    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    EmoGen: Quantifiable Emotion Generation and Analysis for Experimental Psychology

    No full text
    3D facial modelling and animation in computer vision and graphics traditionally require either digital artist's skill or complex pipelines with objective-function-based solvers to fit models to motion capture. This inaccessibility of quality modelling to a non-expert is an impediment to effective quantitative study of facial stimuli in experimental psychology. The EmoGen methodology we present in this paper solves the issue democratising facial modelling technology. EmoGen is a robust and configurable framework letting anyone author arbitrary quantifiable facial expressions in 3D through a user-guided genetic algorithm search. Beyond sample generation, our methodology is made complete with techniques to analyse distributions of these expressions in a principled way. This paper covers the technical aspects of expression generation, specifically our production-quality facial blendshape model, automatic corrective mechanisms of implausible facial configurations in the absence of artist's supervision and the genetic algorithm implementation employed in the model space search. Further, we provide a comparative evaluation of ways to quantify generated facial expressions in the blendshape and geometric domains and compare them theoretically and empirically. The purpose of this analysis is 1. to define a similarity cost function to simulate model space search for convergence and parameter dependence assessment of the genetic algorithm and 2. to inform the best practices in the data distribution analysis for experimental psychology

    An ASM-based executable formal model of service-oriented component interactions and orchestration

    Formal design methods, that might serve as a basis for specifying and analyzing abstract models of service orchestrations, are needed to complement the wide range of domain- speci c languages (mainly based on graphical notations) that are currently being de ned for engineering service-oriented systems. This paper presents a formal and executable semantic framework for UML4SOA models of service-oriented systems. The UML4SOA language is a UML pro le developed in the EU SENSORIA project for modeling services behavior focusing on service orchestration aspects. We complement the graphical model of a service orchestration scenario with a formal description that is suitable for rigorous execution-platform-independent analysis. We map the behavioral primitives of UML4SOA activity diagrams into a particular class of Abstract State Machines (ASMs) able to model notions of service interactions and orchestrations

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry

    No full text
    This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
