The Internet has shown its incredible potential as a unique economic enabler. The ability to build networks between people, groups, data, and things - the all-embracing Internet of the Future will in the next 10 years, generate a value exceeding USD 14.4 trillion, touching all sectors of the economy. A world linked together by the “Internet of Everything” will turn raw information into knowledge,...
Nowadays, a variety of imaging modality are employed for medical diagnosis, many of which are invasive or expose the patient to radiation in one form or another. Thermography, which uses cameras with sensitivities in the infrared to capture the temperature distribution of the human body or parts thereof, is a non-invasive, non-contact, passive, and radiation-free technique, and thus provides an interesting...
Provides an abstract for each of the keynote presentations and a brief professional biography of each presenter. The complete presentations were not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
This paper reviews the maximum efficiency technique of powering electric and hybrid vehicles using an intelligent Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) system. The need for compensation techniques followed by a mathematical model to determine circuit parameters for efficient power transfer is presented. This is followed by discussing the concept of an intelligent charging station using the concept of Internet...
The Smart Grid (SG) concept reflects the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) together with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into the electrical power grid, which enables devices to produce data regarding their energy consumption and, by that, to manage the electricity consumption and production in a smarter way. The vast amounts of data generated and processed in SG...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a considerable risk factor of driving. The pain of cardiac events distracts driver's concentration, and ischemia brought by the CVD induces incapacity of driving. In this study, a prototype of the automated safety vehicle stop system has been developed. The system collects bio-signals through the steer-sensor and recognizes the driver's posture by a camera, and detects...
The concept of ‘Smart’ has taken the world by storm. In every corner of the planet, countries are currently focusing on becoming smart in order to meet the challenges of increasing urban population and sustainable development. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) also need to be part of this endeavor. However, the challenges faced by SIDS are not comparable to those of developed and developing countries...
Domain specific languages (DSLs) offer the potential for using a small, specialized and highly expressive programming language to concisely represent solutions for a particular domain of problems. The DSL approach is in stark contrast to that of a general programming language that attempts to provide a means to represent solutions for a broad range of problems. DSLs may incorporate constructs and...
Information technology is evolving constantly while trade competition is increasing. Strategic managers are looking for improved methods to make sure their organization improves their business process in order to hold on to competitive advantage. In several cases, change management affects the profit of the organization positively and one of the ways of achieving this change is Business Process Management...
Increase in demand for broadband data services in the public safety domain is driving mobile network operators to consider different strategic options to deliver mission critical requirements. Utility service providers requiring enhanced data services for specialist applications are also being driven in a similar way. Partnering with existing commercial LTE network operators and providing these services...
Due to the ubiquitous presence of smart mobile devices, the search for an enabling technology for indoor positioning has accelerated. Different systems have been designed for applications like asset tracking, guiding and other Location Based Services (LBS). Depending on the application, the solutions use RF-, InfraRed or ultrasound technologies as communication system between the mobile nodes and...
The Spanish Renewable Energies Plan (SREP) for 2011–2020 and the European Energy Road Map are promoting the use of renewable sources as the best way to avoid the undesired global warming, and in particular, the use of Ocean Energy. Within the different types of on-shore wave-based ocean energy devices, Oscillating Water Column (OWC) converters are one of the widely used ones. An OWC device is basically...
The most known sources of the low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) can be found in electric power systems. Those systems and their power distribution parts have become the backbone of economic, technological and overall development of human society, intensely in modern-days. The actual humanity highly depends on the reliable power supply and thus a number of power distribution substations have...
Most countries in the world are working hard to make a shift towards the use of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources are ideal to narrow the energy gap between demand and availability. Monitoring energy consumption from renewable energy sources will enable effective control of the load. It is important to monitor the energy consumed from the renewable sources in order to balance the...
Silicon has been the Holy Grail of modern electronics since the invention of the Si transistor followed by the Si Integrated circuit in the 1950s. It is now the basis of terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) devices and systems which provide a viable means to combat global climate change. As such the requirement of Polysilicon has grown by orders of magnitude to tens of thousands of tonnes per annum to meet...
LabVIEW has the advantage of being able to customize a graphical user interface to produce visual results at different stages, performing signal acquisition and processing of several stages simultaneously. It has become an integral part of many laboratories as academics seek new ways to help fuse theory and practice. The purpose of this paper is to validate the results obtained from a developed LabVIEW...
