Une revue systématique de la littérature sur les interfaces utilisateur intelligentes: résultats préliminaires

National audienceThe user interfaces (UIs) promote the interaction with the software system to achieve the users' goals. In this way different types of interaction are provided, such as direct manipulation, web UI or tangible interaction. These interfaces have evolved, including artificial intelligence and adaptation mechanisms to answer the evolution of the technological areas. From this evolution emerged the intelligent user interfaces (IUIs) that aim to be more effective, efficient, and natural. Considering the importance of IUI nowadays, we have performed a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate the design trends of IUIs in the context of contemporary software systems (CSS), such as software systems based on internet of things (IoT) or dedicated to smart cities. Preliminary results show which models and technologies are most used to develop IUIs, and which application domain is mostly represented.Les interfaces utilisateur (IU) visent à favoriser l'interaction avec le système pour permettre aux utilisateurs d'atteindre leurs buts. Ainsi, différents types d'interaction sont possibles, tels que la manipulation directe, les interfaces web ou l'interaction tangible. Ces interfaces ont évolué au fil du temps, tout en intégrant des mécanismes issus de l'intelligence artificielle, tels des mécanismes d'adaptation, pour répondre à l'évolution des domaines technologiques. De cette évolution ont emergé les interfaces utilisateur intelligentes (IUI) qui visent à être efficaces et naturelles. Ainsi nous sommes en train de mener une revue systématique de la littérature pour étudier les tendances de conception des IUI dans le contexte des systèmes logiciels contemporains (SLC), tels que les systèmes basés sur l'internet des objets ou dédiés aux villes intelligentes. Les résultats préliminaires montrent quels sont les modèles et technologies les plus utilisés pour développer des IUIs, ainsi que le domaine d'application le plus représenté

Just Add Water: Reclamation Projects and Development Fantasies in the Upper Basin of the Colorado River

The history of the development of the American West is full of countless examples of promoters seeking to encourage outside investors to buy land, invest in mines, and build railroads. The history of water projects in the region is no different. Residents of communities such as Grand Junction, Colorado, recognized early on the two-fold dilemma that they faced: irrigation and reclamation projects would be critical to the economic growth of the area, and the funding for these projects would have to be obtained from sources outside the region. The promoters of such projects relied upon booster literature in order to entice investors with alluring (and often false) descriptions of the potential wealth to be had in these “irrigated Edens.

The Politics of Western Water: The Congressional Career of Wayne Aspinall

As the Democratic congressman from Colorado\u27s Fourth District from 1949 to 1973, Wayne Aspinall was an advocate of natural resource development in general and reclamation projects in particular. A political loner, considered crusty and abrasive, he carved a national reputation by helping secure the passage of key water legislation--in the process clashing with colleagues and environmentalists alike. Fiercely protective of western Colorado\u27s water supply, Aspinall sought to secure prosperity for his district by protecting its share of Colorado River water through federal reclamation projects, and he made this goal the centerpiece of his congressional career. He became chair of the House Interior Committee in 1959 and ruled it with an iron fist for more than a dozen years--a role that placed him in a key position to shape the nation\u27s natural resource legislation at a time when the growing environmental movement was calling for a sharp change in policy. This full-length study of Aspinall\u27s importance to reclamation in the West clarifies his role in influencing western water policy. By focusing on Aspinall\u27s congressional career, Stephen Sturgeon provides a detailed account of the political machinations and personal foibles that shaped Aspinall\u27s efforts to implement water reclamation legislation in support of Colorado\u27s Western Slope, along the way shedding new light on familiar water controversies. Sturgeon meticulously traces the influences on Aspinall\u27s thinking and the arc of his career, examining the congressman\u27s involvement in the Colorado River Storage Project bill and his clash with conservationists over the proposed Echo Park Dam; recounting the fight over the FryingPan-Arkansas Project and his decision to support diverting water out of his own district; and exploring the battles over the Central Arizona Project, in which Aspinall fought not only environmentalists but also other members of Congress. Finally he assesses the Aspinall legacy, including the still-disputed Animas-La Plata Project, and shows how his vision of progress shaped the history of western water development. The Politics of Western Water portrays Aspinall in human terms, not as a pork-barrel politician but as a representative who believed he was protecting his constituents\u27 interests. It is an insightful account of the political, financial, and personal variables that affect the course by which water resource legislation is conceived, supported, and implemented--a book that is essential to understanding the history and future of water in the West

The Disappearance of Everett Ruess and the Discovery of Utah\u27s Red Rocks Country

he twentieth could easily be Utah\u27s most interesting, complex century, yet popular ideas of what is history seem mired in the nineteenth. One reason may be the lack of readily available writing on more recent Utah history. This collection of essays shifts historical focus forward to the twentieth, which began and ended with questions of Utah\u27s fit with the rest of the nation. In between was an extended period of getting acquainted in an uneasy but necessary marriage, which was complicated by the push of economic development and pull of traditional culture, demand for natural resources from a fragile and scenic environment, and questions of who governs and how, who gets a vote, and who controls what is done on and to the contested public lands. Outside trade and a tourist economy increasingly challenged and fed an insular society. Activists left and right declaimed constitutional liberties while Utah\u27s Native Americans become the last enfranchised in the nation. Proud contributions to national wars contrasted with denial of deep dependence on federal money; the skepticism of provocative writers, with boosters eager for growth; and reflexive patriotism somehow bonded to ingrained distrust of federal government

Mormon Manuscript Materials in Utah State University\u27s Special Collections & Archives

The Division of Special Collections and Archives located in the Merrill Library at Utah State University, Logan, Utah, is composed of six different sections (Manuscripts, Photographs, University Archives, Rare Books, Preservation, and Art and Book Arts). Although each of these sections focuses on collecting different types of materials, one major focus for Special Collections as a whole is Mormon history. Although the division itself has existed only since 1965, Utah State University’s collection of Mormon materials dates back to 1916 when the university spent its entire book budget to purchase the Eli H. Peirce library. This collection contained almost seven hundred books focusing on Mormon and Utah history.2 Since then, USU’s collection of Mormon materials has steadily grown, and now it is one of the top ten in the country and one of the largest held by a public institution. What follows is a brief list of some of the major Mormon manuscript collections at USU
