“Best Paper Award” in Rome

Benedikt Gollan receives “Best Paper Award” in Rome.

PCA employee Benedikt Gollan received the Best Paper Award for his paper “SEEV-Effort – Is it Enough to Model Human Attentional Behavior in Public Display Settings” at the 8th International Conference for Future Computational Technologies and Applications – Future Computing 2016 – in Rome.

The paper, which received an award from the jury, shows that in combination with an adapted version of the SEEV attention model, the generic, effort-based behavioral description “Directed Effort” developed in the PCA-Studio is capable of describing and predicting human attentional behavior in public spaces. This implies an empirical validation of the developed behavioral description, which, through a special analysis method, allows the use of sensor data as input for attention-sensitive interaction systems in public spaces.

Congratulations on the award!
