abstract = {ICT tools and their methods to support the policy lifecycle in urban planning have drastically changed with the emergence of social media, advanced simulation techniques, open government data, big data, opinion mining, advanced text analytics and visualization. All those components should be combined with GIS. Current ICT solutions supporting e-participation and collaborative urban planning are focused on solving a specific problem. They are not integrated neither on the conceptual nor on the technical level. The conceptual level referring to the policy lifecycle, the technical level to data integration and user interface. This paper describes a new integrated approach to policy design and implementation. It consists of an advanced policy lifecycle and an IT-solution with features supporting all phases of the proposed lifecycle. The concept as well as the technical architecture as implemented in the Future Policy Modelling Project (FUPOL) to achieve such a complete integration with separate applications is outlined.},

abstract = {Adaptive visualizations aim to reduce the complexity of visual representations and convey information using interactive visualizations. Although the research on adaptive visualizations grew in the last years, the existing approaches do not make use of the variety of adaptable visual variables. Further the existing approaches often premises experts, who has to model the initial visualization design. In addition, current approaches either incorporate user behavior or data types. A combination of both is not proposed to our knowledge. This paper introduces the instantiation of our previously proposed model that combines both: involving different influencing factors for and adapting various levels of visual peculiarities, on visual layout and visual presentation in a multiple visualization environment. Based on data type and users’ behavior, our system adapts a set of applicable visualization types. Moreover, retinal variables of each visualization type are adapted to meet individual or canonic requirements on both, data types and users’ behavior. Our system does not require an initial expert modeling.},

abstract = {A major step in ICT-driven policy making is information gathering. During this phase, analysts and experts have to deal with a high number of statistical data which they use as a basis to identify problems and find appropriate solutions. This paper introduces a statistical data model to support these analysts and experts. It allows for handling the complexity (i.e. the dimensions) of the data for the visualizations. In particular, it helps to use the same data for two-dimensional, but also multi-dimensional statistics visualizations. Based on this statistic data model we introduce an interactive approach of visual statistics cockpits. This results in highly interactive statistics visualization cockpits that enable both analysts and experts to improve problem assessment and solution finding.},

abstract = {Current search engines present search results in an ordered list even if semantic technologies are used for analyzing user queries and the document contents. The semantic information that is used during the search result generation mostly remains hidden from the user although it significantly supports users in understanding why search results are considered as relevant for their individual query. The approach presented in this paper utilizes visualization techniques for offering visual feedback about the reasons the results were retrieved. It represents the semantic neighborhood of search results, the relations between results and query terms as well as the relevance of search results and the semantic interpretation of query terms for fostering search result comprehension. It also provides visual feedback for query enhancement. Therefore, not only the search results are visualized but also further information that occurs during the search processing is used to improve the visual presentation and to offer more transparency in search result generation. The results of an evaluation in a real application scenario show that the presented approach considerably supports users in assessment and decision-making tasks and alleviates information seeking in digital semantic knowledge bases.},

abstract = {Nowadays there is a gap between the possibilities and the massively existing data on the one side and the user as main worker on the other side. In different scenarios e.g. search, exploration, analysis and policy-modeling a user has to deal with massive information, but for this work he usually gets a static designed system. So meanwhile data-driven work-processes are increasing in its complexity the support of the users who are working with these data is limited on basic features. Hence this paper describes a concept for a process-supporting approach, which includes relevant aspects of users' behaviors in support him to successfully finish also complex tasks. This will be achieved by a process-based guidance with an automatic tools selection for every process and activity on the one hand. And on the other hand the consideration of expert-level of a user to a single task and process. This expert-level will be classified during each task and process interaction and allow the automatically selection of optimal tools for a concrete task. In final the user gets for every task an automatically initialized user-interface with useful and required tools.},

abstract = {Nowadays a wide range of input devices are available to users of technical systems. Especially modern alternative interaction devices, which are known from game consoles etc., provide a more natural way of interaction. In parallel to that the research on visualization of large amount of data advances very quickly. This research was also influenced by the semantic web and the idea of storing data in a structured and linked form. The semantically annotated data gains more and more importance in information acquisition processes. Especially the Linked Open Data (LOD) format already experienced a huge growth. However, the user-interfaces of web-applications mostly do not reflect the added value of semantics data. This paper describes the conceptual design and implementation of an Interactive Exploration System that offers a user-centered graphical environment of web-based knowledge repositories, to support and optimize explorative learning, and the integration of a taxonomy-based approach to enable the use of more natural interaction metaphors, as they are possible with modern devices like Wii Mote or Microsoft Kinect. Therefore we introduce a different classification for interaction devices, and current approaches for supporting the added values in semantics visualizations. Furthermore, we describe the concept of our IES, including a strategy to organize and structure today's existing input devices, and a semantics exploration system driven by user-experience. We conclude the paper with a description of the implementation of the IES and an application scenario.},

In this paper we present a user study which aimed to evaluate if the self-rated expertise of the subjects in their computer system skills has an impact on their task completion effectiveness using visualizations. The results reveal that regardless of the self-rated assurance of the users, no significant difference in the effectiveness of task completions using visualizations could be registered. Furthermore the participants indicate in the questionnaire that using visualization their individual satisfaction level had no significant differences when compared to the users’ self-assurance levels. This indicates even users feeling not confident in interacting with computer systems they may feel confident in interacting with visualizations. Thus if visualizations are applied for tasks of information search and exploration, the user is encouraged to higher effectiveness.},

In consequence many users have problems to use such programs effective and efficient. In particular beginners have significant problems to use the programs correctly due to complex functionality and interaction options. To avoid this overload of the user, the Information Visualization community has recently developed some approaches that aim to support the users. Unfortunately, these approaches are limited to one special aspect, and sometimes they are just appropriate for one special task. Thus, in this paper we introduce a process-oriented user-supporting approach. It allows selecting adequate supporting techniques in correlation to a performed process and activity to guide the user and help him to solve his task. Furthermore, we show the benefits of designing programs and applications, which implement process definitions for the existing tasks to provide the user with better process orientation. This guides the user through difficult and complex processes.},

abstract = {Considering the increasing pressure of competition and high dynamics of markets; the early identification and specific handling of novel developments and trends becomes more and more important for competitive companies. Today; those signals are encoded in large amounts of textual data like competitors’ web sites; news articles; scientific publications or blog entries which are freely available in the web. Processing large amounts of textual data is still a tremendous challenge for current business analysts and strategic decision makers. Although current information systems are able to process that amount of data and provide a wide range of information retrieval tools; it is almost impossible to keep track of each thread or opportunity. The presented approach combines semantic search and data mining techniques with interactive visualizations for analyzing and identifying weak signals in large text collections. Beside visual summarization tools; it includes an enhanced trend visualization that supports analysts in identifying latent topic-related relations between competitors and their temporal relevance. It includes a graph-based visualization tool for representing relations identified during semantic analysis. The interaction design allows analysts to verify their retrieved hypothesis by exploring the documents that are responsible for the current view.},

abstract = {The today society especially in the western world is stamped by a lifelong learning. This matter results because of an increasing technology development primary in Information Communication Technologies (ICT). These technology developments have their reasons in creating new effective and efficient systems that allows a higher productivity or quality and decreases the production cost, which is necessary for a stable and healthy company. But the goal of these new technologies is also to provide more possibilities for the “normal” users, so that they for instance can easily and cheap get updated about the status of their family members or friends over the internet. So ICT allows a wide range of possibilities, also for providing education with these technologies. So in this connection ICT can contribute to achieving universal education worldwide, through transfer of education and training, and offering improved conditions for lifelong learning, encompassing adults that are not participating to the formal education process, and improving professional skills (UNESCO, 2009). And skills are today the main factor for wealth in a society.
A modern established method to provide a flexible learning, especially for lifelong learning for adults, is learning over the internet. By this kind of eLearning it does not matter where a specific user or student lives or tries to learn, he only needs access to the internet and has with it access to a huge amount of information and eLearning materials. But in fact for this way of learning the user needs experiences in dealing with the internet and also with the learning platforms. Because of that fact often only younger students up to the age of ca. 30 years are able use the existing eLearning platforms in an efficient way. This young target group stands in opposition to the demographic effect that the average age of most of the European residents increases constantly. So it becomes to a national and European challenge to support also the middle-aged adults for holding them up-to-date educated. But to provide an advanced education for these adult people is difficult, because it can be very time consuming and expensive, if they are trained on the traditional way with courses and tutors or trainers. So another approach is useful, next to the traditional advanced education.
In our paper we describe an approach to provide a facilitated access to eKnowledge and so to virtual learning. With the described approach we address especially older adults between the age of 30 and 40 to support them in advanced learning. This allows bringing them up-to-date, so that they can achieve a similar education level than younger once which e.g. coming from the university. For reducing the access barrier many aspects, next to the general strategy, have to be to regarded, e.g. usability and also user experience aspects to avoid that middle and older adults get overstrained, which results often that they dislike the entire online learning strategy. So these technical features need to be hidden or so far reduced and abstracted that also these kinds of adults will understand the usefulness. In this paper we also take care for such aspects and presenting a concept and implementation of an eLearning portal that is primary designed for supporting the needs and behaviours of middle-aged adults. The main contribution of this paper is the abstraction and reduction of learning functionalities, implemented in a well-known learning environment.},

abstract = {Existing reference models for recommender systems are on an abstract level of detail or do not point out the processes and transitions of recommendation systems. However, this information is relevant for developers to design or improve recommendation systems. Even so, users need some background information of the calculation process to understand the process and accept or configure these systems proper. In this paper we present a comprehensive reference model for recommender systems which conjuncts the recommendation processes on an adequate level of detail. To achieve this, the processes of content-based and collaboration-based systems are merged and extended by the transitions and phases of hybrid systems. Furthermore, the algorithms which can be applied in the phases of the model are examined to identify the data flow between these phases. With our model those information of the recommendation calculation process can be identified, which encourages the traceability and thus the acceptance of recommendations.},

In order to correctly and comprehensibly visualize data in a user-oriented way data specific aspects have to be considered. Furthermore, user-oriented perception characteristics are decisive for the fast and proper interpretation of the visualized data. In this paper we present a taxonomy for graph visualization techniques. On the one hand it provides the user-oriented identification of applicable visual features for given data to be visualized. On the other hand the set of visualization techniques is enclosed which supports these identified visual features. Thus, the taxonomy supports the development of user-oriented visualizations by examination of data to obtain a beneficial association of data to visual features.},

abstract = {The requirements on today's employees have been changed in the past. Today the western world needs significant more well educated employees, often named as experts. To be attractive for the job market the employees have to stay up-to-date and to improve their skills continuously, so lifelong-learning becomes important for the business carrier. But especially this advanced learning becomes difficult for people in rural regions. The existing strategies like improving skills on adult education centres is not appropriated for the rural population because of e.g. travelling costs. To solve this discriminating circumstance is the main goal of the RURALeNTER project. The project aims to develop a new approach how advanced education can be provided to the rural population by using modern technologies over internet. The effective use of specifically to the requirements of rural population developed internet tools enables even for beginners the possibility to be similar effective as the
advanced training that is provided in urban regions in the traditional form. The resulting approach was tested and used amongst others in Spain, Austria and Romania.},

abstract = {One key issue of both Information Visualization as well as Adaptive User Interfaces is information overload. While both disciplines have already devised well performing algorithms, methods and applications, a real merging has not taken place yet. Only a few attempts bring the surplus values of both disciplines together, whereas a fine-grained investigation of visualization parameterization is not investigated. Today's systems focus either on the adaptation of visualization types or the parameterization of visualizations. This paper presents a reference Model for Adaptive Visualization Systems (MAVS) that allows the adaptation of both the visualization type and the visualization parameterization. Based on this model, a framework for the adaptive visualization of semantics data will be derived. A use case describing the interaction with an ädaptive visualization cockpit" covering different visualization metaphors concludes the paper.},

Gegenwärtig haben lediglich die Smartphones und Spielekonsolen großen Absatz, welche eine gestenbasierte Interaktion unterstützen. Dies geht einher, dass solche Geräte nicht nur von technisch versierten Konsumenten gekauft werden. Die Interaktion mit solchen Geräten gestaltet sich so einfach, dass oftmals auch ältere Personen mit diesen spielen oder arbeiten. Insbesondere ältere Personen sind häufig gehandicapt, so haben sie oftmals Probleme kleinere Text zu lesen, wie sie häufig auf Fernbedienungen gedruckt sind. Ebenso neigen sie dazu, schnell überfordert zu sein, so dass gerade größere technische Systeme keine Hilfe sind. Wenn die Geräte mit Gesten steuerbar sind, sind die genannten Probleme oftmals vermeidbar. Um aber eine intuitive und einfache Gesteninteraktion zu ermöglichen, müssen entsprechend verständliche und nachvollziehbare Gesten unterstützt werden. Aus diesem Grund versuchen wir in diesem Paper intuitive Gesten für gängige Interaktionsszenarien an computerbasierten Systemen für den Einsatz in unterstützenden Umgebungen zu identifizieren. Im Rahmen der Evaluation sollen die Probanden hierfür ihre bevorzugten Gesten für die verschiedenen Interaktionsszenarien einbringen. Auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse kann später ein intuitiv bedienbares System, unter Verwendung eines beschleunigungssensorbasierten Geräts, entwickelt werden, mit welchem die Nutzer auf intuitive Weise kommunizieren können. },

abstract = {Using modern interaction methods and devices enables a more natural and intuitive interaction. Currently, only mobile phones and game consoles which are supporting such gesture-based interactions have good payment-rates. This comes along, that such devices will be bought not only by the traditional technical experienced consumers. The interaction with such devices becomes so easy, that also older people playing or working with them. Especially older people have more handicaps, so for them it is difficult to read small text, like they are used as description to buttons on remote controls for televisions. They also become fast overstrained, so that bigger technical systems are no help for them. If it is possible to interact with gestures, all these problems can be avoided. But to allow an intuitive and easy gesture interaction, gestures have to be supported, which are easy to understand. Because of that fact, in this paper we tried to identify intuitive gestures for common interaction scenarios on computer-based systems for uses in ambient assisted environment. In this evaluation, the users should commit their opinion of intuitive gestures for different presented scenarios/tasks. Basing on these results, intuitively useable systems can be developed, so that users are able to communicate with technical systems on more intuitive level using accelerometer-based devices.},

abstract = {Today the information visualization takes in an important position, because it is required in nearly every context where large databases have to be visualized. For this challenge new approaches are needed to allow the user an adequate access to these data. Static visualizations are only able to show the data without any support to the users, which is the reason for the accomplished researches to adaptive user-interfaces, in particular for adaptive visualizations. By these approaches the visualizations were adapted to the users' behavior, so that graphical primitives were change to support a user e.g. by highlighting user-specific entities, which seems relevant for a user. This approach is commonly used, but it is limited on changes for just a single visualization. Modern heterogeneous data providing different kinds of aspects, which modern visualizations try to regard, but therefore a user often needs more than a single visualization for making an information retrieval. In this paper we describe a concept for adapting the user-interface by selecting visualizations in dependence to automatically generated data characteristics. So visualizations will be chosen, which are fitting well to the generated characteristics. Finally the user gets an aquatically arranged set of visualizations as initial point of his interaction through the data.},
