In the era of Web of Things and Services, Context-aware Web Services (CASs) are emerging as an important technology for building innovative context-aware applications. CASs enable the information integration from both the physical and…
This paper presents a design of agent-based intelligent HCI (iHCI) system using collaborative information for MR to improve user experience and information security based on context-aware computing. In order to implement target awareness…
The paper describes a flexible and modular platform to create multimodal interactive agents. The platform operates through an event-bus on which signals and interpretations are posted in a sequence in time. Different sensors and…
The amount of digitally available but heterogeneous information about the world is remarkable, and new technologies such as self-driving cars, smart homes, or the internet of things may further increase it. In this paper we present…
It may be difficult for some individuals to open up and share their thoughts and feelings in front of a mental health expert. For those who are more at ease with a virtual agent, conversational agents can serve as an intermediate step in…
Mobile systems are embracing heterogeneous architectures by getting more types of cores and more specialized cores, which allows applications to be faster and more efficient. We aim at exploiting the hardware heterogeneity from the browser…
We propose a real-time context-aware learning system along with the architecture that runs on the mobile devices, provide services to the user and manage the IoT devices. In this system, an application running on mobile devices collected…
Adhering to current HRI paradigms, all of the sensors, visualisation and legibility of actions and motions are borne by the robot or its working cell. This necessarily makes robots more complex or confines them into specialised, structured…
Large language models have opened up a world of possibilities for various NLP tasks, sparking optimism for the future. Despite their potential, LLMs have yet to be widely used as agents on real mobile devices. The main challenge is the need…
Message oriented and robotics middleware play an important role in facilitating robot control, abstracting complex functionality, and unifying communication patterns between sensors and devices. However, using multiple middleware frameworks…
Use of online platforms for education is a vibrant and growing arena, incorporating a variety of software platforms and technologies, including various modalities of extended reality. We present our Enhanced Reality Teaching Concierge, an…
Conversational understanding is an integral part of modern intelligent devices. In a large fraction of the global traffic from customers using smart digital assistants, frictions in dialogues may be attributed to incorrect understanding of…
The Robot Context Protocol (RCP) is a lightweight, middleware-agnostic communication protocol designed to simplify the complexity of robotic systems and enable seamless interaction between robots, users, and autonomous agents. RCP provides…
Context and context-awareness provides computing environments with the ability to usefully adapt the services or information they provide. It is the ability to implicitly sense and automatically derive the user needs that separates…
Mobile access to information is a considerable problem for many users, especially to information found on the Web. In this paper, we explore how a voice-controlled service, accessible by telephone, could support mobile users' needs for…
In the sensing as a service paradigm, Internet of Things (IoT) Middleware platforms allow data consumers to retrieve the data they want without knowing the underlying technical details of IoT resources (i.e. sensors and data processing…
The rapid development of mobile GUI agents has stimulated growing research interest in long-horizon task automation. However, building agents for these tasks faces a critical bottleneck: the reliance on ever-expanding interaction history…
The Android platform was introduced by Google in 2008 as an operating system for mobile devices. Android's SDK provides a wide support for programming and extensive examples and documentation. Reliability is an increasing concern for Smart…
Natural human interactions for Mixed Reality Applications are overwhelmingly multimodal: humans communicate intent and instructions via a combination of visual, aural and gestural cues. However, supporting low-latency and accurate…
Most software applications contain graphics such as charts, diagrams and maps. Currently, these graphics are designed with a ``one size fits all" approach and do not cater to the needs of people with disabilities. Therefore, when using…
