Ambient Sensorization for the Furtherance of Sustainability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Energy efficiency is regarded as an important objective in a world of limited resources. The sustainable use of energy is necessary for the continuity of life styles that do not jeopardize the future. Nevertheless, due to poor information about the impact of human actions on the environment, it is hard to promote and warn for sustainability. This work focuses on the use of ambient intelligence as a mean to constantly revise sustainability indicators in a way they may be used for user awareness and recommendation systems within communities. The approach in this research makes use of sustainable indicators monitored through ambient sensors which enable user accountability concerning their actions inside each environment. Also, it is possible to compare the effect of user actions in the environment, enabling decision making based on such comparison factors.

Ubiquitous Sensorization for Multimodal Assessment of Driving Patterns
Sustainability issues and sustainable behaviours are becoming concerns of increasing signi cance in our society. In the case of transportation systems, it would be important to know the impact of a given driving behaviour over sustainability factors. This paper describes a system that integrates ubiquitous mobile sensors available on devices such as smartphones, intelligent wristbands and smart...
متن کاملSensorization and Intelligent Systems in Energetic Sustainable Environments
Sustainability is an important topic of discussion in our world. However, measuring sustainability and assessing behaviors is not always easy. Indeed, and in order to fulfill this goal, in this work it will be proposed a multi-agent based architecture to measure and assess sustainable indicators taken from a given environment. These evaluations will be based on past and present behaviors of the...
متن کاملSVAS3: Strain Vector Aided Sensorization of Soft Structures
Soft material structures exhibit high deformability and conformability which can be useful for many engineering applications such as robots adapting to unstructured and dynamic environments. However, the fact that they have almost infinite degrees of freedom challenges conventional sensory systems and sensorization approaches due to the difficulties in adapting to soft structure deformations. I...

متن کاملThe Spatio – Temporal Process Model
Spatio-temporal models are crucial for performing assumption and predictions for physical, environmental, space and biological science. Typical application examples include traffic monitoring, regional ozone monitoring, disease mapping and analysis of satellite data. This paper discusses the construction of a conceptual model for spatio – temporal processes based on the concepts of concurrent p...
