Sensor observations are usually offered in relation to a specific purpose, e.g., for reporting fine dust emissions, following strict procedures, and spatio-temporal scales. Consequently, the huge amount of data gathered by today’s public and private sensor networks is most often not reused outside of its initial creation context. Fostering the reusability of observations and derived application...

in recent years due to improvements of technology within automobile industry, design process of advanced driver assistance systems for collision avoidance and traffic management has been investigated in both academics and industrial levels. detection of traffic signs is an effective method to reach the mentioned aims. in this paper a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sig...

The paper provides a vision of future intelligent environments from a design perspective. Existing ideas about ubiquitous computing and related research methods are considered. I discuss the expressive potential of design in shaping meaningful relationships between users and environments, and the challenges to effectively involve designers in the HCI research community.

Subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) of generators caused by high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems can be solved by applying supplemental subsynchronous damping controller (SSDC). SSDC application in mitigating SSO of single-generator systems has been studied intensively. This paper focuses on SSDC application in mitigating SSO of multi-generator systems. The phase relationship of the speed si...

This paper presents a novel method for recognizing partially occluded objects. The proposed method uses corner points and their spatial relationship perceived through the application of Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR) [5] by considering three successive corner points at a time. The perceived TSR among corner points are used to create a model object-base using B-tree, an efficient multilev...

User Centred Design (UCD) is today a widely accepted philosophy in systems development. UCD stresses the importance of involving and consulting users throughout the design and development of a system; it puts users and their tasks at the centre of the process. The phases of UCD are not universal and there any many interpretations of how UCD might be applied. Despite the wide acceptance of UCD a...

In 2010, the Navy formally added the Damage Control Trainer (DCT) to the recruit training program at Great Lakes, Illinois. Despite the incredibly dense training schedule at the Navy’s boot camp, the instructors were willing to set aside two hours of time for recruits to play a game. Why? Because it worked. Even with just one hour of play, research showed that recruits gained a 50-80% improveme...
