To overcome the future needs of data communication on mobile devices, the $ 3^{rd} $ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced a new technology which is known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) UMTS. In this paper, we study video streaming behavior on the LTE network. For this purpose, we use the Vienna LTE System Level Simulator which implements network features that correspond to our goal. We consider the parameters that may affect the users experience on a network and define ten scenarios for our simulations. We finally search for methods to fit the video streaming data traffic on the LTE network and exhibit its long range dependence.

Breathing Expression for Intimate Communication Corresponding to the Physical Distance and Contact between Human and Robot

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose living-being-like breathing expressions concurrent with both aspiration and utterances using a stuffed-toy robot in order to enable intimate interactions.

The focus of the research is the impression of the intimacy between the robot and the user corresponding to the physical distance of the two. From the factor analysis of the impression for the word "intimacy" and the distance between the robot and the participants, it is conjectured that the physical intimacy showed strong effects in terms of both warm empathy and tranquility.

Our previous study showed that human-cognitively inspired heuristics is able to enhance the prediction accuracy of text classifier based on Naïve Bayes.
In the study, our classification model showed higher performance than conventional Naïve Bayes under specific conditions.
In this paper, to investigate the mechanism that realizes the higher performance of classification, we further tested our model and its modified variant.
As a result, our two models showed slightly different behaviors, but both of them achieved higher performance than conventional Naïve Bayes.

Facilitating Requirements Inspection with Search-Based Selection of Diverse Use Case Scenarios

While working with industrial partners, we discovered that an automated solution is required for optimally selecting a subset of use case scenarios, aiming to enable cost-effective requirements inspection. In this paper, relying on a natural language based use case modeling methodology to specify requirements as use case models and derive use case scenarios automatically, we propose a search based and similarity function based approach to optimally select most diverse use case scenarios from the ones automatically generated from the use case models. We conducted an empirical study to evaluate the performance of various search algorithms together with eight similarity functions, through an industrial case study and six case studies from the literature. Results show that the search algorithms significantly outperformed Random Search and (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm together with the Normalized Longest Common Subsequence (NLCS) similarity function performed significantly better than the other 31 combinations of the search algorithms and similarity functions for most of the problems.

Eye-tracking Data, Complex Networks and Rough Sets: an Attempt Toward Combining Them

On the basis of complex network representation of eye-tracking data, we define a measure, derived from rough set theory, for assessing the cohesion of sacade connections between object components identified in visual stimuli used in eye-tracking experiments. Theoretical foundations given in the paper are supplemented with a numerical example explaining the proposed approach.

Scope

Given the accelerated changes and deeply interconnected activities of the times we are living in, creativity is a key factor of disruptive future developments. Creative and entertainment industries nowadays represent more than 3% of the GDP in Europe and they range from creative content providers (TV & radio, fashion, music) through creative experience providers (movies and music experience) to creative services providers (advertising, design, architecture). Creative services, contents and experiences present knowledge requirements that are defined increasingly beyond a single discipline and appear to lie in a sound engagement among the creative practitioner (artist/designer/composer/entertainer), the engineer and the scientist. Digital arts, creative industries, and (tele)communication + (social) signal processing speak the language of convergence rather than autonomy. Their interaction calls for special attention now more than ever.

The Journal seeks for high-level contributions addressing several of those aspects with a special focus on at least one of them:

Creative Industries - the paper can describe a whole industrial project or framework integrating creative technologies for domains such as:

Creative content providers: TV & radio (broadcast, linked media), fashion (RFID and sensors, energy recycling), music & movies, books (digitization, sonification), museums (creative/artistic installations for tourism or cultural heritage) and media archives, etc.
Creative services providers: Advertising (user-centered web and ads optimization), design (communication devices for creative environments), architecture (places that adapt to people, creativity from domotics), new media and transmedia, etc.
Creative experience providers: Movies and music experience, game-based installations and playable media (participative creation, DJs and VJs creative tools), interactive social and urban spaces, etc.

Scientific topics - the paper can focus on scientific tools for creative industries on topics such as:

Creative content management: Multimedia data mining and innovative browsing, data 2D/3D visualization, digitization and storage, cultural heritage, etc.
Creative interactions: Social signal processing, verbal and nonverbal, explicit or implicit interactions, interacting robots, sensors and MoCap, human-computer interaction, user interface design, serious game etc.
Creative experiences: Affective content analysis and synthesis, immersive technologies, special effects, augmented reality, expressivity and emotion detection and processing, user experiences, etc.

Additional materials such as videos of installations and setups, public/users reactions and comments, or demo links are welcome.
