'K. Joost Batenburg'] While iterative reconstruction algorithms for tomography have several advantages compared to standard backprojection methods, the adoption of such algorithms in large-scale imaging facilities is still limited, one of the key obstacles being their high computational load. Although GPU-enabled…

'Santiago Vazquez-Rodriguez' 'Richard José Duro'] Human interaction environments (HIE) must be understood as any place where people carry out their daily life, including their work, family life, leisure and social life, interacting with technology to enhance or facilitate the experience. The integration of technology…

There is an increasing number of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems that are time-sensitive and resource-aware. From healthcare to building and even home/office automation, it is now common to find systems combining interactive and sensing multimedia traffic with relatively simple sensors and actuators (door locks…

Aiming for simplicity and efficiency in the domain of edge computing, DOORS is a distributed system expected to scale up to hundreds of nodes, which encapsulates application state and behavior into objects and gives them the ability to exchange asynchronous messages. DOORS offers semi-synchronous replication and the…

In this paper, we describe a distributed coordination system that allows agents to seamlessly cooperate in problem solving by partially contributing to a problem solution and delegating the subproblems for which they do not have the required skills or knowledge to appropriate agents. The coordination mechanism relies…

'Abdeltif El byed' 'Ismail Assayad'] Big graphs are part of the movement of “Not Only SQL” databases (also called NoSQL) focusing on the relationships between data, rather than the values themselves. The data is stored in vertices while the edges model the interactions or relationships between these data. They offer…

'Victor C.M. Leung' 'Zehua Wang' 'Sara Rouhani'] The data economy is based on data and information sharing and tremendously impacts society as it facilitates innovative collaborations and decision-making strategies. Nonetheless, most dataset-sharing solutions rely on a centralized authority that rules data ownership…

To be able to react adequately a smart environment must be aware of the context and its changes. Modeling the context allows applications to better understand it and to adapt to its changes. In order to do this an appropriate formal representation method is needed. Ontologies have proven themselves to be one of the…

Background Scaling up overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND), an evidence-based practice for reducing opioid overdose mortality, in communities remains a challenge. Novel models and intentional implementation strategies are needed. Drawing upon the EPIS model’s phases of Exploration, Preparation…

The increasing evolution of computing technologies has fostered the new intelligent concept of Ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp). Ubicomp environments encompass the introduction of new paradigms, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile computing, and Wearable computing, into communication networks, which demands more…

Background/Objectives: There is high-level research evidence supporting task-focused upper limb therapy models for children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). However, a knowledge gap exists in understanding how to effectively implement distributed practice approaches in clinical practice and the effect on the…

'Torsten Franz' 'Christoph Pacher' 'Reinhard F. Werner' 'Roman Schnabel'] Secret communication over public channels is one of the central pillars of a modern information society. Using quantum key distribution this is achieved without relying on the hardness of mathematical problems, which might be compromised by…

Information technology is based on data management between various sources. Software projects, as varied as simple applications or as complex as self-driving cars, are heavily reliant on the amounts, and types, of data ingested by one or more interconnected systems. Data is not only consumed but is transformed or…
