Towards an Active Predictive Relation by Reconceptualizing a Vacuum Robot: Research on the Transparency and Acceptance of the Predictive Behaviors

With the development of Artificial intelligence, the connected objects are extended with the predictive capabilities and the character of things can change to “things that predict”. If a connected device is able to embrace a predictive system that not only profiles for scripted behavior but could also use the knowledge co-created by all the...

Can ISPs help mitigate IoT malware? A longitudinal study of broadband ISP security efforts

For the mitigation of compromised Internet of Things (IoT) devices we rely on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and their users. Given that devices are in the hands of their subscribers, what can ISPs realistically do? This study examines the effects of ISP countermeasures on infections caused by variants of the notorious Mirai family of IoT...

Machine learning systems in the IoT: Trustworthiness trade-offs for edge intelligence

Machine learning systems (MLSys) are emerging in the Internet of Things (IoT) to provision edge intelligence, which is paving our way towards the vision of ubiquitous intelligence. However, despite the maturity of machine learning systems and the IoT, we are facing severe challenges when integrating MLSys and IoT in practical context. For...

Generating Value from Government Data Using AI: An Exploratory Study

Open government data initiatives have gained popularity around the world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to make better use of data. Combining the OGD and AI is crucial to generate more value from data. In this paper we investigate what kind of value was generated through AI and how. A context-input-process-output/outcome ...

Development of An Adaptive Staircase System Actuated by Facial-, Object-, and Voice-Recognition

This paper details a proof-of-concept development of an adaptive staircase system-type capable of user-specific mechanical reconfigurations actuated by facial-, object-, and voice-recognition. The system is described via two variation-prototypes - developed at Technology Readiness Level 4 - as instances of the same system-type. Accordingly,...

Development of a Light-Tracking and-Redirecting System Actuated by Hand-Gesture Recognition

This paper presents a context-Aware light-Tracking and-redirecting system guided by hand-gesture recognition. It is conceived as yet another mechanism within an ongoing development of a more intuitive and technically sophisticated Ambient Intelligence / Active and Assisted Living ecosystem. The detailed system consists of individual nodes...

Development of an acoustically adaptive modular system for near real-time clarity-enhancement

This paper details the development of an acoustically adaptive modular system capable of enhancing Speech Clarity (C₅₀ Clarity Index) in specific locations within a space in near real-time. The mechanical component of the system consists of quadrilateral, truncated pyramidal modules that extend or retract perpendicularly to their...

Using a Dynamic Sensor Network to Obtain Spatiotemporal Data in an Urban Environment

Along with the rise of the smart city movement, Internet of Things is an upcoming phenomenon. Objects and devices are becoming more and more wirelessly interconnected, communicating information between themselves and to human beings. As an addition to static sensor networks that gather real-time environmental data, the feasibility of...

Designing digital tooling for business model exploration for the Internet-of-Things

As digital technologies are transforming enterprises, the interest in business models is increasing. Technological disruptions like the Internet of Things (IoT) drive enterprises to redefine their business models to create and capture value, and eventually, to stay competitive. The need for business model innovation may be urgent, yet it is not...

Tooling for internet-of-things business model exploration: A design science research approach

Attention to business models (BM) is increasing as digital technologies are transforming enterprises in many industries. Technological disruptions such as the Internet of Things (IoT) force enterprises to rethink their BM to create and capture value. Even though the need for business model innovation (BMI) may be clear, how to change a BM is not...

Integration of a wearable interface in a design-to-robotic-production and -operation development

This paper presents the integration of an Internet of Things wearable device as a personal interfacing node in an intelligent built-environment framework, which is informed by Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation principles developed at Delft University of Technology. The device enables the user to act as an active node in the built...

The Internet of Things for the Open Sharing Economy

In this paper we raise the question of how to enable groups of individuals to collaboratively design, implement and maintain IoT-enabled sharing economy services. We argue that there is a need for HCI research to engage with the whole lifecycle of sharing services, from inception and design to operation and use. In particular, we motivate the...

Sense.me: A EUD environment for social products

This paper describes a framework that supports the physical prototyping of innovative interactive artifacts. Specifically, the framework allows designing, implementing, and testing “social products,” that is, physical artifacts able to interact with social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and others. Since the target users of...
