Beyond Application-Led Research in Pervasive Display Systems

Analysis of the Evaluation of Application-Led Research in Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing researchers typically conduct their research through the development of prototype applications. Such research is motivated by a well-defined problem and evaluated by assessing the impact of deployed solutions. Accordingly, the evaluation phase assumes a critically important role in this process. Failure to sufficiently evaluate an application can have wide ranging negative e...

Selection and Control of Applications in Pervasive Displays

Public displays are progressively embedded in urban settings. Such displays become elements of an integrated pervasive ecosystem in which various displays with multiple applications are accessed by multiple viewers. Still, many public displays employ content that is based on pre-defined schedules as encountered in conventional digital signage systems. We envision future display deployments embe...

Application Synchronisation on Public Displays based on PubSubHubbub

Large-scale pervasive public displays networks are becoming an emerging paradigm and represent a radical transformation in the way we think about information dissemination in public spaces. One of the features of pervasive public display systems is their ability to create experiences that span across multiple displays in a coordinated fashion. Proprietary single site display solutions exist but...

Pervasive Display Networks – Real-world Internet Services for Public Displays

Pervasive Display Networks is an ongoing research activity at NEC Laboratories Europe that aims at providing a service platform for a collection of intelligent and networked displays that adapt to changes in the real world. Pervasive Display Networks provide personalized and context-aware services to end-users in various environments. The IST SENSEI project develops a global context and actuato...
