Mobility is the Message: Experiments with Mobile Media Sharing
This thesis explores new mobile media sharing applications by building, deploying, and studying their use. While we share media in many different ways both on the web and on mobile phones, there are few ways of sharing media with people physically near us. Studied were three designed and built systems: Push!Music, Columbus, and Portrait Catalog, as well as a fourth commercially available system â Foursquare. This thesis offers four contributions: First, it explores the design space of co-present media sharing of four test systems. Second, through user studies of these systems it reports on how these come to be used. Third, it explores new ways of conducting trials as the technical mobile landscape has changed. Last, we look at how the technical solutions demonstrate different lines of thinking from how similar solutions might look today.
Through a Human-Computer Interaction methodology of design, build, and study, we look at systems through the eyes of embodied interaction and examine how the systems come to be in use. Using Goffmanâs understanding of social order, we see how these mobile media sharing systems allow people to actively present themselves through these media. In turn, using McLuhanâs way of understanding media, we reflect on how these new systems enable a new type of medium distinct from the web centric media, and how this relates directly to mobility.
While media sharing is something that takes place everywhere in western society, it is still tied to the way media is shared through computers. Although often mobile, they do not consider the mobile settings. The systems in this thesis treat mobility as an opportunity for design. It is still left to see how this mobile media sharing will come to present itself in peopleâs everyday life, and when it does, how we will come to understand it and how it will transform society as a medium distinct from those before. This thesis gives a glimpse at what this future will look like

Aquisição e Interrogação de Conhecimento de PrĂĄtica ClĂnica usando Linguagem Natural
The scientific concepts, methodologies and tools in the Knowledge Representation (KR) sub-
domain of applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) came a long way with enormous strides in recent
years. The usage of domain conceptualizations that are Ontologies is now powerful enough to aim
at computable reasoning over complex realities.
One of the most challenging scientific and technical human endeavors is the daily Clinical Prac-
tice (CP) of Cardiovascular (CV) specialty healthcare providers.
Such a complex domain can benefit largely from the possibility of clinical reasoning aids that are now
at the edge of being available.
We research into a complete end-to-end solid ontological infrastructure for CP knowledge represen-
tation as well as the associated processes to automatically acquire knowledge from clinical texts and
reason over it
Clinical practice knowledge acquisition and interrogation using natural language: aquisição e interrogação de conhecimento de prĂĄtica clĂnica usando linguagem natural
Os conceitos cientĂficos, metodologias e ferramentas no sub-dominio da Representação de Conhecimento da ĂĄrea da InteligĂȘncia Artificial Aplicada tĂȘm sofrido avanços muito significativos nos anos recentes. A utilização de Ontologias como conceptualizaçÔes de domĂnios Ă© agora suficientemente poderosa para aspirar ao raciocĂnio computacional sobre realidades complexas. Uma das tarefas cientĂfica e tecnicamente mais desafiante Ă© prestação de cuidados pelos profissionais de saĂșde na especialidade cardiovascular. Um domĂnio de tal forma complexo pode beneficiar largamente da possibilidade de ajudas ao raciocĂnio clĂnico que estĂŁo neste momento a beira de ficarem disponĂveis. Investigamos no sentido de desenvolver uma infraestrutura sĂłlida e completa para a representação de conhecimento na prĂĄtica clĂnica bem como os processes associados para adquirir o conhecimento a partir de textos clĂnicos e raciocinar automaticamente sobre esse conhecimento; ABSTRACT: The scientific concepts, methodologies and tools in the Knowledge Representation (KR) subdomain of applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) came a long way with enormous strides in recent years.
