In current research studies and testbed deployments of sensor networks, individual sensor nodes are usually assumed to be static. However, recent applications require mobile sensor nodes, something that poses unique ...

In this paper we propose and evaluate a new technique that localizes the description ability of the well established MPEG-7 and MPEG-7-like global descriptors. We employ the SURF detector to define salient image patches ...

Compact Composite Descriptors (CCD) are global image features capturing both, color and texture characteristics, at the same time in a very compact representation. In this paper we propose a combination of two recently ...

Clinical protocols play an important role in today’s evidence based medicine for developing clinical reasoning skills [1] and they are extensively used both in teaching and practicing medicine. In this research, we will ...

The SFly project is an EU-funded project, with the goal to create a swarm of autonomous vision controlled micro aerial vehicles. The mission in mind is that a swarm of MAV’s autonomously maps out an unknown environmen ...

In the traditional software development cycle, requirements gathering is considered the most critical phase. Getting the requirements right early has become a dogma in software engineering because the correction of erroneous ...

Recent research has proved the positive therapeutic impacts of robot interaction with children diagnosed with the autism spectrum condition. Until now, most of the evaluated treatment methods apply one-to-one sessions ...

In this paper, a new low level feature suitable for Hand Drawn Color Sketches retrieval is presented. The proposed feature structure combines color and spatial color distribution information. The combination of these two ...

Linked Data (LD) overlays the World Wide Web of documents with a Web of Data. This is becoming significant as shown in the growth of LD repositories available as part of the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. At the instance-level, ...

Linked Data (LD) is supplementing the World Wide Web of documents with a Web of data. This is becoming apparent from the number of LD repositories available as part of the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. At the instance-level, ...

Students face difficulties in learning mathematical processes. As a result, they have negative emotions toward mathematics. The use of technology is employed to change the student’s attitude toward mathematics. Some ...

A text localization technique is required to successfully exploit document images such as technical articles and letters. The proposed method detects and extracts text areas from document images. Initially a connected ...

eHealth is an interdisciplinary research area that fosters application of informatics and communication technologies for the improvement of healthcare delivery. In this paper, we present an overall analysis of eHealth ...

This paper gives an overview of the APIM (Aristotle Parallel Inference Machine) research project, which aims to the design of a new multiprocessor architecture for the parallel execution of logic programs. The APIM system ...

Personal e-health systems are the next generation of e-health applications and their goal is to assist patientsin managing their disease and to help both patients and healthy people maintain behaviours that ...

Purpose – In order to enhance privacy protection during electronic transactions, the purpose of this paper is to propose, develop, and evaluate a personal data management framework called Polis that abides by the following ...

We present a personal data management framework called Polis, which abides by the following principle: Every individual has absolute control over her personal data, which reside only at her own side. Preliminary results ...

Traditional tools for information retrieval (IR) evaluation, such as TREC’s trec_eval, have outdated command-line interfaces with many unused features, or ‘switches’, accumulated over the years. They are usually seen ...

In this paper we present a novel colorization technique that manages to significantly reduce color bleeding artifacts caused by weak object boundaries and also requires only abstract color indications and placement from ...

In this paper, we propose a user-centric software architecture for managing Ubiquitous Health Monitoring Data (UHMD) generated from wearable sensors in a Ubiquitous Health Monitoring System (UHMS), and examine how these ...
