This paper demonstrates our ongoing experience on a documenter system for medical grand rounds. The system captures and synchronizes the set of material presented and corresponding physicians' interactions, automatically relates clinical cases of patients, ...

Research efforts in pervasive healthcare have mainly focused on software infrastructures for capture and access, multimodal interaction and manipulation of context information. In this paper we discuss the importance and the use of mechanisms for the ...

Ubiquitous computing aims at providing services to users in everyday environments such as the home. One research theme in this area is that of building capture and access applications which support information to be ...

Ethnography is a research method to understand how people carry out their tasks in real-world experiences. Medical grand rounds are quotidian, formal meeting experiences where physicians discuss clinical problems of patients. This paper presents an ethnographic ...

We propose the use of clustering to support the automatic definition of semantic hyperlinks. We present a linking service that relates documents pertaining to a specific cluster created by a clustering process. The results of preliminary experiments ...

In order to tackle the complex and time-consuming task of building context-aware applications, the literature has reported the development of service infrastructures for context management. This paper presents the service infrastructure for semantic ...

Everyday users browse the Web seeking relevant subsets of information. Without knowing, users access irrelevant or old content available as hyperlinks. The Rich Site Summary (RSS) is an XML-based format that allows the syndication of lists of hyperlinks, ...

A relevant issue on linking services based on information retrieval techniques is how to define scopes that delimit homogeneous information so as to obtain good results. An interesting way to achieve this is to provide such scope delimitation by means ...

Interacting with services that create links automatically via Web users are able to identify relationships among documents stored in different repositories. The fact that automatic linking services do not use queries performed by a human user has impact ...

In the area of ubiquitous computing, "capture and access" has been defined as "the task of preserving a record of some live experience that is then reviewed at some point in future". Capture and access applications have been built in domains such as ...
