Bottom-up vs. top-down : trade-offs in efficiency, understanding, freedom and creativity with InfoVis tools
(ACM, 2017-05-02) - Conference itemThe emergence of tools that support fast-and-easy visualization creation by non-experts has made the benefits of InfoVis widely accessible. Key features of these tools include attribute-level operations, automated mappings, ... -
The broken dream of pervasive sentient ambient calm invisible ubiquitous computing
(ACM, 2015-04-18) - Conference itemWe dreamt of technology becoming invisible, for our wants and needs to be primary and the tools we use for making them a reality to become like a genie, a snap of the fingers and ta daa, everything is realised. What went ... -
BubbleType : enabling text entry within a walk-up tabletop installation
(University of Calgary, 2008-02) - Working or discussion paperWe address the issue of enabling text entry for walk-up-and-use interactive tabletop displays located in public spaces. Public tabletop installations are characterized by a diverse target user group, multiperson interaction, ... -
Budget constrained execution of multiple Bag-of-Tasks applications on the Cloud
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-06-27) - Conference itemOptimising the execution of Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications on the cloud is a hard problem due to the trade- offs between performance and monetary cost. The problem can be further complicated when multiple BoT applications ... -
Cancer treatment and gonadal function : experimental and established strategies for fertility preservation in children and young adults
(2015-07) - Journal articlePreservation of gonadal function,is an important priority for the long-term health of cancer survivors of both sexes and all ages at treatment.. The loss of an opportunity for fertility is a prime concern in both male and ... -
A case study in user support for managing OpenSim based multi user learning environments
(2016-11-23) - Journal articleImmersive 3D Multi User Learning Environments (MULE) have shown sufficient success to warrant their consideration as a mainstream educational paradigm. These are based on 3D Multi User Virtual Environment platforms (MUVE), ... -
Challenges in mobile multi-device ecosystems
(2016-08-26) - Journal articleBACKGROUND Coordinated multi-display environments from the desktop, second-screen to gigapixel display walls are increasingly common. Personal and intimate mobile and wearable devices such as head-mounted displays, ... -
Children’s Creativity Lab : creating a ‘pen of the future’
(ACM, 2014-11-11) - Conference itemTechnology is changing the way we acquire new skills and proficiencies and handwriting is no exception to this. However, while some technological advancements exist in this area, the question of how we can digitally enhance ... -
Classifying pedestrian movement behaviour from GPS trajectories using visualization and clustering
(2014) - Journal articleThe quantity and quality of spatial data are increasing rapidly. This is particularly evident in the case of movement data. Devices capable of accurately recording the position of moving entities have become ubiquitous and ... -
Client-side energy costs of video streaming
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-02-01) - Conference itemThrough measurements on our testbed, we show how users of Netflix could make energy savings of up to 34% by adjusting video quality settings. We estimate the impacts of these quality settings on the energy consumption of ... -
Cloud benchmarking for maximising performance of scientific applications
(2016-08-26) - Journal articleHow can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question is challenging to address with the availability of a wide variety of cloud Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance ... -
Cloud benchmarking for performance
(IEEE, 2014-12-15) - Conference itemHow can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question has become significant and challenging with the availability of a wide variety of Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance ... -
Cloud cover : monitoring large-scale clouds with Varanus
(2015-07-14) - Journal articleCloud computing has quickly become the de facto means to deploy large scale systems in a robust and cost effective manner. Central to the maintenance of large scale systems is monitoring which allows for the detection of ... -
Cloud Services Brokerage : a survey and research roadmap
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-06-27) - Conference itemA Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) acts as an intermediary between cloud service providers (e.g., Amazon and Google) and cloud service end users, providing a number of value adding services. CSBs as a research topic are in ... -
Cloud-based e-Infrastructure for scheduling astronomical observations
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-08-31) - Conference itemGravitational microlensing exploits a transient phenomenon where an observed star is brightened due to deflection of its light by the gravity of an intervening foreground star. It is conjectured that this technique can be ... -
Coinductive soundness of corecursive type class resolution
(arXiv, 2016) - Conference itemHorn clauses and first-order resolution are commonly used for the implementation of type classes in Haskell. Recently, several core- cursive extensions to type class resolution have been proposed, with the common goal of ... -
