Designing smart artifacts for smart environments.
- Computer
, 2005
"... A n integral part of our environment, computers contribute to the social context that determines our day-to-day activities while at the office, on the road, at home, or on vacation. The widespread availability of devices such as desktop and laptop computers has fueled our increasing dependency on a ..."

on a wide range of computing services. The technological advances that underlie the laptop, PDA, or cell phone also provide the foundation for nontraditional computer-based devices such as interactive walls, tables, and chairs-examples of roomware components that provide new functionality when combined
EdgeBuffer: Caching and Prefetching Content at the Edge in the MobilityFirst Future Internet Architecture
, 2015
"... The prevalence of mobile devices especially smart-phones has attracted research on mobile content delivery techniques. In this paper, we propose to take advantage of the storage available at wireless access points to bring content closer to mobile devices, hence improving the downloading performance ..."

performance. Specifically, we propose to have a separate popularity based cache and a prefetch buffer at the network edge to capture both long-term and short-term content access patterns. Further, we point out that it is insufficient to rely on a device’s past history to predict when and where to prefetch
User Behavior in Location Search on Mobile Devices
"... Abstract. Location search engines are an important part of GPS-enabled de-vices such as mobile phones and tablet computers. In this paper, we study how users behave when they interact with a location search engine by analyzing logs from a popular GPS-navigation service to find out whether mobile use ..."

users ’ location search characteristics differ from those of regular web search. In particular, we analyze query- and session-based characteristics and the temporal distribution of location searches performed on smart phones and tablet computers. Our findings may be used to improve the design of search
Smart Briefcases
"... In recent years computational devices have become afford-able to the point where is common for a user to own mobile phones, PDAs, Laptops and Desktops. He may use these de-vices both for entertaining purposes or in order to perform his work anywhere. Due to this fact it is expected that a user store ..."

An Efficient Hierarchical Scheme for Locating Highly Mobile Users
- ACM Proceedings for International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM
, 1998
"... To accommodate the increase in user population in future personal communication systems, hierarchical architectures of location databases have been proposed. In this paper, a scheme based on forwarding pointers is presented, that reduces the cost of the overall network and database traffic generated ..."

Gesture-Based Interaction: A New Dimension for Mobile User Interfaces
"... Today, smart phones with touchscreens and sensors are the predominant, fastest growing class of consumer computing devices. However, because these devices are used in diverse situations, and have unique capabilities and form factors, they also raise new user interface challenges, and at the same tim ..."

In this talk, I will focus on gesture-based interaction, an important interaction behavior enabled by touchscreens and built-in sensors, which sets mobile interaction apart from traditional graphical user interfaces. I will first talk about
UVa Bus.NET: Enhancing User Experiences on Smart Devices through Context-Aware Computing *
"... The compact, mobile device such as the PocketPC is often regarded as little more than a handy, smaller “portal ” by which to access information kept on larger back-end machines such as Exchange Servers and WWW Servers. However, the true value of the device may ultimately result from more sophisticat ..."

sophisticated approaches by which the device can fully recognize and change its behavior based on its context such as location, remaining battery life, available networking, and user preferences. In this paper, we present “UVa Bus.NET”, a testbed at the University of Virginia for developing and evaluating
Predictive Indoor Navigation using Commercial Smart-phones
"... Abstract—Low-cost navigation solutions for indoor environments have a variety of real-world applications ranging from emergency evacuation to mobility aids for people with disabilities. Challenges for indoor navigation include robust localization in the absence of GPS, intuitive recognition of user ..."

Leveraging Big Data Analytics for Cache-Enabled Wireless Networks
"... Abstract-While 5G wireless networks are expected to handle the ever growing data avalanche, classical deployment/optimization approaches such as hyper-dense deployment of base stations or having more bandwidth are cost-inefficient, and are therefore seen as stopgaps. In this regard, context-aware a ..."
