Sonic Intelligence as a Virtual Therapeutic Environment

This paper reports on the results of a research project, on comparing one virtual collaborative environment with a first-person visual immersion (first-perspective interaction) and a second one where the user interacts through a sound-kinetic virtual representation of himself (avatar), as a stress-coping environment in real-life situations. Recent developments in coping research are proposing a...

Modeling Human Intelligence as A Slow Intelligence System

[Chang, 2010] argues that slow intelligence is the property shared by surprisingly large number of intelligent systems, and presents examples in scenarios of multimedia data query and mission control in crisis management systems. This paper strengthens this argument by showing that human infant’s object tracing can be understood as a slow intelligence and be simulated in this framework. We firs...

A System for Energy Savings in an Ambient Intelligence Environment

This work presents an Ambient Intelligence system that targets energy consumption awareness and savings. The system was deployed at the School of Science and Technology of the International Hellenic University and follows a three-layer approach. The first layer hosts devices (currently smart plugs, sensor boards and smart clampers) suited for the purpose. The second layer, namely the aWESoME mi...
