Writing is key to educational and workplace success. The majority of computer-based writing support applications target K-12 students and offer standard feedback concerning the U.S.centric, 5-paragraph, expository essay genre, which is typically taught to developing writers and used on standardized tests. This writing demo takes a “left turn”. By “left turn”, we mean that this demo is illustrat...

In this demonstration paper we describe a low-power spectrum agile medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks. Our protocol allows sensor nodes to dynamically select an interference minimal channel for data communication. It does not pose any synchronization restrictions on the nodes and effectively handles the dynamics of the network such as new nodes joining and old nodes lea...

Polarized topics often spark discussion and debate on social media. Recent studies have shown that polarized debates have a specific clustered structure in the endorsement network, which indicates that users direct their endorsements mostly to ideas they already agree with. Understanding these polarized discussions and exposing social media users to content that broadens their views is of param...

Demosaicking (or demosaicing) is the problem of interpolating full color information on an image where only one color component is known at each pixel. Most demosaicking methods involve some kind of estimation of the underlying image structure, for example, choosing adaptively between interpolating in the horizontal or vertical direction. This article discusses the implementation details of the...

Advances in the IT-sector have shifted the conventional development of products into the direction of integrated product-service systems. Product-service systems promise a long(er) lifetime due to latest versions of (software-based) services that operate on the purchased hardware. Furthermore, they can be extremely adaptable and thus ensure connectivity and compatibility to other existing or fu...

Crowdsourced mobile video streaming enables nearby mobile video users to aggregate network resources to improve their video streaming performances. However, users are often selfish and may not be willing to cooperate without proper incentives. Designing an incentive mechanism for such a scenario is challenging due to the users’ asynchronous downloading behaviors and their private valuations for...

This demonstration shows the RB-HORST prototype running live on real hardware. RB-HORST offers WiFi offloading, video caching, and video prefetching based on social and overlay network predictions. RB-HORST is intended to run on home gateways/routers which are represented in the demo as low power computers. The demo will show the functionality of RB-HORST and how users can interact with the sys...

We present an interactive demo that illustrates the performance of our multi-agent-based system for trading ’green’ energy. The system implements the NRG-X-Change concept and uses real-life data for energy consumption. NRGX-Change encourages prosumers to locally trade their excess of energy while payments are carried out using NRGcoins, which is a novel decentralized digital currency. We illust...
