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 ...
In this paper we describe the results of a four-week diary study of mobile information needs, focusing on the intent behind mobile needs and the importance on context on such
needs. We identified three key intents among ...
This paper describes an entry to the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2008. The approach employs the pre-existing Agent Factory framework and extends this framework in line with experience gained from its use within the ...
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, ...
Stock photo libraries are the most common means for publishers and advertisers to find images for their media. Searching for the
perfect photo can be a time-consuming and frustrating task. This is because searching is ...
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 ...
Classic computing systems are characterised by heterogeneity, with its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This
raises a number of difficulties for software engineers. The vision offered by a mix-and-match approach is ...
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 ...
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 ...
