"Maybe it becomes a buddy, but do not call it a robot" - Seamless cooperation between companion robotics and smart homes (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper describes the findings arising from ongoing qualitative usability evaluation studies on mobile companion robotics in smart home environments from two research projects focused on socio-technical innovation to support independent living (Co...

Hierarchical event selection for video storyboards with a case study on snooker video visualization (2011)
Journal Article
Video storyboard, which is a form of video visualization, summarizes the major events in a video using illustrative visualization. There are three main technical challenges in creating a video storyboard, (a) event classification, (b) event selection...

Chemistry for context awareness (C2A) (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Awareness is a necessary aspect of interaction of present day devices and communications in pervasive environments. Awareness is dependant on the information of surroundings that is seen as 'Context'. The sources of context have grown exponentially i... Read More about Chemistry for context awareness (C2A).
Verifying requirements for resource-bounded agents (2011)
Thesis
This thesis presents frameworks for the modelling and verification of resource-bounded reasoning agents. The resources considered include the time, memory, and communication bandwidth required by agents to achieve a goal. The scalability and expressi...

Self-repairing clusters for time-efficient and scalable actor-fault-tolerance in wireless sensor and actor networks (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A new solution for fault-tolerance in wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) is proposed. The solution deals with fault-tolerance of actors, contrary to most of the literature that only considers sensors. It considers real-time communication, and...

Semantic annotation for indexing archaeological context: A prototype development and evaluation (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The paper discusses the process of developing Semantic Annotations, a form of metadata for assigning conceptual entities to textual instances, in this case archaeological grey literature. The use of Information Extraction (IE), a Natural Language Pro... Read More about Semantic annotation for indexing archaeological context: A prototype development and evaluation.
On computing in fine-grained compartmentalised Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2011)
Journal Article
We introduce results of computer experiments on information processing in a hexagonal array of vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) solution in a sub-excitable mode. We represent values of Boolean variables by excitation wave-fragments and... Read More about On computing in fine-grained compartmentalised Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.
Cameras as cultural probes in requirements gathering - Exploring their potential in supporting the design of assistive technology (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A pre-requisite for a human-centred design approach to technology development is gaining an intimate understanding of not only the people for whom the technology is being designed, but also the contexts within which they will be using it. This paper... Read More about Cameras as cultural probes in requirements gathering - Exploring their potential in supporting the design of assistive technology.
