During the last decade, the scientific community has witnessed an unprecedented deployment of large-scale, federated e-Infrastructures such as Grid Computing, primarily for supporting data-intensive scientific exploration and coordinated problem solving. H ...
In this project we are studying the design of district energy networks together with operation and investment optimization, as well as CO2 emissions, with different combination of available conversion technologies such as Biomass Gasification, Organic Rank ...
Recent advances in mobile device technology have freed augmented reality (AR) applications from the constraints of desktops, laptops and head-mounted displays. But they are met with a lack of guidelines on the design and user interactions of mobile device- ...
The sun is the biggest known source of energy in our solar system. We feel its strength when it gets hot during the the day and we notice its absence during the night when we feel cold. So as to be less dependent on the sun as an energy source, we implemen ...
The design of wearable systems comes with constraints in computational and power resources. We describe the development of customized hardware for the wearable discrimination of human sleep and wake based on cardio-respiratory signals. The device was desig ...
In the framework of virtual prototyping, a virtual human is a useful tool to evaluate what one can reach or see. However because engineers and industrial designers are not necessarily skilled animators, it is important to provide intuitive or high-level in ...
User interaction with online geospatial systems is an inter-disciplinary research field that combines the two disciplines Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and geographic information sciences. In recent years online geospatial systems have been created for ...
This research was motivated by our interest in understanding the criteria for measuring the success of a recommender system from users’ point view. Even though existing work has suggested a wide range of criteria, the consistency and validity of the combin ...
In this paper we propose a framework that characterizes user interaction with webGIS. Furthermore we present a technique to remotely test and evaluate such systems. Our framework does not only include parameters describing the usability of a system, but re ...
Portability, flexibility and extensibility are essential features of social media platforms. When such Web platforms are able to take user's context into account, they provide better user experience and enhance the effectiveness of users' actions. In this ...
