Baseline fusion for image an pattern recognition - what not to do (and how to do better)
(2017-12) - Journal articleThe ever-increasing demand for a reliable inference capable of handling unpredictable challenges of practical application in the real world has made research on information fusion of major importance; indeed, this challenge ... -
Bayesian P-splines and advanced computing in R for a changepoint analysis on spatio-temporal point processes
(2016) - Journal articleThis work presents advanced computational aspects of a new method for changepoint detection on spatio-temporal point process data. We summarize the methodology, based on building a Bayesian hierarchical model for the data ... -
Big and broad social data and the sociological imagination : A collaborative response
(2014-08-05) - Journal articleIn this paper, we reflect on the disciplinary contours of contemporary sociology, and social science more generally, in the age of 'big and broad' social data. Our aim is to suggest how sociology and social sciences may ... -
BigExcel : a web-based framework for exploring big data in Social Sciences
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-01-07) - Conference itemThis paper argues that there are three fundamental challenges that need to be overcome in order to foster the adoption of big data technologies in non-computer science related disciplines: addressing issues of accessibility ... -
The Bohemian Bookshelf : supporting serendipitous book discoveries through information visualization
(ACM, 2012-05-05) - Conference itemSerendipity, a trigger of exciting yet unexpected discoveries, is an important but comparatively neglected factor in information seeking, research, and ideation. We suggest that serendipity can be facilitated through ... -
The Bohemian Bookshelf : supporting serendipitous discoveries through visualization
(University of Calgary, 2011) - Working or discussion paperSerendipity, a trigger of exciting discoveries when we least expect it, is currently being discussed as an often neglected but still important factor in information seeking processes, research, and ideation. In this paper ... -
Bootstrapping opportunistic networks using social roles
(IEEE, 2011-06-23) - Conference itemOpportunistic routing protocols can enable message delivery in disconnected networks of mobile devices. To conserve energy in mobile environments, such routing protocols must minimise unnecessary message-forwarding. This ... -
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 ... -
Can human experts predict solubility better than computers?
(2017-12-13) - Journal articleIn this study, we design and carry out a survey, asking human experts to predict the aqueous solubility of druglike organic compounds. We investigate whether these experts, drawn largely from the pharmaceutical industry ... -
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, ... -
Change blindness in proximity-aware mobile interfaces
(ACM, 2018-04-21) - Conference itemInterface designs on both small and large displays can encourage people to alter their physical distance to the display. Mobile devices support this form of interaction naturally, as the user can move the device closer or ... -
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 ... -
