In the past decade computing has progressively moved beyond the desktop into new physical and social contexts, evidenced by growing research trends in tangible interfaces; physical computing; ubiquitous computing; and mobile and embedded computing.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAs digital applications move from desktop and office workplace settings, they gain relevance within our everyday lives and spaces: homes, classrooms, public spaces, cultural or historical settings, scientific laboratories and beyond. At the same time, as physical objects and spaces gain new computational behaviors, they become increasingly complex: customizable, reprogrammable, repurposable and interoperable.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERebola, an Assistant Professor of Industrial Design in the College of Architecture, coordinates ROSS with Ali Mazalek and Kenneth Knoespel of the School of Literature, Communications and Culture in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ross.gatech.edu\/contact.php\u0022\u003ERead about current projects and upcoming events at ross.gatech.edu.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Computing, sociocultural contexts and product design come together."}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EComputing, sociocultural contexts and product design come together.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27213","created_gmt":"2008-09-26 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:43","author":"Teri Nagel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2008-09-26T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2008-09-26T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"57861":{"id":"57861","type":"image","title":"Digital applications becoming more relevant.","body":null,"created":"1449176187","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:56:27","changed":"1475894508","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:41:48","alt":"Digital applications becoming more relevant.","file":{"fid":"190693","name":"tnj37611.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tnj37611_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tnj37611_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":15291,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tnj37611_0.jpg?itok=b9RD7ncd"}}},"media_ids":["57861"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"137","name":"Architecture"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"143","name":"Digital Media and Entertainment"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"3128","name":"Industrial Design"},{"id":"5929","name":"information design"},{"id":"9767","name":"mobile computing"},{"id":"9765","name":"physical computing"},{"id":"9768","name":"responsive objects"},{"id":"9764","name":"tangible interfaces"},{"id":"9766","name":"ubiquitous computing"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETeri Nagel\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECollege of Architecture\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=tw117\u0022\u003EContact Teri Nagel\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-385-2156\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["teri.nagel@coa.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
