Awareness systems have attracted significant research interest for their potential to support interpersonal relationships. Investigations of awareness systems for the domestic environment have suggested that such systems can help individuals stay in touch with dear friends or family and provide affective benefits to their users. Our research provides empirical evidence to refine and substantiate such suggestions. We report our experience with designing and evaluating the ASTRA awareness system, for connecting households and mobile family members. We introduce the concept of connectedness and its measurement through the Affective Benefits and Costs of communication questionnaire (ABC-Q). We inform results that testify the benefits of sharing experiences at the moment they happen without interrupting potential receivers. Finally, we document the role that lightweight, picture-based communication can play in the range of communication media available.

One of the shortcomings of existing shared workspaces is their lack of support for mobility. In this paper we will discuss the need for mobile shared workspaces as well as an experimental platform for ubiquitous collaboration and a number of shared workspace implementations for both formal and informal collaboration.

This helps to address some of the traditional challenges of computer supported collaborative work (CSCW), as users are not bound to a desk and a personal computer, and are not forced to stay in a static environment where ad-hoc collaboration is impossible. UbiCollab is a platform for the support of ubiquitous collaboration, and it provides such functionality as context-awareness and automatic device discovery. The vision of UbiCollab is to be both flexible and extendible, so that it can provide ubiquitous collaboration support for many different existing and future domains and settings. A previous study has compiled a set of requirements that needs to be fulfilled in order for a platform to reach this vision. This work re-designs the architecture and the platform components of UbiCollab so that they conform to these requirements. OSGi is chosen as the underlying architecture, supporting the requirements of flexibility and extendibility, and a suitable OSGi framework for the platform is chosen. The platform components and their application programming interfaces (APIs) are designed, and a selected number of these are implemented with full or partial functionality. A testbed of applications and external services is used throughout development to test the flexibility and functionality of the platform and the completeness of the APIs.

People tend to share everything they do, and where they do it. With the simultaneously growth of mobile applications,\napplication developers integrate social networking services into their application to reach a greater audience. It is easy to integrate one network into their application, but when multiple\nnetworks are integrated, the code tends to become more complex. Developers usually choose only one service to keep it simple. This has the disadvantage of making users of different social\nmedias unable to share their geographical location and communicate with each other.\nDuring our work with this master, we have created a middleware that is able to share and manage geographical places across social networks, in order to make it easier for developers to make location-based applications for multiple social services.\nWith this implementation we support core features for sharing geographical places in social networks. However, the system needs to support additional features to be treated as a suitable\nalternative to existing tool.", "thesisType": "Ms.C.

It includes both detailed architecture of the system, the development process, and how the team envisions further development of the system.

There exists a gap in a well-de⬚ned\nplatform that provides back-end data-storage functionality, Such a platform will help\ndevelopers to focus on the front-end; making it easier to develop high-level applications\nquicker and of higher quality.

The people in this group have a\nhigh risk for falling, where one out of three has at least one fall incident\neach year. The fall incidents often leads to injuries and reduced quality of\nlife, and even reduced lifetime expectancy. The falls are not just making\nthe seniors suffer, a publication by the The Norwegian Directorate of\nHealth about fall prevention, stated that around 80% of all accidents\nand injuries among seniors are directly linked to fall, costing the society\nabout three billions Norwegian kroners annually. A preliminary study to\nthis thesis, conducted fall 2014, showed that exercise, more particularly\nstrength and balance exercise, can be a great intervention to prevent\nfalls. Another important finding was that none of the papers, found\nby doing a literature review, did document neither the use of any user\nacceptance tests, or any inclusion of the users in the development process.\nOBJECTIVE: The objective for this Master’s Thesis is to develop concepts\nthat would encourage physical activity, with the use of Information\nand communications technology (ICT), in order to reduce the risk for\nfalling among seniors. RESEARCH METHOD: The report starts out by\nelaborating the problem at hand, and presents several commercialized\nexercise concepts. This is followed by a systematic literature review,\naiming to illuminate the State-of-the-art (SoTA) within seniors, ICT and\ntraining. A workshop with active seniors, consisting of a focus group used\nto investigate their motivations, challenges and general thoughts about\nICT and physical activity, and a co-design session where participants\ncame up with ideas to a concept were conducted. Ideas from participants\nand results from literature review were used to develop concepts by\nmaking mockups. Our developed concepts were then evaluated by two\nexperts through semi-structured interviews. RESULTS: The conducted\nliterature review, about ICT, exercise and seniors, shows that seniors\nare not included in development processes, which also supports one of\nthe findings from the preliminary study. We also found that few of the\npapers did discuss fall as an important part of the interventions. Our\nworkshop with the seniors gave us valuable insight in the seniors everyday\nlife. Our participants were three active seniors, who reported that their\nmain motivation for doing physical activity was simply to get a better\nlife. As we also saw among the commercialized exercise applications\nand literature review, the seniors from the workshop were focusing on\nendurance exercise. We learned that they did conduct some strength\nexercise as well, but none were especially focusing on balance training.\nThe concepts that we developed can be seen as a result itself, but it also\nproved to be an excellent platform for discussing seniors with experts. We\nfound several similarities, but also some differences when we compared\nexperts’ and seniors’ opinions, especially when it comes to how they focus\non fall and what kind of activities the seniors should do to prevent fall.", "thesisType": "Ms.C.
