abstract = {Today's proliferation of smart systems, devices, and things causes some severe side effects. The use cases of "smart" anything, although numerous, are often made very complex due to the abundance of devices required to enable those use cases. This causes a variety of human-machine interfaces (HMIs), which are by no means standardized, making the public adoption of consumer technology much harder than we might anticipate. Smart phones, tablets, and TVs introduce little commonality in user interfaces (UIs) regarding their openness and the variety of applications available. Our vehicles are offering us disconnected, proprietary infotainment systems and awkward input devices, including numerous buttons and touch, jog shuttle, and steering wheel controls. Smart gadgets and homes are among the most complicated both to install and use, as they still require considerable do-it-yourself (DIY) skills or the help of a trained professional. Furthermore, various new wearables now require users to attach electronics to their person-as if the stress of locating the smartphone before leaving the house is not enough on its own. Learning how to use all of these devices, making use of them, and weaving them into everyday life can be so cumbersome that we may stop adopting new solutions altogether. This has already started to happen. Let me attempt to qualify some reasons for the caveat. These come from two trouble-causing dilemmas. The first is integration versus differentiation (Figure 1).},

abstract = {A potpourri of modern day technologies, which assume connectivity and ubiquitous access, accelerate the pace of our everyday lives. Although useful at the first glance, the galore of choices keep users entangled and hard on new technology adoption. This is particularly true with the adoption of recent devices and applications, including, for example, smart watches, internet of things and home automation technologies. It may be a daunting task for the consumer electronics industry to devise a specific, targeted and clear use cases which would promote the technology. In this talk we would give an outline of current challenges in this regard, via the examples of current products and R&D endeavors within the RT-RK research institute. },

abstract = {Since the emerge of Android as a fully capable TV operating system, the remaining questions address issues of its applicability to the ecosystems of major telecom operators, especially those providing TV services to subscribers. The abundance of services are provided to consumers, including Live IPTV broadcast, over-the-top TV, video on demand, media portals and applications. In this ecosystem, it is essential for the providers of end to end systems which include Android, to address challenges such as user experience streamlining vs differentiation, Android Open Source Project applicability versus the use of Google Market Suite (GMS), as well as challenges of provisioning QoS and QoE upon these platforms. This paper discusses these challenges and gives pointers for the most rewarding integration of Android into the operators' ecosystems.},
