A model by which information technology services being delivered is resources are retrieved from the internet through web-based tools and applications, instead of direct connection to a server. The Data and software packages are stored in servers. However, cloud computing structure allows access to information as long as an electronic device has access to the web. In this technology users have ...

Pervasive computing allows data to be collected using sensors and mobile devices. Recent studies, however, show that in emergency and crisis situations conventional access control mechanisms are too rigid for information sharing. There is an increasing need to secure the information collected from the pervasive computing environments, and yet to be able to allow flexible data sharing to facilit...

Convectively-induced turbulence (CIT) is one of several threats that requires aircraft to avoid thunderstorms in order to mitigate the risk of passenger injury or aircraft damage. Current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) thunderstorm avoidance guidelines proscribe flight within 20 nautical miles of a thunderstorm, above thunderstorm tops or beneath anvils. In practice, interpretation of th...

Fuzzy time series model has been employed by many researchers in forecasting activities such as students’ enrolment, temperature fluctuations and stock prices. The existing fuzzy time series models require exact match of the fuzzy logic relationships to calculate the forecasted value. However, in real life applications, the exact match of fuzzy logic relationships is not possible. Thus, an impr...

This work presents the development of a demonstrator for testing the performance of Multisensor Data Fusion applied to Naval Target Classification; the model used for demonstration has been developed by the authors for comparing different algorithms and techniques with special attention to Fuzzy Logic influence. Although this project is not classified, some data have been modified because of th...

Marketing-oriented firms are especially concerned with modeling consumer behavior in order to improve their information and aid their decision processes on markets. For this purpose, marketing experts use complex models and apply statistical methodologies to infer conclusions from data. In the recent years, the application of machine learning has been identified as a promising approach to compl...
