  2. 1. Pervasive GameFlow : Identifying and Exploring the Mechanisms of Player Enjoyment in Pervasive Games

    Author : Kalle Jegers; Mikael Wiberg; Charlotte Wiberg; Victor Kaptelinin; Staffan Björk; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pervasive games; Playability; Flow; GameFlow; Informatics; Informatik; människa-datorinteraktion; människa-datorinteraktion;

    Abstract : Pervasive games are computer games that build, to various extents, on social interaction as a driving force in the game play, on integration between physical and virtual worlds and on constant access to constantly ongoing games from virtually every existing context (anytime, anywhere gaming). This new genre of computer games presents many challenges for both researchers and industry; one of the most important is how to understand enjoyable player experiences in this new kind of computer gaming.

  4. 2. Distributed Technology-Sustained Pervasive Applications

    Author : Kim J.L. Nevelsteen; Theo Kanter; Rahim Rahmani; Kåre Synnes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pervasive; games; engine; distributed; virtual; world; internet of things; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Technology-sustained pervasive games, contrary to technology-supported pervasive games, can be understood as computer games interfacing with the physical world. Pervasive games are known to make use of ‘non-standard input devices’ and with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), pervasive applications can be expected to move beyond games. READ MORE

  5. 3. Situation awareness in pervasive computing systems : reasoning, verification, prediction

    Author : Andrey Boytsov; Christian Becker; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situation awareness; context awareness; pervasive computing; ubiquitous computing; context prediction; Pervasive Mobile Computing; Distribuerade datorsystem;

    Abstract : The paradigm of pervasive computing aims to integrate the computing technologies in a graceful and transparent manner, and make computing solutions available anywhere and at any time. Different aspects of pervasive computing, like smart homes, smart offices, social networks, micromarketing applications, PDAs are becoming a part of everyday life. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wearable Solutions for P-Health at Work : Precise, Pervasive and Preventive

    Abstract : With a demographic change towards an older population, the structure of the labor force is shifting, and people are expected to work longer within their extended life span. However, for many people, wellbeing has been compromised by work-related problems before they reach the retirement age. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assemblies of Pervasive Services

    Author : David Svensson Fors; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Pervasive computing is a vision about computers blending into the background, being there to assist us when we need them, but not requiring constant attention. The vision covers scenarios in the home, at work, and out in the street, and builds on the ongoing development towards an increasing number of embedded computers with network connectivity. READ MORE
