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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
mTOSSIM: A simulator that estimates battery lifetime in wireless sensor networks [Article]
(Elsevier, 2013)
Knowledge of the battery lifetime of the wireless sensor network is important for many situations, such as in evaluation of the location of nodes or the estimation of the connectivity, along time, between devices. However, ...
AER Filtering Using GLIDER: VHDL Cellular Automata Description [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2008)
Cellular Automata (CA) is a bio-inspired processing model for problem solving, initially proposed by Von Neumann. This approach modularizes the processing by dividing the solution into synchronous cells that change their ...
Wireless Sensor Network for Wildlife Tracking and Behavior Classification of Animals in Doñana [Article]
(IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
The study and monitoring of wildlife has always been a subject of great interest. Studying the behavior of wild animals is a difficult task due to the difficulties of tracking and classifying their actions. Nowadays, ...
