Weaving a computing fabric

Weaving a Fabric of Socially Aware Agents

The expansion of web-enabled social interaction has shed light on social aspects of intelligence that have not been typically studied within the AI paradigm so far. In this context, our aim is to understand what constitutes intelligent social behaviour and to build computational systems that support it. We argue that social intelligence involves socially aware, autonomous individuals that agree...

Weaving the Pervasive Information Fabric

As the pervasive computing infrastructure emerges, we consider the impact on information applications and their middleware requirements – what we call the pervasive information fabric. In particular, we consider the evolution of hypermedia link services to support the structuring of ad hoc information spaces. We describe a prototype implementation of an ad hoc distributed link service using a t...

Weaving a New Fabric of Natural History

Natural history offers an interestingly rich mix of traditional and modern ways of organizing data, information, and knowledge. The Linnaean tradition still defi nes the basis of how taxonomic knowledge of organisms is organized, while at the same time complementary perspectives on databases and ontologies are developed and implemented, to provide enhanced access to natural history collection d...

Weaving Social Fabric with a Home-to-Home Network Caps

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). Position paper for the CHI 2016 workshop “Future of Human-Building Interaction” Abstract We believe that the future of human-building interaction lies in the mediation of human-human interactions. In this work we introduce a smart home application called Ghosting, which is a two-way telepresence system that synchronizes the audio and lighting state of t...
