Social networks play a significant role in changing consumer behaviour. However, only a few energy monitoring system manufacturers have taken advantage of this opportunity. This paper provides a review of recent empirical literature on energy and water consumption. While Eastern Asian countries, China in particular, are leaders in deploying smart meters, the majority of studies in this field (82%)...
The current emergency services are mostly using old-fashioned generic voice-based technologies. Hence, proliferating smart and powerful end-user devices, which are quasi-permanently connected to the Internet is still weakly considered. Given that fact, we design and develop YouSOS, a framework extending the usability of conventional SOS services. YouSOS is built in a way that centralizes rescue operations'...
User-Centric work Space (UCS) service enables a personalized (user-centric) work space for a user by orchestrating local and/or remote IT resources. Instances of IT resources include file, printer, monitor, keyboards. With UCS service, a user can have his personalized and secure work environment at anywhere and anytime by storing and processing his data in secure manner without any interference from...
The purpose of our research is to develop and implement the methods and tools for the organization and functioning of the intelligent computer-based learning environments.
Being a trending topic on natural language processing, emotion recognition still demands research to meet the end user satisfaction. This paper presents a foundation work to detect emotions at word-level. The texts used are all related to recent Nepal catastrophe. In this partial work, we reported the collection process for the event related corpus of short-messages produced during Nepal catastrophe...
In many real-world applications there is a need to monitor the distribution of a population across different classes, and to track changes in this distribution over time. As an example, an important task is to monitor the percentage of unemployed adults in a given region. When the membership of an individual in a class cannot be established deterministically, a typical solution is the classification...
In the age of the Internet of Things, use of Smartwatch devices in the enterprise is evolving rapidly and many companies are exploring, adopting and researching the use of these devices in the Enterprise IT (Information Technology). The biggest challenge presented to an organization is understanding how to integrate these devices with the back end systems, building the data correlation and analytics...
While the advent of big data technologies has raised challenges in the data management landscape but it has also created new opportunities for acquiring and harnessing data to its greater potential. Marketing has gone beyond traditional means. Digital channels including social media and blogs have become persuasive to an extent that they are not only seen as a means of entertainment and networking...
Providers (SP) are wishing to increase their Return of Investment (ROI) by utilizing the data assets generated by tracking subscriber behaviors. This results in the ability of applying personalized policies, monitoring and controlling the service traffic to subscribers and gaining more revenues through the usage of subscriber data with ad networks. In this paper, a framework is developed to monitor...
Wearable devices with a wide range of sensors have contributed to the rise of the Quantified Self movement, where individuals log everything ranging from the number of steps they have taken, to their heart rate, to their sleeping patterns. Sensors do not, however, typically sense the social and ambient environment of the users, such as general life style attributes or information about their social...
This paper aims to develop consulting services using telephone. Consultation mechanisms conduct questions and answers by using interactive voice response (IVR) based on expert system approach. A decision tree model is selected to represent the knowledge base of expert system, because it is possible to provide such scenario of interaction. This representation illustrates a multilevel structure, from...
Cobit 4.1 defines a number of IT processes; each of which consists of several activities. A process is controlled by several control objectives. All processes share the same maturity attributes. Cobit 4.1 however does not define any assessment method to determine the maturity of IT processes. This paper reviews current assessment methods and identifies their drawbacks. This paper then proposes an...

The analysis based upon the database of European Communication Monitor (ECM)1 2007–2015 which is the largest study on strategic communication worldwide. The paper focuses on the development of communication channels, online communication...
The increasing trend towards delegating complex tasks to artificial agents in safety-critical socio-technical systems makes its performance monitoring of vital importance. In this work a probabilistic approach to online monitoring is proposed on the basis of optimal action selection and Twin Gaussian processes (TGP). A metric built upon the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance is used to compute the difference...
In this paper are presented the progress made in the draft research developed at the University Catholic of Salta, called "Telemetry of seismic events" which aims provide the capital city of Salta a seismic monitoring network continuous. In this case focuses on studying the physical and logics topologies more convenient to implement, as well as the method of media access that best suits...
In recent years, social media has revolutionized citizen science activities. Given its popularity among people and communities, these social media services could be used effectively for environmental surveillance. However in social media, people use different terms to refer to same event for example, Blue Green Algae, Cyan bacteria, Algae Bloom and Red Tide refer to same event but one is very technical...
Insufficient data visualization in current social media tools is hampering opportunities to make effective meaning and take decisive action from social data. This paper presents the technical architecture of a prototype tool for Social Business Intelligence (SBI) under development. Adopting an Action Design Research approach, the goal of the 'Social Newsroom' is to provide practitioners with user...
