Apart from the obvious usage for industry applications in human-robot interaction, acquiring the emotional state of a person automatically also is of great potential for the health domain, especially in psychology and psychiatry. Here, evaluation of human emotion is often done using oral feedback or questionnaires during doctor-patient sessions. However, this can be perceived as intrusive by the patient. Furthermore, the evaluation can only be done in a non-continuous manner, e.g. once a week during therapy sessions. In contrast, using automatic emotion detection, the affect state of a person can be evaluated in a continuous non-intrusive manner, for example to detect early on-sets of depression. An additional benefit of automatic emotion recognition is the objectivity of such an approach, which is not influenced by the perception of the patient and the doctor. To reach the goal of objectivity, it is important, that the source of the emotion is not easily manipulable, e.g. as in the speech modality. To circumvent this caveat, novel approaches in emotion detection research the potential of using physiological measures, such as galvanic skin sensors or pulse meters. In this paper we outline a way of detecting emotion from brain waves, i.e., EEG data. While EEG allows for a continuous, real-time automatic emotion recognition, it furthermore has the charm of measuring the affect close to the point of emergence: the brain. Using EEG data for emotion detection is nevertheless a challenging task: Which features, EEG channel locations and frequency bands are best suited for is an issue of ongoing research. In this paper we evaluate the use of state of the art feature extraction, feature selection and classification algorithms for EEG emotion classification using data from the de facto standard dataset, DEAP. Moreover, we present results that help choose methods to enhance classification performance while simultaneously reducing computational complexity.}, url = {/fileadmin/papers/2016/2016-ackermann-healthcom-emorec.pdf}, web_url2 = {http://ieeehealthcom2016.com/}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {IEEE}, booktitle = {2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)}, event_place = {Munich, Germany}, event_name = {2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom)}, event_date = {September 14-17, 2016}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-5090-3370-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Ackermann, Pascal and Kohlschein, Christian and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus and Jeschke, Sabina} } @Article { 2015-cheng-piap-jmu, title = {Psychologist in a Pocket: Lexicon Development and Content Validation of a Mobile-Based App for Depression Screening}, journal = {JMIR Mhealth Uhealth}, year = {2016}, month = {7}, day = {20}, volume = {4}, number = {3}, pages = {e88}, tags = {piap}, web_url = {http://mhealth.jmir.org/2016/3/e88/}, web_url2 = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27439444}, misc2 = {Online}, language = {en}, ISSN = {2291-5222}, DOI = {10.2196/mhealth.5284}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Cheng, Paula Glenda Ferrer and Ramos, Roann Munoz and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Jonas, Stephan Michael and Ix, Tim and See, Portia Lynn Quetulio and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2016-ramos-inpact-lexicon, title = {How Do I Say ''Sad?''

Especially in office environments many devices (e.g., printers) are very rarely turned off, because they need to be available from time to time and because it is inconvenient having to switch them on and off manually. Existing solutions, such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL), provide support for managing the power consumption of the network devices remotely using an always-on data channel. However, these solutions are inefficient, because power to the network interface has to be maintained even when the host system is asleep just to ensure remote accessibility. We propose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based out-of-band signaling architecture for network interfaces which minimizes the systems’ power consumption during the large idle periods when nobody is using them. This is done by separating the data and control channels on the Internet-enabled devices using a low-power out-of-band signaling channel based on battery driven, energy scavenging devices. Unlike existing solutions, which only allow parts of the system to go in sleep modes, our architecture allows the whole system, including the main power supply, to be shut down. Our initial investigation indicates a significant reduction in energy consumption of devices during idle times compared to the existing in-band signaling mechanisms such as WoL.}, keywords = {Energy Saving, Wireless Sensor Network, Out-of-Band Signalling}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-vaegs-fgsn-ecocom.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch Drahtlose Sensornetze (FGSN), Paderborn, Germany}, institution = {RWTH Aachen University}, event_place = {Paderborn, Germany}, event_name = {10th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch Drahtlose Sensornetze (FGSN11)}, event_date = {September 15-16, 2011}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Vaegs, Tobias and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2011-ipsn-alizai-pad, title = {Probabilistic Addressing: Stable Addresses in Unstable Wireless Networks}, year = {2011}, month = {4}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-ipsn-alizai-pad.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2011), Chicago, IL, USA}, event_place = {Chicago, IL, USA}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-60558-988-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Vaegs, Tobias and Landsiedel, Olaf and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Poster { 2011-03-vomLehn-NSDI-PrivacyOnWeb, title = {Work in Progress: Uncovering the Privacy Implications of Web Usage [Poster]}, year = {2011}, month = {3}, note = {poster and abstract}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-03-vomLehn-NSDI-PrivacyOnWeb.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, booktitle = {8th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '11), Boston, MA, USA}, organization = {Usenix}, event_place = {Boston, MA, USA}, event_name = {NSDI}, event_date = {March 30 – April 1, 2011}, state = {accepted}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {vom Lehn, Hendrik and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2010-sensys-alizai-tinywifi, title = {Poster Abstract: TinyOS Meets Wireless Mesh Networks}, year = {2010}, month = {11}, pages = {429-430}, abstract = {We present TinyWifi, a nesC code base extending TinyOS to support Linux powered network nodes.

In this paper we present KleeNet - a Klee based platform independent bug hunting tool for sensor network applications before deployment - which can automatically test applications for all possible inputs, and hence, ensures memory safety for TinyOS based applications. Upon finding a bug, KleeNet generates a concrete test case with real input values identifying a specific error path in a program. Additionally, we show that KleeNet integrates well into TinyOS application development life cycle with minimum manual effort, making it easy for developers to test their applications.}, tags = {kleenet}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-09-Sasnauskas-FGSN08-BugHunting.pdf}, web_url = {ftp://ftp.inf.fu-berlin.de/pub/reports/tr-b-08-12.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {Freie Universit{\"a}t Berlin, Institute of Computer Science}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th GI/ITG Fachgespraech Wireless Sensor Networks, Berlin, Germany}, institution = {Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems (ComSys)}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Sasnauskas, Raimondas and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 200808OsechasEMBC08RatPack, title = {Ratpack: Wearable Sensor Networks for Animal Observation}, year = {2008}, month = {8}, day = {20}, pages = {538--541}, abstract = {The goal of our project is to describe the behavior of rats.
