Due to rapid development of wireless power transfer technology, sensors can be recharged when they are within limited charging ranges of mobile devices and we call this kind of network rechargeable WSN(RWSN). In RWSN, mobile chargers (MC) are employed to recharge the sensor nodes. However, since charging power, moving speed and total energy of one MC are limited, finding the minimal MCs and how to schedule the MCs to complete the charging task of the sensor node become the major problems in such RWSNs. In this work, a novel path planning scheme, named ACO_PP (Ant Colony System based path planning), is proposed by modeling the path planning problem of the MC in rechargeable wireless sensor network. In ACO_PP, virtual charge nodes are introduced to create the routes for MCs, and then the Ant Colony Optimization is employed to optimize these routes. The simulation results show that the ACO_PP scheme achieves better performance than existing schemes.","PeriodicalId":417370,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management & Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"32 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116097972","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}

Understanding and monitoring the core technological components (e.g., technology process, operation method, function) of a technology is an important issue for researchers to develop R&D policy and manage product competitiveness. However, it is difficult to identify core technological components from a mass of terms, and we may experience some difficulties with describing complete technical details and understanding the terms-based results. This paper proposes a Subject-Action-Object (SAO)-based method, in which (1) SAO structures are extracted from patents for describing the function, relationship and operation in specified topics; (2) a systematic method is built to extract and screen technological components from SAOs; and (3) we propose a “relevance indicator” to calculate the relevance of the technological components to requirements, and finally identify core technological components based on this indicator. An empirical study of graphene is performed to demonstrate the proposed method. The resulting knowledge may hold interest for R&D management and corporate technology strategies in practice.","PeriodicalId":417370,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management & Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121978720","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}

Prospective memory (PM) failures may lead to serious consequences. Although many PM aid systems have been developed, existing works on reminder systems only focus on individual tasks. However, people with PM difficulties (e.g., elderly) are often involved in many group tasks and it is important to take into account the interaction between group members while designing an efficient reminding system for group tasks. Based on the theoretical background of PM, this paper thoroughly analyzes the factors that will affect the PM task performance and proposes a computational approach for determining the appropriate number of reminders and reminding method. To evaluate the proposed reminding model, we conducted a preliminary user study and the participants felt that the reminders are appropriate and our approach provides a better overall experience and reminds more effectively than its control version.","PeriodicalId":417370,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management & Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122144421","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 overall design procedure is consisted of three parts, which includes system decomposition, model transformation, and LMI-based controller design. Specifically, the tracking problem is firstly reformulated as the robust H — control for uncertain quasi-LPV error subsystems through variable decomposition and small gain theorem. Then, the tensor-product model transformation technique is used to transform the system matrices into convex polytopic forms, which has less computational load and more flexibility due to the system decomposition process. Since only the weighting functions are related to the system states, the controller can be obtained by solving finite number of LMIs corresponding the LTI vertex systems, instead of solving state-dependent Riccati equation on line at a high Hertz rate. Moreover, by defining the control gain matrix described as a convex polytopic form with the same weighting functions, the designed controller is time-varying and nonlinear. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control method can guarantee both good tracking and disturbances rejection performance.","PeriodicalId":417370,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management & Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130713848","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}

And then the later image threshold segmentation is affected. We propose a moving-window threshold segmentation algorithm based on contrast enhancement. According to the characteristics of gray levels and by way of different histogram enhancement, the image contrast can be effectively improved. Moving-window threshold segmentation can reconstruct image gray space. In accordance with the certain rules and artificial selection of a small piece of Am XAn, threshold segmentation of sub-block can be done. Then the threshold segmentation of the whole image can be obtained through progressive scan from top to bottom. Then, by combining the split result together and smoothing the image block adjacent joint, the final image segmentation is obtained. The experimental results show that image gray histogram completely enhances the haze image and efficiently restrains the noise.","PeriodicalId":417370,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Software, Knowledge, Information Management & Applications (SKIMA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126547912","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}
