Our proposal — referring to integrating wireless sensors into cloud systems for ambient assisted living — belongs to the “NOAH” (NOt Alone at Home) E.U. project, which addresses the theme of supporting independent life of older adults living alone, by empowering them in daily life activity self-management, by providing them with a more effective connection to their supporting networks (relatives,...
in this paper, the authors investigated the implementation of the analysis of variance method (ANOVA) for the energy efficiency analysis of a given smart grid. In the first section of the work, technical matters such as energy optimization and saving, consumption analysis and predictions in the smart grid context are presented. In the followings, the theoretical background regarding the analysis of...
For the analysis of communication we need to study the main parameters that describe the vocal sounds from the point of view of information content transfer efficiency. Regarding the speaking act, no matter is the form of the discourse, speaking or conversation, all these shapes of communication are revealed in coherent sequences, which are composed by lexical units that generate semantic structures...
In a time-critical world knowledge at the right time might decide everything. However, storing data does not correspond with understanding the knowledge it contains. Thus, solutions capable of learning problem statements and gathering knowledge from huge amounts of data, be it structured or unstructured, are required. This is where computational intelligence and the introduced approach apply: within...
The paper presents the structure of a new component for an industrial software monitoring system designed to integrate intelligent devices (smartphones and tablet PCs) into the list of compatible client devices. The proposed system is composed of two main components: the first one is a web service application that represents the interface between the database of the monitoring system and the client...
This paper presents aspects about biosignal data acquisition, applied in design of the medical measuring and recording devices. We are working on a mobile health monitoring project and the signal conditioning section will be used for ECG and EOG analog input signal recordings. This block of medical devices represents intermediate section between electrodes and analog to digital converters. The main...
Transgenetic algorithms can be used for performing a stochastic search by simulating endosymbiotic interactions between a host and a population of endosymbionts as well as information exchange between the host and endosymbionts by agents. The already introduced, computationally intelligent Data Mining system "System applying High Order Computational Intelligence in Data Mining” (SHOCID) applies...
The advances of virtualization technology in Data Centres lead to the development of features such as High Availability, Disaster Recovery and Fault Tolerance. However, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) computing clouds that span across distributed areas require even a more advanced mechanism. In this paper we present a Disaster Tolerance (DT) enablement solution that covers all layers of IaaS clouds...
Even the wireless communication is considered to offer many advantages, compared to wired communication, there are still many constraints to pass over. The domain of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has been researched for many years, designed, developed and optimized in many directions, but even so there are just a few real life implementations. One major obstacle remains the cost of such a network...
When trying to solve classification or time-series prediction problem statements by the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), commonly applied structures like feed forward or recurrent Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP) characteristically tend to come up with bad performance and accuracy. This is especially the case when dealing with manifold datasets containing numerous input (predictors)...
As a first stage task, this paper presents the study on what represents and how it is possible to ensure the indoor office comfort, which are the most important types of comfort (thermal, visual, acoustic, air quality, etc.) and how each of them could be analyzed (characterized). Few of them have a mathematical interpretation, more or less precise, which permits to make estimations. All types of comfort...
Within this elaboration a generic system, subsequently referred to as System applying High Order Computational Intelligence in Data Mining (SHOCID), applying Computational Intelligence-paradigms, methods and techniques in the field of Data Mining, is being introduced. Currently available Data Mining systems are usually targeted on particular problem statements and require the user to understand how...
This paper presents the structure of buffering application used to store measurement information in an industrial monitoring software system. The buffering application is residing on the data acquisition computers and saves the values of the monitored measures in the unfortunate case of a network failure between the acquisition and server computers. Several development options are presented (with...
