The first route model shows that the frequency (FRQ) drop method is superior to the random (RND) drop method when the perceived difference in QoS (ΔQoS) from the full transmission mode to the lower transmission mode is small and that the ratio (x) of number of shrunk packets to 1 dropped packet is low. Afterwards, this model is extended to show the QoS when packet loss concealment is used. Later, this model is extended to show the QoS when buffering is allowed. Final results show that if the constraint (QoSWB — AVGQoSPLC > x x (QoSWB — QoSNB)) is met then the RND method achieves worse QoS than the FRQ method. This result holds with and without buffering.","PeriodicalId":403890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 8th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"717 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125337272","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}

In this paper, we consider applications to the field of Zika outbreaks. Current solutions are limited to preventative measures such as spraying pesticides, destruction of mosquito breeding grounds, and avoiding the outdoors in the evening. However, these current methods have significant limitations because the geographic areas of Zika-carrying mosquito infestation are not known in fine-grained detail and testing for these locations is difficult. However, through crowdsensing techniques there are ways to better identify and narrow location determination. Devices such as smartphones are very common among the majority of citizens, and these devices can collect a plethora of information. This paper will focus on the use of crowdsensing techniques coupled with medical professional's diagnosis of Zika virus to impute possible vector data to provide more fine-grained and sophisticated location determination for Zika outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":403890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 8th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126717645","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}

Most SHM techniques involve some form of physics-based modeling, which can be difficult and costly. We propose an efficient vibration-collecting method using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that minimizes the need to perform modeling, making the SHM system easy to deploy on any structure with little to no modification. In our algorithm, we employ a two-layer stacking technique, similar to protocol stacking in networking. At the core of the algorithm is a frequency domain pattern matching technique applied to observed vibrations that is executed by each sensor node in the bottom layer of the algorithm. An energy management scheme for attaining the desired lifetime of the WSN is also proposed. The scheme is based upon a novel energy management circuit that decreases current for inactive sensor nodes, such to increase the lifetime of the nodes up to 90-fold. Upper bounds on system lifetime are determined experimentally using sensor nodes based upon the Zolertia Z1 mote. Finally, the pattern matching technique is validated on an experimental structure.","PeriodicalId":403890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 8th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126725345","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}

However, the optimization of size and the time needed to train a deep network is a research area that needs much improvement. In this paper, we address the issue of speed and size by proposing a compressed convolutional neural network model namely Residual Squeeze CNDS. Proposed models compresses the earlier very successful Residual-CNDS network and further improves on following aspects: (1) small model size, (2) faster speed, (3) uses residual learning for faster convergence, better generalization, and solves the issue of degradation, (4) matches the recognition accuracy of the non-compressed model on the very large-scale grand challenge MIT Places 365-Standard scene dataset. In comparison to Residual-CNDS the proposed model is 87.64% smaller in size and 13.33% faster in the training time. This supports our claim that the proposed model inherits the best aspects of Residual-CNDS model and further improves upon it. Moreover, we present our attempt at a more disciplined approach to searching the design space for novel CNN architectures. In comparison to SQUEEZENET our proposed framework can be more easily adapted and fully integrated with the residual learning for compressing various other contemporary deep learning convolutional neural network models.","PeriodicalId":403890,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 8th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122409637","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}

Instead, such MAS infrastructure is generally attended to in an ad-hoc fashion and important aspects of requirements analysis are often neglected altogether. The IEEE Std 830 model plays a key role in standardizing requirement specifications (SRS) for complex development of conventional software. Knowing that MAS are a natural and logical evolution of the conventional software development paradigms, we believe that the MAS requirement phase can thoroughly benefit from applying such a specific standard model in such a way that results in a high-quality and more accepted SRS artifact.
