The advent and subsequent popularity of low cost, low power CMOS vision sensors enables us to integrate processing logic on the camera chip itself, thereby creating so-called smart sensors. They have an on-chip SIMD data processing array controlled by an off-chip controller. Smart sensors can execute low-level image processing routines as soon as one or more image lines are converted; they do n...

Most existing research on real-time storage have focused on the use of QoS-aware disk schedulers. However, the increasing intelligence and autonomy of modern disk drives have made fine-grained external disk scheduling difficult. As this trend continues, providing QoS-aware storage by using external disk schedulers may become infeasible in the future. The goal of this paper paper is to present a...

What is ‘intelligence’ and, for that matter, what problems might arise in building an intelligent machine? Are human brains, with their greatly expanded neocortex, the only currently-existing intelligent devices? Apart from some unconvincing computer programs, the only known intelligent devices seem to be animals: particularly birds, and especially mammals. There is, however, at least one other...

Newer mobile devices are equipped with multiple network interfaces that can be used to preemptively download multimedia content in an efficient and cost effective manner. We propose a content selection algorithm for such push-based multimedia content caching scenarios. Our approach improves cache hit rates by exploiting correlations between users who request similar content: we use this informa...

Ambient Intelligence devices are developed from Ubiquitous computing and communications and Intelligent User –friendly Interfaces. Ambient Intelligence refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. These devices provide vocal interaction with users but serve only a single-user Environment. H. 323 is a standard that specify many components, protoc...

Ambient Intelligence represents a vision of the future whereby the world will be saturated with embedded electronic devices that are sensitive and responsive to people. This technology will combine the concepts of intelligent systems with that of pervasive computing. Intelligent agents of varying capabilities will provide the foundations for many applications within this domain. As a means of a...

PAVELKOVÁ ADRIANA: Time temperature indicators as devices intelligent packaging. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 1, pp. 245–251 Food packaging is an important part of food production. Temperature is a one of crucial factor which aff ecting the quality and safety of food products during distribution, transport and storage. The one way of con...

Most substations today contain a large number of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), each of which captures and stores locally measured analogue signals, and monitors the operating status of plant items. A key issue for substation data analysis is the adequacy of our knowledge available to describe certain concepts of power system states. It may happen sometimes that these concepts cannot be...
