Cooperative Computing: Exploiting Physical Proximity in
, 2011
"... In this paper we introduce Cooperative Computing. Cooperative Computing exploits the physical proximity of nodes in distributed systems. It enables nearby nodes to cooperate with each other in a controlled manner when a node gets temporarily overloaded. We envision Cooperative Computing to be applic ..."

GPS-Less Low Cost Outdoor Localization for Very Small Devices.
- IEEE Personal Communications Magazine,
, 2000
"... Abstract-Instrumenting the physical world through large networks of wireless sensor nodes, particularly for applications like environmental monitoring of water and soil, requires that these nodes be very small, light, untethered and unobtrusive. The problem of localization, i.e., determining where ..."

“Putting the Baby Down”: The Role of Physical Proximity in Mother-Infant Vocal Communication
"... A new theory by anthropologist Dean Falk suggests that infant-directed speech (IDS) evolved in humans ’ hominin ancestors as a communication technique whereby foraging mothers could vocally keep in touch with infants out of their physical control. Crying is proposed also to have evolved at this time ..."

To investigate the current potential effects of physical proximity and separation on mothers ’ IDS and infants ’ crying, a study comprised of a questionnaire on caregiving practices and an observation session
The effect of physical proximity on investments in corporate social responsibility initiatives: An exploratory analysis
"... Abstract Purpose: This paper investigates the effect of proximity on an individual's willingness to invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Design/methodology/approach: Students enrolled in an undergraduate management accounting course participated in an experiment. Partic ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
. Participants were presented with three CSR initiatives and asked how much they would invest in each. The initiatives differed in terms of the ethical responsibility of, and economic benefit for, the organisation. In a 1x4 experimental design participants received one of four manipulations of physical proximity
PriPref Broadcaster: Enabling Users to Broadcast Privacy Preferences in Their Physical Proximity
"... While privacy is often treated as an information centric is-sue, privacy issues in ubiquitous and mobile computing also encompass physical or territorial aspects, i.e., the right to be left alone or undisturbed. Disturbances that affect pri-vacy often stem from persons nearby and their mobile de-vic ..."

We propose PriPref Broadcaster, a smartphone-based approach for communicating personal privacy prefer-ences to persons in physical proximity. Our approach fur-ther supports automatic adaptation of mobile device settings based
Physical Proximity May Promote Lateral Acquisition of Bacterial Symbionts in Vesicomyid Clams
, 2012
"... Vesicomyid clams harbor intracellular sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that are predominantly maternally inherited and co-speciate with their hosts. Genome recombination and the occurrence of non-parental strains were recently demonstrated in symbionts. However, mechanisms favoring such events remain to be ..."

species were found; whereas one single symbiont strain was detected in C. regab specimens from a site where no L. chuni individuals had been observed. These results suggest that physical proximity favored the acquisition of non-parental symbiont strains in Vesicomyidae. Over evolutionary time, this could
E-SmallTalker: A Distributed Mobile System for Social Networking in Physical Proximity

Towards A General System for Secure Device Pairing by Demonstration of Physical Proximity
"... Abstract. Co-location of devices is a useful basis for access control policies for ad-hoc connections, as physical security, visibility and social norms provide reassurances to the device owners and participants. There are various possible techniques for demonstrating co-location through physical in ..."

A Framework for Secure Device Pairing by Demonstration of Physical Proximity

Ad-hoc interactions between devices over wireless networks present a security problem: the generation of shared secrets to initialize secure communication over a medium that is inherently vulnerable to various attacks. However, these scenarios can also build on physical security of spaces by using p ..."
