As implementation chip level silicon on insulator (SOI) based on-chip ...

Intelligent rooms are responsive environments in which human activities are monitored and responses are generated to facilitate these activities. Research and development on intelligent rooms currently focuses on the integration of multiple sensor devices with pre-programmed responses to specific triggers. Developments in intelligent agents towards intrinsically motivated learning agents can be...

Modern sensing devices play a pivotal role in achieving data acquisition, communication and dissemination for the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Naturally, IoT applications and intelligent sensing systems supported by sensing devices, such as wireless sensor networks (WSN), are closely coupled. Modern intelligent sensing systems generate huge volumes of sensing data, well beyond the processing capab...

Modern smart environments are equipped with a multitude of devices and sensors aimed at intelligent services. The presence of these diverse devices has raised a major problem of managing complex environments. A rising solution to the problem is the modeling of user goals and intentions, and then interacting with the respective smart environments using user defined goals. Generally, the solution...

Consider the topic of reeection: how can a system understand its own reasoning? This has always been a central concern in the eld of Artiicial Intelligence. With the advent of software agent technologies, this topic becomes even more prominent. We claim that systems performing autonomous or semi-autonomous tasks in complex, dynamic, highly interactive environments can beneet enormously from a r...

The development of an efficient and cost-effective solution to solve a complex problem (e.g., dynamic detection of toxic gases) is an important research issue in the industrial applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). An industrial intelligent ecosystem enables the collection of massive data from the various devices (e.g., sensor-embedded wireless devices) dynamically collaborating with hu...

Wireless sensor and actuator network is the key technology of service robot intelligent space. This paper is concerned with design and implementation of a ZigBee based wireless sensor and actuator network (hereinafter referred to as ZWSAN), which has been applied in our service robot intelligent space successfully. Firstly, a simplified ZigBee stack applied to ZWSAN is proposed and the primitiv...
