Smart Sensing and Context ; First European Conference, EuroSSC 2006, Enschede, Netherlands, October 25-27, 2006, Proceedings
This volume contains the papers and posters selected for presentation at the First European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC 2006) in Enschede, The Netherlands. EuroSSC 2006 was the first conference of a series aiming at bringing together designers, engineers and researchers to explore two complementary viewpoints : – A device-centric, technology-driven view : concerning intelligent sensors, sensor networks and information processing for a new generation of networked devices and environments. – A service-centric, user-driven view: exploring architectures, techniques, and algorithms for context-aware and pro-active applications made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication, cooperating objects,and interaction technologies.
Smart Sensing and Context ; 3rd European Conference, EuroSSC 2008, Zurich, Switzerland, October 29-31, 2008. Proceedings
This book is organized in topical sections on smart objects, spatial and human context inference, context processing and quality of context, as well as context-aware interaction and case studies.
Smart Sensing and Context ; 2nd European Conference, EuroSSC 2007, Kendal, England, October 23-25, 2007, Proceedings
EuroSSC 2007 aimed to reflect two complementary viewpoints: a technology-driven viewpoint which encompasses the diversity of intelligent sensing and associated information processing and a user-driven viewpoint exploring scenarios, applications and interaction methods as they relate to smart surroundings. This year the conference received a total of 51 paper submissions. These represented contributions from 21 countries from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (69%); Asia (21%); and North America (10%). This obviously reflects the European origins of the conference.

Multimedia Services in Intelligent Environments : Advanced Tools and Methodologies
This book presents a sample of recent research results in multimedia services. Besides the introductory chapter, this book includes fourteen additional chapters. Nine of these chapters cover various aspects of data processing in multimedia services in intelligent environments, such as storage, recognition and classification, transmission, information retrieval, and information securing. Four additional chapters present multimedia services in noise and hearing monitoring and measuring, augmented reality, automated lecture rooms and rights management and licensing. Finally, the last chapter is devoted to an intelligent recommender service in scientific digital libraries.
Mobile and Wireless Communications with Practical Use-Case Scenarios
While wireless technologies had a spectacular evolution over the past years, the present trend is to adopt a global heterogeneous network of shared standards that enables the provisioning of Quality of Service and Quality of Experience to the end-user. To this end, enabling technologies like Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Digital Twins, are seen as promising solutions for next generation networks that will enable an intelligent adaptive interconnected environment with support for prediction and decision making so that the heterogeneous applications and users requirements can be highly satisfied. The aim of this textbook is to provide the readers with a comprehensive technical foundation of the mobile communication systems and wireless network design, operations and applications of various radio access technologies. Additionally, it also introduces the reader to the latest advancements in technologies in terms of Internet of Things ecosystem, Machine Learning and Digital Twins for IoT-enabled intelligent environments. Furthermore, this textbook also includes practical use-case scenarios using Altair WinProp Software as well as Phyton, TensorFlow and Jupiter as support for practice-based laboratory sessions"
Evolution of Teaching and Learning Paradigms in Intelligent Environment
This book is a fascinating window on the evolution of teaching and learning paradigms in intelligent environments. The three Australian authors include a number of chapters on issues of real relevance to today's teaching practice, including an introduction to the evolution of teaching and learning paradigms
Location- and Context-Awareness ; Vol. 3987 ; 2nd International Workshop, LoCA 2006, Dublin, Ireland, May 10-11, 2006, Proceedings
Contain the papers presented at the 2 International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness in May of 2006. As computing moves increasingly into the everyday world, the importance of location and context knowledge grows. The range of contexts encountered while sitting at a desk working on a computer is very limited compared to the large variety of situations experienced away from the desktop. For computing to be relevant and useful in these situations, the computers must have knowledge of the user’s activity, resources, state of mind, and goals, i.e., the user’s context, of which location is an important indicator. This workshop was intended to present research aimed at sensing, inferring, and using location and context data in ways that help the user.
Location- and context-awareness ; 3rd International Symposium, LoCA 2007, Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, September 20-21, 2007, Proceedings
These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 3rd International S- posium on Location- and Context-Awareness in September of 2007. Computing has become mobile, wireless, and portable. The rangeof contexts encountered while sitting at a desk working on a computer is very limited c- pared to the large variety of situations experienced away from the desktop.
