Leveraging information technology to achieve the IT2000 vision: The case study of an intelligent island

IT2000: Singapore's Vision of an Intelligent Island

Singapore — an ‘ intelligent island ’ : moving from vision to reality with information technology

Information technology (IT) is increasingly becoming important not only for businesses but also for countries to remain competitive in the global economy. In Singapore, the first national IT plan was formulated in 1986 and the IT2000 vision was launched in 1992. Since then, many IT projects have been initiated to bring Singapore closer to achieving its vision of becoming an ‘intelligent island’...

Assessment of Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision-Making with Process of the Artificial Neural Networks Method to Site Selection of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (Case Study: Qeshm Island)

Wastewater treatment technology in the cyclic nature of the process that takes a long time. But man tries to rush to their needs with experience and understanding of the natural processes of interaction, and using technology to build their Industrial development is authorized. Sewage treatment reed have been born from the vision of man's increasing need to water daily decreases the natural reso...

3D Hand Motion Evaluation Using HMM

Gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. The use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. In particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. In this work, we introduce a 3-...
