From Skills Development to Skills Use and Articulation: Insights from the Interface Between University and Work. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Caddell, M., Smith, S., & Boyle, F. (2012, March). From Skills Development to Skills Use and Articulation: Insights from the Interface Between University and Work. Paper presented at QAA Enhancement Themes

Much work has been dedicated to how universities define graduate attributes and how they can help their students develop these academic abilities, personal qualities and skills. But how do our students actually use and articulate those skills when th...

Lightweight Software Product Line Based Privacy Protection Scheme for Pervasive Applications (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., Smith, S., & Zhao, H. (2011, July). Lightweight Software Product Line Based Privacy Protection Scheme for Pervasive Applications. Presented at 2011 IEEE 35th Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference Workshops

Protecting user's privacy is one of the main concerns for the deployment of pervasive computing systems in the real world. In pervasive environments, the user context information is naturally distributed among different spatial or logical domains. Ma...

An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments (2011)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2012). An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 16(6), 741-755. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-011-0422-0

In pervasive environments, context management systems are expected to administrate large volume of contextual information that is captured from spatial to nonspatial elements. Research in context-aware computing produced a number of middleware system... Read More about An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments.

Recognize contextual situation in pervasive environments using process mining techniques (2010)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2011). Recognize contextual situation in pervasive environments using process mining techniques. Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 2(1), 53-69. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12652-010-0038-7

Research in pervasive computing and ambience intelligence aims to enable users to interact with the environment in a context-aware way. To achieve this, a complex set of features describing different aspects of the environment has to be captured and...

Mapping Features to Context Information: Supporting Context Variability for Context-Aware Pervasive Applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010, August). Mapping Features to Context Information: Supporting Context Variability for Context-Aware Pervasive Applications. Presented at 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology

Context-aware computing is widely accepted as a promising paradigm to enable seamless computing. Several middlewares and ontology-based models for describing context information have been developed in order to support context-aware applications. Howe...

Apto: A MDD-Based Generic Framework for Context-Aware Deeply Adaptive Service-Based Processes (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010, July). Apto: A MDD-Based Generic Framework for Context-Aware Deeply Adaptive Service-Based Processes. Presented at 2010 IEEE International Conference on Web Services

Context-awareness and adaptability are important and desirable properties of service-based processes designed to provide personalized services. Most of the existing approaches focus on the adaptation at the process instance level [1] which involves e...

CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010). CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications. In CICIS'10 Proceedings (209-216). https://doi.org/10.1109/cisis.2010.21

In a pervasive environment, it is essential for computing applications to be context-aware. However, one of the major challenges is the establishment of a generic and dynamic context model. Many different approaches to modeling the context exist, but... Read More about CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications.

A Perspective on Middleware-Oriented Context-Aware Pervasive Systems (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
