Design Probes for Handheld and Ubiquitous Computing

by Harold Thimbleby
"... . In developing electronic gadgets, meters and oscilloscopes are used to probe into their workings, so that engineers can understand how they are behaving and how they can be improved. Analogously, this paper suggests a variety of conceptual probes that can be used to explore the process of desi ..."

of design. The probes focus designers' attention onto successfully managing complexity and in coping with socio-economic influences on design practice in the real world. 1 Introduction We may take it as self-evident that design should be good, yet it is also clear that it is di#cult to make it so

Charting Past, Present and Future Research in Ubiquitous Computing

by Gregory D. Abowd, Elizabeth D. Mynatt - ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction , 2000
"... . The proliferation ofcomputing into the physical world promises more than the ubiquitous availability of computing infrastructure; it suggests new paradigms of interaction inspired by constant access to information and computational capabilities. For the past decade, applicationdriven research in ..."

Pervasive Computing: Vision and Challenges

by M. Satyanarayanan - IEEE Personal Communications , 2001
"... This paper discusses the challenges in computer systems research posed by the emerging field of pervasive computing. It first examines the relationship of this new field to its predecessors: distributed systems and mobile computing. It then identifies four new research thrusts: effective use of smar ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research

by Guanling Chen, David Kotz , 2000
"... Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day, nearby people and devices, and user activity). Since it was proposed about a decade ago, many researchers have studied this topi ..."

The Challenges of Mobile Computing

by George H. Forman, John Zahorjan - IEEE Computer , 1994
"... this article we focus on the issues pertinent to software designers without delving into the lower level details of the hardware realization of mobile computers. We look at some promising approaches under investigation and also consider their limitations. The many issues to be dealt with stem from t ..."

Cyberguide: A Mobile Context-Aware Tour Guide

by Gregory D. Abowd, Christopher G. Atkeson, Jason Hong, Sue Long, Rob Kooper, Mike Pinkerton , 1996
"... Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we are buil ..."
