Abstract: | Interaction design is a major issue for mobile information systems in terms of not only the choice of input/output channels
and presentation of information, but also the application of context-awareness. To support experimentation with these factors,
we have developed platforms to support the rapid prototyping of multi-channel, multi-modal, context-aware applications. The
Java-based platform presented here is based on an integration of a cross-media link server and an object-oriented framework
for advanced content publishing, along with a Client Controller and Context Engine. We also describe how this platform was
used to develop a mobile tourist information system for an international arts festival where interaction was based on a combination
of interactive paper and speech output.
Moira C. Norrie is a Professor at ETH Zurich where she is head of the Institute for Information Systems and leads the Global Information
Systems research group. Her research interests include object-oriented models and systems for data management, web engineering,
mobile and personal information systems and interactive paper as a medium for integrating printed and digital information.
Beat Signer is a Post-Doctoral researcher in the Global Information Systems research group at ETH Zurich. He received a Ph.D. from ETH
Zurich in 2005 for his work investigating fundamental concepts for interactive paper and cross-media information management.
His research interests include interactive paper, cross-media information management, object-oriented technologies and software
engineering.
Michael Grossniklaus is a research assistant in the Global Information Systems research group at ETH Zurich. He received a Diploma (M.Sc.) in
Computer Science from ETH Zurich in 2001 and is currently completing his Ph.D. His main research interest is empowering information
systems for context-aware data management and delivery in the domain of web engineering and mobile computing.
Rudi Belotti was a research assistant in the Global Information Systems research group at ETH Zurich from 2004–2006. He received a Diploma
(M.Sc.) in Computer Science from ETH Zurich in 2004. In his research, he developed a general model and engine for the management
of context information in mobile information systems. He is currently working for an e-business services company in Ticino,
Switzerland.
Corsin Decurtins is a research assistant in the Global Information Systems research group at ETH Zurich. He received a Diploma (M.Sc.) in
Computer Science from ETH Zurich in 2002. His research focusses on model-based approaches and infrastructure for ubiquitous
and mobile information environments. In addition to his Ph.D. Corsin also works part-time as a senior software engineer at
the software company Netcetera.
Nadir Weibel is a research assistant in the Global Information Systems research group at ETH Zurich. He received a Diploma (M.Sc.) in
Computer Science from ETH Zurich in 2003 and is currently working on his Ph.D. His research is in the area of interactive
paper, particularly on the authoring and publishing infrastructure for interactive documents as well as issues of human computer
interaction and mobile environments. |
