  • SUDS, LID, BMPs, WSUD and more : The evolution and application of terminology surrounding urban drainage
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Urban Water Journal. - 1573-062X. ; 12:7, s. 525-542
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The management of urban stormwater has become increasingly complex over recent decades. Consequently, terminology describing the principles and practices of urban drainage has become increasingly diverse, increasing the potential for confusion and miscommunication. This paper documents the history, scope, application and underlying principles of terms used in urban drainage and provides recommendations for clear communication of these principles. Terminology evolves locally and thus has an important role in establishing awareness and credibility of new approaches and contains nuanced understandings of the principles that are applied locally to address specific problems. Despite the understandable desire to have a 'uniform set of terminology', such a concept is flawed, ignoring the fact that terms reflect locally shared understanding. The local development of terminology thus has an important role in advancing the profession, but authors should facilitate communication between disciplines and between regions of the world, by being explicit and accurate in their application. © 2014 © The work of Tim D.

  • HomeRuleML : a model for the exchange of decision support rules within smart environments
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2007. - Piscataway, NJ : IEEE Communications Society. - 1424411548 - 9781424411542 ; , s. 513-520
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The demands for smart environments, which can help to facilitate as well as monitor independent living are increasing. With this comes a desire for decision support rules to process data recorded from such environments. However, testing and evaluating rules can be both time-consuming and indeed stressful for the inhabitants. Within this paper we propose a model, referred to as HomeRuleML, for representing decision support rules for smart environments. The motivating factor behind such a proposal is to provide a widely and freely accessible set of rules which can be openly used and exchanged within the research domain and beyond. This model has the potential to decrease the time required for deployment, and inevitability improve the inhabitants' quality of life. In the paper we explain in detail the structure of adopting this approach and also provide an indication of the typical types of software tools required for its use.

  • Localisation of forgotten items using RFID technology
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: 2009 9th International Conference on Information Technology and Applications in Biomedicine. - Piscataway, NJ : IEEE Communications Society. - 9781424453788 ; , s. 310-313
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The frequency with which items are misplaced increases with age, leading to increased frustration and anxiety especially for those who develop cognitive impairments such as dementia. Providing ICT support to assist with relocating items can significantly contribute to sustain independent living. In this paper we present a method for locating RFID tagged items throughout a home environment. Specifically, items are located by comparing and analysing signal strength, received from tagged items, with that received from anumber of fixed location reference tags. This paper presents experiments which have been performed within a typical living environment using homogeneous and practical placement of reference tags. This is performed to consider the feasibility of RFID positioning in such environments. Results obtained indicate that the approach provides acceptable location estimation in pervasive environments with sparsely placed reference tags, however, further investigation is required to accurately quantify its value

  • Evaluation of mobile and home based cognitive prosthetics
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Smart Homes and Health Telematics. - Berlin : Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag. - 9783540699149 ; , s. 18-25
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Those suffering from mild dementia exhibit impairments of memory, thought and reasoning. It has been recognised that the deployment of technological solutions to address such impairments may have a major positive impact on quality of life. In the current paper we present results from the CogKnow Project following the evaluation of a suite of mobile and home based cognitive prosthetics to assist persons suffering from mild dementia. The results following an evaluation of the technology conducted with 16 people with mild dementia (and their carers) across 3 different trial sites are outlined. The paper concludes with details describing the process by which the outcomes of the evaluation will be used to guide the developments of a second generation of both mobile and home based cognitive prosthetic.

  • Home-based assistive technologies for persons with mild dementia
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Pervasive Computing for Quality of Life Enhancement. - Berlin : Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag. - 9783540730347 ; , s. 63-69
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Those suffering from mild dementia exhibit impairments of memory, thought and reasoning. It has been recognised that deployment of technological solutions to address such impairments may have a major positive impact on the quality of life and can be used to help perform daily life activities hence maintaining a level of independence. In this paper we present an overview of our current investigations into how technology can be used to improve the quality of life of the ageing person with mild dementia. Specifically, we detail the methodology adopted for our work, outline results attained from a series of workshops to identify user needs and finally present how these user needs have been mapped onto the design of home based assistive technologies.

  • HomeCI - a visual editor for healthcare professionals in the design of home based care
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: 2007 annual international conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. - : IEEE Communications Society. - 9781424407873 ; , s. 2787-2790
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The demands of introducing more practical means of managing and monitoring technology within the home environment to support independent living are increasing. Within this paper we present a prototype solution referred to as HomeCI which allows healthcare professionals to establish the conditions within which technology in the home should operate. The HomeCI concept is based on the use of visual notation and has been designed for use by persons with a non technical background. Within the paper we present the design of the first version of the HomeCI visual editor and present the results of a usability study conducted on 4 healthcare professionals.

  • homeML - an open standard for the exchange of data within smart environments
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Pervasive Computing for Quality of Life Enhancement. - Berlin : Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag. - 9783540730347 ; , s. 121-129
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This work describes a potential solution to the problems caused by the heterogeneous nature of the data which may be collected within smart home environments. Such information may be generated at an intra- or interinstitutional level following laboratory testing or based on in-situ evaluations. We offer a solution to this problem in the form of a system/application/format independent means of storing such data. This approach will inevitably support the exchange of data within the research community and form the basis of the establishment of an openly accessible data repository. Within this abstract we present the outline design of homeML, an XML based schema for representation of information within smart homes and through exemplars demonstrate the potential of such an approach. An example of the typical type of software browser required for the data representation is also presented.

  • Remote healthcare monitoring and assessment
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Basic Engineering for Medics and BiologistsUndertitel. - Amsterdam : IOS Press. - 9781607505266 ; , s. 172-184
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Remote healthcare monitoring is the process of assessing the well-being of a patient when the patient and their healthcare professional are not located together. Advances in technology, specifically medical devices, sensors and high speed fixed and wireless communication networks have made it possible to bring the assessment process to the patient, as opposed to limiting the assessment to the constraints of hospitals and doctors' surgeries. It is also possible for patients to benefit from expert consultants anywhere in the world and receive their advice, without a face-to-face meeting. We discuss these issues in the context of home based medication management and propose a technical solution using emerging technologies. This uses a base station acting as a reservoir of medication and a means to connect the patient to an Internet based care model. The following details of the system are presented; an Internet portal in the form of a web based interface to support the prescribing of medication; an interface for the pharmacist to support the filling of medication containers; a caregiver's interface that provides a means to assess the patient's adherence to their medication regimen.
