Our paper Predicting User Responsiveness to Smartphone Notifications for Edge Computing has won the best paper award at the 14th Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI-2018).

Please feel free to read the paper and download the dataset used in it.

I was invited to give a seminar at the CEID social hour series (University of Patras). The topic was on Notifications for Ambient Intelligence Environments. An abstract of the seminar follows (in English) and you can also download the slides (in Greek)!

Notifications in connected Ambient Intelligence Environments

Playing around with data from DBLP and the network visualisation / analysis softwared called Gephi, I made a map showing the paper authors and collaborations at the well-known ACM MobileHCI conference, spanning the years 2002-2018.

We have released a rich dataset containing 176,195 logged notifications received on the Android devices of 14 users, in the period between 2018-05-07 and 2018-06-05. The dataset accompanies our publication Komninos, A., Frengkou E., & Garofalakis J. (2018). Predicting User Responsiveness to Smartphone Notifications for Edge Computing. 2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI-18). Larnaca, Cyprus, Springer. .

Please free to use for your own research, citing our work if you found the dataset useful.

I was invited as a scientific expert to be on the judges panel for the Patras Citylab (prep event) for the City Challenge Crowdhackathon #smartcity 2 event. A total of 9 ideas were presented by teams and solo applicants, and we selected the best 3 to move forward to the main event with all their expenses covered (Athens, 28 June - 1st July).

Congratulations to all the winners and good luck to every team that decides to move on to the main event!
