Within the PhD level course Sensing, Semantics and Learning at LNU we have been working with the Arduino platform to explore the ability to formalise aspects of the real world context gathered from sensors. The main part of the course involved the sensing aspect of the title; semantics was explored to some extent through looking [...]
Finally back at the guest house after hours of sightseeing, shopping and dining in Taipei. Our colleagues here in Taiwan have been treating us extremely well throughout our extended stay, making the wait all but boring. Since our arrival in Taipei two days ago our guides with Andrew in charge have shown us all there [...]
I just wanted to show some photographs from the WMUTE conference shamelessly stolen from a colleague of mine. Enjoy!
No news yet from the airline company KLM concerning our flight home but according to their web page there are some flights scheduled between Hong Kong and Amsterdam starting tomorrow. As me, Bato and Daniel are on KLM’s waiting list we keep our hopes up and try to make the best of the situation. As [...]
Okay so we’re stuck in Taiwan for now because of that stupid volcano on Iceland. We were supposed to travel home yesterday but when we went to the airport the lady in the counter refused to let us travel to Hong Kong. Dragonair had received a fax from KLM with our names on it saying [...]
Alright so I am a bit behind in my blogging as things have been quite hectic here at the WMUTE 2010 conference. Resuming the thread from my last blog post; at one o’clock in the night Didac storms into me and Oskar’s room and enlightens us that it is time for a beer in the [...]
Finally the jet lag is starting to release its grasp from me. When I woke up this morning at 08:30 local time here in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, my body was telling me that the time was 02:30, and rightfully so. I can’t say I was very hungry during breakfast, but I managed to squeeze down a [...]
After several weeks of stressful work and late nights I finally managed to wrap up a first draft of my licentiate thesis with the working title “An approach to promote semantic interoperability of emerging learning object metadata”. Although it feels nice to take a step back and let the text rest for a while I [...]
Back on track again after the holidays during which I have spent most of my time cursing my poor Prolog skills in a course about artificial intelligence. Unfortunately the last assignment in the course was a bit too time consuming for the hectic schedule of a Ph D student, but hopefully it is possible to [...]
Today I decided to set up an instance of the Pinetree system to better demonstrate how it works. We still are thinking about how to implement moderation for CRUD operations in Pinetree, which is why this particular instance of the system is read-only (i.e. it is only possible to perform GET requests). As the API [...]
