Ubiquitous Computing for Cognitive Decline: Findings from Intel’s Proactive Health Research

Design Research Techniques for Elders with Cognitive Decline: Examples from Intel’s Digital Health Group

Concept of a robust & training-free probabilistic system for real-time intention analysis in teams

Present-day mobility and ubiquity of computing devices make information technology accessible for user activities that are temporally and, especially, spatially distributed. Besides mobile systems this enables ubiquitous computing that – as Weiser phrased it – “enhances computer use by making many computers available throughout the physical environment, while making them effectively invisible t...

Coping with Health-Related Stressors and Normative Losses Associated with Aging Proactively: Residential Relocation in Later Life

Purpose: Investigations of health and wellness in later life tend to be through a lens of dependency with the primary focus on deficits, loss and decline. Much less attention has been focused on the creative, adaptive and proactive aspects of aging and health within the context of residential relocation. This study explores the extent to which older adults employ proactive strategies to enhance...

Proactive Information Delivery System in Ubiquitous Networks

To provide services with a concept of anywhere, anytime, anyone, anything, and any device, ubiquitous and pervasive computing (UPC) becomes a popular paradigm. The purpose of UPC is to emerge computers into the real world to serve humans and the underneath infrastructure of UPC is called ubiquitous networks. In order to provide ubiquitous services (u-Service) which deliver useful information to...

Learning Technology Research Taskforce: Middleware for Pervasive and Proactive Computing

This paper explores proactive and pervasive computing, and looks at the challenges faced by middleware for pervasive computing. Pervasive or ubiquitous computing is a vast area of research that has implications for networking, applications, development environments, user interfaces, remote sensing, and even the form of what we today know as a computer. It seeks to connect computers to one anoth...
