The Post-WIMP era has brought about novel input modalities such as touch, tangibles or gestures that allow users to manipulate digital contents more intuitively. These novel input modalities make use of the users' innate skills instead of imposing the learning of new interaction techniques. Nonetheless, there has not been a systematic evaluation on how, or if, these interfaces influence the users' performance and/or preference: distinct interfaces may be more or less appropriate regarding different age groups, user profiles, contexts or type of tasks. This work is a preliminary evaluation on whether the users' efficiency is indeed influenced by different input modalities or age. We conducted a target acquisition performance evaluation with 60 subjects to understand how different input modalities influence the speed and accuracy of three specific age groups (children, young adults and older-adults) when dealing with a continuous selection task. Three input modalities were considered to perform the task (mouse, touch and gestures) and the methodology was based on Fitts' law, a target acquisition performance evaluation model. Overall, when comparing movement times amongst the three groups, there are significant differences between age groups regarding the index of performance. We believe our findings may show that indeed the type of input modality used and the user's age could affect one's performance.

This report presents the advances of UCOL after the first year of the realization phase. A number of modifications have been made since the original plan, allowing the project to be feasible applying current technology. The new approach to the physical layer is described together with the already developed optical subsystems; finally the UCOL access protocol is reported

Neste contexto nasceu a Telefonia sobre IP, que oferece através desta infra-estrutura a oportunidade de criar sistemas globais de comunicação multimédia. O Session Initiation Protocol, utilizado nesta arquitectura, é um protocolo de sinalização e controlo de chamadas entre dois ou mais participantes. Neste artigo é feita uma apresentação do serviço de Telefonia sobre IP, são analisados diversos protocolos tipicamente usados na arquitectura protocolar da IPtel, e é explicada a arquitectura e o funcionamento do protocolo SIP. São também referidos vários modos de mobilidade disponibilizados pelo SIP ao nível da aplicação. Finalmente são apresentadas algumas características do sIPtel, um sistema IPtel desenvolvido em Java com suporte para vídeo e que utiliza o protocolo SIP na sinalização de chamadas

This system takes advantage of a recently available support--the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)--which represents a significant improvement in the performance of communication systems, and is intended to offer a new and practical service while maintaining compatibility with the Alphamosaic Videotex.
