Appliance load monitoring (ALM) systems are systems capable of monitoring appliances’ operation within a building using a single metering point. As such, they uncover information on occupants’ activities of daily living ...
There are increasingly many personalization services in ubiquitous computing environments that involve a group of users rather than individuals. Ubiquitous commerce is one example of these environments. Ubiquitous commerce ...
We analyze the maximum number of ways in which one can intrinsically tag
a very particular kind of digital asset: a gene, which is just a DNA sequence that encodes
a protein. We consider gene tagging under the most ...
We revisit previous analyses on the computation of the maximum mutual information between a genetic sequence and its mutated versions down the generations, taking into account the protein translation mechanism of the genetic ...
The application of a genotype-phenotype mapping in Evolutionary Computation is not a new idea, however, how this mapping process is interpreted, and implemented varies wildly. In the majority of cases a very simple abstraction ...
Grammatical evolution (GE) is a form of grammar-based genetic programming. A particular feature of GE is that it adopts a distinction between the genotype and phenotype similar to that which exists in nature by using a ...
In recent years, a web phenomenon known as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has produced large crowdsourced geographic data sets. OpenStreetMap (OSM), the leading VGI project, aims at building an open-content world ...
We are delighted to announce the release of GEVA an open source software implementation of Grammatical Evolution (GE) in Java. Grammatical Evolution in Java (GEVA) was developed at UCD’s Natural Computing Research & ...
Web search is the dominant form of information access and everyday millions of searches are handled by mainstream search engines, but users still struggle to find what they are looking for, and there is much
room for ...
Grammar formalisms are one of the key representation structures in Computer Science. So it is not surprising that they have also become important as a method for formalizing constraints in Genetic Programming (GP). Practical ...
Today, online reviews for products and services have become an important class of user-generated content and they play a valuable role for countless online businesses by helping to convert casual browsers into informed and ...
The purpose of this paper is to provide a deployment update for the HeyStaks social search system which uses recommendation techniques to add collaboration to mainstream search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. We ...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for determining
the 3D location of a Mobile Tag (MT) using wireless Base
Stations (BSs) and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) one-way signaling.
The algorithm is designed for low power, rapid ...
This paper presents a novel reference-free ultrasonic indoor location system. Unlike most previous proposals, the mobile device (MD) determines its own position based only on ultrasonic signals received at a compact sensor ...
The use of higher-order functions, as a method of abstraction and re-use in EC encodings, has been the subject of relatively little research. In this paper we introduce and give motivation for the ideas of higher-order ...
This paper presents an indoor broadband ultrasonic system for estimation of a mobile device’s 3-D location and three-axis orientation using beacons. It presents the first implementation and characterization of a real ...
In recent years, geographic information has entered the mainstream, deeply altering the pre-existing patterns of its production, distribution, and consumption. Through web mapping, millions of online users utilise spatial ...
The idea of ambient intelligence implies an intrinsic link between individuals and their environment, enabling individuals to access and interact with computing artifacts in ways that are intuitive and do not disrupt ...
This paper describes the use of the SoSAA software framework to implement the hybrid management of communication channels (backchannels) across a distributed software system. SoSAA is a new integrated
architectural solution ...
The paper proposes a hybrid Bayesian approach
for multi-sensor data fusion for 3D localization. The approach
addresses the problem of fusing range-based and sourceless
localization estimates under conditions of varying ...
