T1  - CollaborationBus: An Editor for the Easy Configuration of Complex Ubiquitous Environment
N2  - Early sensor-based infrastructures were often developed by experts with a thorough knowledge of base technology for sensing information, for processing the captured data, and for adapting the system’s behaviour accordingly. In this paper we argue that also end-users should be able to configure Ubiquitous Computing environments. We introduce the CollaborationBus application: a graphical editor that provides abstractions from base technology and thereby allows multifarious users to configure Ubiquitous Computing environments. By composing pipelines users can easily specify the information flows from selected sensors via optional filters for processing the sensor data to actuators changing the system behaviour according to the users’ wishes. Users can compose pipelines for both home and work environments. An integrated sharing mechanism allows them to share their own compositions, and to reuse and build upon others’ compositions. Real-time visualisations help them understand how the information flows through their pipelines. In this paper we present the concept, implementation, and early user feedback of the CollaborationBus application.

T1  - CollaborationBus Aqua: An Editor for Storytelling in Mixed Reality Settings
N2  - Capturing the interaction of users in a room based on real-world and electronic sensors provides valuable input for their interactive stories. However, in such complex scenarios there is a gap between the huge amount of rather fine-grained data that is captured and the story summarising and representing the most significant aspects of the interaction. In this paper we present the CollaborationBus Aqua editor that provides an easy to use graphical editor for capturing, authoring, and sharing stories based on mixed-reality scenarios.
