2. 1. Distributed Immersive Participation : Realising Multi-Criteria Context-Centric Relationships on an Internet of Things

   Author : Jamie Walters; Theo Kanter; Roch Glitho; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pervasive computing; ubiquitous computing; mediasense; context; context awareness; context centric; peer-to-peer; immersive participation; multi-criteria context; context proximity; context distance; evolving context; context-aware query languages; publish.subscribe; distributed context awareness; sensor information; context information; context models; context relationships; context relations; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Advances in Internet-of-Things integrate sensors and actuators in everyday items or even people transforming our society at an accelerated pace. This occurs in areas such as agriculture, logistics, transport, healthcare, and smart cities and has created new ways to interact with and experience entertainment, (serious) games, education, etc. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards Enhancing Awareness in Designing Collaborative Computing Systems

   Author : Khanh Duy Le; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; social network; Workspace awareness; vibro-tactile feedback; Contextual awareness; Social awareness; distributed creative group work; tabletop; Awareness; Collaboration;

   Abstract : Awareness is critical to the success of collaborative activities. User awareness (from here on: awareness) is a system’s capacity to provide comprehensible and appropriate communication cues from one user to the other users of the same system. 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. Cognition and Cultural Context : An Inquiry into Gadamer's Theory of Context-Dependence

   Author : Anders Odenstedt; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Context-dependence; presupposition; tradition; historicism; hermeneutics; Gadamer; Dilthey; Heidegger; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

   Abstract : This study deals with the problem of the context-dependence of thought, as dealt with by the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002). Gadamer stresses what he sees as the difficulty of bringing to awareness and criticising influences which preserve such dependence, and the role of traditions (Überlieferungen) in this regard.

7. 5. Plug and play context-awareness for pervasive environments

   Author : Katharina Rasch; Ayani Rassul; Alois Ferscha; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pervasive systems; context-awareness; service discovery; machine learning; automatic service annotation; preference mining;

   Abstract : Pervasive environments are physical environments interwoven with a rich set of embedded sensors, actuators and displays offering their services to the user. The considerable amount of computing technology in such environments should be as unobtrusive as possible, aiding the user in everyday activities instead of being distracting. READ MORE
