Potential worldwide deployment of WSNs for, e.g., environmental monitoring purposes could yield data in amounts of petabytes each year. Thus, in addition to the highly interesting technical challenges related to WSNs themselves, their widespread deployment would also require development of solutions for analyzing the potentially huge amounts of data they would generate. The contribution of this...

This paper deals with the stabilization of TakagiSugeno fuzzy models. Using non-quadratic Lyapunov function, new sufficient stabilization criteria with PDC controller are established in terms of Linear Matrix Inequality. Finally, a stabilization condition for uncertain system is given.

In a ubiquitous computing environment of sensor networks, monitoring the frequent contexts of a user occurred by those sensors is very important to provide a proactive service to the user. Such frequent contexts of the sensors can be recognized by associations between the set of sensor values and a set of actuator operations. This paper proposes a method of generating a new type of an associati...

This paper provides an annotated bibliography of multiple objective combinatorial optimization, MOCO. We present a general formulation of MOCO problems, describe the main characteristics of MOCO problems, and review the main properties and theoretical results for these problems. One section is devoted to a brief description of the available solution methodology, both exact and heuristic. The ma...

The lay view of a robot is a mechanical human, and thus robotics has always been inspired by attempts to emulate biology. In this Chapter, we extend this biological motivation from humans to animals more generally, but with a focus on the central nervous systems rather than the bodies of these creatures. In particular, we investigate the sensorimotor loop in the execution of sophisticated behav...

Cluster-based structure is not a new research topic but it still challenges the scientists. In wireless sensor network, cluster-based is one of important approaches to achieve effective network performance such as energy saving, throughput maximizing, end-to-end delay and maintenance cost decreasing, etc. In this paper, we propose a clustering scheme which utilizes the geographical information ...
