This LNCS double volume LNCS 10069-10070 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, UCAmI 2016, which includes the International Work Conference on Ambient Assisted Living (IWAAL), and the International Conference on Am-bient Intelligence for Health (AmIHEALTH), held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, in November/December 2016. The 69 full papers presented together with 40 short papers and 5 doctoral consortium papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 145 submissions. UCAmI 2016 is focused on research topics related to ambient assisted living, internet of things, smart cities, ambient intelligence for health, human-computer interaction, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and security.
In recent years, our world has experienced a profound shift and progression in available computing and knowledge sharing innovations. These emerging advancements have developed at a rapid pace, disseminating into and affecting numerous aspects of contemporary society. This has created a pivotal need for an innovative compendium encompassing the latest trends, concepts, and issues surrounding this relevant discipline area. During the past 15 years, the Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology has become recognized as one of the landmark sources of the latest knowledge and discoveries in this discipline. The Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition is a 10-v...
The ever-increasing awareness and growing focus on environmental issues such as climate change and energy use is bringing about an urgency in expanding research to provide possible solutions to these problems. Through current engineering research and emerging technologies, scientists work to combat modern environmental and ecological problems plaguing the globe. Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Engineering and Environmental Science provides emerging research on the current and forthcoming trends in engineering and environmental sciences to resolve several issues plaguing researchers such as fossil fuel emission and climate change. While highlighting these challenges, including chemical toxicity environmental responsibility, readers will learn how engineering applications can be used across disciplines to aid in reducing environmental hazards. This book is a vital resource for engineers, researchers, professors, academicians, and environmental scientists seeking current research on how engineering tools and technologies can be applied to environmental issues.
Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) is a fairly recent field that has soon yielded very interesting results, as shown by the studies published in this book, which is a reference for all those interested in developing or using this technology
The popularity of an increasing number of mobile devices, such as PDAs, laptops, smart phones, and tablet computers, has made the mobile device the central method of communication in many societies. These devices may be used as electronic wallets, social networking tools, or may serve as a person’s main access point to the World Wide Web. The Handbook of Research on Mobile Software Engineering: Design, Implementation, and Emergent Applications highlights state-of-the-art research concerning the key issues surrounding current and future challenges associated with the software engineering of mobile systems and related emergent applications. This handbook addresses gaps in the literature within the area of software engineering and the mobile computing world.
Shaping Smart for Better Cities powerfully demonstrates the range of theoretical and practical challenges, opportunities and success factors involved in successfully deploying digital technologies in cities, focusing on the importance of recognizing local context and multi-layered urban relationships in designing successful urban interventions. The first section, 'Rethinking Smart (in) Places' interrogates the smart city from a theoretical vantage point. The second part, 'Shaping Smart Places' examines various case studies critically. Hence the volume offers an intellectual resource that expands on the current literature, but also provides a pedagogical resource to universities as well as a ...
Los datos geográficos están adquiriendo cada vez más importancia, tanto social como económica. La gestión, «curación» y preservación de estos datos debe llevarse a cabo por equipos multidisciplinares compuestos tanto por geógrafos o informáticos, como por bibliotecarios. Las bibliotecas y las unidades de información pueden ejercer un papel clave en el ciclo de vida de los datos geográficos, mediante la aplicación de sus conocimientos y saber-hacer acumulado, y ejerciendo un papel dinamizador en la comunidad universitaria. Sin embargo, la oferta de servicios de información geográficos desde las bibliotecas académicas, con larga tradición en algunos países, son aún percibidos como lejanos en el contexto español. Este libro quiere mostrar a la comunidad bibliotecaria de qué forma puede entrar en la revolución de los datos geográficos, participando en su gestión y beneficiándose de su uso.
La presente obra recoge las ponencias, relatorías y algunas de las sesiones técnicas del XI Congreso de Métodos Cuantitativos, sistemas de Información Geográfica y Teledetección, celebrado en Murcia en septiembre de 2004. Aunque esta colección de trabajos es claramente temática, también refleja la rica diversidad de perspectiva e intereses surgidos en torno a la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías de la información geográfica (TIC) en el estudio del medio ambiente y en la gestión de la planificación territorial. Especial atención se dedica a las aplicaciones TIG en temas de degradación ambiental, riesgos naturales y recursos en general (usos del suelo, aguas, etc.) así como al importante papel que han de desempeñar las infraestructuras de datos espaciales y su necesaria coordinación a nivel local, regional y mundial
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI 2006, held in Szeged, Hungary in October 2006. The 28 revised full papers and 27 revised poster papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 99 submissions.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Electronic Government, EGOV 2004, held in Zaragoza, Spain in August/September 2004.
