The paper will present a user friendly smart home infrastructure that offers the base platform for modular wireless nodes (utilising ZigBee technology integrated with the Arduino microcontroller board) which can collect data, send information and control almost any aspect of the house (given that a proper interface is established), as well as the ability to access those nodes and their information through a cross-platform graphical user interface (a combination of Java and MySQL database). The system will be referred to as “BeeHouse” in this paper. This paper will propose a possible solution for a wireless modular home automation system that is smart, user friendly and easy to setup.

The HACO algorithm was modified and optimized to solve the global path planning problem unlike the conventional ACO algorithm which was proposed to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) or Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). However, there is a common shortcoming in the ACO algorithms for global path planning, including HACO algorithm. Ants carry out the exploration task relatively well around the starting point. On the other hand, they are hindered in their work as they approached the goal point, because they are attracted by the intensity of heuristic value and the accumulated pheromone while the ACO algorithm works. As a result, they have a strong tendency not to explore and most of them follow the path that found in the beginning of the search. This could cause the local optimal solutions. Thus, we propose a way to solve this problem in this paper. It is the Bilateral Cooperative Exploration (BCE) method. The BCE is the idea that performs the search task again by changing the goal point into the starting point and vice versa. The simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":297420,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE DEST 2011)","volume":"1 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114011751","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}

This will require new Quality of Service (QoS) functionality and mechanisms for CPS. This paper will investigate QoS requirements for CPS and discuss the state of the art in CPS QoS techniques and models. Research challenges to providing QoS for CPS will be discussed and a new CPS framework that provides end-to-end QoS in a complex system-of-systems CPS will be presented. Two case studies, in smart energy grids and intelligent vehicle systems, will be provided to clearly illustrate the QoS requirements in CPS and how it can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":297420,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE DEST 2011)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127297002","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}

It is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. Here, there is a number of information that is beyond the imagination when applied. The features designed is to simplify the amount of external circuitry required; to configure the modules for simultaneous en-ergy-up and energy-down supply the attraction in sequencing with its complex logic and mixed-signals.

Recently, a “Web-based Human Genome Database System” is implemented in National Taiwan University Hospital. The achievement of this system is that it integrates the modules of sequence alignment and data compression on genome. For goals of secure accessing this system over insecure networks, protocols of user authentication become more important.

The traditional type-1 fuzzy logic controller (FLC) using precise fuzzy sets cannot fully model and handle the uncertainties of sensor data. However, type-2 FLC using type-2 fuzzy sets with a footprint of uncertainty (FOU) produce better performances under noisy environments. In this paper, therefore, we present a control architecture for flocking behavior that is based on interval type-2 FLC to implement the flocking behaviors of separation, obstacle avoidance, and velocity matching. The type-2 based control system could cope with the uncertainties of noisy sensor measurements and resulted in good performances that outperformed the type-1 FLC.","PeriodicalId":297420,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE DEST 2011)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115743256","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}

Translational medical research is an emerging field of work, which aims to bridge the gap between basic medical science research and clinical research/patient care. We analyze the key challenges of digital ecosystems for translational research, based on real world scenarios posed by the Lab for Translational Research at the Harvard Medical School and the Genomics Research Centre of the Griffith University, and show how traditional IT approaches fail to fulfill these challenges. We then introduce our design for a translational research ecosystem. Several key contributions are made: A novel approach to managing ad-hoc research ecosystems is introduced; a new security approach for translational research is proposed which allows each participating site to retain control over its data and define its own policies to ensure legal and ethical compliance; and a design for a novel interactive access control framework which allows users to easily share data, while adhering to their organization's policies is presented.","PeriodicalId":297420,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE DEST 2011)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126815804","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}
