Costa, Carlos J. and Aparicio, Manuela (2008): Web application and design of communication. In: DOC08 2008. pp. 111-116. Available online

Traditional emphasis in the design of communications was in the production of written text, drawing, photos, sound, and multimedia. Web 2.0, gives another dimension. Design of communications is not only design of images, text and movies; it is also interaction and collaboration. In this paper, we present a web application. From this experience we also derive a general model for design of communication.

Costa, Carlos J., Nhampossa, José Leopoldo and Aparicio, Manuela (2008): Wiki content evaluation framework. In: DOC08 2008. pp. 169-174. Available online

Allowing anyone to edit content is the philosophy of most wikis. Such approach does not ensure that the editor is a specialist in the topic and is well-meaning. Poor quality of the content and vandalism can be a major problem. We did a literature review on quality of information and criteria and examined a number wiki applications seeking to understand the process of authorship being used in larger wiki sites, such as those run by the Wikimedia Foundation and present a conceptual model to enforce quality in Wiki content. In this model, we suggest that each article should have an evaluation resulting from voting a pool of reviewers and that a historical record of the evaluation should be keep and available to users.

Hau, Elvis and Aparicio, Manuela (2008): Software internationalization and localization in web based ERP. In: DOC08 2008. pp. 175-180. Available online

Today the computers are constructed thinking for an international use due to the increasing number of computers in the world. So the user interface should be constructed thinking for globally use. And the softwares design may efforts follow more and more the evolution of the computers. Increasingly softwares are viewed as an instrument which interact with cultures of societies in which it works. The manufactures of the softwares increasingly make efforts to adapt they product to market needs. Like adapting they product appearance to aesthetic and historical value in which they are sold. This paper presents and explains some issues of software translation and localization in web based ERP, in applied to an open source application WebERP. The paper also argues peculiarities of the accounting taxes of the specific region. We will present a practice application of the WebERP in the specific country and it's translation, and we will see the impact in the accounting. We choose Portugal as a country that we will express some issues considered when we realise a transaction operation based in a scenario.

Costa, Carlos J., Silva, José and Aparicio, Manuela (2007): Evaluating web usability using small display devices. In: Proceedings of the 25th annual ACM international conference on Design of communication 2007, El Paso, Texas, USA. pp. 263-268. Available online

Usability is an important issue studied by many researchers and practitioners. Specifically, we are interested in evaluating web usability using small display devices. In this paper we evaluate different type of navigation using small display devices: links, folio and search. In order to evaluate it, we propose a laboratory prototype.

Costa, Carlos J. and Aparicio, Manuela (2006): Searching documents on the intranet using PDA. In: ACM 24th International Conference on Design of Communication 2006. pp. 23-28. Available online

The problem of searching the web by using small devices such as PDA is a subject of research pursued by academics but is also an important concern from industry. Here we suggest that document genre may contribute to the reduction of processing and memory burden when searching information on an Intranet. Document genre may also contribute to ease the access to information. It is in this context that we analyzed in what extent document genres are employed by users to describe digital resources, in order to be displayed in small display device. Based in the results of our research, we also propose a new architecture for an information system.

I'm an enemy of what I call 'computer theology.' There's a class conflict out there. There's a techno-elite that lives in a different world.
