ABSTRACT
Transparent is an office window that varies its opacity in order to help a user maintain focus at work. By changing opacity, the window blocks distractions in the user's environment while subtly signaling the person's availability to others. The user's focus is determined via a neuroheadset that passively measures her brain activity through electroencephalography (EEG); the focus of the user is then algorithmically determined and wirelessly communicated to a smart glass module that changes transparency accordingly. Transparent explores opportunities to merge brain computer interfaces (BCI) with smart architecture to improve productivity at work.

Transparent autonomization in CORBA
Increasingly, software systems are constructed by integrating and composing multiple existing applications. The resulting complexity increases the need for self-management of the system. However, adding autonomic behavior to composite systems is ...
Transparent Self-Optimization in Existing CORBA Applications
ICAC '04: Proceedings of the First International Conference on Autonomic ComputingThis paper addresses the design of adaptive middleware to support autonomic computing in pervasive computing environments. The particular problem we address here is how to support self-optimization to changing network connection capabilities as a mobile ...
