Chapter and Conference Paper
While Optical Character Recognition has become a popular tool in business and administration, its use for Assamese character recognition is still in early stages. Therefore, we have experimented with multiple ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this contribution, analysis of usefulness of selected parameters of a distributed information system, for early detection of anomalies in its operation, is considered. Use of statistical analysis, or machin...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Substantial body of work has been devoted to skin cancer recognition in high-resolution medical images. However, nowadays photos of skin lesions can be taken by mobile phones, where quality of image is reduced...
Chapter
Interoperability, on the semantic level, deals with shared understanding of data, between IoT artifacts. Positioned on top of the syntactic layer, semantic interoperability facilitates solutions to problems that ...
Chapter
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a jeopardized ecosystem in which heterogeneity is intrinsic at all levels, from physical devices to communication protocols till high-level application semantics. The absence of...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Development of next generation Internet of Things ecosystems will require bringing in (semi-)autonomic behaviors. While the research on autonomic systems has a long tradition, the question arises, are there an...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Financial revenue, in the insurance sector, is systematically rising. This growth is, primarily, related to an increasing number of sold policies. While there exists a substantial body of work focused on disco...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Nowadays, disaster “detection”, based on Twitter tweets, has become an interesting research challenge. As such it has even found its way to a Kaggle competition. In this work, we explore (and compare) multiple...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Nowadays, being fit is becoming more and more popular. This includes eating habits – with, for instance, companies offering personalized box-diets – as well as exercising. Obviously, one can go to a fitness cl...
Chapter and Conference Paper
One of “urban legends” of today’s computer science is: use of semantic technologies can become a serious performance bottleneck. It is even possible that this, widely spread, belief is one of the reasons of slow ...
Chapter
Lack of interoperability between Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, systems, and applications is one of serious problems that prevents its even more rapid adoption. As long as individual IoT platforms cannot ...
Chapter
Open interoperability delivers on the promise of enabling vendors and developers to interact and interoperate, without interfering with anyone’s ability to compete by delivering a superior product and experien...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Proliferation of smart, connected devices brings new challenges to data access and privacy control. Fine grained access control policies are typically complex, hard to maintain and tightly bound to the interna...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The INTER-IoT project aims at delivering a comprehensive solution to the problem of interoperability of Internet of Things platforms. Henceforth, semantic interoperability also has to be addressed. This should...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we show how multiple BDI agents, enhanced with temporal difference learning capabilities, learn their utility function, while they are concurrently exploring an uncertain environment. We focus on...
Chapter and Conference Paper
There exists a large body of scientific literature devoted to ontology matching, aligning, map** translating and merging. With it, comes a long list (90+) of tools that support various aspects of these opera...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Software agents are often seen as “intelligent, autonomous software components.” Interestingly, the question of efficient implementation of “intelligence” remains open. In this paper we discuss, in some detail...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recently, work has started to apply the agent-semantic infrastructure, developed within the scope of the Agents in Grid project, to the resource management needed in tsunami modeling. The original proposal was ba...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Game theory is often applied to modeling interactions of non-cooperative decision makers. Such interaction appear, among others, in the case of energy management. In this context we formulate the problem of en...
