Kompetencje współczesnego wydawcy – założenia teoretyczne kontra opinie praktyków

Author(s): Magdalena Wójcik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The subject of the article are the competencies of the modern publisher, influenced by changes in the book market which occurred in the years 2000–2015. The aim is to compare theoretical assumptions presented in the literature with opinions of representatives of leading Polish publishing houses. While analyzing changes in competencies and the social role of publishers the following factors were taken into account: development of e-books and new forms of media, proliferation of the self-publishing phenomenon and the increasing popularity of the social media. In the first stage of the research, the analysis and critique of the literature method was used, in which a systematic review of literature published in the years 2000–2015 in Polish and English was done, in order to develop a theoretical model of the competencies and role of the modern publisher. Then the developed model was compared with the results of surveys conducted among Polish academic and fiction publishers. As a result, conclusions were drawn regarding the scope and forms of changes which took place in the book market under the influence of new media development.

QUESTIONING CONVENTIONS: ARE PRODUCT CONVENTIONS TRADING OFF THE USABILITY OF PRODUCTS FOR SHORT TERM USER SATISFACTION

Author(s): Bryan Gough Young,Andrew Wodehouse,Marion Sheridan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

Mapping conventions are a key aspect of user centered design as they present users with familiar interactions in unfamiliar products. Conventions evolve over time and are slow to be adopted, requiring a high percentage of acceptance within a society, ensuring that conventions exhibit a sufficient level of usability. However this paper argues that while usability is a necessary condition for good interactions it is not a sufficient one. Therefore user centered design which accents individuals bias towards conventions my in fact be hindering the innovation of product interactions. This paper argues that a cognitive approach should be adopted in order understand and reassess product interactions. An experiment was carried out that demonstrates the influence that simple mappings can have on cognitive load. The results showed that basic mappings of the types that are found throughout product conventions can have a substantial impact on mental load and subsequently product interaction.

EXTENSION OF THE FUZZY C MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM TO FIT WITH THE COMPOSITE GRAPH MODEL FOR WEB DOCUMENT REPRESENTATION

Author(s): Kaushik K. Phukon,Hemanta K. Baruah / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2013

Clustering techniques are mostly unsupervised methods that can be used to organize data into groups based on similarities among the individual data items. Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering is one of well known unsupervised clustering techniques, which can also be used for unsupervised web document clustering. In this chapter we will introduce a modified method of clustering where the data to be clustered will be represented by graphs instead of vectors or other models. Specifically, we will extend the classical FCM clustering algorithm to work with graphs that represent web documents [1,2,3]. We wish to use graphs because they can allow us to retain information which is often discarded in simpler models.
