Recent proliferation of mobile market has swiftly increased the competition in mobile software market, new technology and new devices are emerging at phenomenal speed. As the number of mobile applications is increasing at daily rate, quality is becoming major issue. So mobile software organization need some quality model as guideline to improve and maintain quality of application under developm...

In this paper we present Team Battle Quiz, a game that runs on publicly accessible screens and is played through the users’ mobile phones. Our aim was to provide a game open for everyone that encourages participants to discuss and play together as a team. Our first user study demonstrated that the approach has the potential to elate the anonymous crowd to get in touch with each other. It furthe...

We address the problem of optimally assigning spatially distributed tasks to a team of heterogeneous mobile agents in domains with inter-task temporal constraints, such as precedence constraints. Due to delay penalties, satisfying the temporal constraints impacts the overall team cost. We present a mathematical model of the problem, a benchmark anytime bounded optimal solution process, and an a...

The purpose of extractive summarization is to automatically select a number of indicative sentences, passages, or paragraphs from the original document according to a target summarization ratio and then sequence them to form a concise summary. In the paper, we proposed the use of probabilistic latent topical information for extractive summarization of spoken documents. Various kinds of modeling...

direct and indirect healthcare costs through reduction of the need for healthcare clinic visits or hospitalization [7,8]. Regarding mHealth, there is an international conference, “mHealth Summit”, which was renamed “the Connected Health Conference” in 2015. The 8th international conference will be held from December 11 to 14, 2016 in Washington D.C. [9]. Although the meeting will deal with vari...

A three-level functional architecture for a team of mobile robots is described in detail, including the deenition of the role assigned to each level, the main concepts involved, and the corresponding implementation for each individual robot. The architecture is oriented towards teams of fully autonomous cooperative robots, able to carry out diierent types of cooperative tasks. Complexity is red...

The overall research goal of GMD ́s RoboCup middle-size league team is to increase both, the controlled speed of mobile robots acting as a team in dynamic environments and the speed of the development process for robot control systems. Therefore, GMD started in 1998 to develop a proprietary fast robot platform and in parallel the development of the integrated Dual Dynamics Design Environment. Th...

Singing synthesis is a rising musical art form gaining popularity amongst composers and end-listeners alike. To date, this art form is largely confined to offline boundaries of the music studio, whereas a large part music is about live performances. This calls for a real-time synthesis system readily deployable for onstage applications. SERAPHIM is a wavetable synthesis system that is lightweig...

Short Message Service (SMS) messages are short messages sent from one person to another from their mobile phones. They represent a means of personal communication that is an important communicative artifact in our current digital era. As most existing studies have used private access to SMS corpora, comparative studies using the same raw SMS data have not been possible up to now. We describe ou...

This paper gives a formulation of a collaborative object search team and studies the learning, interaction and organization within this multiagent environment. Each team member is assumed to be a mobile platform equipped with an active camera that can take image of the environment and recognition algorithms that can analyze the resulted image and detect the target object within the image. The g...
