this paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. the purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. we have employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualit...

We present CAREY, an alert system notification for regions in state of emergency. CAREY implements the mediator-wrapper architecture on top of the Geospatial Web to visualize risky regions in terms of their weather conditions. We illustrate the formalization of the problem of detecting risky regions as a two-fold problem that relies on annotations of sensor data with the ontology of Observation...

Collecting and analyzing data lies at the basis of the scientific method: findings about nature usher new ideas, and experimental results support or refute theories. All this is not very prevalent in computer science, possibly due to the fact that computer systems are man made, and not perceived as a natural phenomenon. But computer systems and their interactions with their users are actually c...
