Building an intelligent sensing system: a case study
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
Waltenegus Dargie; Alexander SchillThe conception and development of pervasive systems involve interdisciplinary team work. The team consists of people with different research background. While such a composition is desirable to solve real-world problems, it brings with it a...3 - 17
Anthropomorphic awareness of partner robot to user's situation based on gaze and speech detection
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
Tomoko Yonezawa; Hirotake Yamazoe; Akira Utsumi; Shinji AbeThis paper introduces a daily-partner robot, that is aware of the user's situation by using gaze and utterance detection. For appropriate anthropomorphic interaction, the robot should talk to the user in proper timing without interrupti...18 - 38
Dynamic scheduling-based inpatient nursing support: applicability evaluation by laboratory experiments
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
Mingang Cheng; Masako Kanai-Pak; Noriaki Kuwahara; Hiromi Itoh Ozaku; Kiyoshi Kogure; Jun OtaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate a dynamic scheduling-based nursing support system for nurses working in acute care. Due to unpredictable occurrences such as random disturbances from patients and the variability of processing times ...39 - 57
The context aware workflow execution framework
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
Liliana Ardissono; Roberto Furnari; Anna Goy; Giovanna Petrone; Marino SegnanThe development of self-adapting web applications based on composite architectures, such as service-oriented architectures (SOA), is challenged by the lack of support to the specification of explicit adaptation policies for the context awar...58 - 76
Improving antijamming characteristics of spread spectrum communication systems
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
K. Jayanthi; P. DananjayanA novel spread spectrum (SS) system based on the unconventional self encoding principle has been proposed for highly secured data transmissions. This system inherits the antijamming (AJ) and low probability of interception (LPI) characteris...77 - 87
Wireless network simulators relevance compared to a real testbed in outdoor and indoor environments
DOI: 10.1504/IJAACS.2012.044781
Abderrezak Rachedi; Stéphane Lohier; Sylvain Cherrier; Ismail SalhiIn this paper, we propose a comparative study between results generated by a real 802.11 testbed in different outdoor and indoor environments and three usual network simulators (NS2, QualNet and OPNET). The goal of this study is to evaluate...88 - 101
