When building intelligent spaces, the knowledge representation for encapsulating rooms, users, groups, roles, and other information is a fundamental design question. Here we prese...
Pervasive computing applications are increasingly leveraging contextual information from several sources to provide users with behavior appropriate to the environment in which the...
A novel text input for public displays and palmtop computers is presented that separates the input from the display of the edited text. While the public display shows both the edi...
This paper describes a system that can observe, recognise and analyse human movements, to provide this awareness to context-aware applications. The movement recognition and charact...
Many mobile applications can be greatly enhanced when provided with the locations of people and devices. Ultrasonic location systems have been shown to supply location information...
We present a novel method of extracting topological and metric geographical data using only positional data sensed from personnel movements. We extend research from the field of r...
