We will develop a Scala-based language and a development environment to simplify the construction of cloud-backed smartphone applications, both by professionals and by end users. We will develop programming assistance tools that use cloud analysis (running ...
As the world becomes more interdependent and computing grows more collaborative, there is a need for new abstractions and tools to help users work together. We recently introduced entangled queries – a mechanism for information exchange between database qu ...
This article considers the software problems of reuse, interoperability and evolution in the context of Ambient Intelligence. A novel approach is introduced: the Environment, Application, Adaptation (EAA) is streamlined for Ambient Intelligence and is evol ...
The trends in web development of educational applications and of Web 2.0 or social applications are converging. Platforms are designed to host a variety of software components (called widgets or plugins), which can be organised or combined (mashed-up) at u ...
This paper describes the challenges faced in ICTD by reviewing the lessons learned from a project geared at improving the livelihood of marginal farmers in India through wireless sensor networks. Insufficient user participation, lack of attention to user n ...
In modern mobile networks, users increasingly share their location with third-parties in return for location-based services. In this way, users obtain services customized to their location. Yet, such communications leak location information about users. Ev ...
A mechanism to accurately assess the performance of complex fenestration systems (CFS) is crucial for driving the appropriate adoption of these technologies to improve user comfort and energy use in both new construction and retrofit design. Typically, CFS ...
We propose a novel way to augment a real-world scene with minimal user intervention on a mobile phone; the user only has to point the phone camera to the desired location of the augmentation. Our method is valid for horizontal or vertical surfaces only, bu ...
In this paper, we present an initial study of on-line unsupervised adaptation for face verification. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first study of this type. The key contributions consist of four test scenarios for the BANCA database as well as tw ...
The visualization of specific 3-D urban scenes can be done calling upon different techniques, from those more traditional, such as photogrammetry, to the most advanced ones, such as laser scanning that uses different techniques and algorithms of selection ...
