The solution involves the evolution and tuning of a neural network (NN), through a genetic algorithm (GA). The former is utilized to interface to a sensor, on-board a robotic sensor agent. Multiple NN interfaces can be utilized for multiple sensors, hence providing for a parallel and scalable system. The system introduces the \"sense remotely, actuate immediately\" concept, along with an analysis of a completely pervasive and sentient environment, in which sensors provide the user with real-time and wireless sensory information, while actuators provision for the user's response to the filtered data, streaming from the plethora of intelligent sensors.","PeriodicalId":199467,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Workshop on Scientific Use of Submarine Cables and Related Technologies, 2003.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125860395","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 goal is not directly to identify the better dimension but to understand its influence on the quality of the result. We show that contrary to what common sense suggests, high dimension profile (high level of knowledge about users) reduces the precision of the measurement. To obtain this result, we develop a metric comparison method based on the evaluation of cluster organization quality. One of the main practical applications of this result is that: more than better precision, reduced profiles speed up computation time and reduce needed resources. We also discuss more theoretical possible conclusions and application of our work in the context of community characterization.","PeriodicalId":199467,"journal":{"name":"The 3rd International Workshop on Scientific Use of Submarine Cables and Related Technologies, 2003.","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127338487","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}
