Nowadays most of people have smartphones which can run complex application. Some kinds of experiments need several hours to finish. Using recent mobiles capabilities, anyone can monitor instruments and equipment efficiently from anywhere. Hence, alert services can prevent users from any incidence on supervised instruments and experiments. In this paper a new monitoring mechanism is proposed for the supervision of an experiment by improving the reception of messages in any case using mobile devices. Finally, a practice case of the implemented mechanism is presented for Android mobiles.

The paper reports and demonstrates a computationally efficient method for machine fault detection in industrial turbine systems. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Savitzky-Golay smoothing filters are used for signal denoising, with a resulting noise index being developed. By comparing the noise index with a power index (also derived in the paper), obtained from the detection of transients using a spectral analysis of the rate-of-change of unit power, three operational conditions are identifiable viz. normal operation, transient operation and operation when subject to emerging machine faults. The accommodation of transient operational conditions of the unit, so as not to create excessive `false alerts', provides a valuable alternative to more traditional techniques, based on PCA for instance, that can only provide reliable information during steady-state operation. The efficacy of the proposed approaches is demonstrated through the use of experimental trials on sub-15MW gas turbines.

In today's computing environment, it is well known that the computing bottleneck is rather at the I/O peripheral levels instead of at the level of CPU and memory. The access times to fetch data from an external device such as a CD-ROM, a network drive, or even the delay of dragging a mouse pointer to a desktop icon consumes seconds of time while CPU operations take nanoseconds. In this thesis, we show how our proposed Bayesian technique can anticipate certain memory intensive programs and how it can be used to preload its contents before the user selects the actual program. We evaluate the I/O peripheral of the mouse cursor and how to leverage historic mouse data to make these predictions. We show that using such Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques results in a more productive computing environment relieving the user from waiting for a program to load.

Information and Communication Technologies have changed the way people live and work. In the education field, the ICT evolution is increasingly supporting innovative methods of learning and many universities are investing in creating their own e-Learning Environments. Besides, learners' performance still and issue, the social learning theory states that people can learn by observing the behavior of others and the outcome of those behaviors. Furthermore, the theory also mentions that other people will most likely exhibit the behavior if the outcome is positive. This research proposes a game theory based model to enhance learners' performance (in terms of rate of interaction, participation/contribution and attendance). Researchers presented a novel model (CEM) composed of three loosely-coupled components for enhancing the cooperation and communication levels between learners in e-Learning Environments (eLE). Each learner represents a player in a “game” within the eLE. The model used for setting the list of positive and negative activities, storing players' actions and evaluating players' behavior throughout the game. The performance of CEM has been evaluated based on the mean values and the ratio of positive actions taken by all groups in a particular class session.

Today the number of phones in the world are more than five billion. In the last generation of phone there are a subset called smartphone, the use of this subset is growing. These devices are more and more sophisticated, capable of measuring many parameters from environment. In order to do that this smartphone is equipped with a several sensors and by means of an application (APP) that pick up the information from each sensor, it is possible to send, share, analyze, and display the measured data. Nevertheless, people could use this data without real information on accuracy of measured parameters. Thanks to these devices in the next few years there will be the opportunity to have a big wireless sensor network. With this paper the authors try to tackle the uncertainty question related to sensors suited to smart phone or any other android devices. The main goal has been to address this new idea implementing the first application that analyze a method of calibration with the aim of evaluating the uncertainty of sensors data.

Three-dimensional models of fingerprints obtained from contactless acquisitions have the advantages of reducing the distortion present in traditional contact-based samples and the effects of dirt on the finger and the sensor surface. Moreover, they permit to use a greater area for the biometric recognition. The design and test of three-dimensional reconstruction algorithms and contactless recognition methods require the collection of large databases. Since this task can be expensive and timeconsuming, some methods in the literature deal with the generation of synthetic biometric samples. At the best of our knowledge, however, there is only a preliminary study on the computation of small areas of synthetic three-dimensional fingerprints. In this paper, we extend our previous work and describe a virtual environment for the generation of complete threedimensional fingertip shapes, which can be useful for the research community working in the field of three-dimensional fingerprint biometrics. The method is based on image processing techniques and algorithms designed for biometric recognition. We validated the realism of the simulated models by comparing them with real contactless acquisitions. Results show that the method is feasible and produces realistic three-dimensional samples which can effectively be processed by biometric recognition algorithms.

In this paper a novel, highly interactive virtual environment for molecular design using gesture recognition is presented. The system is novel in its concept as it enables the user to directly manipulate molecular structures on the screen, in 3D space, allowing the exploration and visualisation of molecular interactions at different relative conformations. By a series of gestures, the user can pick and place molecular fragments and direct bond breaking and bond creating on the screen, which ultimately leading to chemically realisable molecular structures. Rigorous computational chemistry calculations assess the stereo-chemical feasibility and the interaction between those fragments as the user manipulates those objects on the screen. Users with limited knowledge of the structure of the molecules, who want to simulate the forces required for combining and separating the molecules, can use body gestures to interact with the digital world without using peripheral devices such as a keyboard and a mouse.

Electromagnetic (EM) fields are hardly noticeable and usually unknown for the general population. This unawareness and imperceptibility can generate distrust among the public, resulting in increased concerns on exposure to the EM radiation. The solution to these problems lies in the EM emission control, taking measurements and having a proper results presentation and communication with the public. Measurements turn the EM emissions into something objective and if presented to the public in an understandable format, they can help in diminishing unawareness and helplessness about the phenomenon of the EM field. As a support for the efforts to timely inform the public about real-time and overall level of EM field in the environment, our research team has started the development of the Serbian electromagnetic field monitoring network - SEMONT, intended for remote, continuous and intelligent, 24/365, broadband monitoring of EM fields. This paper considers the work in progress related to the development and testing of the SEMONT network and its Internet portal for the presentation of measurement results and the exposure assessment of general population.

Controller design for autonomous 4-wheeled ground vehicles is performed with differential flatness theory. Using a 3-DOF nonlinear model of the vehicle's dynamics and through the application of differential flatness theory an equivalent model in linear canonical (Brunovksy) form is obtained. The processing of velocity measurements (provided by a small number of on-board sensors) through a Kalman Filter which has been redesigned in the form of a disturbance observer results in accurate identification of external disturbances affecting the vehicle's dynamic model. By including in the vehicle's controller an additional term that compensates for the estimated disturbance forces, the vehicle's motion characteristics remain unchanged.

A daily activity simulator is proposed to help the development and test of algorithms needed in ambient assisted living projects. The simulator models the activities of a single human inhabitant in a home environment. The human inhabitant, his physical and social environment and the basic interactions among them are also modeled. The sequence of activities is controlled by the dynamically changing priorities of the human actions. It is just as the real life is, where the current most important needs trigger the activities performed by a human agent. The designed simulation runs at multiple abstraction levels; the activities are simulated using main, middle and bottom level actions and can interrupt each other. In addition to the activity simulation the sensors are also defined and the real-life sensor signals are simulated as well. The simulator is already in use in the development of a measurement scheduling system. Then we plan to create two instances of an experimental home environment, one is run by the simulator and the other inhabited by real persons, and compare the generated sensor data of both for many different scenarios. We also would like to create an intelligent feedback layer over the sensors.
