Two methods to enhance viewer's presence in movie-watching by telepresence robots in remote rooms are proposed. To keep coherance of eye-direction in all rooms, the system detects the object gazed by the viewer and controles the robot's face direction. To effectively express an affect change, which is tough to notice in non-face-to-face communication, the system interprets it into robot body action. These methods realize the suitable remote communication environment for movie-watching in remote places.

This paper proposes a framework to support programming education intended for novice programmers at universities. This proposed framework entails a collection of compile errors and source codes of a student at the time such errors occur, as well as storing the learning history of the student. Programming processes can be measured and a degree of understanding can be estimated by retaining the editing history of source codes. Furthermore, the implementation of the proposed framework, which resulted in the early identification of students with problems, is presented and evaluated.

This article reports on the results of the second meeting and workshop of the International Scientific Forum, "Towards an Information Society for All," that took place in Crete, Greece, June 15-16, 1998. In particular, it elaborates on the international research and development agenda (Stephanidis et al., 1998), which resulted from the first meeting and workshop of the Forum in San Francisco, California, on August 29, 1997, in the context of the HCI International '97 Conference. This article elaborates on the proposed research and development agenda by identifying human-computer interaction challenges and clusters of concrete recommendations for international collaborative research and technological development (RTD) activities. Four clusters of recommendations are proposed. The first three facilitate reaching technological targets, and the fourth comprises accompanying measures. The three technological clusters concern the corresponding transitions from (a) productivity tools to environments of use, (b) individual users to communities of users, and (c) computer-assisted business tasks to computer-mediated human activities. The fourth cluster covers support (horizontal) actions needed to establish a favorable environment for the creation of an information society acceptable to all citizens. Each cluster is elaborated by means of specific recommendations, plausible RTD objectives, and likely or expected outcomes.
