Fundamentals of physiological computing

This review paper is concerned with the development of physiological computing systems that employ real-time measures of psychophysiology to communicate the psychological state of the user to an adaptive system. It is argued that physiological computing has enormous potential to innovate human– computer interaction by extending the communication bandwidth to enable the development of ‘smart’ te...

Cover Feature Physiological Computing

Brain−computer interfaces (BCIs) hold great promise for improving information delivery and preserving user attention, but this promise has not yet translated to practical use. A prototype BCI that optimizes email notifications in noisy, complex environments, CARSON combines multiple measures from the brain to predict both cognitive workload and message relevancy to determine the optimum time to...

Scalable optimization in grid, cloud, and intelligent network computing - foreword

Global optimization in large-scale distributed systems requires massive amounts of computations for complex objective functions. Conventional global optimization based on stochastic algorithms cannot guarantee an actual global optimum with a finite searching iteration. Therefore, scalability is a desirable feature for the optimization techniques in highly distributed dynamic environments, where...
