Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design (POAD) is the practice of building complex software by applying proven designs to specific problem domains. Although a great deal of research and practice has been devoted to formalizing existing design…
Loving-kindness meditation (LKM) is used in clinical psychology for couples' relationship therapy, but physical isolation can make the relationship more strained and inaccessible to LKM. Virtual reality (VR) can provide immersive LKM…
This chapter reviews empirical evidence bearing on the design of online forums for deliberative civic engagement. Dimensions of design are defined for different aspects of the deliberation: its purpose, the target population, the…
Strength training carries inherent safety risks when exercises are performed without supervision. While haptics research has advanced, there remains a gap in how to integrate on-body feedback into intelligent wearables. Developing such a…
This paper presents the design and development of proof-of-concept Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication testbed. This testbed also seeks to address the design issues involved in the implementation of a D2D network in a realistic scenario.…
Blind identification is popular for modeling a system without the input information, such as in the research areas of structural health monitoring and audio signal processing. Existing blind identification methods have both advantages and…
In this paper the research draws upon reminiscence therapy, which is used in treating dementia, as an applied theory to promote well being in people who experience low moods. The application proposed here aims to promote wellbeing for…
Organizations started to adopt differential privacy (DP) techniques hoping to persuade more users to share personal data with them. However, many users do not understand DP techniques, thus may not be willing to share. Previous research…
Gadgets helping the disabled, especially blind that are in least accessibility of information, use acoustic methods that can cause stress to ear and infringe user's privacy. Even if some project uses embedded Radio Frequency Identification…
We propose a new LMI approach to the design of optimal switching sequences for polynomial dynamical systems with state constraints. We formulate the switching design problem as an optimal control problem which is then relaxed to a linear…
This paper aims to present the current position of the ongoing research into developing the requirements and acceptance of a virtual therapeutic community in Second Life, specifically for people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).…
Location Privacy-Preserving Mechanisms (LPPMs) in the literature largely consider that users' data available for training wholly characterizes their mobility patterns. Thus, they hardwire this information in their designs and evaluate their…
The goal of offline model-based optimization (MBO) is to propose new designs that maximize a reward function given only an offline dataset. However, an important desiderata is to also propose a diverse set of final candidates that capture…
Despite Domain-Driven Design's proven value in managing complex business logic, a fundamental semantic expressiveness gap persists between generic modeling languages and tactical DDD patterns, causing continuous divergence between design…
The paper, based on authors' experience from several distributed systems integration projects, summarizes briefly practical designer's view on methodological requirements and overall system organization, including clues as to the…
A core principle of Privacy by Design (PbD) is minimizing the data that is stored or shared about each individual respondent. PbD principles are mandated by the GDPR (see Article 5c and Article 25), as well as informing aspects of…
Emerging technologies and business models require organisations to continuously deal with complex, dynamic and unstructured issues, leading to the need for newer forms of decision support systems (DSS). However, in emerging environments the…
Achieving safe and robust autonomy is the key bottleneck on the path towards broader adoption of autonomous vehicles technology. This motivates going beyond extrinsic metrics such as miles between disengagement, and calls for approaches…
This paper introduces a novel approach to concurrently design dynamic controllers and correlated differential privacy noise in dynamic control systems. An increase in privacy noise increases the system's privacy but adversely affects the…
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology for holistically measuring the environmental impact of a product from initial manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. However, the extent to which LCA informs the design of computing devices…
