Targeted at schools, 150 Digit encourages the active participation of the users to the classification (in terms of tagging) of the exhibition contents and to the creation of new contents. The social components of the portal are leveraged by a semantic layer, which recommends the users with new tags, thus inducing new connections over the exhibits. Content items are recommended as well using both the same semantic strategy and collaborative filtering approaches. As part of the user involvement, 150 Digit features a 3D visit of the exhibitions, where the users can navigate the reconstruction of the exhibitions through a specifically developed web-plugin.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115778469","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 paper presents one based on eight accelerometers connected through I2C bus to a small board that provides wireless communication. Data is collected and sent to a PC for analysis and warning.

The Web 2.0 has been transformed into a social Web, extending the social capabilities of users. A big challenge for the Web is to become ubiquitous, blended with the everyday life of people. The Pervasive Web would be effectively enabled when physical things are seamlessly connected to the Web, offering real-world services to users. In a previous work, we examined the feasibility of utilizing existing online social networking platforms, to create a social smart home that promotes sharing of sensor and household devices between family members. In this paper, we present some early experiences obtained from developing two real-world social applications, the first for environmental monitoring in a farm and the second for increasing energy awareness by sharing electricity consumption information between friends. Through these two deployments, we demonstrate the potential benefits of giving a social texture to pervasive applications.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"30 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120866312","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 unique characteristics of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) make security more challenging. Since a member of Cognitive Radio Networks may join or leave the network at any time, the issue of supporting secure communication in CRNs becomes more critical than for other conventional wireless networks. This work thus proposes digital signature-based secure communication for identifying efficient primary users in CRNs. The security analysis is analyzed to guarantee that the proposed approach achieves security proof.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124372257","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 information acquired on the bus communication is often redundant and not relevant. Therefore in the case of faults detection and isolation based on machine learning model, we need to reduce the number of variables according with their relevance and allowing taking decision in real time. In this paper, we propose a new approach for feature selection using fuzzy-ARTMAP classification and conflict characterization in fault diagnosis process. This approach is realized in two stages. In the first one, we classify the unfaulty functioning data of system using the fuzzy-ARTMAP classification. In the second stage, a conflict is accounted between features of test data based on the hyper-cubes resulted in the first stage. Two features are in conflict if her intersection does not belong to the model elaborated by fuzzy-ARTMAP classification. This approach is applied with success in automotive application in which the relevant features are detected and isolated.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134525439","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}

Triage Network that the sensor network is applied to the triage is actively researched. In Triage Network, it is necessary to maintain high data arrival rates since living body information is handled. However when the number of patients and amounts of handled data increases, amounts of traffic increase and it becomes easy to decrease data arrival rates by the band pressure. In this paper, we propose data transmission adapting to density of sensor, DTaD. When sensor density is low, all sensor nodes transmit data at short intervals since amounts of traffic is not so huge. When sensor density is high, amounts of traffic is controlled by lengthening data transmission intervals of patients with low transportation priority and high arrival rates of data are maintained. We evaluate our proposal by the computer simulation and show this effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"62 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124322192","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}
