Proactive contextual information retrieval by Samuel Kaski

A talk on “Proactive contextual information retrieval” by Samuel Kaski of Aalto University and University of Helsinki, Finland. Abstract: In proactive information retrieval the ultimate goal is to seamlessly access relevant multimodal information in a context-sensitive way. Usually explicit queries are not available or are insufficient, and the alternative is to try to infer users’ … Proactive contextual information retrieval by Samuel Kaski

Biological Data: Analysis, Visualisation and Prediction by Geoff Barton – Professor of Bioinformatics, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee

Abstract: Modern biological research hinges on technologies that are able to generate very large and complex datasets. For example, recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have led to global collections in the multi-petabyte range that are doubling every five months. These data require organising in a form that allows interpretation by a very large and … Biological Data: Analysis, Visualisation and Prediction by Geoff Barton – Professor of Bioinformatics, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee

Multimodal mobile interaction – making the most of our users’ capabilities by Stephen Brewster, University of Glasgow

Title: Multimodal mobile interaction – making the most of our users’ capabilities Mobile user interfaces are commonly based on techniques developed for desktop computers in the 1970s, often including buttons, sliders, windows and progress bars. These can be hard to use on the move which then limits the way we use our devices and the … Multimodal mobile interaction – making the most of our users’ capabilities by Stephen Brewster, University of Glasgow

Evolution of Radio Access Networks: Lighting up IQ by Francisco J. Garcia, Agilent Technologies

In this talk we will introduce how new mobile base station architectures are evolving not only to meet demand but also to become “greener” since at current rates of deployment, mobile networks are becoming very large CO2 contributors. These new base station architectures are also becoming enablers for new Radio Access Networks (RANs) where the … Evolution of Radio Access Networks: Lighting up IQ by Francisco J. Garcia, Agilent Technologies

A Decade of Research on Constraint Modelling and Reformulation:The Quest for Abstraction and Automation by Alan M Frisch

Abstract: To mark the Tenth International Workshop on Constraint Modelling and Reformulation, this talk reviews research in the field over the past decade, focusing on the key themes of abstraction and automation. Looking to the future, the talk identifies key issues that must be confronted in furthering the quest for abstraction and automation.
