Cloud computing offers an exciting opportunity to bring on-demand applications to customers and is being used for delivering hosted services over the Internet and/or processing massive amount of data for business intelligence. In this tutorial, we will discuss the architecture of cloud computing, MapReduce, and Hadoop. We will then discuss how the cloud infrastructure can be used for data management services, such data cleansing, data correlation and validation, and how the massive amount of data can be processed over cloud for various business intelligence applications such as customer churn analysis, social network analysis, etc, and how the cloud can be used for ‘Active’ Data Archival for near real-time data access. We will finally discuss few applications that require cloud infrastructure for processing structured and unstructured data for business analytics.

This paper proposes a simple method for measuring the cost of explorative service composition. Based on this measurement two different solutions are proposed for Explorative Service Compositions in a stateless environment: the Eliminative Method and Two-Stage Explorative Parallel Composition. Each solution provides certain cost advantages that are dependent on the possibility of search failure of directory and access to services. Each solution is examined and compared according to their actual execution cost, cost during a failure and their potential for concurrency.

As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an increasingly important role in businesses and all kinds of industry the demand for ICT skilled workers has also increased significantly. To meet this demand young people are encouraged to study ICT and choose ICT as a career. However, ICT does not appeal to many young people due to its poor image and many employers have criticized ICT courses being out dated and irrelevant. In this paper we propose an ontological solution to organize knowledge in the domain of ICT education. The proposed ICT Education Ontology (IEO) consists of four related sub-ontologies: ICT curriculum, ICT jobs, ICT skills and ICT research. The purpose of the IEO is to provide clear definition on terms and concepts used in these four related areas within the context of ICT education.

In this paper, a vision based direction determination of a mobile robot in indoor environment is defined to detect the robot direction normal to the surrounding wall in indoor environment. For this purpose, we propose the direction determination algorithm using the Hough transformation and horizontal line search with vision information. Our proposal shows that this scheme can be used in any indoor environment where there are horizontal line structures (corner, any notice on the wall). In order to verify the proposed algorithm, we perform the experiments by the mobile robot utilizing a webcam as a vision sensor. The experimental results show that this method is verified for navigation of a mobile robot in indoor environment since its longitudinal pathway direction can be determined automatically.

Introduction of Wireless Home Automation (WHA) has become a positive inspiration to the new home and renovation projects, as it increases the quality of life and comfort of the inhabitants, simultaneously facilitating energy conservation and environmental sustainability. Generally WHA networks comprise of wireless embedded sensors and actuators that intelligently interconnect with each other through a suitable wireless architecture. Many wireless technologies have been emerged recently targeting WHA, hence selecting the optimal technology is challenging. In this article, we present an evaluation of these emerging wireless technologies and discuss their suitability for smart home networks.

Architectures for smart homes address nearly all requirements for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). The present paper discusses the missing requirements to support daily life situations of elderly people. Therefore, we introduce metrics to evaluate smart home architectures for AAL. Furthermore, we will elaborate extensions to Persona, the most advanced architecture approach of our investigation. The goal of this research is to present an architecture that meets all requirements including those which were identified as missing or have not been taken into account completely. In addition to that, the authors looked at the scalability of state-of-the-art smart home architectures to provide an architectural design that fits the needs of the mass market as well as large scale implementations.

Since the beginning of mankind, there has been a need to display knowledge in such a way that it could be easily understood. In today's highly technological world we face an overwhelming amount of information from a variety of sources, namely: business applications such as customer comments and communications, trade publications, internal research reports and competitor web sites. Most of this knowledge is stored in textual format so in order to conceptually visualize this information, we need to extract the knowledge it contains and then try to comprehend it. However, one of the characteristics of textual information is its unstructured format which is not readily assimilated and understood. This paper presents a summary of current techniques used in information visualization. We present some of the main visual text analytics systems, highlighting their techniques, in addition to providing a brief overview of visual text analytics, semantic analysis of text and ontology that could be used to facilitate the process of cognitive visualization.

This talk introduces the development of a new collaborative and distributed intelligent environment that supports collaboration among geographically dispersed people including intelligent systems. The collaborative and distributed intelligent environment merges seamlessly mixed realities in terms of physical space, document, people, physical facilities and equipment, virtual environments, collaborative control, distributed teleopreration, decision making, etc. into one shared collaborative space. This approach aims to bridge the gap between reality and virtuality beyond time and physical constraints. Such capabilities have been achieved through the design and implementation of innovative, interactive, shared, 3D multi-user collaborative and distributed intelligent environment (CoDIE). CoDIE represents an integrated approach with embedded systems that offers the capability to administer distributed environment and resources with people accessing the environment remotely and others are collocated with the physical counterpart supported by ambient intelligence techniques. The developed environment can be used as a metaphor for wide range of application domains to integrate distributed resources, supports synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, distributed teleoperation, collaborative control, and to enable people to work beyond time and physical constraints. The talk presents the concept of CoDIE and describes its four-tire architecture and the key features and functionalities associated with its development and implementation. Finally, the paper highlights briefly the development of an educational and training robot centre integrated with distributed physical and virtual facilities through the use of CoDIE.

Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is used widely since it can control non-linear system which are hard to be solved by conventional control method. The design of fuzzy logic controller (FLC), however, has some difficulties such as formation of the fuzzy rules, tuning of the scale factor and the rule explosion. The decision of fuzzy rules are not easy since the fuzzy rule is formed by the expert's experience. Finding suitable scale factor is difficult as conventional PID ones since it takes long time. As input increase, fuzzy rule increase exponentially. To overcome these problems, the information integration is used for preventing the rule explosion and fixed the fuzzy rules and scaling factor is used. we proposed Fuzzy PD Controller Tuning method by using Quantum-inspired Evolution algorithm (QEA). This proposed method also was demonstrated by control of double inverted pendulum.
