Context-awareness is one of the drivers of the ubiquitous computing paradigm. Well-designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key p- requisites in any context-aware system. Location is one of the primary aspects of all major context models — together with time, identity and activity. From the technical side, sensing, fusing and distributing location and other context information is as important as providing context-awareness to applications and services in pervasive systems.

The new multimedia standards (for example, MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in increasingly effective ways, contributing to the multimedia revolution and having a significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, education, and governmental domains. Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering provides an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of multimedia and ubiquitous environment including models and systems, new directions, novel applications associated with the utilization and acceptance of ubiquitous computing devices and systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Conference on Ambient Intelligence, AmI 2009, held in Salzburg, Austria, in November 2009. The 21 revised full papers and 10 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on sensing, reasoning and sensing, ambient technology, ambient assisted living, applications and studies, methods and tools and reasoning and adaption.
This book contains the best papers of the Second International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies (BIOSTEC 2009), organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information Control and Communi- tion (INSTICC), technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMB), IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS) and the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), in cooperation with AAAI and ACM SIGART. The purpose of the International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering S- tems and Technologies is to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals and informatics/compute...
Artificial Intelligence of Health-Enabled Spaces (AIoH) has made a number of revolutionary advances in clinical studies that we are aware of. Among these advances, intelligent and medical services are gaining a great deal of interest. Nowadays, AI-powered technologies are not only used in saving lives, but also in our daily life activities in diagnosing, controlling, and even tracking of COVID-19 patients. These AI-powered solutions are expected to communicate with cellular networks smoothly in the next-generation networks (5G/6G and beyond) for more effective/critical medical applications. This will open the door for other interesting research areas. This book focuses on the development and...
In this work, an intelligent human-machine interface (HMI) for human worker activity recognition in industrial environments is presented. The interface consists of components for robust and accurate 3D position estimation in workspace environments, the recognition of task-related worker activities and human-computer interaction via gestures. All components of the presented HMI are flexible with respect to applications and can be transferred to other activity recognition problems, as well.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, Pervasive 2009, held in Nara, Japan, in May 2009. The 20 revised full papers and 7 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 147 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on digital displays, navigation, at home with pervasive applications, sensors, sensors, everywhere, working together, tagging and tracking, methods and tools, and the importance of context.
Life expectancy is increasing, and we are all expected to work for longer as a result. A balance must be found between the demands of work and human capabilities, and this makes the prevention of workplace-related health problems more important than ever. Emerging technologies, such as smart textiles, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things have enabled the development of intelligent biomedical clothing and the integration of pervasive sensitive services into the environment, and together with ambient intelligence technology techniques and big data analytics, have fostered a proliferation of p-Health monitoring solutions. This book presents a collection of the most significant challenge...
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.
