To describe the theoretical rationale, intervention design, and clinical trial of a two-year weight control intervention for young adults deployed via social and mobile media.A total of 404 overweight or obese college students from three Southern California universities (M age =22(±4) years; M BMI =29(±2.8); 70% female) were randomized to participate in the intervention or to receive...

While mobile phones have become ubiquitous instruments of communication and social interaction, they still require explicit interaction, placing high demands on attention. Engaging the periphery of users' attention offers opportunities for awareness and interaction while reducing demands on attention and risks of disruption. We explore the mobile peripheral design space with Emotipix, an application...

Web 2.0 is a collection of browser-based Internet technologies that enables anyone with an inexpensive computer and a decent network connection to join what the author calls the Internet Commons - a place where users can create elaborate multimedia expressions of their thoughts, opinions, and feelings, as well as link to and comment on those creations. Mobile 2.0 is being heralded as a successor to...

In this workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience which will prepare them to lecture and perform active learning exercises with the ubiquitous presenter (UP) system. UP (in use by more than 10 faculty at over 6 institutions), is a Web-based system which enables instructors (with a Tablet PC) to incorporate the best of chalk and digital presentations and automatically archives materials...

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages such as AspectJ offer new mechanisms and possibilities for decomposing systems into modules and composing modules into systems. The key mechanism in AspectJ is the advising of crosscutting sets of join points. An aspect module uses a pointcut descriptor (PCD) to declaratively specify sets of points in program executions. Our approach employs crosscut programming...

Explicitly stated program invariants can help programmers by identifying program properties that must be preserved when modifying code. In practice, however, these invariants are usually implicit. An alternative to expecting programmers to fully annotate code with invariants is to automatically infer invariants from the program itself. This research focuses on dynamic techniques for discovering invariants...
