UniCast, OutCast & GroupCast: Three Steps Toward Ubiquitous, Peripheral Displays

چکیده
Artifacts and surfaces that can display digital content are proliferating at a steady rate. Many of these displays will be peripheral, i.e., used for content that is not directly related to one’s primary activities. However, what kinds of content would people want to see on such peripheral displays? We have begun to investigate the use of peripheral displays in three workplace contexts: within an individual office (UniCast), outside an individual office (OutCast) and in a common area (GroupCast).

An Optimal Linear Coding for Index Coding Problem
An optimal linear coding solution for index coding problem is established. Instead of network coding approach by focus on graph theoric and algebraic methods a linear coding program for solving both unicast and groupcast index coding problem is presented. The coding is proved to be the optimal solution from the linear perspective and can be easily utilize for any number of messages. The importa...
متن کاملA Utility-Aware Middleware Architecture for Decentralized Group Communication Applications
Although unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks provide economical platforms for supporting group communication applications, their ad-hoc nature poses significant challenges to the performance of the group communication services. This paper presents the design and implementation of GroupCast − a utility-aware middleware architecture for scalable and efficient P2P group communications. The Gr...
متن کاملDefining, Designing, and Evaluating Peripheral Displays: An Analysis Using Activity Theory
Peripheral displays are an important class of ubiquitous computing applications. However, the field has suffered from a lack of clear, consistent terminology surrounding peripheral display research. We present an Activity Theory analysis of peripheral displays in order to establish common terminology and meaning for peripheral displays. We also present an Activity Theory-based approach for desi...
متن کاملA Peripheral Display Toolkit
Traditionally, computer interfaces have been confined to conventional displays and focused activities. However, as displays become embedded throughout our environment and daily lives, increasing numbers of them must operate on the periphery of our attention. Peripheral displays, ubiquitous computing devices that present information without demanding attention, are difficult to build, particular...
متن کاملSurvey Paper: Pervasive Displays for Information Presentation
Weiser’s seminal vision of ubiquitous computing had calm information presentation at its heart and identified an important challenge in providing pervasive yet unobtrusive information display while avoiding problems of information overload. Since this vision was first articulated, a range of approaches have emerged for presenting information on pervasive displays and digital screens of varying ...
