2014 has been another incredible year for Ubiquitous Computing, as body worn, mobile, sensor rich technologies pervade every aspect of our daily lives and the augment the infrastructures and environments we inhabit, and instigates changes in our societies. Such technologies both enable new practices and behaviours, but also challenge us to consider the role and impact of such technologies are having on our lives, and even to question our very rights and entitlements. This year's program reflects the full gamut of these endeavours, from fundamental techniques in sensing, activity recognition, and security on mobiles, to focused interventions in healthcare and for specialist applications. We are particularly delighted to welcome our keynote, Gaetano Borriello, who's work on Open Data Kit is leading to new Applications of Mobile Devices in the Developing World, inspiring us to think how we might transform lives using ubiquitous technologies within our own work.
SatScore: uncovering and avoiding a principled pitfall in responsiveness measurements of app launches
Important for user experience on mobile devices, app launch responsiveness has received many recent attentions. This paper reveals a principled pitfall in previous studies. Most of these studies have used average reduction of response delays as the ...
BatteryExtender: an adaptive user-guided tool for power management of mobile devices
The battery life of mobile devices is one of their most important resources. Much of the literature focuses on accurately profiling the power consumption of device components or enabling application developers to develop energy-efficient applications ...
Powerlet: an active battery interface for smartphones
A smartphone battery interface should provide energy-related information efficiently with high accuracy because it is the basis for user actions on battery consumption. Previous studies have mainly focused on battery information per se, but the ...
Mobile video ad caching on smartphones
It is clear today that mobile video is a major traffic source and that online advertising is a steadily growing business. These trends are leading towards mobile video advertising becoming ubiquitous. We make two contributions towards better ...
