IWWISS

The main objective of the IWWISS 2014 is to explore whether the underlying ideas of Web Intelligence and technologies can meet the domain of Smart Sensors to allow the development of an open information space which we call the Smart Sensing Web. The ...

An increasing popularity of smartphones affects interaction behaviors between people. The ubiquity of smartphones with embedded sensors can enable attractive sensing applications for collecting and reporting data in participatory sensing environment. ...

Recent progress of mobile devices such as smartphones enables human to leverage their perception ability as a part of sensing framework. This sensing framework, so called participatory sensing, distributes various sensing tasks (e.g., whether report, ...

The aim of this paper is to present our preliminary approach and work in progress in the design of sequence mining techniques for a new smart clock alarm. This clock alarm will ring the user at the most physiological opportune moment in a predefined ...

This paper proposes a method for determining an appropriate names of popular POIs (Point of Interests) obtained in a clustering-based social spatial data analysis. The proposed method utilizes several reverse geocoding APIs, such as Foursquare and ...

In previous works, we have proposed a Web-based sensor network system or "Field Server" for agricultural use that has a monitoring module with a Web server, a wireless communication module to the Internet, and a camera module for image monitoring. In ...

Long-term monitoring of cultivation environments and a scientific understanding of tree vigor and grape quality are needed for advanced viticultural management. Cultivation environments, such as micrometeorological data and soil moisture, should be ...

Many researches support farmers to collect physiological and environmental data automatically to increase the value of agricultural products. In the research area of a field monitoring, this paper proposes a monorail type field monitoring system for ...

The technological progress in recent years has allowed to produce sensors, on macroscopic and microscopic scales, that are now essential to ubiquitous computing. This paradigm has made the concept of smart cities a reality that is now in synchrony with ...

QoS-aware multi-granularity service composition considers fine-grained service instances as candidates for QoS optimization as well as coarse-grained ones. In this paper, we leverage the skyline technology to filter the non-interesting service instances ...

An agricultural information service platform, called FieldTouch, is being built and tested on geospatial data infrastructure and crop modeling framework. More than 100 farmers in Hokkaido, Japan, have been participating on this development and are ...

A number of recent Smart City testbeds and deployments have focused on the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm and technologies for improving the efficiency of city infrastructures. Building on this work, we have explored the use of IoT hubs as ...

A Web of Things (WoT) system is composed of physical things and virtual objects which interact together to reach a set of goals. They communicate using Web standards and protocols. Interactions are complex because numerous heterogeneous objects interact ...

According to the spread of smart devices such as smartphones and smart tablets, opportunities to communicate between them will be more increased. Though we usually use WiFi and Bluetooth, it is still burden task for end-users. Many previous techniques ...

In this research, we focus on the challenge of user-generated tests, where crowdsourcing of users have the chance of making new and innovative questions that increases the allowance for a teacher to create a new test. This approach replaces the ...

The Web of things paradigm aims to interconnect network-enabled objects using Web standards and protocols. Designing such systems raises several challenges related to the heterogeneity of things and the openness of the whole system. We propose an avatar-...

Movements synchronism is a key parameter for team sports. To determine whether human movements in rowing are synchronous or not, we developed a system that acquires signals through accelerometers and compares those signals using correlation. System ...

For WSNs, it is important to improve the accuracy of decentralized estimation and reduce energy consumption however difficult to achieve both of these goals at the same time. In this paer, a Kalman filtering approach with quantization of innovation ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in disaster monitoring because they can be equipped with infrared cameras and work both daytime and in the night. Currently, UAVs are widely available such that every household can buy an UAV and program ...

Recently, bicycle accidents have been increasing. One of the causes is poor road maintenance because of its high costs. The purpose of this study is the reduction of maintenance cost. We propose a method to detect road damage from cyclists pedaling ...

In this paper, we describe the location method for Smartphone. The method uses combination of camera and orientation sensor for reduces processing cost for smartphone, because a resource of a smartphone is low and image processing needs high processing ...

Today, it is hardly conceivable to produce new objects without digital capabilities. We can notice that the development of the ability to communicate of these new objects raises up new questions about using them or not. The UNUOC project (Usage et Non-...

Recognition of patterns and prediction of future events has become quite important in many application areas of Complex Event Processing (CEP). However, the state-of-art technologies cannot cope with the heterogeneity of event streams and employ ...

Industry involvement in the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) domain and development of internet-connected sensor networks drive research into generic context management middleware (CMM) solutions. However, no current CMM solution seems capable of addressing ...

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems are smart networks composed of multiple devices sensing or acting in the physical world. These devices interact together to provide data to value-added services or applications developed by various stakeholders. M2M ...
