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.

Motivating mobility: designing for lived motivation in stroke rehabilitation (2011)
Book Chapter

How to motivate and support behaviour change through design is becoming of increasing interest to the CHI community. In this paper, we present our experiences of building systems that motivate people to engage in upper limb rehabilitation exercise af...

Supporting the design of network-spanning applications (2009)
Book Chapter

In this case study, we describe our use of ECT, a tool intended to simplify the design and development of network-spanning applications. We have used ECT throughout the course of a two-year collaboration, which has involved individuals with exper... Read More about Supporting the design of network-spanning applications.

Supporting the creation of hybrid museum experiences (2009)
Journal Article

This paper presents the evolution of a tool to support the rapid prototyping of hybrid museum experiences by domain professionals. The developed tool uses visual markers to associate digital resources with physical artefacts. We present the iterative... Read More about Supporting the creation of hybrid museum experiences.

Trust, privacy and relationships in 'pervasive education': Families' views on homework and technologies (2007)
Book Chapter

Extensive educational research discusses the potential for information and communication technologies in supporting homework, but most has focused on providing content. The research in this paper focuses instead on the issues around managing homework...

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.

Expected, sensed, and desired: A framework for designing sensing-based interaction (2005)
Journal Article

Movements of interfaces can be analyzed in terms of whether they are expected, sensed, and desired. Expected movements are those that users naturally perform; sensed are those that can be measured by a computer; and desired movements are those that a...

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... Read More about The application of a data mining framework to energy usage profiling in domestic residences using UK data.

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...
