  2. 1. Self-Knowledge/Self-Regulation/Self-Control: A Ubiquitous Computing Perspective

    Author : Lars Hall; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pervasive computing; affective computing; persuasive computing; Psychology; Psykologi; ubiquitous computing; computer-mediated extrospection; precommitment; distributed motivation; distributed cognition; neurofeedback; biofeedback; metacognition; brain-imaging; learning strategies; emotion regulation; mental strategies; verbal report; implicit learning; consciousness; introspection; self-control; Self-knowledge; self-regulation;

    Abstract : This thesis is about self-knowledge, self-regulation and self-control. All three of these terms are easily understandable, and apply to situations in our daily lives (like misjudging one’s own competence at retiling the bathroom floor, or feeling the anxiety and thrill of doing unsupervised work, or guiltily hitting the snooze-button for the fifth time, and missing half a day of school).

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Artefactual Intelligence: The Development and Use of Cognitively Congenial Artefacts

    Author : David de Léon; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pervasive computing; affective computing; persuasive computing; Psychology; Psykologi; computer-mediated extrospection; precommitment; self-control; situated cognition; distributed motivation; cognitive ethnography; distributed cognition; cognitive biographies; redesign; task–artefact cycle; artefact evolution; artefact design; task structure; cognitive task; cognitive congeniality; artefactual intelligence; cognitive artefacts; task environment; tools; Cognition; artefacts; ubiquitous computing;

    Abstract : How can tools help structure tasks to make them cognitively easier to perform? How do artefacts, and our strategies for using them, develop over time in cognitively beneficial ways? These are two of the main questions that are explored in the five papers collected in this thesis. The first paper details an ethnographic study conducted on people cooking in their homes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Managing Applications and Data in Distributed Computing Infrastructures

    Author : Salman Zubair Toor; Sverker Holmgren; Dirk Düllmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed Computing Infrastructures; Grids; Clouds; Application Management; Distributed Storage; Resource Allocation; Beräkningsvetenskap; Scientific Computing;

    Abstract : During the last decades the demand for large-scale computational and storage resources in science has increased dramatically. New computational infrastructures enable scientists to enter a new mode of science, e-science, which complements traditional theory and experiments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Self-Management for Large-Scale Distributed Systems

    Author : Ahmad Al-Shishtawy; Vlassov Vlassov; Seif Haridi; Per Brand; Leandro Navarro Moldes; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-Management; Autonomic Computing; Control Theory; Distributed Systems; Grid Computing; Cloud Computing; Elastic Services; Key-Value Stores; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : Autonomic computing aims at making computing systems self-managing by using autonomic managers in order to reduce obstacles caused by management complexity. This thesis presents results of research on self-management for large-scale distributed systems. READ MORE
