Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide a convenient way to monitor the physical environment. Exploiting the context-aware capability of WSN to achieve energy conservation in intelligent buildings is an attractive direction. We therefore propose an intelligent and personalized energy-conservation system by wireless sensor networks (iPower). This system consists of some WSNs connected to a contr...

This chapter seeks to explore the development of an ambient intelligent dance space. In particular, the chapter proposes intelligent systems that use non-linear optimization as well as symbolic rule-based systems to adjust sound/music, on-stage lighting, and projected visual imagery in terms of movement and color to dynamically reflecting the dancer’s arousal state measured through physiologica...

This paper describes a modular simulation framework that can be used for testing of “intelligent” reconnaissance sensor systems in various environments, weather conditions and time of day. The simulation framework is called MSSLab (Multi-Sensor Simulation Lab) and it allows for high fidelity sensor data simulation. One objective to develop this framework is to facilitate development, testing an...

The traditional way of museum exhibition is physical exhibition, which essentially restricted by the venue, time, space, and display conditions no longer applicable to form modern exhibits. Therefore, with development a large number technologies such as information technology, wireless sensor technology image processing cultural relics also tends be more intelligent intelligent. Based on this, ...

Sensor fusion and virtual sensors have been extensively used in applications requiring the use of high-level abstract information derived from multiple sensory inputs, ranging from defence systems to intelligent environments. In this paper, we present distributed mechanisms for enabling virtual sensors in intelligent environments using service oriented sensor networks (SOSNs). A SOSN brings the...
