Thematic issue: water of the Erhai and Dianchi Lakes

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Archaeal Communities in Two Freshwater Lakes at Different Trophic Status

In either eutrophic Dianchi Lake or mesotrophic Erhai Lake, the abundance, diversity, and structure of archaeaplankton communities in spring were different from those in summer. In summer, archaeaplankton abundance generally decreased in Dianchi Lake but increased in Erhai Lake, while archaeaplankton diversity increased in both lakes. These two lakes had distinct archaeaplankton community struc...

Introduction to the thematic issue

This special issue is focussed on context awareness aspects within Smart Environments. Context awareness is one of the key features of Smart Environments, touching all layers of Ambient Intelligence from sensors and networks to Artificial Intelligence and interaction modalities. One of the questions related to Artificial Intelligence is, for example, how to appropriately represent context, or h...
