Introduction
In the last decade, social and interactive medias have emerged as one of most
vivacious areas in information technology and communication. Today, it is necessary
to insert mechanisms to increase the qualitative communicability among different
users all over our world. These mechanisms are achieved through heuristics and
using as a common area the intersection of the formal and factual sciences.
The main goal is to increase the quality of communicability in interactive systems
and to introduce a new professional in the context of the information science,
technology and management called ‘Communicability Analyst in Interactive
Systems’. The secondary targets are to present a series of works in which
it is possible to analyze the current state-of-art of the new technologies advances
in universities, R+D laboratories, industrial sectors, etc. and to create an
area of excellence among the formal and factual sciences aimed at constantly
increasing the quality of interactive systems, especially those related to communicability,
augmented reality, multimedia/hypermedia (online and/or off-line),
Web 2.0, Web 3.0, virtual reality and mixed reality.
Handbook Aims
This edited handbook aims to report emerging new horizons in
R+D and development outcomes on problems and corresponding strategies,
methods, techniques, approaches and successful applications or solutions in design, communicability, audio-visual
contents and programming for advances in dynamic
and static media (online and/or off-line interactive systems). The handbook
encourages high quality chapters to eradicate ambiguities and increasingly unify
all participants in computer science and design, from production to realization
of the emerging or new technologies.
