- Adaptation to TV delays based on the user behavior towards a cheating-free second screen entertainmentPublication . Madeira, Rui Neves; Centineiro, Paulo; Correia, NunoRecent advances in technology created new opportunities to enhance TV personalization, providing viewers with individualized ways to watch TV and to interact with its content. Second screen applications are promising vehicles to enhance the viewers’ experiences, but researchers need to take into account the effect that the TV delay has on viewers, in particular when watching broadcasted live events. In this paper, we propose a software-based solution to deal with TV delays. It is mainly directed for a gaming context in which the user has the means to control the synchronisation between the second screen application and the TV content. Taking this scenario into account, we implemented a cheating-detection mechanism to cope with the potential exploitation of the system by its users.
- Personalising the user experience of a mobile health application towards Patient EngagementPublication . Madeira, Rui Neves; Germano, Helena; Macedo, Patrícia; Correia, NunoStuttering is a multifactorial speech disorder that usually has several impacts on daily life, especially regarding loss of confidence in social situations and increased anxiety levels. BroiStu is a mobile health application that was developed to address the impacts of stuttering on people who stutter, allowing them to be more aware of their speech disorder in their everyday life. The personalisation of the user experience may be particularly important to maintain the patient engaged with the application towards a long-term use to take full advantage of the application’s features. This paper presents the implementation of personalisation aspects in BroiStu, introducing the model that is being followed, describing the features used, and presenting the results obtained with a preliminary experiment. The personalisation mechanisms are provided by a cloud-based platform that is designed to serve different applications. Interesting findings and further work are presented.
- Projeto DesAIR, seus objetivos e principais resultadosPublication . Cristovao, Claudia; Gomes, Rui; Correia, NunoO projeto DesAIR teve como principal objetivo o de explorar a aplicação e utilização de um material natural, reciclável e renovável, como o é a cortiça, em componentes para aeronaves privadas e comerciais. Assim este projeto visou desenvolver soluções compósitas integrando diferentes materiais que respondam aos requisitos da indústria aeronáutica e que, em simultâneo, sejam sustentáveis, devendo essas soluções ser competitivas com as soluções atualmente utilizadas e antecipar futuros desenvolvimentos do estado da arte. Para tal o projeto foi estruturado contemplando diversas fases consecutivas que se iniciaram com um necessário processo de estudos preliminares o que possibilitou a definição das especificações técnicas a alcançar e consequentemente, através do deficitário entre estes, a aquisição de novos conhecimentos e para um adequado desenvolvimento de soluções fiáveis e inovadoras. Na sequência dessas fases tornou-se então possível proceder à construção do demonstrador do projeto, protótipo, e à indispensável realização da fase de testes e ensaios que, pela sua natureza, possibilitam a validação dos desenvolvimentos alcançados e como tal a medição do grau de sucesso do consórcio.
- O projeto inTRAIN, seus objetivos e principais resultadosPublication . Cristovao, Claudia; Mimoso, Pedro; Correia, NunoO projeto inTRAIN foi um projeto de Investigação e Desenvolvimento de componentes para interiores ferroviários que teve como principal objetivo encontrar soluções inovadoras, desenvolvidas pela indústria nacional, para os interiores de comboios suburbanos focada na integração de materiais e tecnologias eco-eficientes, user-friendly e com design inovador. O inTRAIN contou com financiamento do QREN, no âmbito do Programa Operacional Fatores de Competitividade - COMPETE, e do Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento Regional. Este projeto foi promovido por um consórcio de empresas constituído pela SETsa; Active Space Technologies; Almadesign; INEGI; ISQ; Optimal Structural Solutions; e Spin.Works. Contou também com o apoio da EMEF e das empresas ERT, FORBO e CLIMAR.
- The disintegration of the urban limits of Lisbon in the early 1960’s. Portuguese architectural debate about exclusion and the importance of the historic cityPublication . Correia, NunoIn the early s, the uncontrolled growth of the suburban areas of Lisbon invading peripheral territory, was destroying the definition of its urban limits. At that moment, a new generation of Portuguese modern architecture, identifies two key-problems in the growth of the city. First, the uncontrolled expansion of its periphery, transformed into a suburb, and second, the permanent destruction of the integrity of the centre, caused by the unTualified replacement of old buildings by new ones. But this debate had two different dimensions ± a dimension of urban design and a social one. 2n the urban design dimension, it was urgent to review some of the principles of modern planning and to recover the permanent urban values of the historic city. But on the social dimension, the architects of the new generation unconditionally adopted the modern principles expressed in the Athens Charter, and demanded the right of the population to housing and to inhabit the city.
