mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

the intelligent transportation system (its) provides wireless and mobile communication between vehicles and infrastructure to improve the safety of transportation and make the journey more enjoyable. this system consists of many fixed and mobile nodes (vehicles, trains, vessels, air planes), wireless and wired telecommunication technologies to exchange information between mobile nodes or betwee...

In recent years, more and more people join social networks to share information with others. At the same time, the information sharing/spreading becomes far more frequent and convenient due to the wide usage of mobile devices. As a result, the messages created are very arbitrary, which may contain a lot of misinformation. Proper actions must be taken to avoid the spreading of misinformation or ...

This paper discusses a framework that supports weave social elements into mobile commerce applications. This weaving takes place through different types of social networks that identify the stakeholders taking part in completing these applications. These stakeholders are consumers, providers, and brokers and are connected to each other through relationships such as competition, referral, loyalt...

As digital games continue to be explored as solutions to educational and behavioural challenges, the need for evaluation methodologies which support both the unique nature of the format and the need for comparison with other approaches continues to increase. In this workshop paper, a range of challenges are described related specifically to the case of cultural learning using digital games, in ...

With the development of mobile social networks, the trust problem of networks attracts more and more attentions. According to the existing problems of evolution model, this paper proposes a trust evolution mechanism for mobile social networks based on Wright-Fisher. Combining the evolutionary game theory and Wright-Fisher model, we establish the trust evolution model under white noise environme...

HUANG, YUFAN. Gossip-based Information Spreading in Mobile and Social Networks. (Under the direction of Dr. Huaiyu Dai.) We study the performance of gossip-based information spreading in different network models. Our study is conducted in two major different circumstances: mobile networks and social networks. In mobile networks, we mainly study two problems: single-piece information spreading w...
