1 Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has recently emerged, and one of the
areas that are leading up to IoT is Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) [32,52].
The evolution happened due to the association with other areas, such as Cloud
Computing, and the hardware advance, which allowed the improvement of the
sensors, actuators and the creation of smaller devices with a network connection
[1]. In this paradigm, we have several things communicating between themselves.
2 Background
In this section, we bring a brief overview of the ubiquitous computing concepts
highlighting the context-awareness and other characteristics that impact the

quality of user interaction in these systems. We also introduce the main concepts
and elements of IoT to give a general outline to the reader.

2.2 IoT
According to IEEE [32], Internet of Things is a network of objects, which are
embedded devices, connected to the Internet [32]. Considering this, Fuqaha
et al. [1] define IoT to be formed by six elementary building blocks (see Fig. 2):
(i) identification; (ii) sensing; (iii) communication; (iv) computation; (v) services;
and (vi) semantic.
The first element, the identification, allows an object to be accessed over the
Internet by other objects, in a Thing-Thing interaction, or by an application

a result of a graduate course about IoT and they have been used as case studies
for our research in IoT [4].

share files. The application uses the information from the beacons to identify
new things and persons in the room.
Figure 4 presents the screens of these applications.
These two IoT applications were also evaluated using the software measures
for UbiComp applications presented in Sect. 2.1. We present some results of these
two evaluations in Table 3. Details of the GREatRoom evaluation can be found
in [5].
In general, these measures give us a comprehension into not only whether the
app achieves the Human-Thing interaction or not, but also what can be improved
4 Discussion
In this section, based on the applications’ evaluations, the literature, and our
experience, we discuss how we can benefit from the UbiComp move towards
IoT. Also, we detail the main differences between these two kind of applications’
evaluations, highlighting what was not detected by the measures from UbiComp
applied in the case studies in the previous section. We used the following four
open questions to organize our discussion.
The characteristics and measures that come from UbiComp, which are pre-
sented in Sect. 2.1, are also useful to evaluate IoT applications and they give us
a good insight into what can be improved in IoT applications as presented in
Sect. 3. For example, GREatRoom needs to be improved regarding adaptation
degree and adaptation correctness degree. Automa GREat, in turn, needs to
be improved regarding all measures for the Calmness characteristic. Therefore,
these case studies show an example that characteristics and measures for Ubi-
Comp are useful to IoT applications. Nevertheless, the evaluations presented in
Sect. 3 indicate that:
• The same UbiComp evaluation process can be used to IoT applications. In
our work, we used the same process from usability testing with profile ques-
tionnaires, observation, and measures collections;
• The necessary data collection for the measures calculation in IoT applications
requires the same effort as in UbiComp applications. All IoT applications need
to be instrumented like we do in UbiComp applications;
14 R.M.C. Andrade et al.
• The questionnaires used to capture the subjective measures from users are
relevant and suitable in IoT as well; and
• The results from the measures in IoT can be interpreted following the same
analysis procedure as in Ubicomp.
Regarding the case studies presented in the previous section, the collected
measures were not able to identify several problems that the IoT applications
presented. For example, GREatRoom presents problems when multiple mobile
devices enter and exit a room, because it generates an inconsistency in the data
presented in the application’s interface to different users. This is a problem of
things being out of sync with the other things.
The other problem is the lack of conflicts handling. Conflicts occur among
contrasting goals [37]. Despite being a subject already explored in the field of
smart homes and ubiquitous computing, IoT brings greater complexity to this
problem, because IoT environments allow remote control by users, automated
rules programmed by users and context-aware decisions in the same system. For
example, the other application, Automa GREat, has no conflicts handling. If two
users send opposing requests, Automa GREat is not able to handle this conflict.
Another problem regarding conflicts in IoT, not detected by the evaluations,
is when a user may want to turn the lamp on remotely via smartphone, but
the application wants to turn it off because no one is at home. Therefore, the
measures from UbiComp are not able to evaluate if there are conflicts in Human-
Thing and Thing-Thing interactions.
Another issue that was observed during the case study with Automa GREat
was a delay when users turned on the air conditioner, which affects the system’s
responsiveness. Also, the state of things (i.e., air conditioning and lights) were
not being displayed properly in the interface, whenever the user changed the
tab, the application loses the current state about the things.
In short, the main interaction problems that arise from IoT applications
are related to the Thing-Thing interaction, which impact on the Human-Thing
interaction. So, to answer this question taking into account the case studies,
we should consider the following: synchrony, the lack of conflicts handling and
communication delay between things.
Based on the previously questions and literature review, we classify the char-
acteristics that should be evaluated according to two levels: Internet and Thing.

eloped, tore down the hill by special dâk, and were married at
Saharanpore. Where is she now?”
Wynyard made no reply. Captain Ramsay’s wandering memory had
evidently evoked a vision of his dark-eyed and remarkably pretty
mother. She had run away with the handsome Hussar officer, and
had, in consequence, been cast off by her relations.
“Dead?” inquired the other after a pause.
Wynyard nodded.
“Ah, well, we shall all be dead one day—some sooner—and some
later,” and he fell into one of his sudden silences.
“I think he is better!” whispered his wife to Wynyard, as they parted
at the hall door. “Didn’t he seem almost himself this evening? And he
took great notice of Topsy and Darkie, and made their dinner
himself.”
Two days later, as the chauffeur was leaving Mrs. Hogben’s cottage
after his midday meal, preparatory to getting ready the car, Mrs.
Ramsay suddenly appeared at her gate and beckoned to him
frantically. She looked white and frightened.
“Jim went off this morning,” she began, “and hasn’t been home
since. He never did this before. Oh, I ought to have taken your
advice,” and she wrung her hands. “I’ve been searching for him
since eight o’clock.”
“Did he speak to any one before he left the house?” inquired
Wynyard.
“No. Fanny saw him going out in a terrible hurry; he had on a pair of
white gloves, and said he would be late for parade.”
“Poor fellow!”
“And the stupid girl never said one word to me till she brought me my
hot water at eight o’clock.”
“I’m just off with the car, taking Miss Susan to a croquet tournament,
or I’d go and have a look round. What about the policeman?”
“The policeman! Why, he cannot walk! He weighs sixteen stone.”
“Well, anyway, if you don’t mind, I’ll send Tom Hogben and Jones;
they know the country, and will keep a shut mouth. I’ll just tell them
now,” and he hurried away.
Although Miss Susan had no money wherewith to buy diamonds,
sables, and motor cars, she contrived to extract a great deal of
pleasure out of her elderly spinster life. She enjoyed mild little tea-
parties, followed by bridge at sixpence a hundred—and received her
partner’s scoldings with disarming humility. Her one passion was
croquet. “Miss S. Parrett” was a notable player—her name appeared
in print in connection with local tournaments; her arm was steady,
her aim was deadly, and, not only this, she played the game with her
head as well as with her hands.
On the present occasion Miss Susan had lured her reluctant niece to
a meeting at Upstreet—a village about ten miles from Ottinge; in
fact, she made such a point of Aurea’s company, of Aurea’s support
—whether in success or failure—that the girl felt compelled to go—
and, at any rate, she took a sincere pride in Susan’s modest
triumphs. The tournament was prolonged till seven o’clock; Miss
Susan was detained, being in the Finals. Dusk was closing on the
world when the two ladies, with two prizes (salad bowl and a silver
cigarette-case), took their departure. The prize-winner, in exuberant
spirits, uttering effusive expressions of enjoyment and thanks, had
talked herself into the car, and there were so many after-thoughts
and messages that even the chauffeur became impatient with his
dear Miss Susan; he was desperately anxious to get home and hear
the result of the search for Captain Ramsay.
It was an unusually close evening—there was thunder in the air—
and the interior of the motor was stuffy even with the windows down
on both sides—and how they rattled! The old machine trundled along
at its best speed, as if inspired by the fear of Miss Parrett awaiting its
arrival, watch in hand. Its driver had another and more well-grounded
dread in his mind.
The ladies within discussed the recent party, the play, the prizes, and
the guests.
“The Wendovers were there; did you see them?” said Miss Susan
—“Mrs. Wendover and Gertrude. I thought they both looked very ill.”
“Yes, and I believe it was from hunger, Susan,” was her niece’s
surprising reply. “I never saw such a tea as they had—surreptitiously.
It’s shameful to watch, I know, but I was not playing, and happened
to be sitting near, and could not help myself. I felt so frightfully sorry
for them—I was inclined to cry!”
“My dear girl, surely you are not in earnest?”
“I only wish I wasn’t. Gertrude had a whole plate of sandwiches,
besides cakes; she took them quietly, when no one was looking, and
devoured them ravenously, and her mother pocketed several buns
and lumps of sugar.”
“But why? I don’t understand.”
“Because probably they have nothing to eat at home! Mrs. Lucas,
the parson’s wife, told me in confidence that they are almost
penniless; the little money they had has been lost in some bank that
tempted people with high interest and then went smash. The
Wendovers cling to the old cottage—it’s their own—but they have no
servant; they do their own washing and, very early in the morning,
their own doorstep! Everything is spick and span still. After dark they
steal out and collect firewood and apples, and even field turnips, and
yet they hold up their heads and ‘pretend.’ I heard Mrs. Wade
pressing them to have cake and tea—and they declined.”
“Have they no friends or relations?”
“I don’t know. Mrs. Lucas said she did not like to ask for their
confidence. She always has them to supper on Sundays, and sends
them eggs; but she is poor enough herself with eight children. She
thinks the Wendovers will break down now that the winter is coming,
and yet they won’t allow any one to guess that they are destitute.”
“Dear, dear, dear, how shocking! What is to be done, Aurea?”
“I’ve just had my allowance, and I’ll post them a five-pound note to-
morrow anonymously, and I’ll get something later on from dad.”
“Yes, yes, yes, and I must see what I can do too. Poverty is cruel—a
terrible thing—what a trial of one’s character!”
“It is indeed, and so are riches sometimes. They seem to change
people’s dispositions—if they come in for a fortune.”
“That’s true; but I do hope, dear child, you are not thinking of your
poor Aunt Bella?”
“Aunt Bella was much nicer when she lived in the Red Cottage,
dined at one o’clock, and put a penny in the plate.”
“Oh, now, Aurea, I can’t let you say that; she is very proud of you,
and a dear, kind sister to me. Why, only last week she gave me a
lovely lace parasol, and when she writes to me it is always ‘My own
darling Susan.’”
Aurea was silent. She was thinking of darling Susan’s many
deprivations, humiliations, and hardships.
“We all have our foibles, have we not, Aurea, my child?”
“Oh, I know that, Susan, and I——”
Whatever Aurea was going to add was cut short by her aunt’s
piercing scream. From some thick bushes on the left bank, a tall
figure had shot out; there was a lightning rush, a shout from the
chauffeur, who jammed on the brake, then a violent swerve, an
upheaval, and a sickening, crunching sensation.
A man had deliberately flung himself in front of the car, which had
gone over him, then stopped abruptly, shuddering throughout its
rickety frame.
The driver sprang off and dragged from beneath the wheels a limp
and motionless body. Yes, his vague fears had been justified.
“It’s Captain Ramsay!” he called to Aurea, who had already hurled
herself into the road. “I’m afraid he is done for. Stay where you are.”
As he spoke, he raised a limp and bleeding figure in his arms, which
he carried to the hedgerow; next, he took off his coat and laid him
upon it, and ran and lit a motor lamp. All his actions were surprisingly
prompt and vigorous.
“Now, will you come over here, miss?” he called to Susan
authoritatively, but she was almost beside him. In a crisis, simple,
talkative Susan was another person, and could rise to the occasion.
“And you, Miss Morven, try and find some water—we passed a
stream just now; bring it in anything—your hat or—yes, the salad
bowl! I’m afraid it’s a bad business,” he continued, “and his head is
all cut—and his wrist—it’s an artery. Miss Susan, fetch a stick
quickly, quickly, and I’ll make a tourniquet.”
The chauffeur seemed to have taken complete command of the
situation; he ordered the ladies hither and thither, he bandaged up
Captain Ramsay’s head with Aurea’s white scarf—which he tore into
strips—whilst Aurea stood by, eager to help, but trembling like an
aspen. She had never heard a man moan, or witnessed such a
scene.
“I think I’ve fixed him up just for the moment,” said Owen, rising, “and
now I’ll fetch the doctor. You two ladies won’t mind stopping, will
you?”
“Certainly not! What do you think we are made of?” rejoined Miss
Susan. “Here,”—now sinking down—“place his head in my lap, and
just go as hard as ever you can!”
“He is in a very bad way, I’m afraid, and I really don’t like leaving
you, but there’s no help for it.” Then, after sticking a flaring lamp on
the ground beside them, he climbed into his place and sped away.
In less than half an hour he had returned, accompanied by Dr. Boas;
they found the poor sufferer still alive and moaning, his head
supported by Miss Susan, and his lips bathed by her niece.
“I half expected this,” said the doctor, as he knelt beside Captain
Ramsay. “Internal injuries,” he announced, after a rapid examination,
“and fatal.”
“The stretcher and the parish nurse will be here presently,” said
Owen; and, hearing a familiar voice, Captain Ramsay slowly opened
his eyes and asked—
“Oh, it’s cold. Where am I? Where’s Katie?”
As he recognised Owen bending over him, he murmured—
“Wynyard, Wynyard—hold on—I’m coming!”
“You see he is off his head,” said Miss Susan, “poor fellow; he did
not know what he was doing.”
Then, as the chauffeur relieved her of the dying man’s weight, he
regained consciousness, and, again opening his eyes, he whispered
“Wynyard!” and passed away in the arms of Wynyard’s son.
