Hermes/dl - A Design Language for Interactive Systems

The design language Hermes/dl aims to facilitate communication between all parties involved in the creation, design, realization and evolution of interactive systems. [pollux.usc.edu/~afrancoi/hermesdl]
Publications: TPMC, SoD 2007

Adaptive Context-Dependent Classification

A novel, dynamic computational model for adaptive context-dependent classification. Demonstrations apply the model to color classification and color-based attention. [pollux.usc.edu/~afrancoi/acdc]

ESP: Expression Synthesis Project (with Elaine Chew)

The Expression Synthesis Project (ESP) explores the use of a driving interface for expression synthesis, also known as performance rendering. ESP aims to provide a compelling metaphor for expressive performance so as to make high-level expressive decisions accessible to non-experts. [www-rcf.usc.edu/~mucoaco/ESP]
Publications: AMC 2006, ACE 2006, NIME 2005.
