Virtual Personal Assistant

The Graphics Calculator as Personal Mathematical Assistant

Although much has been written about technology in mathematics, much less has happened in schools. A major reason for this is the limited availability of computer hardware, not only in lesser-developed countries.

Evaluating A Personal Information Assistant

Personal Information Assistants that search on user’s behalf aim to fetch relevant documents on a regular basis. We have developed such assistant system and evaluated it using a long-term, task-oriented approach involving real users. Current evaluation methodologies are inadequate and hence have resorted to a long-term real user study. This paper describes the design and development of our syst...

Student Research Assistant (hiwi)

The EU Project Allow Ensembles aims to develop a new design principle for large-scale collective adaptive systems (CAS) [2] based on the concepts of cells and ensembles, where cells represent a concrete functionality in a system, and the ensembles are collections of cells which collaborate in order to fulfill a certain goal in a given context. Adaptive Pervasive Flows (APF) are based on workflo...
