Energy efficient wireless sensor network communications based on computational intelligent data fusion for environmental monitoring [Article]
(IET: The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2012)
The study presents a novel computational intelligence algorithm designed to optimise energy consumption in an environmental monitoring process: specifically, water level measurements in flooded areas. This algorithm aims ...
Virtual Worlds to enhance Ambient-Assisted Living [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2010)
In this paper we discuss about the integration of Ambient-Assisted Living (AAL) with virtual worlds. The integration of sensors from the AAL environment (e.g. vital signs, motion sensors) in the Virtual World can enhance ...
Determination of a Power-Saving Method for Real- Time Wireless Sensor Networks [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2010)
In wireless sensor networks, battery life is a key resource that must be conserved as much as possible. Nowadays, the main way of achieve power saving in this type of circuits is to implement low-power RF (Radio Frequency) ...
ED-Scorbot: A Robotic test-bed Framework for FPGA-based Neuromorphic systems [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
Neuromorphic engineering is a growing and promising discipline nowadays. Neuro-inspiration and brain understanding applied to solve engineering problems is boosting new architectures, solutions and products today. The ...
Embedded neural network for real-time animal behavior classification [Article]
(Elsevier, 2018)
Recent biological studies have focused on understanding animal interactions and welfare. To help biolo- gists to obtain animals’ behavior information, resources like wireless sensor networks are needed. More- over, large ...
A Real-Time Wireless Sensor Network for Wheelchair Navigation [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
Today, the availability of inexpensive, low power hardware including CMOS cameras and wireless devices make it possible to deploy a wireless sensor network (WSN) with nodes equipped with cameras for a variety of ...
A Two-Level Dynamic Chrono-Scheduling Algorithm [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
We propose a dynamic instruction scheduler that does not need any kind of wakeup logic, as all the instructions are “programmed” on issue stage to be executed in pre-calculated cycles. The scheduler is composed of two ...
Securing a wireless sensor network for human tracking: a review of solutions [Article]
(Wiley, 2014)
Currently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are formed by devices with limited resources and limited power energy availability. Thanks to their cost effectiveness, flexibility, and ease of deployment, wireless sensor ...
An eLearning Standard Approach for Supporting PBL in Computer Engineering [Article]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
Problem-based learning (PBL) has proved to be a highly successful pedagogical model in many fields, although it is not that common in computer engineering. PBL goes beyond the typical teaching methodology by promoting ...
A Dynamic Equilibrium View of Caching Systems [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
In this paper, we present a simple analytical study of caching systems based on the idea of dynamic equilibrium of cache blocks, assuming the Independent Reference Model (IRM) of references. This method allows us to ...
