A behaviour awareness mechanism to support collaborative learning
(Springer, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAwareness has been identified as a key element that affects the quality of collaboration. Several studies indicate that awareness mechanisms to support collaborative learning activities should include factors and stimuli ... -
A communication infrastructure to ease the development of mobile collaborative applications
(2011)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMobile workers doing loosely coupled activities typically perform on demand collaboration in the physical workplace. Communication services available in such work scenarios are uncertain, therefore mobile collaborative ... -
A real-world implementation and parametrization of mobile ad-hoc networks
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2008-10-16)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe concept of ad-hoc networking merges from the need of new applications for wireless computing technologies; which require temporary, dynamic and self-organized network topologies. Ad-hoc networks are a collection of ... -
A technological overview of the guifi.net community network
(2015-12-24)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a technological analysis of guifi.net, a free, neutral, and open-access community network. Guifi.net consists of more than 27,000 operational nodes, which makes it the world’s largest community network ... -
An approach to pervasive monitoring in dynamic learning contexts : data sensing, communication support and awareness provision
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-02-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIt is within the capabilities of current technology to support the emerging learning paradigms. These paradigms suggest that today’s learning activities and environments are pervas ive and require a higher level of dynamism ... -
Building Real-World Ad-Hoc Networks to Support Mobile Collaborative Applications: Lessons Learned
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2009-09)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMobile collaboration is required in several work scenarios, i.e. education, healthcare, business and disaster relief. The features and capabilities of the communication infrastructure used by mobile collaborative ... -
CoSP: a collaborative sensing platform for mobile applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policySmartphones are powerful sensing devices that can help us capture not only information from the environment, but also the users' activities. Based on that information, mobile systems can identify the user's behavioural ... -
Follow-up and feedback processes in the EHEA
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Institut de Ciències de l'Educació, 2011-03)
Article
Open AccessIn the present paper, we describe the work being carried out by a group of professors so as to implement the follow-up and feedback processes of the activities students do throughout the first academic years in their ... -
Group Prediction in Collaborative Learning
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessWe propose an approach for predicting group formations, to address the problem of automating the incorporation of group awareness into CSCL applications. Contextual information can enable the construction of applications ... -
HLMP API: A software library to support the development of mobile collaborative applications
(2010-05-24)
Conference report
Open AccessMobile collaborative applications are usually deployed in work scenarios where the existence of fixed communication infrastructure is hard to predict. For that reason, these applications use Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) ... -
Mobile Autonomous Sensing Unit (MASU): a framework that supports distributed pervasive data sensing
(2016-07)
Article
Open AccessPervasive data sensing is a major issue that transverses various research areas and application domains. It allows identifying people’s behaviour and patterns without overwhelming the monitored persons. Although there are ... -
OIoT: a platform to manage opportunistic IoT communities
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessOpportunistic Internet of Things (IoT) extends the concept of opportunistic networking combining human users carrying mobile devices and smart things. It explores the relationships between humans and the opportunistic ... -
OLSRp: predicting control information to achieve scalability in OLSR ad hoc networks
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessScalability is a key design challenge that routing protocols for ad hoc networks must properly address to maintain the network performance when the number of nodes increases. We focus on this issue by reducing the amount ... -
Providing behaviour awareness in collaborative project courses
(2016-10-01)
Article
Open AccessSeveral studies show that awareness mechanisms can contribute to enhance the collaboration process among students and the learning experiences during collaborative project courses. However, it is not clear what awareness ... -
Proyecto ICARUS. Sistema de comunicación GPRS.
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2006-01)
Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessEl presente proyecto desarrolla el sistema de comunicación de un UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). Los UAVs son aviones no tripulados con aplicaciones tanto en el ámbito militar como civil. El objetivo que pretendemos ... -
Situated micro-displays for activity-aware systems
(Springer, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMost activity-aware systems designed to support mobile workers in dynamic environments, such as hospitals or industrial plants, typically consider the use of mobile devices and large displays. However, we envision potential ... -
Supporting context-aware collaborative learning through automatic group formation
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessCollaborative learning is based on groups of students working together with traditional and computer-based tools or applications. We have found that to make these supporting applications more effective we need to address ... -
The RIMO gateway selection approach for mesh networks: Towards a global Internet access for all
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018)
Conference report
Open AccessCommunity wireless mesh networks have emerged as cooperative initiatives to provide Internet Access in areas where traditional ISP costs are not affordable for the population. It is common in wireless mesh networks sharing ... -
