Mobile communication provides the medium by which maritime safety information, boat location information, weather forecasts and other services, can be disseminated to boats at sea. For a vessel in trouble, the accuracy and update rate of boat's position reporting aids rescue, thereby avoiding the loss of the boat and saving the lives of the fishermen or preventing an environmental disaster. Our work exploits the power of evolutionary algorithm and machine learning to optimize and classify the boats at sea according to their environmental conditions and mobile signal strength which helps in effective decision making in marine sector.

In this paper, we propose a cattle recognition system using wireless multimedia networks. The images are captured and transferred them to the server using Wi-Fi technology. The system performs image pre-processing on the muzzle point image of cattle to mitigate and filter the noise. The system uses support vector machine to classify the extracted feature of the muzzle images of cattle. We use a similarity score measurement for matching the muzzle points with the database. We also developed a prototype for evaluating the accuracy of the system.

The state-of-the-art navigation frequently fails to provide precise outdoor localization especially in urban areas due to GPS errors. Conventional approaches tracking vehicle positions have used the particle filter algorithm, and we focus on magnetic fingerprint features for increasing performance of the algorithm as landmarks. We investigated the magnetic features in two conditions such as in-vehicle and at an intersection. More diverse traffic environments and an effective design of the particle filter algorithm will be complemented in the future research. We expect these magnetic fingerprints significantly improve outdoor localization algorithms especially in urban area.

With the development of robotics and aeronautics, drones also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are more and more integrated and easy to control, especially in non- military context. The civil market related to this field is currently experiencing a continuous growth that highlights its potential. Many applications now make use of such devices for various purposes such as surveillance, communication, video recording or even gaming. One particular domain of application has triggered our interest: with their tradition of using state-of-the-art technology for their production, the cinema industry recently started to exploit the many possibilities offered by these modern flying vehicles. Movie companies have been using drones as a new tool to produce more and more complex and aesthetic camera shots. However, the shooting process currently rely on manual control of the drones which makes it difficult and sometimes inconvenient to work with. Having a solution to autonomously pilot the drone so that it may follow a predefined (or computed in real-time) trajectory is thus definitively useful in such situations.

Most of the existing Rule-based Complex Event Process- ing(CEP) engines process all rules in a single set which might activate irrelevant copies of partial detected events every time new data comes. Against this issue, this paper analyzes the processing time of using one single set of rules and using two-steps matching where one complex rule is partitioned and processed by two modules independently.

This paper presents a Spatio-Temporal Information Correction Mechanism for Wild Animal Wearable Sensors. It is difficult to acquire the positioning information with GPS sensors in forests region. Furthermore, electric power sources and mobile communication infrastructures are often limited, because the provision of such resources is expensive in the wild (e.g., near the ground surface of the forest) and tend to be in areas with limited number of users. In this research, we propose a method, which does not depend on the sensor and a mobile communication, for correcting the acquisition of the time and location information.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) play a vital role in enabling Intelligent Transport Services (ITS). The well known Dedicated short range communication (DSRC) requires dedicated hardware installation, which slows down the penetration of ITS. This study analyzes the capability of using Wi-Fi Direct (WD) as an alternative technology for ITS applications. To this end, A simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of WD with DSRC. Network simulator NS3 is used along with the traffic simulator named SUMO for the study. Initial results that indicate the potential of WD are presented with future extensions and goals.

Smart Phones are packed up with applications in the domain of healthcare, social networking etc and require substantial network data connectivity for operations. Network services are primarily affected by the quality of radio signals and congestion in the cell. NeSen [1][2] is a tool incorporated at the Mobile Terminal (MT) end to measure the network characteristics corresponding to link quality and stability of cellular networks. NeSen is capable of assessing both static and dynamic Network parameters of operators of all interfaces. The network parameters captured with NeSen are signal strength, radio type, Cell Location Id (CID), Location Area Code (LAC), operator name, Bit Error Rate (BER) etc. along with date and time. The values of these parameters are logged at the file systems of the MT in real time. The worth mentioning observations from the trials is "Except for single day cell dwell time is less the 10 min and often around 01 minute. Network cell transitions are observed even in milliseconds. Vertical handoffs in sufficient number are recorded". Aforementioned observation manifest that a phone gets serviced from multiple Base Stations (BS) within a space of time. This draws the attention towards the transiting behavior of Base Station.

Core temperature is important to evaluate the effect of heat environment and/or exercise on human body. Human body usually emits its heat by thermal regulation function such as sweating and increasing of skin blood flow. However, failure of the system occurs among people who are not accustomed to hot environment. This makes core temperature extremely high, leading to dehydration, anemia and serious damage to organs. Core temperature is generally measured as rectal or tympanic temperature, although their measurement is difficult due to its invasiveness. In this work, we propose a novel method to estimate core temperature based on Gagge’s two-node model [1] and a parameter calibration method which is suitable for exercise. Compared to our previous works [2, 3], advantages of this work are the followings. (1) We propose a method to estimate core temperature in complex exercise with breaks, which is out-of-scope in the previous works. (2) We improve the parameter-calibration method to suit actual exercise. We measure core temperature after warm-up for calibration. (3) We modify some equations in the model to suit real environment. Solar radiation, wind, drinking water and thermal delay are integrated into the original model.

Most medicine taker may not aware of the details of a drug's brand name and manufacturer, indications, dosage, interactions, and side effects of the medicine. In order to avoid over-prescriptions, to prevent medicinal misuse and side effects of medicine, it is necessary for medicine takers to be provided with the detailed information about the medicine. This can be achieved by personalizing the medicines using smart-devices. In this work, we proposed a personalized medicine system to provide the information about a medicine through automatic text recognition from the imprints of the medicine and transmission using smart-devices. The system is fast enough to display the associated information of the medicine in real-time.
