We traditionally learn how to model systems through texts, either online or in published form, but is it possible to learn about models by interacting directly with physical objects? Imagine taking a walk in a museum where objects reveal their modeling nature. A fossil in a science museum may indicate a process model for mineralization of bone, or the museums' cafe, although a large object, may indicate...
The context life cycle demonstrates how context information moves around each phase into a system, from context modeling until context dissemination. The modeling phase turns context data gathered from sensors into a higher level information which in most cases is modeled through ontologies. This paper presents a systematic mapping of the state of art (2009-2015) about ontological context modeling-related...
In this paper, a crowdsourcing experiment was conducted involving different panels of participants. The aim of this study is to evaluate how the preference of one image over another one is related with the knowledge of the participant in photography. In previous work the two discriminant evaluation concepts “presence of a main subject” and “exposure” were found to distinguish group participants with...
The main objective of our work is to demonstrate how recommender systems can be deployed to enhance access to museum collections. Visitors of museums are often overwhelmed by the information available in the space they are exploring. Therefore, finding relevant artworks to see in a limited amount of time is a crucial task. In this paper, we present a recommender system for mobile devices that (1)...
The paper proposes a conceptual framework, informed by activity theory, for designing technological support for meaning making in museum learning. The model describes a complex interaction between two activity contexts, the one associated with learners' own interests, goals and expectations, and the one associated with the design, functionality, and history of a museum artifact. The model is intended...
