Perceived Quality of Services in Heterogeneous Networks (POSH)

The POSH project was an R&D project starting at the end of 2004 at the Center for Teleinfrastruktur at CTIF Aalborg University in which AAU Esbjerg participates through the Wireless Computing and Security (WCS) group in the Software Intelligence and Security Research Center. The WCS group forms one of the ten research groups at CTIF. The main objective of this project is to create a usability test environment for mobile services in heterogeneous network environments. One objective in this project was to develop a spoken query answering system for mobile devices. WCS's task in this is to develop a knowledge-based context dependent query answering system that interprets the user's intention from the possibly uncertain recognition by the speech recognizer module, and retrieve, and present the answer to the user. The SIS-RC WCS team in the project comprises 3 researchers (2 professors and one Ph.d. student), 1 research assistant and 3 M .Sc. students. The outcome of the project was demonstrated on the First International Wireless Summit 2005, Aalborg , 17 - 22 December 2005. IWS05
