During the past years, ubiquitous computing has influenced Technology-enhanced Learning. This is widely known as ubiquitous learning. On the other hand, the widespread ownership of mobile devices has lead to an increased interest to ubiquitous learning that is supported by mobile devices. This is commonly referred to as mobile learning. An important success factor for ubiquitous and mobile lear...

Object-oriented frameworks have become a key element in the design of distributed systems. They make the existence of the physical and operating system level resources transparent to the designer and provide the abstract view of the distributed systems as a set of ob-view of the distributed systems as a set of objects that interact by invoking well-defined interfaces of each other. Easy reuse o...

Students studying a distance education course on introductory object-oriented programming are provided with a set of practical activities to support their learning. Each practical activity consists of a set of tasks to be worked through at home over a specified period of time. Whilst students are provided with considerable guidance on how to approach their practical work we have no knowledge of...

Sensor networks are increasingly used across various application domains. Their usage has the advantage of automated, often continuous, monitoring of activities and events. Ubiquitous sensor networks detect location of people and objects and their movement. In our research, we employ a ubiquitous sensor network to track the movement of players in a tennis match. By doing so, our goal is to crea...

Ubiquitous computing offers many varied applications but will probably have its most significant impact on day-byday living. "The most profound technologies are those that disappear," wrote Mark Weiser. "They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it." Over the past decade, researchers have sought to understand the ways ubiquitous technologies wo...

To make practical ubiquitous computing environment for everyday activities especially for house and home, the environment has to be proactively managed by the users at home themselves. This paper introduces an “Our Ubiquitous Computing Home Inside Project” and outlines some of our usercentered information architecture and interaction technique to provide practical ubiquitous computing environme...

It is pleasure to be able to hold one day workshop focusing on the practical application of sensor networking technology at the SAINT2007. The digital information and communication infrastructure as empowered by Internet technology has already become a major part of the infrastructure platform of people's daily activities and of working environment. The Internet is now mutating toward a new sta...

OF THE THESIS Human Motion Recognition Using A Wireless Wearable System by John Paul Varkey Thesis Director: Prof. Dario Pompili The future of human computer interaction systems lies in how intelligently these systems can take into account the user’s context, that is, how well the data that they produce characterizes the user’s current situation. Context awareness is essential for ubiquitous an...
