A home network system (HNS) provides value-added services for home users by networking house-hold appliances and sensors. In the conventional architecture, the HNS appliances and services are tightly coupled. It is therefore difficult for users to freely choose their favorite appliances and services. In this paper, we propose a new HNS architecture that accommodates multi-vendor services by extensively using cloud technologies. The new architecture manages individual HNS operations and data as standard services within the cloud. The vendor services must go through the cloud to access the HNS. Thus, loose coupling among the HNS and services can be achieved. As a result, the proposed architecture realizes more flexible HNS beneficial for both users and vendors.

As the aging problem in Japan becomes more and more severe, there are requirements for labor and resources to take care of elders. For lightening the burden of care workers in safety confirmation of elders in daily life, systems to confirm safety of elders attract a lot of attentions in recent years. This paper reports a safety confirmation system for elders. In the proposed system, for detecting the motion of elders, the system employing Obrid-Sensor and ultrasonic sensor is reported for safety confirmation of elders in restroom. The applications of Obrid-Sensor and ultrasonic sensors ensured the motion detection with privacy protection. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by experiments.

In this work, the heterogeneous rectangular dissections that represent multi-resolution images of raster data are considered. Specifically, heterogeneous rectangular dissections are changed to triangular dissections in order to provide more effective feature extraction. We propose a method of generating triangular dissections that maintains “octgrid” properties and have developed a list structure suitable for extracting image features (ridges, valleys, etc.) from terrain maps. We propose a detailed list structure called “H12Code” and present examples of feature extraction using H12Code lists.

It has been shown that pauses, which are considered to be important for transmitting traditional skills, can easily be obtained from the movement of a worker or a player by adjusting several parameters of the similarity test. This paper quantitatively confirms the validity of the values of the parameters. By using these parameter values, pauses in tea ceremony are tried to be derived. It is shown that the movements of a body around pauses are quite similar, and may form a typical and/or fundamental movement. The fluctuation of tempo is also examined from the viewpoint of timing of beats.

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used as a low cost, noninvasive method to measure brain activity. In this paper, we experiment to measure the effects of variables and controls in a source code to the brain activity in program comprehension. The measurement results are evaluated after noise reduction and normalization to statistical analysis. As the result of the experiment, significant differences in brain activity were observed at a task that requires memorizing variables to understand a code snippet. On the other hand, no significant differences between different levels of mental arithmetic tasks were observed. We conclude that the frontal pole reflects workload to short-term memory caused by variables without affected from calculation.

Up to writing this paper, existing High Performance Computing (HPC) systems do not provide proper quality of service (QoS) controls and reliability features because of two limitations: first, standard middleware libraries such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) do not provide means for applications to specify service quality for computation and communication. Second, modern high-speed interconnects such as Infiniband, Myrinet and Quadrics are optimized for performance rather than fault-tolerance and QoS control. The Data-Centric Publish-Subscribe (DCPS) model - the core of Data Distribution Service (DDS) systems - defines standards that enable applications running on heterogeneous platforms to control various QoS policies in a net-centric system. In this paper, we present our novel model of incorporating DDS QoS and reliability controls into HPC systems. Our results show that DDS integration into HPC adds considerable overheard in terms of performance and network utilization, when the application is mainly communication.
