Supporting group interactions in museum visiting (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Ethnographic study in two contrasting museums highlights a widespread but rarely documented challenge for CSCW design. Visitors' engagement with exhibits often ends prematurely due to the need to keep up with or attend to fellow group members. We unp...

Variability of behaviour in electricity load profile clustering: who does things at the same time each day? (2014)
Conference Proceeding

UK electricity market changes provide opportunities to alter households' electricity usage patterns for the benefit of the overall electricity network. Work on clustering similar households has concentrated on daily load profiles and the variability...

Doing innovation in the wild (2013)
Conference Proceeding

Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring (2013)
Conference Proceeding

This paper explores the measurement, apportionment and representation of widespread energy monitoring. We explicate the accountability to users of the data collected by this type of monitoring when it is presented to them as a single daylong picture....

Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market, particularly with the roll out of smart meters, will provide greatly increased opportunities for initiatives intended to change households' electricity usage patterns for the benefit of the overall system. Users... Read More about Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity.

Home-school technologies: Considering the family (2006)
Conference Proceeding

Research has focused on building technologies to support children in their transitions between home and school without a developed sense of how individual families react to such technologies. We interviewed three different families about their reacti... Read More about Home-school technologies: Considering the family.

Rural Enterprise as an Agent for Technology Development and Facilitation in the Digital Economy
Conference Proceeding

This paper outlines recent developments in the Scaling the Rural Enterprise (SRE) research project – an interdisciplinary project that combines the expertise of social scientists, computer scientists and software developers, in order to inform the de...

An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage
Conference Proceeding

How a household varies their regular usage of electricity is useful information for organisations to allow accurate targeting of behaviour modification initiatives with the aim of improving the overall efficiency of the electricity network. The var... Read More about An approach for assessing clustering of households by electricity usage.

The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in order that supplies can be maintained. Clustering allows usage proles collected at the household level to be clustered into groups and...

Application of a clustering framework to UK domestic electricity data
Conference Proceeding

Abstract—The UK electricity industry will shortly have available a massively increased amount of data from domestic households and this paper is a step towards deriving useful information from non intrusive household level monitoring of electrici...

Creating personalised energy plans: from groups to individuals using Fuzzy C Means Clustering
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market mean that domestic users will be required to modify their usage behaviour in accordance with energy eciency targets. Clustering allows usage data, collected at the household level, to be clustered into groups...
