ABSTRACT
Nearly every setting is increasingly populated with wireless and mobile devices -- whether appliances in a home, medical devices in a health clinic, sensors in an industrial setting, or devices in an office or school. There are three fundamental operations when bringing a new device into any of these settings: (1) to configure the device to join the wireless local-area network, (2) to partner the device with other nearby devices so they can work together, and (3) to configure the device so it connects to the relevant individual or organizational account in the cloud. The challenge is to accomplish all three goals simply, securely, and consistent with user intent. We developed Wanda -- a `magic wand' that accomplishes all three of the above goals -- and will demonstrate a prototype implementation.

Secure asynchronous communication for mobile devices
WUP '09: Proceedings of the Warm Up Workshop for ACM/IEEE ICSE 2010Mobile devices are now used not only for communication but also as working units. As more sensitive information is stored on and transmitted through these devices, security is becoming a growing concern. This is especially true for SMS messages which do ...
Basic Study on Personal Space while Using Mobile Devices in Public
Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Human Interface and the Management of Information. Information and Knowledge in Applications and Services - Volume 8522In recent years, smart mobile devices have come to be widely used in our life spaces. This development has the potential to create major changes in the ways people communicate in public spaces. This paper presents two studies on a user's personal space ...
Smart phone use by non-mobile business users
MobileHCI '11: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesThe rapid increase in smart phone capabilities has introduced new opportunities for mobile information access and computing. However, smart phone use may still be constrained by both device affordances and work environments. To understand how current ...
