Lazzari, Marco and Chiodi, Marco (2009): Experimenting with an organic metaphor and hypervisual links for the interface of a video collection. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 4357-4362. Available online
In this paper we describe the prototype of an archive of short movies. The project proposes two original solutions for implementing the interface of this archive: an organic metaphor and a hypervisual navigation mechanism.

Lazzari, Marco (2009): Creative use of podcasting in higher education and its effect on competitive agency. In Computers & Education, 52 (1) pp. 27-34
This paper describes an academic experience of podcasting, which involved a group of students of a course on multimedia communication and human-computer interaction. These students acted both as users of the university's podcasting service, and as creators of podcasted lessons. A comprehensive analysis based on the evaluation of the effects on student performance, on data from student satisfaction surveys, from interviews and from instructors' observations provided encouraging results: full-time students co-involved in lessons' podcasting outperformed colleagues of the previous years and achieved higher levels of what we define as competitive agency, that led them to better understand the theoretical issues of the course and to more effective practical skills.

The paper presents the results of the project CORARC, funded by the Italian Ministry for University and Scientific Research, aimed at developing a Web based system, called SITUS, to support the management of information for
archaeological sites.
Thc system supports, through a relational database and a GIS server, the archival and management of multimedia and cartographic data coming from a study of an archaeological site, and provides support functions for specialists.
The scalable architecture runs on a variety of configurations, from portable computers to a network with a data server and specialised clients for data acquisition and management, simulation, and modelling.
The architecture is fully Web based over Intranet/lnternet and the standard client rcquircs only the availability of a browser.
The application is designed to manage a large spectrum of archaeological sites (from small excavation campaigns to
large sites) and has been validated both in the global context of the archaeological site at Pompeii and for a specific excavation campaign in the area of Pompeii.

Lazzari, Marco and Salvaneschi, Paolo (1999): Embedding a geographic information system in a decision support system for landslide hazard monitoring. In International Journal of Natural Hazards, 20 (2) pp. 185-195
In this paper we present an application that exploits a geographic information system as a front-end of a complex information system supporting the management of landslide hazard in Valtellina, an alpine valley in Northern Italy.
A decision support system (EYDENET, operational since October 1996), incorporating a geographic information system and a data interpreter based on artificial intelligence techniques, processes the readings of the 250 most significant instruments of a monitoring net of about 1000 sensors installed on different landslides in several alpine valleys.
Data gathered by extensometers, clinometers and pluviometers, to check both movements of rocks and climatic conditions which could affect them, are processed by EYDENET, that provides on-line interpretation of data, helps the users analyse them, and generates natural language explanations and alarm messages for the people responsible for the environmental management and the civil protection.

Salvaneschi, Paolo, Cadei, Mauro and Lazzari, Marco (1997): A causal modelling framework for the simulation and explanation of the behaviour of structures. In Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, 11 (3) pp. 205-216
An approach to the modelling of systems in civil engineering is presented. It allows the integration of quantitative relations in a qualitative causal framework which uses objects and Petri nets to represent the device and process ontologies. This approach supports the modelling and simulation of the behaviour of a physical system and causal explanations of it. The explanations are customisable depending on the needs of different users. The approach is shown by modelling the seismic behaviour of a masonry building, simulating it and generating causal explanations tailored for the needs of different users. An example application is presented through IGOR, a decision support system for seismic assessment of buildings and planning of precautionary operations.
