| Daniel Gracia, Dr. J.M. Díaz Nafría (UDIMA, Spain) | Mapping long-term encyclopaedic endeavours [Recording lost]
Abstract: This presentation focuses on the revival and integration of three major encyclopedic corpora devoted to the inter- and transdisciplinary understanding of information and systems: the International Encyclopaedia of Systems and Cybernetics, the Diccionario de Teoría General de Sistemas y Cibernética, and the glossariumBITri. These resources are being revitalized and interconnected within glossaLAB, a collaborative environment for semantic clarification and knowledge mapping. Through the glossaLAB.dixit and CLINFO-glossaLAB initiatives, the project develops a federated system of interdisciplinary glossaries (ID-G), enhanced by semantic annotation, clarity assessment, and AI-assisted qualification. This effort establishes a hands-on methodology of clarification that bridges clear language practices, hybrid AI, and semantic technologies to enable collective understanding across disciplinary frontiers. | |
| Dr. Isaac Seoane, J.M. Díaz-Nafría, D. Gracia (UDIMA, Spain) | Bridging Theory and Practice: The comLAB Initiative [Recording lost]
Abstract: This presentation introduces comLAB (embedded in glossaLAB), a learning environment conceived to strengthen the dynamic interaction between theory and practice in the study of telecommunication systems. By integrating simulation, numerical computation, and signal visualization, comLAB enables students to manipulate parameters, observe outcomes, and relate analytical concepts to empirical behavior. The platform encapsulates complexity through modular structures that preserve theoretical rigor while facilitating exploration. Its pedagogical core lies in the iterative movement between theoretical abstraction and experimental verification, where learners continuously refine understanding through hands-on engagement. This process not only bridges the gap between conceptual models and real phenomena but also fosters an integrated comprehension of communication systems as living, interpretable entities. | |
| Álvaro Lázaro*, A. Iglesias, S. Sánchez-Cuadrado, J. Morato (UC3M, UCM, Spain) | What the Eyes Reveal: Detecting Reading Difficulties through Word-by-Word Eye Tracking [Recording lost]
Abstract: Reading on the web can be more challenging than it seems. Scrolling, complex layouts, and visual distractions often make it harder for people to follow and understand digital text. To uncover where these difficulties occur, eye-tracking technology offers a powerful tool: it shows how readers move their eyes across the screen and which words attract or interrupt their attention. This paper introduces a system implemented in our research group that analyzes reading at the word level, providing much greater precision than traditional approaches that focus on large text sections or general Areas Of Interest (AOI). Our method combines filtered gaze data with an automatic reconstruction of the webpage’s layout, allowing us to identify exactly which word a person is reading at each moment. By mapping eye movements to individual words, we can detect reading patterns, pauses, and regressions that reveal comprehension challenges. These insights not only deepen our understanding of how people actually read online but also support the creation of clearer, more accessible web content. Ultimately, this approach bridges cognitive research and practical communication, helping writers, designers, and educators make digital texts easier to read and understand. | |
