چکیده
As a society, we have seen the quality of our public spaces declining for the past century. Urban areas have become more focused on the transportation of vehicles through the public space, as use of cars has increased, than on the ability of people to enjoy the space. This has led to city streets that function poorly in their ability to move traffic and act as a social center for the area. A new idea has been developed to combat this social disorder: Shared Space. Shared Space is an approach to public space design that incorporates non-conventional methods of traffic management in order to improve the quality of life in urban areas. Included in this report is an explanation of what problems shared space solves and why it works. Also, studies of shared space environments in Europe will be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this design on traffic management and safety.

Conngurable Shared Virtual Memory for Parallel Computing
Most distributed-shared memory(DSM) systems use a global address space which is shared by all processing nodes. Although the global address space is convenient in providing a single address space for programming models, it is applicable to DSM systems with relatively small number of processing nodes. As the system size grows, there is a problem with scalability. To avoid this drawback, a new sh...
متن کاملCalibration and Validation of a Shared Space Model: a Case Study
Shared space is an innovative streetscape design which seeks minimum separation between vehicle traffic and pedestrians. Urban design is moving towards space sharing as a means of increasing the community texture of street surroundings. Its unique features aim to balance priorities and allow cars and pedestrians to co-exist harmoniously without the need to dictate behaviour. There is, however, ...
متن کاملCombining SETL/E with Linda∗
SETL/E is a procedural prototyping language based on the theory of finite sets. The coordination language Linda provides a distributed shared memory model, called tuple space, together with some atomic operations on this shared data space. Process communication and synchronization in Linda is also called generative communication, because tuples are added to, removed from and read from tuple spa...
متن کاملLiving Labs for UMAP Evaluation
Generating shared task initiatives in the user-modelling, adaptation and personalization (UMAP) space is difficult, especially given individual difference, privacy concerns and the interactive nature of the space. We put forward that the living labs evaluation paradigm, i.e., observing users in their natural task environments, has potential to overcome these difficulties and to allow for compar...
متن کاملMixing Realities in Shared Space: An Augmented Reality Interface for Collaborative Computing
In the Shared Space project, we explore, innovate, design and evaluate future computing environments that will radically enhance interaction between human and computers as well as interaction between humans mediated by computers. In particular, we investigate how augmented reality enhanced by physical and spatial 3D user interfaces can be used to develop effective face-toface collaborative comp...
