical and biological, parameters. More recently, functional methods have been developed to provide tools which better account the abioticbiotic interactions. The objective of our study was to evaluate and compare the capacity of physico-chemical, biological and functional parameters to assess the effect of land management on soil quality over a gradient of disturbance based on rubber tree plantations in Chachoengsao province, Thailand. Three sets of indicators were applied based on i. soil physico-chemical analyses, ii. biological analyses, based on soil free-living nematode indices iii. functional analyses, with Biofunctool (R) indicators linked to three main soil functions (carbon transformation, nutrient cycling, soil structure maintenance). A soil quality index resulting from the aggregation of each set of indicators into a single score showed that functional assessment was the most sensitive to the gradient of disturbance. Co-inertia analysis between sets revealed a significant relationship between functional analysis and both physico-chemical and biological sets of indicators, whereas the two latter were not related. Our results validated the ability of the functional method to better reflect the complexity of the abiotic-biotic interactions of the soil system.Highlights:• Three sets of soil quality indicators were compared.• Functional indicators were the most sensitive to the gradient of disturbance.• Functional set of indicators was significantly linked to physico-chemical and biological sets.• The functional method Biofunctool® integrate both soil biotic and abiotic components

Entrain, exploring new territorial user interfaces

International audienceWe aim at exploring the different approaches to design interactive applications for groups of users using a set of interacting surfaces to perform their tasks with an optimal user experience. Participants are invited to present both the models and/or design methods as well as the case studies and applications they are studying in this context. We would like to set up a discussion group in order to put each person's work in perspective with the notion of territoriality applied to ambient computing and multiple devices. The territoriality theory may serve as a basis for the design of complex interactive applications of quality. From these discussions will emerge a mapping of models and design methods that could be mutualized and combined

Biofunctool®: a new framework to assess the impact of land management on soil quality. Part A: concept and validation of the set of indicators

International audienceThe assessment of soil quality is a scientific issue that has been widely debated in the literature for the last twenty years. We developed the Biofunctool® framework to assess soil quality based on an integrative approach that accounts for the link between the physico-chemical properties and the biological activity of soils. Biofunctool® consists in a set of twelve in-field, time- and cost-effective indicators to assess three main soil functions: carbon transformation, nutrient cycling and structure maintenance. The indicators were applied in a network of mostly rubber plantations compared with three other land uses in Thailand. We collected 1952 indicators values in 180 sampling points over a wide range of pedo-climatic and agronomic contexts in order to assess the validity of the indicators. A reliability, redundancy and sensitivity analysis was performed to validate the capacity of the set of indicators to assess the impact of land management on soil quality. The results showed the relevance and consistence of each of the twelve indicators to assess the soil functioning. Improvements are finally discussed to guide further implementation of the indicators in various contexts and build a soil quality index
