This presentation describes the importance of detecting and responding to users emotion while they work with online environments. Emotion is vital to learning and using technology to recognize users’ emotion has led to powerful performance results. First, we describe how to detect emotion, using sensors (camera, wrist band, pressure mouse, seat sensors). Computational tutors dynamically collected data streams of students’ physiological activity and self-reports of emotions. Second, we describe responses or interventions that we used once emotion was detected, i.e., we evaluated the impact of animated embodied agents on user motivation and achievement. Results showed that women and students with disabilities, while using agents reported increased math value, self-concept and mastery orientation and reduced frustration. Third, we describe the integration of computer vision techniques to improve detection of emotion.

Environmental Assessments for Energy, Infrastructure and Resource projects ...This account is closed
Understanding the new Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and how it relates to applicable provincial environmental assessment and planning legislation is critical to the success of your projects. Navigating the challenges of multiple government bodies, project scoping considerations and your consultation responsibilities with First Nations are key to the approval process. Obtaining approvals for these assessments may unlock opportunities or cause challenges.

AWS meets Android - "AWS SDK for Android"で開発を楽にしよう!SORACOM, INC
Android Bazaar and Conference 2011 Winterで話した資料に、簡単に解説を加えたものです。以下は、講演の概要。
Amazon Web Services(AWS)は、仮想サーバ、ストレージ、データベースなどを初期費用不要かつ安価な従量課金で提供するクラウドサービスのパイオニアです。AWS SDK for Androidは、モバイルアプリケーションのためのライブラリであり、開発者がモバイルアプリからAWSのサービスを使うことを非常に簡単にします。容量無制限でオブジェクトを置いただけでURLがつくAmazon Simple Storage Services(S3)を使えば、画像やビデオを高速にCDN(コンテンツ配信)できるアプリケーションを容易に作成できます。その他にも、非常に柔軟性、スケーラビリティが高いNoSQLサービスのAmazon SimpleDBや、高信頼でスケーラブルなキューイング、メッセージングを提供するAmazon SQS、Amazon SNSなど便利なサービスが揃っています。本セッションでは、アマゾンクラウドの概要、AWS SDK for Androidの解説だけでなく、デモンストレーションによりアマゾンクラウドとAWS SDK for Androidの魅力を余すところなくお伝えいたします。
