Home-Oriented Informatics and Telematics
Home-Oriented Informatics and Telematics is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the field of home informatics. The home is a key aspect of society and the widespread use of computers and other information appliances is transforming the way in which we live, work and communicate in the information age. This area of study has seen remarkable growth in the last few years as information technology has encroached into every corner of home and social spheres. The papers selected here cover a growing range of topics, including assistive technology; smart homes; home technology; memory aids; home activity; appliance design; design methodology; time, space and virtual presence; social and ethical aspects; and home activities. This state-of-the-art volume presents the proceedings of the Home-Oriented Informatics and Telematics conference held in York, U.K, April 13-15, 2005. This collection will be important not only for home informatics experts and researchers, but also for teachers, administrators, and anyone else seeking to keep up to date in this rapidly emerging field.

Perspectives and Policies on ICT in Society
"Motion-free super-resolution explores new technology for image super-resolution - applying cues other than the motion cue in super-resolving a scene. This book will serve as an essential reference for both academecians and practicing engineers in the area of image processing and computer vision, as well as providing a basis for ongoing research in this field."--Jacket.
The Co-workplace
Thanks to telecommunications breakthroughs, almost half of all jobs in North America and Europe could be performed away from a traditional office. This title explores a new type of neighbourhood-based facility offering the benefits of remote work while maintaining boundaries between work and home.
NetWORKing
This book offers a multi-disciplinary examination of many of the implications of computer based networks for organizations, and for the people who work in and manage them. It addresses the technical challenges involved - and the new approaches and concepts needed to tackle them - as well as the consequences for work, organization and social practices. This publication emphasizes the implications for workers, rather than management; critical rather than celebratory studies; and a reflection of a broad range of disciplines. publication specifically explores the themes of: participation and power; reading over distances; privacy versus transparency; information policy and the changes that networking can bring to organizations and how to manage them. understand our social / technical worlds. computer networking should find the book of particular interest. However, it should also provide stimulating reading for a variety of social scientists, especially sociologists and political scientists.
Urbanes Alltagsleben
An Flexibilisierungstendenzen im Alltag zeigt sich derzeit das stadtpolitische Paradox, Differenzen als urbane Qualitäten anzuführen und tatsächlich Homogenisierungen zu erzeugen: Zeiten des Alltags sind immer weniger standardisiert und die Orte alltäglicher Tätigkeiten scheinen häufiger individuell bestimmbar. In städtischen Quartieren ist Flexibilisierung eine zentrale Ursache für Konflikte, die sich insbesondere mit dem stadtpolitischen Ziel verschärfen, Alltagsformen Kreativer im urbanen Raum zu unterstützen. Anne Vogelpohl konzeptionalisiert den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhang zwischen Alltag und Stadtquartieren entlang der Begriffe Henri Lefebvres ‚Raum‘, ‚Alltagsleben‘ und ‚Rhythmen‘und evaluiert sie entlang seines Verständnisses von Urbanisierung.
Erving Goffman
While Erving Goffman’s books are among the most widely read sociological works, covering issues including the presentation of the self, total institutions, interaction order to frame analysis, they are in fact guided by a single theme: the analysis of the form of interaction in social situations and the role that individuals play in it. This book stresses Goffman’s central role as a sociological theorist, exploring the potentials of his work and uncovering the recondite layers of his oeuvre. In opening a path to understanding the complexity of his writings, it offers new directions for social theory and empirical research.
