Nowadays, control of heating, cooling and ventilation equipment operation is mainly achieved via timers with fixed setback schedules, configured using experience and standard models of space occupancy. Applying generic ...
Recent economic and technical advances in wireless communication have allowed the deployment of low-power and lossy wireless networks—LowPANs, potentially comprised of a large number of nodes to serve new types of applications. ...
In wireless sensor networks, determining the set of locations to activate sensors, such that the amount of information received is maximised, is an important task. With the model driven approach to sensor networks, a ...
User-generated content has dominated the web’s recent growth and today the so-called real-time web provides us with unprecedented access to the real-time opinions, views, and ratings of millions of users. For example, ...
Wearable sensor systems require an interactive and communicative interface for the user to interpret data in a meaningful way. The development of adaptive personalization features in a visualization tool for such systems ...
In this paper we describe the results of a live-user study to demonstrate the benefits of using the social search utility HeyStaks, a novel approach to Web search that combines ideas from personalization and social networking ...
The digital camera revolution has changed the world of photography and now most people have access to, and even regularly carry, a digital camera. Often these cameras have been designed with simplicity in mind: they harness ...
In this work we propose that the high volumes of data on real-time networks like Twitter can be harnessed as a useful source of recommendation knowledge. We describe Buzzer, a news recommendation system that is capable of ...
Social services like Twitter are increasingly used to provide a conversational backdrop to real-world events in real-time. Sporting events are a good example of this and this year, millions of users tweeted their comments ...
In a variety of emerging networked computing system domains over the years, there have been bursts of activity on new medium access control (MAC) protocols, as new communication transceiver technologies with greater ...
