Presentation / Conference Contribution
Park, W., Reves, P., Esteves, A., Kerridge, J. M., Yim, D., & Oh, U. (2021, August). Dot-to-Dot: Pre-Reading Assessment of Literacy Risk via a Visual-Motor Mechanism on Touchscreen Devices. Presented at INTERACT 2021: 18th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, Bari, Italy [Online]

While early identification of children with dyslexia is crucial, it is difficult to assess literacy risks of these children early on before they learn to read. In this study, we expand early work on Dot-to-Dot (DtD), a non-linguistic visual-motor mec...

Process discovery in highly parallel distributed systems. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (2014). Process discovery in highly parallel distributed systems.

In distributed data processing systems it may happen that data arrives for
processing for which the appropriate algorithm is not available on the specific node
