Das JavaFX-Framework gibt es schon seit einigen Jahren, hat aber mit den ersten Versionen fast nur noch den Namen gemeinsam. Seit der Version 2 hat JavaFX jedoch einen festen und ausgereiften Stand erreicht und ist mittlerweile die aktuelle Technologie im Java-Umfeld, um leistungsfähige und moderne grafische Benutzeroberflächen (GUI) erstellen zu können. Dieses Buch stellt Ihnen dazu eine Vielzahl an Widgets und Komponenten samt dem JavaFX-API vor. Es zeigt Ihnen auch, wie Sie mit Hilfe des APIs sowohl aus Java heraus, aber auch über einen XML-basierenden Ansatz (FXML) samt einem visuellen Designer-Tool (Scene Builder) grafische User-Interfaces erstellen können. So können Sie sogar ohne Java-Kenntnisse eine leistungsfähige und moderne GUI erstellen, aber auch Kenntnisse in anderen GUI-Technologien wie Swing übertragen und sogar diese Komponenten in JavaFX integrieren.

Data science has been playing a vital role in almost all major fields. Many researchers are interested in the development of IT applications, which are user-driven with a focus on issues. This can be addressed using data science. User-driven research and data science have gained much attention from many private, public, and government organizations and research institutions. Designing User Interfaces With a Data Science Approach promotes the inclusion of more diversified users for user-centered designs of applications across domains and analyzes user data with a data science approach for effective and user-friendly user interface designs. It introduces the foundations of advanced topics of human-computer interaction, particularly with user-centered designs and techniques. Covering topics such as artificial neural networks, natural dialog systems, and machine learning, this book is an essential resource for faculty, research scholars, industry professionals, students of higher education, mathematicians, data scientists, interaction designers, visual designers, software engineers, user experience researchers, accessibility engineers, cognitive system engineers, academicians, and libraries.

This book is concerned with the importance of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Usability, user participants, and Sustainability in the Information Communication Technology (ICT) industry throughout the world. ICTs have become a crucial instrument for communication, entertainment, commerce and research and this increased usage is presenting new environmental and sustainability issues as we try and meet the ever-growing needs of both businesses and individuals. Sustainability and sustainable design must become central to the design of new technologies to make a concerted effort to tackle the environmental concerns we face now and in the future. Development frameworks, tools and models are used and explored, and the New Participative Methodology for Sustainable Design (NPMSD) is introduced as a way of identifying key factors needed in developing more sustainable systems including new smart technology and portable devices.In this book, the sustainable step in the design stage is evaluated and assessed by 11 countries: namely, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, UK, and USA. The new results are generated confirming that sustainable design awareness should be considered by designers, and users to minimize and reduce the carbon emissions, raw materials usage, and global warming, since these problems should be tackled soon, otherwise, it will be too late to solve it. Further research is needed in the future to implement and assess the sustainable design step with large IT companies to ensure compliance with environmental standards and rules for sustainable systems.Sustainable Design is an invaluable resource for students and researchers, designers and business managers who are interested in the human-centered, environmental concerns of sustainable technologies.

Updated in 2024: A new version has been released that simplifies the programs used in the book, based on changes in the Rust language and crates since original publication. The code has been updated to reflect version 4 of the clap crate. For several consecutive years, Rust has been voted'most loved programming language'in Stack Overflow's annual developer survey. This open source systems programming language is now used for everything from game engines and operating systems to browser components and virtual reality simulation engines. But Rust is also an incredibly complex language with a notoriously difficult learning curve.Rather than focusing on the language as a whole, this guide teaches Rust using a single small, complete, focused program in each chapter. Author Ken Youens-Clark shows you how to start, write, and test each of these programs to create a finished product. You'll learn how to handle errors in Rust, read and write files, and use regular expressions, Rust types, structs, and more.Discover how to:Use Rust's standard libraries and data types such as numbers, strings, vectors, structs, Options, and Results to create command-line programsWrite and test Rust programs and functionsRead and write files, including stdin, stdout, and stderrDocument and validate command-line argumentsWrite programs that fail gracefullyParse raw and delimited text manually, using regular expressions and Rust cratesUse and control randomness

Recent years have witnessed important advancements in our understanding of the psychological underpinnings of subjective properties of visual information, such as aesthetics, memorability, or induced emotions. Concurrently, computational models of objective visual properties such as semantic labelling and geometric relationships have made significant breakthroughs using the latest achievements in machine learning and large-scale data collection. There has also been limited but important work exploiting these breakthroughs to improve computational modelling of subjective visual properties. The time is ripe to explore how advances in both of these fields of study can be mutually enriching and lead to further progress.This book combines perspectives from psychology and machine learning to showcase a new, unified understanding of how images and videos influence high-level visual perception - particularly interestingness, affective values and emotions, aesthetic values, memorability, novelty, complexity, visual composition and stylistic attributes, and creativity. These human-based metrics are interesting for a very broad range of current applications, ranging from content retrieval and search, storytelling, to targeted advertising, education and learning, and content filtering.Work already exists in the literature that studies the psychological aspects of these notions or investigates potential correlations between two or more of these human concepts. Attempts at building computational models capable of predicting such notions can also be found, using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Nevertheless their performance proves that there is still room for improvement, as the tasks are by nature highly challenging and multifaceted, requiring thought on both the psychological implications of the human concepts, as well as their translation to machines.

Der Smarthome Sektor boomt, dennoch ist eine flächendeckenden Verbreitung nicht absehbar. Die entsprechende technische Basis ist zwar vorhanden, es sind aber sowohl technische als auch sozio- und psychologische Faktoren, die die Mehrheit der potenziellen Nutzer davor zurückschrecken lassen, sich ein Smart Home anzuschaffen. Beispiele dafür sind die fehlende Interoperabilität am Markt verfügbarer Systeme, eine bestehende Technikskepsis mit Befürchtungen die Kontrolle zu verlieren, aber auch im Sinne von Überwachung, dem Schutz von Daten und Privatsphäre oder aber die Kosten/Nutzen-Analyse. Das Buch soll aus der Perspektive einer ganzheitlich betrachteten „User Experience“ Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, zukünftig individuelle und maßgeschneiderte Smarthome Lösungen zu erhalten – im Sinne einer feingranularen Abstufung anstelle eines Alles-oder-Nichts-Prinzips.

This is the second of two books by the authors about engineering design principles for human-computer interaction (HCI-EDPs). The books report research that takes an HCI engineering discipline approach to acquiring initial such principles. Together, they identify best-practice HCI design knowledge for acquiring HCI-EDPs. This book specifically reports two case studies of the acquisition of initial such principles in the domains of domestic energy planning and control and business-to-consumer electronic commerce. The book begins by summarising the earlier volume, sufficient for readers to understand the case studies reported in full here. The themes, concepts, and ideas developed in both books concern HCI design knowledge, a critique thereof, and the related challenge. The latter is expressed as the need for HCI design knowledge to increase its fitness-for-purpose to support HCI design practice more effectively. HCI-EDPs are proposed here as one response to that challenge, and the bookpresents case studies of the acquisition of initial HCI-EDPs, including an introduction; two development cycles; and presentation and assessment for each. Carry forward of the HCI-EDP progress is also identified. The book adopts a discipline approach framework for HCI and an HCI engineering discipline framework for HCI-EDPs. These approaches afford design knowledge that supports “specify then implement” design practices. Acquisition of the initial EDPs apply current best-practice design knowledge in the form of “specify, implement, test, and iterate” design practices. This can be used similarly to acquire new HCI-EDPs. Strategies for developing HCI-EDPs are proposed together with conceptions of human-computer systems, required for conceptualisation and operationalisation of their associated design problems and design solutions. This book is primarily for postgraduate students and young researchers wishing to develop further the idea of HCI-EDPs and other more reliable HCI design knowledge. It is structured to support both the understanding and the operationalisation of HCI-EDPs, as required for their acquisition, their long-term potential contribution to HCI design knowledge, and their ultimate application to design practice.

This concise text provides an accessible introduction to artificial intelligence and intelligent user interfaces (IUIs) and how they are at the heart of a communication revolution for strategic communications and public relations.IUIs are where users and technology meet – via computers, phones, robots, public displays, etc. They use AI and machine learning methods to control how those systems interact, exchange data, learn from, and develop relations with users. The authors explore research and developments that are already changing human/machine engagement in a wide range of areas from consumer goods, healthcare, and entertainment to community relations, crisis management, and activism. They also explore the implications for public relations of how technologies developing hyper-personalised persuasion could be used to make choices for us, navigating the controversial space between influence, nudging, and controlling.This readable overview of the applications and implications of AI and IUIs will be welcomed by researchers, students, and practitioners in all areas of strategic communication, public relations, and communications studies.

Mastering GNOME helps the reader master the GNOME desktop environment for a faster and more robust computing experience. The best thing about Linux is the plethora of choices that users tend to get. Whether it pertains to the kernel modules, or to the desktop environments, there is no shortage of options. Speaking of desktop environments, GNOME stands tall as one of the leading options. GNOME is an open source, free to use, simple, and attractive workspace interface supporting almost all the major Linux operating systems. GNOME includes a beautiful collection of programs, libraries, plugins, and probably millions of themes (some of which you may need to install manually). In fact, one of the most exemplary aspects of GNOME is GNOME Boxes, which allows you to construct virtual networks of multiple Linux operating systems without having to visit the website or download an iOS file, and it runs perfectly well via virtualization on KVM, which is the icing on the cake. But that is not all – GNOME is, arguably, the single most stable and dependable Linux desktop environment available today! GNOME has become one of the most effective, secure, and trustworthy desktops offered for the Linux platform, and that is the primary reason why it is the desktop environment of choice for Ubuntu, the world's most popular Linux distro. Regardless of skillset, users can quickly get up to speed with GNOME for everyday usage. This is where Mastering GNOME comes in. With Mastering GNOME, using GNOME for day-to-day computing becomes quite straightforward, which will help readers undoubtedly boost their productivity. The Mastering Computer Science series is edited by Sufyan bin Uzayr, a writer and educator with over a decade of experience in the computing field.

User care at home is a matter of great concern since unforeseen circumstances might occur that affect people's well-being. Technologies that assist people in independent living are essential for enhancing care in a cost-effective and reliable manner. Assisted care applications often demand real-time observation of the environment and the resident's activities using an event-driven system. As an emerging area of research and development, it is necessary to explore the approaches of the user care system in the literature to identify current practices for future research directions. Therefore, this book is aimed at a comprehensive review of data sources (e.g., sensors) with machine learning for various smart user care systems. To encourage the readers in the field, insights of practical essence of different machine learning algorithms with sensor data (e.g., publicly available datasets) are also discussed. Some code segments are also included to motivate the researchers ofthe related fields to practically implement the features and machine learning techniques. It is an effort to obtain knowledge of different types of sensor-based user monitoring technologies in-home environments. With the aim of adopting these technologies, research works, and their outcomes are reported. Besides, up to date references are included for the user monitoring technologies with the aim of facilitating independent living.Research that is related to the use of user monitoring technologies in assisted living is very widespread, but it is still consists mostly of limited-scale studies. Hence, user monitoring technology is a very promising field, especially for long-term care. However, monitoring of the users for smart assisted technologies should be taken to the next level with more detailed studies that evaluate and demonstrate their potential to contribute to prolonging the independent living of people. The target of this book is to contribute towards that direction.
