In this article we make a thorough characterization and evaluation of the solution standardized by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute for IPv6 transmission of packets over geographical location aware vehicular networks. In particular, we focus on IPv6 address auto-configuration, one of the required pieces to enable Internet connectivity from vehicles. Communications in vehicula...

The article analyses a auto-tuning method for a fuzzy PID controller based on the relay experiment. The algorithm was implemented and tested on a real plant for redox agent stabilisation in a paper mill. Experiments have discovered some unsolved, practical problems which were discussed in the paper i.e. determination of the ON-OFF parameters, the non-shocked switching from the ON-OFF tuning alg...

This paper proposes an authentication and auto-configuration mechanism for wireless LAN (WLAN) based on short message service of mobile telecommunications network. Our approach automates the authentication and WLAN configuration setup procedure without involving the users. q 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

“Climb!” is a musical composition that combines the ideas of a classical virtuoso piece and a computer game. We present a case study of the composition process and realization of “Climb!”, written for Disklavier and a digital interactive engine, which was co-developed together with the musical score. Specifically, the engine combines a system for recognising and responding to musical trigger ph...

Mobile Accessibility for Android is a combination of a suite of accessible apps and a screen reader which provide accessibility on Android devices for blind and visually impaired users. Main functionality of Android devices is made available to the user through Mobile Accessibility's voice and Braille based UI. This paper describes the process of integrating this commercial product with GPII/Cl...

We apply a simple statistical method (Derenzo & Hildebrand 1969) to estimating the completeness of quasar surveys. It requires that an area has been covered by two or more, preferably different, selection techniques. We use three suitable data sets with separate selections from: variability and UV-excess (170 quasars); objective prism and UV-excess (141 quasars); multicolour and X-ray (ROSAT, 1...

Background Food allergic patients at risk for severe reactions should carry an epinephrine auto-injector (EAI). This treatment entails a burden for them and therefore may affect their compliance. Although the burden of treatment of an EAI has previously been shown to be high in vespid allergic patients, this has not yet been studied in food allergic patients. Therefore we determined the overall...

A two-phased method for prediction in spatialtemporal domains is proposed. After an ordinary regression model is trained on spatial data, a prediction is adjusted by incorporating autoregressive modeling of residuals in time. The prediction accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated on simulated agricultural data with a significant improvement of accuracy for both linear and non-linear regres...

This paper presents an overview of proposals concerning the auto-configuration of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. We will shortly describe the solutions used in wired networks, the characteristics of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and the basic problems raised by the auto-configuration in mobile environments. We will present the existing solutions to this problem. The adaptation of mechanisms such as MobileIP ...
