Consumers and Their Brands: Developing Relationship Theory
- Journal of consumer research
, 1998
"... Although the relationship metaphor dominates contemporary marketing thought and practice, surprisingly little empirical work has been conducted on relational phenomena in the consumer products domain, particularly at the level of the brand. In this article, the author: (1) argues for the validity of ..."

of the relationship proposition in the consumer-brand context, including a debate as to the legiti-macy of the brand as an active relationship partner and empirical support for the phenomenological significance of consumer-brand bonds; (2) provides a framework for characterizing and better understanding the types
Learning Patterns of Activity Using Real-Time Tracking
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 2000
"... Our goal is to develop a visual monitoring system that passively observes moving objects in a site and learns patterns of activity from those observations. For extended sites, the system will require multiple cameras. Thus, key elements of the system are motion tracking, camera coordination, activit ..."

The Context Toolkit: Aiding the Development of Context-Enabled Applications
- University of Karlsruhe
, 1999
"... Context-enabled applications are just emerging and promise richer interaction by taking environmental context into account. However, they are difficult to build due to their distributed nature and the use of unconventional sensors. The concepts of toolkits and widget libraries in graphical user inte ..."

and the application. We illustrate the concept of context widgets with the beginnings of a widget library we have developed for sensing presence, identity and activity of people and things. We assess the success of our approach with two example context-enabled applications we have built and an existing application
Activity recognition from user-annotated acceleration data
, 2004
"... In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of the body. Acceleration data was collected from 20 subjects without researcher supervision or observation. Subjects ..."

Toward Principles for the Design of Ontologies Used for Knowledge Sharing
- IN FORMAL ONTOLOGY IN CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS AND KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION, KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS, IN PRESS. SUBSTANTIAL REVISION OF PAPER PRESENTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON FORMAL ONTOLOGY
, 1993
"... Recent work in Artificial Intelligence is exploring the use of formal ontologies as a way of specifying content-specific agreements for the sharing and reuse of knowledge among software entities. We take an engineering perspective on the development of such ontologies. Formal ontologies are viewed a ..."

as designed artifacts, formulated for specific purposes and evaluated against objective design criteria. We describe the role of ontologies in supporting knowledge sharing activities, and then present a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes. We show how these criteria
Accurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei. Nucleic Acids Res
, 1983
"... We have developed a procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters. Conditions of extraction and assay have been optimized for maximum activity using the major late promoter of adenovirus 2. T ..."

Oceanstore: An architecture for global-scale persistent storage
, 2000
"... OceanStore is a utility infrastructure designed to span the globe and provide continuous access to persistent information. Since this infrastructure is comprised of untrusted servers, data is protected through redundancy and cryptographic techniques. To improve performance, data is allowed to be cac ..."

Portholes: Supporting Awareness in a Distributed Work Group
- In Proceedings of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI’92
"... We are investigating ways in which media space technologies can support distributed work groups through access to information that supports general awareness. Awareness involves knowing who is “around”, what activities are cxcurring, who is talking with whom, it provides a view of one another in the ..."

Collaborative plans for complex group action
, 1996
"... The original formulation of SharedPlans by B. Grosz and C. Sidner ( 1990) was developed to provide a model of collaborative planning in which it was not necessary for one agent to have intentions-to toward an act of a different agent. Unlike other contemporaneous approaches (J.R. Searle, 1990), this ..."
