Searching databases without query-building aids: implications for dyslexic users
(Information research;20(4), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-04)Introduction. Few studies document the information searching behaviour of users with cognitive impairments. This paper therefore addresses the effect of dyslexia on information searching in a database with no tolerance for ... -
A Simple Content-based Strategy for Estimating the Geographical Location of a Webcam
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science = Lecture notes in artificial intelligence;6297, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)This study proposes a strategy for determining the approximate geographical location of a webcam based on a sequence of images taken at regular intervals. For a time-stamped image sequence spanning 24 hours the approximate ... -
Simplified cloud-oriented virtual machine management with MLN
(Journal of Supercomputing;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-03-25)System administrators are faced with the challenge of making their existing systems power-efficient and scalable. Although Cloud Computing is offered as a solution to this challenge by many, we argue that having multiple ... -
Speech Driven by Artificial Larynx: Potential Advancement Using Synthetic Pitch Contours
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-18)Despite a long history of development, the speech qualities achieved with artificial larynx devices are limited. This paper explores recent advances in prosodic speech processing and technology and assesses their potentials ... -
Teaching Computer Science to Students with Asperger’s Syndrome
(Norsk Informatikkonferanse;2010, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2010)As more young people enter higher education, there will be an increasing number of students with physical and mental disabilities. Hidden disabilities like dyslexia, Attention Deficit (Hyperactive) Disorders, (ADD and ... -
Teaching Universal Design : How and Why
(The proceedings of Unitech : International Conference on Universal Technologies;2010, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2010)Universal design is a product design philosophy that strives to give freedom to all; the freedom of mobility, the freedom to work, to enjoy entertainment, and to use ones’ physical and mental abilities without encountering ... -
Towards Accessible Self-service Kiosks through Intelligent User Interfaces
(Personal and Ubiquitous Computing;14 (8), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-02-26)Public self-service kiosks provide key services such as ticket sales, airport check-in and general information. Such kiosks must be universally designed to be used by society at large, irrespective of the individual ... -
Towards calibration-free geo-localization of stationary outdoor webcams
(Norsk Informatikkonferanse; 2010, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2010)This study proposes two strategies for determining the approximate geographical location of outdoor webcams based on time-series comprising regularly sampled images. The strategies require an accurate account of universal ... -
Twenty five years of training and education in ICT Design for All and Assistive Technology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-07-20)Over the last twenty to twenty-five years ‘Design for All’ principles and practices including Assistive Technologies have been collected into formal and informal courses which have been used to train designers of Information ... -
Unsupervised and Fast Continent Classification of Digital Image Collections using Time
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2010-08)Advances in storage capacity means that digital cameras can store huge collections of digital photographs. Typically such images are given non-descriptive filenames names such as a unique identifier, often an integer. ... -
User Identification based on Touch Dynamics
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2012-09)Touch interaction has quickly become the de-facto means of interacting with handheld devices due to its perceived attractiveness and low hardware cost. This study proposes a strategy for identifying users based on touch ... -
User Interface Design for Public Kiosks : an Evaluation of the Taiwan High Speed Rail Ticket Vending Machine
(Journal of information science and engineering;26 (1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Low hardware costs and high staffing costs have resulted in an increase in public information and transaction kiosks.
