An Efficient User-Centric Consent Management Design for Multiservices Platforms

User Centric Identity Management

Identity management is traditionally seen from the service providers’ point of view, meaning that it is an activity undertaken by the service provider to manage service user identities. Traditional identity management systems are designed to be cost effective and scalable primarily for the service providers, but not necessarily for the users, which often results in poor usability. Users are, fo...

An architecture for User-centric Management of Intelligent Environments

Ubiquitous computing environments are intelligent environments that have a wide array of embedded sensors and other artefacts that provide information regarding the current state of the physical environment. Utilisation of such information, known as context information has the potential to alter the natural surroundings of users in order to adapt the environment to suit the user’s needs and ass...

OpenID as an Approach for User-centric Identity Management

Paving the Way for User - Centric Design

At the time of this writing, there is substantial research interest in the subject of visible light communications (VLC) owing to its ability to offer significant traffic offloading potential in highly crowded radio frequency (RF) scenarios. We introduce the user-centric design of VLC for heterogeneous networks (HetNet), where three key aspects are identified and elaborated on: signal coverage ...

User-Centric Annotation Management for Biological Data

Annotations play an increasingly crucial role in scientific exploration and discovery, as the amount of data and the level of collaboration among scientists increases. Although all such systems are implemented to take user input (i.e., the annotations themselves), very few systems are user-centric, taking into account user preferences on how annotations should propagate and be applied over data...
