  • The broken dream of pervasive sentient ambient calm invisible ubiquitous computing 

    Aylett, Matthew P.; Quigley, Aaron John (ACM, 2015-04-18) - Conference item
    We 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 

    Hinrichs, Uta; Schmidt, Holly; Isenberg, Tobias; Hancock, Mark S.; Carpendale, Sheelagh (University of Calgary, 2008-02) - Working or discussion paper
    We 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 

    Thai, Long Thanh; Varghese, Blesson; Barker, Adam David (IEEE Computer Society, 2015-06-27) - Conference item
    Optimising 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? 

    Boobier, Samuel; Osbourn, Anne; Mitchell, John B. O. (2017-12-13) - Journal article
    In 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 

    Anderson, Richard A; Mitchell, Rod T; Kelsey, Thomas W; Spears, Norah; Telfer, Evelyn E; Wallace, W Hamish B (2015-07) - Journal article
    Preservation 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 

    Perera, Galhenage Indika Udaya Shantha; Miller, Alan Henry David; Allison, Colin (2016-11-23) - Journal article
    Immersive 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 

    Grubert, Jens; Kranz, Matthais; Quigley, Aaron John (2016-08-26) - Journal article
    BACKGROUND 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, ...
