  13. Problem Definition • User request frame and candidate frame ri: User i’s requested frame c: Candidate frame

  14. Problem Definition • User i’s satisfaction si(c, ri) • Total satisfaction • Find the optimal frame

  15. Memoryless Frame Selection Vs. Temporal Frame Selection • Memoryless Frame Selection (n users) • Temporal Frame Selection (time t)

  16. Experiments - Memoryless Frame Selection Vs. Temporal Frame Selection • Memoryless Frame Selection t

  17. Experiments - Memoryless Frame Selection Vs. Temporal Frame Selection • Temporal Frame Selection t

  18. Experiments – Online Testing • Sep. 2002 – Jun. 2003 (Alpha Lab, UC Berkeley) • Data collected between Sep. 2002 and Feb. 2003 • 4822 Requested frames

  19. Experiments – Online Testing • Jun. 2003 – • Evans Hall, UC Berkeley • Renamed as “co-opticon” • 4+ Months • 600+ registered users • 26,000+ requested frames • Not a single crash!
