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) ...
A PCI AER Co-Processor Evaluation Based on CPUs Performance Counters [Article]
(JIT Editorial Office, Library and Information Center, National Dong Hwa University, 2012)
Image processing in digital computer systems usually considers the visual information as a sequence of frames. These frames are from cameras that capture reality for a short period of time. They are renewed and transmitted ...
Towards an intelligent and supportive environment for people with physical or cognitive restrictions [Presentation]
(ACM, 2009)
AmbienNet environment has been developed with the aim of demonstrating the feasibility of accessible intelligent environments designed to support people with disabilities and older persons living independently. Its ...
A Middleware-based Approach for Context-aware Computing [Article]
(CEPIS: Council of European Professional Informatics Societies, 2007)
Ubiquitous computing environments integrate a large number of heterogeneous devices, which convey an increasing level of complexity when developing ubiquitous applications. A solution to this problem resorts to the use ...
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 ...
Healthrecsys: Sistema recomendador para la salud [PhD Thesis]
(2017-09-18)
Cuando se habla de información de salud en Internet, inmediatamente se piensa en información procedente de colecciones dirigidas por profesionales y por otras entidades que están en continua colaboración y creación de ...
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 ...
A generalization of path following for mobile robots [Presentation]
(IEEE Computer Society, 1999)
Several authors have proposed some methods for applying path following in specific cases to mobile robots. When we try to extend the path following approach to the general problem several difficulties arise. We present a ...
