We spend a lot of our time online using web search services, but even the leading search engines frequently fail to deliver relevant results for the vague queries that are commonplace among today’s web searchers. Interestingly, ...
This paper analyses the advantages and
disadvantages of the K-means algorithm and the DENCLUE algorithm. In order to realise the automation of clustering analysis and eliminate human factors, both partitioning and ...
Intelligent agents offer a viable paradigm for enabling
AmI applications and services. As WSN technologies
are anticipated to provide an indispensable component in
many application domains, the need for enabling the ...
Power management for WSNs can take many forms, from adaptively tuning the power consumption of some of the components of a node to hibernating it completely. In the later case, the competence of the WSN must not be ...
This paper discusses the theory and algorithmic design of the CADD (clustering algorithm based on object density and direction) algorithm. This algorithm seeks to harness the respective advantages of the k-means and DENCLUE ...
Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Highly sensorised systems present two parallel challenges: how to design a sensor suite that can efficiently and cost-effectively support the needs of given services; and to extract the semantically relevant interpretations, ...
Users of social bookmarking systems take advantage of pivot
browsing, an interaction technique allowing them to easily refine
lists of bookmarks through the selection of filter terms. However,
social bookmarking systems ...
Mobile sensors are an attractive proposition for environmental sensing, but pose significant engineering problems. Not least amongst these is the need to match the behaviour of the sensor platform to the physical environment ...
Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular as a means of information access while on-the-go. Mobile users are likely to be interested in locating different types of content. However, the mobile space presents a number ...
The Mobile Web promises a new age of anytime, anywhere information access to billions of users across the globe. However, the Mobile Internet represents a challenging information access environment, particularly from a ...
Modern computing systems require powerful software frameworks to ease their development and manage their complexity. These issues are addressed within both Component-Based Software Engineering and Agent-Oriented Software ...
Agent Factory is a cohesive framework for the development and
deployment of multi-agent systems. Since its inception in the mid 1990s,
Agent Factory has gone through a metamorphosis process, whereby several
new extensions, ...
Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both ...
Mobile computing is undoubtedly one of the predominant computer usage paradigms in operation today. The implications of what might be cautiously termed a usage paradigm shift have still not crystallised fully, either for ...
Ongoing developments in an array of mobile computing technologies have rendered the deployment of intelligent agents feasible on lightweight computational devices such as mobile phones. This development extends the Multi-Agent ...
There is a need to increase long-term exercise compliance amongst rheumatology patients to improve symptoms and quality of life. Exergaming systems, (computer video-game based exercise) could provide these patients with a ...
Pervasive systems present the need to interpret large quantities of data from many sources. Context models support developers working with such data by providing a shared representation of the environment on which to base ...
