An interrogative visualization environment is described for the interactive display and querying of large datasets. The environment combines a web-based intelligent agent facility with a visualization engine. The intelligent agent facility (IAF) incorporates a rule-based expert system for natural-language understanding, voice and text input facilities, a hierarchical clickable command list, an ...

This paper presents a cooperative architecture for M2M system security to enable M2M nodes to interface with intelligent devices sensing realworld conditions and control physical devices. We also present performance results of our cooperative architecture that shows that our security scheme is capable of reliably handling concurrent events generated by different types of M2M devices to achieve ...

Advances in the technologies of networking, wireless communication and trimness of computers lead to the rapid development in mobile communication infrastructure, and have drastically changed information processing on mobile devices. Users carrying portable devices can freely move around, while still connected to the network. This provides flexibility in accessing information anywhere at any ti...

Recently, advancements of the wireless communication and micro electronic technologies enable the inter-connection between devices and automatic operations within the home areas. Additionally, sensing physical information based on the wireless sensor device helps more intelligent services to incorporate the ubiquitous paradigm into the home networks. In this paper, we address the new smart devi...

Intelligent devices are quickly becoming necessities to support our activities during both work and play. We are already bound in a symbiotic relationship with these devices. An unfortunate effect of the pervasiveness of intelligent devices is the substantial investment of our time and effort to communicate intent. Even though our increasing reliance on these intelligent devices is inevitable, ...

Pervasive computing envisions implicit interaction between people and their intelligent environments instead of individual devices, inevitably leading to groups of individuals interacting with the same intelligent environment. These environments must therefore be aware not only of user contexts and activities, but the contexts and activities of groups of users as well. This poster will demonstr...

Since mobile and internet penetration is highly increasing all over the world and these technological advancements of mobile devices are changing every time, most of people are using their mobile devices for their day to day transactions, business etc., and access services from the internet. Today, lot of search engines are available, these search engines will dump information abundantly. Peopl...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are being developed all around us and used for a growing number of applications. At the same time Ambient Intelligence is an upcoming branch on the IT-tree, demanding quick and easy connection of mobile devices into the network and constant access to all data on all devices in that network for all users. Peer-to-peer technology seems the perfect basis for a Ambient I...
