GlossaLAB Workshop 2023/Streaming

Information for online follow-up of the public presentations at the glossaLAB workshop will be provided on this page, as well as access to the recordings once the sessions have taken place.

Morning and early afternoon | May 2nd | Broadcasting of the sessions held in Sierra Pambley (León) had technical problems and instead an online session was convened.

José María Díaz-Nafría (UDIMA, ES): From information to insights: sustainability requires relevant and reliable information | Abstract: To address the two great challenges of information - that is, to master, on the one hand, the understanding of information from its multiple aspects and, on the other hand, the increasing flow of information to make our lives easier - the need to build a transdisciplinary framework is justified, on the one hand, to enable the integration of knowledge applied to the general study of information and, on the other hand, to the management of information for the sustainability of organisations. For dealing with the first challenge, an integration of information theory, network theory and complex systems theory is proposed as a suitable framework for the integration of knowledge; while the second challenge is addressed applying the subsidiary principle and substituting the intense flow of raw data by synthetic information which percolates ‘meaningfully’ across organisational levels.

Modestos Stavrakis (UAE, GR): Designing interaction with information machines. The Case Study of IOHIVE | Abstract: Interaction design is an important consideration for the design and development of information systems, particularly IoT applications and services. Interaction design focuses on creating user-centered experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and effective. In the context of IoT, interaction design can help to ensure that users are able to effectively interact with and make sense of the vast amounts of data generated by IoT devices and sensors. This presentation will explore the role of interaction design in the design and development of IoT applications and services. We will discuss the unique challenges and opportunities presented by IoT, including the need to design for a range of devices and interfaces, the importance of considering the physical environment in which the IoT system operates, and the need to ensure that user interactions with IoT systems are transparent and understandable. We will also provide practical guidance and examples of how interaction design principles can be applied to IoT systems, including methods for user research and prototyping, strategies for designing for different user contexts and needs, and techniques for visualizing and communicating complex data.
Sonia Sánchez-Cuadrado (UCM, ES): Information at the service of sustainability [Keynote in SPANISH] | Abstract: This work reflects on information and its relation to sustainability. On the one hand, the multiple dimensions of the concept of sustainability are explored, and then the ecological aspects of sustainability with respect to the information society are analysed. Initiatives to achieve greater sustainability in information and to improve the lives of individuals are explored.

Teresa Guarda (UPSE, EC): There's no learning without knowledge integration | Abstract: There's No Learning Without Knowledge Integration" is justified by the fact that learning is a process that involves the acquisition, assimilation and application of knowledge from multiple sources, not being a simple memorization process, but the integration of information in the structures of previous knowledge, which support decision-making and solving problems. Effective learning requires multi-domain knowledge. Interdisciplinarity must be manifested as an instrument capable of forming complex thinking, producing plural knowledge and generating perception for the interconnection between knowledge, the articulation between areas of knowledge corroborates the correlation between scientific knowledge, technology, citizenship, responsibility and ethics. The world is increasingly interconnected and complex, and the need to integrate knowledge from various domains becomes fundamental for solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions. We will explore the meaning of knowledge integration, as it is essential for effective learning, the challenges, and also what strategies can be used for its promotion in various contexts.
Jorge Morato (UC3M, ES): If it is wrong and obscure is it information at all? The challenges of information reliability [Keynote in SPANISH] | Abstract: In the information age, where information is an extraordinarily abundant resource, it is easy to see that the saying "information is power" is not entirely true. The overabundance of information leads us to think about what factors affect the usefulness of the information we have access to. One of the most important aspects is the quality with which this information is expressed. The paper will discuss different aspects that impact on the degree to which a piece of information is useful for obtaining more specific and applied knowledge. Aspects to be highlighted are readability, veracity, relevance, information bias or completeness of the information.

Simone Belli (UC, ES): Cooperation requires knowledge and emotion integration | Abstract: The ability to cooperate with others is essential for success in many aspects of life, including work, relationships, and community involvement. While the importance of knowledge in cooperation is well-established, recent research suggests that emotional integration may also play a critical role. Emotional integration refers to the process of combining one's own emotions with those of others in order to work towards a shared goal. This process involves empathy, perspective-taking, and a willingness to engage in emotional labor. Studies have shown that individuals who are skilled at emotional integration are more likely to engage in cooperative behaviors, and that emotional integration can be taught and improved through various interventions. Therefore, enhancing emotional integration may be an effective way to promote cooperation in a variety of contexts.

Sofia Kyratzi (AUE, GR): Design intent issues in 3D modelling | Abstract: The creation of a flexible and robust 3D model that appropriately conveys its design intent is a hard task that mainly relies on the designer’s ability to express, through constraints and parameters, the expected behavior of the model. This presentation will explore the necessity of incorporating geometric design intent during 3D modeling and will approach design intent communication from an ontological perspective, by using a knowledge-based system in the domain of design intent and the corresponding constraint schemas.
Mario Pérez-Montoro (UB, ES): Pitfalls in Visual Communication of Information [Keynote in SPANISH] | Abstract: The incorrect and unethical use of data visualisation can override the communicational and narrative power of this type of visual resource. In this paper, based on the identification of bad practices, we are going to establish a heuristic that allows us to detect the main errors in the use of information visualisation as a communication strategy. We will also offer a proposal for improvement that guarantees their ethical use, illustrating it with a set of good alternative practices.
