Portugal is the country in Europe where the death rate in winter and summer has the highest correlation with outdoor temperatures. The Portuguese National Institute of Public Health Ricardo Jorge has developed a national warning system for heat waves called ICARO, which has been in place since 1999 (and is the oldest in Europe). However, it present...

Decentralized ledger technology (DLT) is becoming ubiquitous in today’s society. However, organizations need to connect their existing systems and processes to blockchains (centralized, decentralized) securely and reliably, sometimes also implying that they need to connect blockchains (decentralized, decentralized). This challenge is known as block...

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has the potential to transform the agri-food sector, empowering rural and underserved farming communities by enabling the creation of a more environmentally sustainable and socio-economically inclusive food system. Several PoC and pilot projects are running all over the world to test this specific use case. Howev...

Web-immersion – i.e., a deep sense of cognitive and perceptual absorption engendered by the content and interactive features of a website - plays an important role in our modern, digital world. Yet, this topic has received little attention from design and HCI scholars. The lack of tools to assess and measure immersion in the Web may severely limit...

Sustainable Development (SD) in its dimensions – environment, economy, and society – is a growing area of concern within the HCI community. This paper advances a systematic literature review on sustainability across the Sustainable Human-Computer Interaction (SHCI) body of work. The papers were classified according to the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) f...

The adoption of energy efficiency practices and increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the power system are estimated to play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight climate change. To foster energy transition, energy education initiatives should primarily ta...

In this article, we report on findings from an empirical study designed to assess factors determining the experience of immersion in desktop-based web-browsing, which is identified as occurring when a user reports a deep sense of cognitive and perceptual absorption in the content and/or the interaction with a website. A within-subjects study was de...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading has emerged as the next-generation energy management mechanism that enables energy consumers and prosumers – i.e., households that function as both energy producers and consumers - to exchange energy directly with each other. The full development of such a decentralized energy market poses several challenges to the...

Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), such as blockchain, are gaining increasing attention in the energy sector, where they can be used to support Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading. Several proof-of-concept and pilot projects are running all over the world to test this specific use case. However, despite much work addressing the technical and regu...

As the electrification of the transportation sector grows the electric grid must handle the new load resulting from electric vehicles (EV) charging. The integration of this new load in the grid has been subject to work in the smart-charging research field, however, while normal-sized EVs often offer chargers or other functions that support smart-ch...

The paper discusses the role of Communication Design in promoting cultural heritage and enhancing local identity. It deals with the need of designing communication systems able to increase people's understanding and engagement with a given place. We argue that a communication strategy able to leverage on both tangible and intangible aspects of plac...

Nowadays the relationship between people, culture and territories is changing. On the one hand, great emphasis is placed on the value of cultural heritage and local identity as means for social cohesion and economic growth. On the other hand, experience-based tourism is growing and, consequently, it increases the need of an experience-based communi...

This paper highlights the role of Communication Design as an agent for the promotion of territory. Our research arises from the need to communicate the place identity by sharing different typology of documents, which together represent a heritage of memories, both tangible and intangible. The analysis of cultural tourism industry reveals that trave...

Osserviamo due importanti cambiamenti che coinvolgono molte realtà territoriali. Da una parte la loro identità è in costante trasformazione; un cambiamento che si traduce nella progressiva perdita del senso di appartenenza al luogo. Contemporaneamente, l'industria turistica registra un aumentato interesse verso le mete minori e il turismo motivazio...

This paper presents the didactic method applied to design: experimental format of digital publishing for urban spaces. We present didactic projects developed by students of Master Degree course in Communication Design (Politecnico di Milano). The aim of our course is to provide to the students a method to design communication devices and systems ca...

The modern urban environment interlinks social and morphological transformations that determine powerful mutations in the landscape. In a time of “dematerialization”, to enhance the value of the place identity is a Communication Design aim: the current necessity is to find some new suitable languages and tool able to describe the contemporary city...
