Wireless Sensor Network Technologies for Information Explosion Era The amount and value of information available due to rapid spread of information technology is exploding. Typically, large enterprises have approximately a petabyte of operational data stored in hundreds of data repositories supporting thousands of applications. Data storage volumes grow in excess of 50% annually. This growth is expected to continue due to vast proliferation of existing infor- tion systems and the introduction of new data sources. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent one of the most notable examples of such new data sources. In recent few years, various types of WSNs have been deployed and the amount of ...
Human Activity and Behavior Analysis relates to the field of vision and sensor-based human action or activity and behavior analysis and recognition. The book includes a series of methodologies, surveys, relevant datasets, challenging applications, ideas, and future prospects. The book discusses topics such as action recognition, action understanding, gait analysis, gesture recognition, behavior analysis, emotion and affective computing, and related areas. This volume focuses on two main subject areas: Movement and Sensors, and Sports Activity Analysis. The editors are experts in these arenas, and the contributing authors are drawn from high-impact research groups around the world. This book will be of great interest to academics, students, and professionals working and researching in the field of human activity and behavior analysis.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, PERVASIVE 2008, held in Sydney, Australia, in May 2008. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on sensing and activity recognition, applications for mobile devices, location in pervasive systems, platforms for pervasive computing, lessons learned from displays, games and health applications, as well as privacy and security.
This book presents the best-selected research papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing (ABC 2021), during 20–22 October 2021. The book includes works related to the field of vision- and sensor-based human action or activity and behavior analysis and recognition. It covers human activity recognition (HAR), action understanding, gait analysis, gesture recognition, behavior analysis, emotion, and affective computing, and related areas. The book addresses various challenges and aspects of human activity recognition—both in sensor-based and vision-based domains. It can be considered as an excellent treasury related to the human activity and behavior computing.
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services, MobiQuitous 2021, which was held in November 2021. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 37 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions and present discussions, interaction and exchange of experiences that will designate future research efforts and directions. Topics addressed by the conference include systems, applications, social networks, middleware, networking, sensing, data management, data processing and services, all with special focus on mobile and ubiquitous computing.
Activity recognition has emerged as a challenging and high-impact research field, as over the past years smaller and more powerful sensors have been introduced in wide-spread consumer devices. Validation of techniques and algorithms requires large-scale human activity corpuses and improved methods to recognize activities and the contexts in which they occur. This book deals with the challenges of designing valid and reproducible experiments, running large-scale dataset collection campaigns, designing activity and context recognition methods that are robust and adaptive, and evaluating activity recognition systems in the real world with real users.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the international competition aimed at the evaluation and assessment of Ambient Assisted Living, EvAAL 2013, which was organized in three major events: the International Competition on Indoor Localization and Tracking for Ambient Assisted Living, which took place in Madrid, Spain, in July 2013; the International Competition on Activity Recognition for Ambient Assisted Living, which took place in Valencia, Spain, in July 2013; and the Final Workshop, which was held in Norrköping, Sweden, in September 2013. The papers included in this book describe the organization and technical aspects of the competitions and provide a complete technical description of the competing artefacts and report on the experience lessons learned by the teams during the competition.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services (MobiCASE 2013) held in Paris, France, in November 2013. The 13 full, 5 short and 9 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions, and are presented together with 3 papers from the Workshop on Near Field Communication for Mobile Applications (NFS). The conference papers are covering mobile applications development, mobile social networking, novel user experience and interfaces, mobile services and platforms such as Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS, Windows phone, Bada, mobile software engineering and mobile Web, mobile payments and M2M infrastructure, mobile services such as novel hardware add-ons, energy aware services or tools, NFC-based services, authentication services.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the international competition aimed at the evaluation and assessment of Ambient Assisted Living, EvAAL 2012, which was organized in three major events: the Second International Competition on Indoor Localization and Tracking for Ambient Assisted Living, which took place in Madrid, Spain, in July 2012, the First International Competition on Activity Recognition for Ambient Assisted Living, which took place in Valencia, Spain, in July 2012, and the Final Workshop, which was held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in September 2012. The papers included in this book describe the organization and technical aspects of the competitions, and provide a complete technical description of the competing artefacts and report on the experience lessons learned by the teams during the competition.
