Hovering information: a self-organising, infrastructure-free information storage and retrieval service for mobile applications

This thesis proposes a new type of information, called hovering information, which is stored in geographical regions and does not rely on any infrastructure but on the mobile devices that populate the respective geographical region, its anchor area. A storage and two retrieval algorithms are proposed. They take advantage of the broadcasting nature of mobile ad hoc networks while...

Online e-Reputation Management Services Survey

Reputation Management is rather a new field in the realm of computer security. This is mainly due to the fact that computers and software are more and more involved in open networks. In these open networks, any encountered user may become part of the user base and associated interactions even if there is no a priori information about those new users. The greater openness of these...

A Survey of Trust and Risk Metrics for a BYOD Mobile Worker World : Third International Conference on Social Eco-Informatics

Users increasingly access corporate data from their own devices and public wireless networks such airports Wi-Fi or coworking offices. On one hand, more work is possible, but on the other hand, it is riskier because the devices and locations may be untrustworthy. However, the Bring-Your-Own-Device trend is a fact and it is the reason we survey in this paper how computational trust...

Video Game Therapy for Emotional Regulation and Impulsivity Control in a Series of Treated Cases with Bulimia Nervosa

Although standard psychological treatments have been successful in treating several core features in eating disorders (ED), other characteristics such as emotional regulation or impulsivity appear to be more resistant to change. There is a growing body of evidence to support the efficacy of cognitive remediation for cognitive and emotional difficulties in ED. Playmancer/ Islands is a...

Quality of Service Information System: Get to Know the Performance of Your Mobile Network Operator Anywhere-Anytime

Quality of Service Information System (QoSIS) focuses on measurement-based performance evaluation of wireless access networks provided by diverse mobile network operators in diverse locations and times. We have developed an Android OS mobile application that uses measurement data provided by real mobile users living in the Geneva area to predict the networks' expected...

Evaluation of challenges in human subject studies "in-the-wild" using subjects' personal smartphones

The experimental setting of Human Mobile Computer Interaction (HCI) studies is moving from the controlled laboratory to the user's daily-life environments, while employing the users' own smartphones. These studies are challenging for both new and expert researchers in human subject studies in the HCI field. Within the last three years, we conducted three different...

Service Level Agreements as a Service - Towards Security Risks Aware SLA Management

Cloud computing has matured to become a valuable on demand alternative to traditional ownership models for the provisioning of services, platforms and infrastructure. However, this raises many issues for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) and in particular in terms of Information Systems Security Risk Management (ISSRM). Considering such issues lack attention and knowledge,...

Towards Cloud Computing SLA Risk Management: Issues and Challenges

Cloud Computing has become mainstream technology offering a commoditized approach to software, platform and infrastructure as a service over the Internet on a global scale. This raises important new security issues beyond traditional perimeter based approaches. This paper attempts to identify these issues and their corresponding challenges, proposing to use risk and Service Level...

Semantic alignment of documents with 3D city models

In urban semantic digital libraries, users need to access heterogeneous types of resources in order to achieve a given task. Contextualisation is known to increase the understanding of documents. With the use of 3D city models, we propose an alignment model that correlates, using the semantic annotations, the different resources of the repository with the different objects contained...

Precise information retrieval in semantic scientific digital libraries : CEUR doctoral symposium proceedings

When scientists or engineers are looking for information in document collections, or on the web, they generally have a precise ob jec- tive in mind. Instead of looking for documents ”about a topic T ”, they rather try to answer specific needs such as finding the definition of a con- cept, finding results for a particular problem, checking whether an idea has already been tested, or...

Inferring scientific knowledge from background fragments

Scientists, when they read, chain document together. They reuse those chains for understanding a problem, for advancing in their research, or for writing. Systems such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Knowledge, use references contained into scientific documents to link those documents together, but they are using only direct citation. More explicitly, document "a" will...

An ontology of 3D visualization techniques for enriched 3D city models

Models, which represent in 3 dimensions the geometric elements of a city, are called 3D city models. Those models are used for an intended wide range of applications beyond mere visualization. Such uses are made possible by enriching the geometrical aspects with urban or environmental data that cannot be perceptible to a user without a visual abstraction. Using such models implies...
