Historically, the study of human identity perception has focused on faces, but the voice is also central to our expressions and experiences of identity [Belin, P., Fecteau, S., & Bedard, C.

Our voices are highly flexible and dynamic; talkers speak differently, depending on their health, e...

The SPARQL Query Language presents a standardized interface to accessing RDF graphs. Its use allows templated queries to retrieve information from remote sources about known entities. However, such templated queries present a key problem: Queries cannot be made directly about nodes whose identity depends on reasoning. We present an efficient approach to solving this problem using a SPARQL exten...

The primary objective of this session is to highlight ways in which identity can be construed and studied within science education, and to advance a discussion about how science education can embrace its civic responsibility toward students to help them appropriate science as a meaningful tool in their lives beyond school. The four papers reflect a range of perspectives on the construct of iden...

Cost reduction and a vastly increased potential to create new services, such as via the proliferation of the Cloud, have led to many more players and “end points”. With many of them being new entrants, possibly short-lived, the question of how to handle trust and privacy in this new context arises. In this paper, we specifically look at the underlying infrastructure that connects end-points ser...
