In this paper, the authors analyze and compare two airship configurations for the Elettra Twin Flyer prototype, an innovative airship concept which is remotely-controlled and intended for monitoring, surveillance, exploration and reconnaissance missions. The aim of the comparison is to determine the most appropriate solution in terms of performance, cost and maneuvering capabilities. In particu...

We briefly outline the YodaQA open domain question answering system and its initial adaptation to the Biomedical domain for the purposes of the BIOASQ challenge (question answering task 3b) on CLEF2015.

India is country having high population and great variations in the educational level, economic conditions, population densities, cultures and awareness levels. Due to these variations the immunization process is not so much successful as per expectations of the state and central governments. In some zones the significant amount of vaccines are wasted whereas some are running out of vaccines. O...

An aim of WP8 is to develop ‘objective’ components of creativity that could be used to evaluate the creativity of artificial systems and humans. Ideally, the components should form a semantic map with concepts related to the concept of creativity and related to each other. The notion ‘objective’ entails that the sematic map should be derived by objective (i.e., repeatable) methods, instead of c...

Mobile crowdsourcing applications often run in dynamic environments. Due to limited time and budget, developers of mobile crowdsourcing applications usually cannot completely test their prototypes in real world situations. We describe a data integration technique for developers to validate their design in prototype testing. Our approach constructs the intended context by combining real-time, hi...

Prototype-based rules are an interesting alternative to fuzzy and crisp logical rules, in many cases providing simpler, more accurate and more comprehensible description of the data. Such rules may be directly converted to fuzzy rules. A new algorithm for generation of prototype-based rules is introduced and a comparison with results obtained by neurofuzzy systems on a number of datasets provided.

We present a car traffic simulation prototype for complex networks, that is formed by a collection of roads and junctions. Traffic load evolution is described by a model based on fluid dynamic conservation laws, deduced from conservation of the number of cars. The model contains some additional hypothesis in order to reproduce specific car traffic features such as route based car distribution a...

Unwillingness of many people to assume responsibilities for a personal health, fitness and wellness seems to be widespread. This can be partially remedied by individualized exercise and wellness program that integrates the basic knowledge domains: lifestyle, sports and fitness, and nutrition and personal/environmental health. However, collection, management and analysis of data and metadata rel...

A challenge in innovation scholarship is how to coordinate the efforts of many minds contributing to the design of a single artifact. Much research shows that product concept representations can help coordinate design tasks, but we know little about the practices that make representations more or less effective. We used an inductive approach to examine how six teams in three industries used con...
