However, the huge increase in bandwidth availability and consumption during the last decade has stimulated the evolution of TCP and introduction of new versions that are more suited for high speed networks. Many factors can influence the performance of TCP protocol, starting from scarcity of network resources, through client or server misconfiguration, to internal limitations of applications. Proper identification of the TCP performance bottlenecks is therefore an important challenge for network operators. In the paper we proposed the methodology for finding root causes of througput degradation in TCP connections based on passive measurements. This methodology was verified by experiments conducted in a live network with 4G wireless Internet access.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233321","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}

Dynamic Time Warping algorithm has been applied to provide time alignment of the given media description. The detection involved classification method based on cost function, calculated upon signal similarity and alignment path. Potential false matches were eliminated in the algorithm by comparing costs of the path subsequences to a threshold value.

The platform adapts automatically and transparently to any device with data connection. Given its specific purpose, both data protection and tailored-to-purpose products are accounted for through user specific access roles. This paper presents the platform's overall architecture and the technologies adopted for server-side, focusing on communication with the front-end and with the wireless sensor network, and the user interface development, using state-of-the-art frameworks for cross-platform standardized development.

The methodological approach-based on theoretical and empirical study in the field of e-banking, allows them to build the evaluation model for the construction of high quality e-banking website. Subsequently, the authors carried out multilateral analyses and presented the conclusions of the study. The identified categories are classified into three groups: economic, technological and anti-crisis.

The most widely used type of data that is being collected and analyzed is financial data and sensor readings. Various businesses have realized that financial time series analysis is a powerful analytical tool that can lead to competitive advantages. Likewise, sensor networks generate time series and if they are properly analyzed can give a better understanding of the processes that are being monitored. In this paper we propose a novel generic histogram-based method for feature engineering of time series data. The preprocessing phase consists of several steps: deseansonalyzing the time series data, modeling the speed of change with first derivatives, and finally calculating histograms. By doing all of those steps the goal is three-fold: achieve invariance to different factors, good modeling of the data and preform significant feature reduction. This method was applied to the AAIA Data Mining Competition 2015, which was concerned with recognition of activities carried out by firefighters by analyzing body sensor network readings. By doing that we were able to score the third place with predictive accuracy of about 83%, which was about 1% worse than the winning solution.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115307236","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}

We chose 8 methods of adaptive threshold segmentation, with different approach. They were applied to 6 different monochromatic images derived from original RGB images, by splitting layers, conversion to Lab colour space and colour deconvolution. Evaluation of the results was performed with basic statistical measures as sensitivity and specificity along with Jaccard's coefficient.

The main idea was to enhance the tracking of a human arm in order to obtain precise coordinates. The Kinect plays the role of a calibration device and sensors' data are used in kinematics equations for enhanced tracking of the arm. This way the resulting information has less uncertainty and can be directly transmitted to another system, e.g. robotics one. The system has been implemented using kinematics-based approach with transformation operators as well as quaternions. In terms of accuracy the main result is that the Kinect performs very similar with sensors.","PeriodicalId":276884,"journal":{"name":"2015 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114852982","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}
