Geo-localization system for people with cognitive disabilities
Ramos, João Ricardo Martins; Ricardo, Anacleto; Novais, Paulo; Figueiredo, Lino; Almeida, Ana; Neves, JoséTechnology is present in almost every simple aspect of the people’s daily life. As an instance, let us refer to the smartphone. This device is usually equipped with a GPS module which may be used as an orientation system, if it carries the right functionalities. The problem is that these applications may be complex to operate and may not be within the bounds of everybody. Therefore, the main goal here is to dev...
Ambient sensorization for the furtherance of sustainability
Silva, Fábio; Analide, Cesar; Rosa, Luís; Felgueiras, Gilberto; Pimenta, CedricEnergy efficiency is regarded as an important objective in a world of limited resources. The sustainable use of energy is necessary for the continuity of life styles that do not jeopardize the future. Nevertheless, due to poor information about the impact of human actions on the environment, it is hard to promote and warn for sustainability. This work focuses on the use of ambient intelligence as a mean to cons...
Ubiquitous sensorization for multimodal assessment of driving patterns
Silva, Fábio; Analide, Cesar; Gonçalves, Celestino; Sarmento, JoãoSustainability issues and sustainable behaviours are becoming concerns of increasing signi cance in our society. In the case of transportation systems, it would be important to know the impact of a given driving behaviour over sustainability factors. This paper describes a system that integrates ubiquitous mobile sensors available on devices such as smartphones, intelligent wristbands and smartwatches, in order...
Webifying the computerized execution of Clinical Practice Guidelines
Oliveira, Tiago José Martins; Leão, Pedro; Novais, Paulo; Neves, JoséThe means through which Clinical Practice Guidelines are dissemi-nated and become accessible are a crucial factor in their later adoption by health care professionals. Making these guidelines available in Clinical Decision Sup-port Systems renders their application more personal and thus acceptable at the moment of care. Web technologies may play an important role in increasing the reach and dissemination of gu...
Studying the effects of stress on negotiation behaviour
Gomes, Marco; Oliveira, Tiago José Martins; Carneiro, Davide Rua; Novais, Paulo; Neves, José"Special issue : Computational approaches for conflict resolution in decision making : new advances and developments"; Negotiation is a collaborative activity that requires the participation of different parties whose behaviors influence the outcome of the whole process. The work presented here focuses on the identification of such behaviors and their impact on the negotiation process. The premise for this stud...
Person localization using sensor information fusion
Anacleto, Ricardo; Figueiredo, Lino; Almeida, Ana; Novais, PauloNowadays the incredible grow of mobile devices market led to the need for location-aware applications. However, sometimes person location is di cult to obtain, since most of these devices only have a GPS (Global Positioning System) chip to retrieve location. In order to sup- press this limitation and to provide location everywhere (even where a structured environment doesn't exist) a wearable inertial navigatio...
Mobile application to provide personalized sightseeing tours
Anacleto, Ricardo; Figueiredo, Lino; Almeida, Ana; Novais, PauloTourist recommendation systems have been growing over the last few years, mainly because of the use of mobile devices to obtain user context. This work discusses some of the most relevant systems on the field and presents PSiS Mobile, which is a mobile recommendation and planning application designed to support a tourist during his vacations. It provides recommendations about points of interest to visit based o...
An ontology for human-machine computation workflow specification
Luz, Nuno; Pereira, Carlos; Silva, Nuno; Novais, Paulo; Teixeira, António; Silva, Miguel Oliveira eLately, a focus has been given to the re-usability of workflow defini-tions and to flexible and re-usable workflow components, culminating with ap-proaches that harness the benefits of the enriched semantics provided by ontol-ogies. Following this trend and the needs of multiple application domains, such as micro-task crowdsourcing and ambient assisted living, of incorporating co-operation between the efforts o...
Defining human-machine micro-task workflows for constitution making
Luz, Nuno Miguel Almeida; Poblet, Marta; Silva, Nuno Alexandre Pinto; Novais, PauloThis paper presents a novel task-oriented approach to crowdsource the drafting of a constitution. By considering micro-tasking as a particular form of crowdsourcing, it defines a workflow-based approach based on Onto2Flow, an ontology that models the basic concepts and roles to represent workflow-definitions. The approach is then applied to a prototype platform for constitution-making where human workers are re...
Step count and classification using sensor information fusion
Anacleto, Ricardo; Figueiredo, Lino; Almeida, Ana; Novais, Paulo; Meireles, AntónioIn order to suppress the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) limitation to track persons in indoor or in dense environments, a pedestrian inertial navigation system can be used. However, this type of systems have huge location estimation errors due to the Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) characteristics and the use of low-cost inertial sensors. To suppress some of these errors we propose a system that uses...
