The learning cycle is used as a centrepiece from which the user experience is derived and higher-level knowledge understood. We propose an architecture by which this sensorial experience can be presented to users, creating immersion and continuity. I. BUILDING UP THE EXPERIENCE he ability to understand and also to empathize or interact with a user requires access to the deeper levels of the user's emotions and expressions. By understanding people’s feelings, dreams and thoughts, we can create a truly interactive conversation with them. However, an experience is never static; on the contrary, it evolves. To gather knowledge on these subjects we need to record data from sensors at the place and time of their occurrence. Sanders [1] and Cain [2] suggest learning from people – summarized by figure 1. Listening to what people say and think provides us with an explicit knowledge (beyond what they express in words). Watching what people do and seeing what they use provides us with observable knowledge. Understanding what people think, know and dream provides us with tacit knowledge (knowledge that can’t be expressed in words). This information can show us how a person envisions a better future through expressed latent needs (only satisfiable in the future). Figure 1. Three levels of knowledge extraction from observing human actions Kolb [3] associates human experience with the learning process. He suggests there are four stages following one another (figure 2): the Concrete Experience; followed by Reflection on that experience; with Abstract Conceptualization then deriving social judgment to describe the experience; leading to ways of modifying the next experience called Active Experimentation, that feeds the next Concrete Experience. This recursive experiencing may happen very fast or over longer periods, depending on the case. II.FROM SENSING TO EXPERIENCING A. The Notion of Sensing Aristotle defined the traditional five human senses as sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste [4]. Humans have six additional senses, namely pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), joint motion and acceleration (proprioception & kinesthesia), sense of time, sense of temperature differences (thermoception), and the sense of direction (magnetoception) [5]. All those senses actively participate in the creation of the user experience. Therefore, when designing application for the end-user, it is crucial to record the sensed aspects of the experience, with samples of the before, during and after, regardless of the physical setting of the observed experience. B. Raw Sensing and Mobile Devices To record the physical aspects of a user experience – such as ambient sounds, people presence and location – physical sensors are necessary. To achieve this regardless of the physical setting, a pervasive approach must be taken.

This model can successfully predict long sequences of a mobile user's path from observed sequences and also uses successive sequences of observed data to train its learning parameters to enhance prediction accuracy.

Currently, most vendors use Ternary Content Addressable Memories (TCAMs) to achieve high-performance packet classification. TCAMs use parallel hardware to check all rules simultaneously. Despite their high speed, TCAMs have a fundamental in dealing with ranges efficiently. Many packet classification rules contain range specifications, each of which needs to be translated into multiple prefixes to store in TCAMs. Such translation may result in an explosive increase in the number of required TCAM entries. In this paper, we propose a redundancy removal algorithm using a tree representation of rules. The proposed algorithm removes redundant rules and combines overlaying rules to build an equivalent, smaller rule set for a given packet classifier. This equivalent transformation can significantly reduce the number of required TCAM entries. Our experiments show a reduction of 70.9% in the number of TCAM entries. Besides, our algorithm eliminates requirement of priority encoder circuits. It can also be used as a preprocessor, in tandem with other methods, to achieve further performance imrpovement.","PeriodicalId":172400,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124834906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability for vehicles to communicate is a promising way to alleviate traffic accidents by reducing the response time associated with human reaction to nearby drivers. In addition the limitations of standard driving can be overcome by providing drivers with instantaneous information about complications up ahead. Shockwaves, induced by vehicle speed differentials, are a typical mobility pattern that occurs with the formation and propagation of vehicle queues. These induce sudden braking and increase the occurrence of traffic incidents. In this paper, we investigate safety applications in highways with shockwave mobility and different lane configurations in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). We evaluate the performance of multi-hop broadcast communication using the ns-2 simulator with vehicles following a shockwave mobility pattern in fully-connected traffic streams.

Conventional short range sensor radio, however, is often inefficient for the inter-cluster communication due to the large distance between cluster heads. One solution is to use a longer range radio for inter-cluster head communication. In this paper, we consider a dual-radio cluster head with IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11b. A key issue is that 802.15.4 and 802.11b use the same frequency band at 2.4 GHz, so that they can potentially interfere with each other. We analyze this interference behavior via testbed experiments. Our results indicate that with a simple relaying mechanism, interference was quite high even when orthogonal channels are used for two radios.

In recent years, a new technology called Cognitive Radio has been advocated to solve the impending spectral drought. The premise of Cognitive Radio is that it can modify its signal to either avoid currently occupied frequency bands or alter its transmission parameters so as to cohabit the frequency band without interfering with the primary user. However, if the widespread use of Cognitive Radios and Dynamic Access Networks becomes a reality, it would enable multiple users to occupy the same frequency band. There have yet to be any works published regarding how to classify the signals of multiple users, a barrier which will have great implications in the future use of Cognitive Radio. In addition to future commercial applications for multi- user signal classification, there is currently a need for this technology in the military. Military communication devices are used in scenarios where the RF spectrum is filled with jamming and interference from enemies. A method to detect and classify what signals are being used to jam and interfere would solve a significant roadblock for the military. Cyclic spectral analysis has proven to be a key tool in Cognitive Radios, giving them the ability to determine the parameters of the present signal, thus being able to modify its own transmission accordingly. Using this analysis as a foundation, we revisit the signal classification problem and propose a novel multi-user signal classification scheme using spectral correlation.","PeriodicalId":172400,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121877962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
