Groupware@LES Collaborators Ugulino

PhD Candidate

Nickname: Ugulino

Wallace Ugulino began his doctorate in August of 2010, in the Department of Informatics of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), and receives a scholarship from CNPq. He earned the master's degree in Informatics in 2010 by the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO), with a dissertation on the improvement of collaboration in business processes. He earned the BS degree in 2006 by Unigranrio, Information Systems area.

The PhD thesis (under development) is about Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on wearable sensors (on-body sensing approach). The paper "Wearable Computing: Accelerometers' Data Classification of Body Postures and Movements" presents the on-body HAR sensing approach of this research and the preliminary results found on the development of a classifier for human activities from accelerometers' data. The next steps on this research are: (1) selecting a research question on the context of HAR (and which theoretical contributions are expected), (2) definition of a specific classification task for the selected research-problem (technological contribution), (3) Experimental design (hypothesis test).
