Analysis of the Evaluation of Application-Led Research in Pervasive Computing
(2006)Pervasive computing researchers typically conduct their research through the development of prototype applications. Such research is motivated by a well-defined problem and evaluated by assessing the impact of deployed ... -
Decentralized Clustering in Pure P2P Overlay Networks Using Schelling's Model
(IEEE, 2007)Clustering involves arranging a P2P overlay network?s topology so that peers having certain characteristics are grouped together as neighbors. Clustering can be used to organize a P2P overlay network so that requests ... -
Dynamic Contextual eLearning - Dynamic Content Discovery, Capture and Learning Object Generation from Open Corpus Sources
(AACE - Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education, 2005) -
Facilitating dynamic schedules for healthcare professionals
(IEEE, 2006)Healthcare professionals working in highly dynamic hospital environments typically have correspondingly dynamic schedules that are difficult to manage. Emergent tasks and shifting priorities result in existing schedules ... -
Fault Recovery and Redundancy in Real-time Wireless TDMA
(2008)This paper aims to address the issue of message delivery reliability in real-time, wireless communication systems. We discuss the provision of a probabilistic admissions control protocol that adapts retransmissions ... -
Field-Programmable Physics Processor (FP?)
(Xilinx, 2006) -
A Framework for Benchmarking Interactive Collision Detection
(Comenius University, 2009)Collision detection is a vital component of applications spanning myriad fields, yet there exists no means for developers to analyse the suitability of their collision detection algorithms across the spectrum of scenarios ... -
High performance scientific computing using FPGAs with IEEE floating point and logarithmic arithmetic for Lattice QCD
(IEEE, 2006)The recent development of large FPGAs along with the availability of a variety of floating point cores have made it possible to implement high-performance matrix and vector kernel operations on FPGAs. In this paper we ... -
Identifying requirements and features for communications systems between older people in care settings
(IEEE, 2010)Care settings for older people, such as nursing homes, can have low levels of social interaction, which has been shown in many studies as being crucial to both the mental and physical well-being of older adults. ... -
Leveraging Domain Expertise to Support Complex, Personalized and Semantically Meaningful Queries Across Separate Data Sources
(IEEE, 2010)Abstract?Almost all information domains have witnessed an exponential increase in the amount of structured data available. However, there is still a lack of support for ordinary users to create complex queries spanning ... -
LOD human representations: a comparative study
(2005)Real-time crowd systems are increasing in popularity and importance. With this comes the need for accurate low level of detail (LOD) human model representations. Currently, the two most commonly used representations for ... -
OCCS: Enabling the Dynamic Discovery, Harvesting and Delivery of Educational Content from Open Corpus Sources
(2008)The World Wide Web (WWW) provides access to a vast array of educational content, a great deal of which is ideal for incorporation into eLearning experiences. However sourcing, harvesting and incorporating appropriate ... -
Open Corpus Learning Content; Harvesting Knowledge to provide Equitable Access to Education for All
(2007)For generations education and educational institutions were closed books, available only to those privileged enough to attend these institutions. However the internet has unlocked the door to knowledge for countless ... -
Optimizing interpreters by tuning opcode orderings on virtual machines for modern architectures
(ACM, 2011)Virtual machines (VMs) are commonly used to implement programming languages such as Java, Python and Lua. VMs are typically implemented using an interpreter, a JIT compiler, or some combination of the two. A long-standing ... -
A Peer-to-Peer Reference Architecture
(IEEE, 2006)Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are extremely popular on the Internet because they allow users to share information in a decentralised manner. Internet users use file-sharing applications (e.g., BitTorrent, KaZaA) to ... -
Secure routing for mobile ad-hoc networks
(IEEE, 2005)In this article we present a survey of secure ad hoc routing protocols for mobile wireless networks. A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing ... -
Semantic Interoperability to support context in adaptive applications
(IEEE, 2008)The challenge of supporting Ubiquitous Computing is to assist the user by helping their applications make better decisions with better information. Smart spaces and other information sources can provide this information, ... -
Service Oriented eLearning Platforms: From Monolithic Systems to Flexible Services
(2007)The learning management system (LMS) has dominated Internet-based education for the past two decades. However, the traditional LMS is failing to keep pace with advances in Internet technologies and social interactions ... -
Supporting Context-Awareness: A Taxonomic Review
(2008)Context-aware applications realise the vision of ubiquitous computing by utilising information gathered from their environment to automatically adapt behaviour. To support the development of such applications, researchers ...
