Wireless local area network (WLAN) is a widely used wireless communication in recent years. Large scale shopping malls in the wireless local area network in the custom business positioning services are mostly accurate positioning to the store. However, the existing localization algorithms have many disadvantages, such as large signal acquisition, loss of signal and low precision when the scene is...
Social events like carnival parades are major activities for modern urban life. However, public authorities should tackle a series of challenges in order to successfully manage such spectacles that take place in specific time periods and urban areas inside a city. Such challenges mainly concern crowd management and resource planning operations. Local public authorities should be able to take fast...
Chronic heart failure represents a global pandemic, currently affecting over 26 million of patients worldwide. It is a major contributor in the death rate of patients with cardiovascular diseases and results in more than 1 million hospitalizations annually in Europe and North America. Methods for chronic heart failure detection can be utilized to act preventive, improve early diagnosis and avoid hospitalizations...
The ability to recognize emotions in spoken words is central in human communication and social relationships. When studying one's ability to perceive emotions, the standard paradigm is to have listeners choose which one of several emotion words best characterizes linguistically neutral utterances made by actors attempting to portray various emotional states. Usually, generic experiment control software...
Internet of Things (IoT) is considered a disruptive technology that is expected to change our everyday-life and contribute to the economic development. In particular, agriculture is a domain that can greatly benefit from the application of emerging technologies in the IoT field in order to reduce production costs and increase product quality. This work proposes a system based on Internet of Things...
The wide availability of GPS-enabled devices has fueled the development of location-based applications. Among the most popular are navigation applications that guide users along their way. Due to the limited availability and precision of GPS in typical indoor environments, most navigation applications are limited to outdoor scenarios. To mitigate this, researchers and practitioners have been developing...
The behavior of university students is a field of study on the rise, whose main objective is the search for patterns that help improve their learning process. This paper analyzes the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in Higher Education and the interactions with their different tools from the students' viewpoint. For the analysis of the student activity statistical techniques and algorithms...
Currently, many of the elements that surround us in daily life need software systems that work from the information available in the domain (data-driven application domains) by performing a process of data mining from it. Between the data mining techniques used in everyday problems we find the k-Nearest Neighbors technique. However, in domains and real situations it is very common to find vague, ambiguous...
The use of ubiquitous devices on large environment such as smart-cities enables opportunities to solve more complex problems and react to changes quicker. Namely the use of computational resources to assist the management of environment through predicament of parameters based on sustainable indicators applied to smart-cities. This paper considers the creation of a computational sustainability archetype...
Social isolation is a problem that is accentuated in the stage of old age. This condition puts at risk the physical and mental integrity of older adults. This paper presents a predictive model for the automatic detection of social isolation in older adults. The predictive model was implemented in a mobile application that monitors communication and mobility activities performed by an older adult....
