Natural language processing provides a way to dramatically improve the search experience for end-users and even though NLP is an AI-complete problem for the moment, based on the underlying data models the user can conduct comprehensive queries in a large set of scenarios guided by powerful context-aware prediction mechanisms. Based on this we have built Artemis, an extensible framework that transforms valid query inputs into filters applicable to underlying data models, stored either in-memory or in RDBMS, along with an extension mechanism to further enrich queries expressiveness via annotations or custom configuration and a context-aware prediction mechanism to direct the user into providing a valid query input, while decreasing the searching time. The conducted usability tests, showed that Artemis yields significantly reduced time-to-search, both for novice or experienced end-users with little or no training and for application developers it provides a straightforward apparatus for further improving expressivity based on custom, business-specific vocabulary.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116664512","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 scheduler will run as close to the crowd data sources as possible (i.e., public local servers). Data with a high priority value are sent to the cloud first. We designed an application for the Android platform to carry out experiments with the scheduling process.

In many highly populated countries the HSU (Hart ridge Smoke Unit) grade is used to impose penalties. In many cases, HSU values over 40 ... 50 are leading to legal actions. This paper proposes a method that adopts two cameras, a far infrared camera and a high-resolution visible wavelength camera, as a detection system for smoky vehicle detection. The far infrared camera is used for detecting the location of the vehicle exhaust fumes. This thermal information is fused with visible spectrum information from the high-resolution camera. An algorithm evaluates if the identified vehicles are causing visible exhaust smoke. If smoke is detected, the system stores evidence for further actions. The first prototype version of the system needed an automatic adaptation procedure in order to calibrate far infrared and high-resolution images together. Mechanically, the system can be set up quickly in the chosen roadside location. A developed prototype system is one step towards future tools for authorities to automatically detect and classify vehicles emitting smoke. If a permanent set-up is desired, the system can be installed on a lamp post, beneath an overhead bridge or on other similar structures.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127297604","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 novel system is aimed to work in an urban environment, where a driver experiences lots of stop and go situations. In cities, rear-end accidents are the most common type of accidents, since a momentary lapse of concentration can lead to unsafe headway. The system detects and tracks the vehicle in front of the host vehicle and issues a warning if a crash is imminent, such that the driver has sufficient time to brake or take another action to avoid the accident. Complex functions were developed for lane detection and tracking and vehicle detection and tracking. The rear-end collision warning is based on the computation of Time-To-Collision and Time-Gap taking into account host vehicle speed, relative speed and relative acceleration. Stereovision-based algorithms for driving assistance are computational intensive and mobile devices as they are today have reduced resources. Our algorithms run in real-time, at 20-22 frames/second and at the same time they are robust and have high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130745989","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}

Estimating parameters using a centralized scheme entails transporting data from multiple sensors to a centralized fusion center, leading to high network bandwidth consumption. Additionally, fusing raw sensor data from sensors with different sensing modalities may not be feasible. We propose an alternative approach in which each sensor first individually estimates the unknown parameters based solely on its own sensor data. Since sensors may not have a-priori knowledge of the probability distribution of the unknown parameters, each sensor independently computes its individual maximum likelihood estimates. Individual estimates along with their sufficient statistics are then communicated to the fusion center, which treats these estimates as observations to compute the optimum aggregated maximum likelihood estimates by maximizing the new likelihood function of these observations. The proposed technique offers two significant advantages: (i) Since each sensor computes its individual estimates based solely on its own sensed data, it is easily applicable to sensor networks having multi-modal sensors, and (ii) As compared to raw sensor data, communicating estimates and their sufficient statistics to the fusion center requires substantially less network bandwidth. Performance of the aggregated estimates is evaluated through simulations and by computing the Cramer-Rao lower bound.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122396339","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}

One solution to offload part of the traffic is to send data, whenever possible, through direct phone-to-phone communication. Such opportunistic networks rely on wireless communication to support a decentralized model of communication where nodes can store, carry and forward data directly to others. Up-until-now most work focused on constructing algorithms designed to forward or disseminate data to nodes having a better chance of routing it to its destination. Here, we extend on our previous work, and propose Opportunistic Multimedia Sharing, an algorithm designed to support dissemination of multimedia content over an opportunistic communication model. The algorithm uses the predictability of the node encounters to determine which multimedia files a specific node can deliver closer to the interested nodes. Experimental results show the algorithm can deliver a high success rate (over 80% in same cases), while maintaining a low delivery latency and cost.","PeriodicalId":343658,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing (ICCP)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122800760","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}
