We introduce a new methodology, that incorporates advanced higher moments evaluation in a new approach of the Portfolio Selection problem, supported by effective Computational Intelligence models. The Portfolio Intelligence (PI) model extracts hidden patterns out of the numerous accounting data and financial statements filtering misguiding effects such as noise or fraud, offering an optimal portfolio selection method.

The ABLE-TO-INCLUDE is a European CIP project that seeks to improve the lives of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) and similar conditions. In order to be included in today's society it is becoming increasingly important to be able to use the current available technological tools. The number of apps is growing exponentially but very few are really accessible to people with IDD. Accessibility is usually a missing variable of the equation, and when present is usually directed towards user with a sensory disability, such as visual or listening impairment. This scenario derives in a social breach that excludes people with IDD from the information society. In order to palliate this situation, the ABLE-TO-INLCUDE project creates a context aware accessibility layer based in developed components that, by being integrated with existent and future ICT tools (especially with mobile apps) can improve daily tasks of people with IDD and help them interact with the information society. The integration of this accessibility layer with existent ICT tools will be demonstrated in 3 different pilots in Spain, Belgium and UK, in 3 different usage scenarios (leisure within the information society, mobility and labour integration). In this paper, we focus on the mobility pilot in Belgium. This pilot builds on the research that led to the development of the Viamigo toolkit. This is composed of apps that monitors people on the move, evaluates their position against the expected path and alerts caretakers or coaches when unexpected events occur. The benefits of such a toolkit are discussed. Vulnerable people use Viamigo. The organisations, parents and caretakers are often not very familiar with the use of technology. The design and modeling of Viamigo is therefore much depending on users expectations and acceptance of the technology. This paper will report on methods and results of the human-centered approach walked hand in hand with the development cycle. This paper also reports on interactions with the different stakeholders, the technological choices that resulted from this and the architecture that is put in place to support these choices. The Viamigo project is used as an interdisciplinary platform that brings together students from engineering, social science and occupational therapy. They contribute to the research from different perspectives and collaborate over the borders of their own study field. Finally, we discuss the future development, based on user experiences and technological opportunities.
ABLE-TO-INCLUDE是一个欧洲CIP项目,旨在改善智力或发育障碍(IDD)及类似情况患者的生活。为了融入当今社会,能够使用当前可用的技术工具变得越来越重要。应用程序的数量呈指数级增长,但真正适合IDD患者使用的却很少。可访问性通常是等式中缺失的变量,当存在时,通常是针对有视觉或听力障碍等感官障碍的用户。这种情况源于将IDD患者排除在信息社会之外的社会破坏。为了缓解这种情况,able - to - include项目创建了一个基于已开发组件的上下文感知可访问性层,通过与现有和未来的ICT工具(特别是移动应用程序)集成,可以改善IDD患者的日常工作,并帮助他们与信息社会互动。这一可访问性层与现有ICT工具的整合将在西班牙、比利时和英国的3个不同试点中进行演示,涉及3种不同的使用场景(信息社会中的休闲、流动性和劳动力整合)。本文以比利时的移动出行试点为研究对象。该试点项目建立在导致Viamigo工具包开发的研究基础之上。该系统由一些应用程序组成,这些应用程序可以监控移动中的人员,根据预期路径评估他们的位置,并在发生意外事件时提醒看护人员或教练。讨论了这种工具包的好处。弱势群体使用Viamigo。组织、家长和看护人往往不太熟悉技术的使用。因此,Viamigo的设计和建模在很大程度上取决于用户对该技术的期望和接受程度。本文将报告以人为中心的方法和结果与开发周期携手并进。本文还报告了与不同涉众的交互,由此产生的技术选择,以及支持这些选择的体系结构。Viamigo项目是一个跨学科的平台,汇集了来自工程、社会科学和职业治疗的学生。他们从不同的角度为研究做出贡献,并在各自研究领域的边界上进行合作。最后,我们基于用户体验和技术机遇讨论了未来的发展。

There is a challenge of developing computer programming visual language in the sphere of interdisciplinary research - cybernetics and philosophy, in particular, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and new area of the philosophical analysis - ≪philosophy of information≫. We consider the aspect ≪language - thinking≫ and the stages of developing interaction between a person and information environment by means of programs. We set up the problem concerning the necessity to find the ways of constructing software by nonprofessionals. We offer the efficient way to eliminate the distinction in the system ≪interface-software programming language≫ via using visual programming language as a tool for people to communicate with machine. We designate the prospects of using visual programming languages and difficulties in their creation and implementation. We conclude that developing cloud technologies opens up new opportunities to make cross-subject tools of creating and changing software functionality by people without professional qualifications in programming. It is noted that developing and using visual languages can have considerable impact on the development of nano-bio-info-cogno technologies (NBIC) as well as on the research in the field of cognitive management, artificial intelligence as modeling visual thinking and other research areas. We recommend further understanding how to use visual programming languages in social, philosophical and psychological aspects.

As much as mobile technology is enhanced and, more particularly, as much as the speed in which smart mobile devices introduced into the people's everyday lives, increases the possibilities of the usage of this technology in distance learning. New applications should definitely keep a thin balance among these technological possibilities, the widely used distance learning platforms and the pedagogical subsistence of the educational procedure. Furthermore, they must (i) support the position and make teacher's work easier, as a leader of the educational process, (ii) take into account the knowledge and creativity of the students, (iii) make a better adaptation of the educational material to the needs, goals, special interests etc. of the students. In this work, an innovative application of mobile technology in learning a foreign language - at this case Russian verbs of motion by Greek students - is presented.

This paper presents a General Variable Search heuristic, trying to discover initial, feasible solution for the Travelling Salesman Problem with Time Windows. More specifically, we provide all relevant information regarding TSP-TW, Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) and initialization methods, then we quote all related work in the direction on solving this NP-HARD problem, and at last we propose our new implementation for generating initial, feasible solution for the TSP-TW. We are thoroughly focused on the behavior of our main algorithm to different random-based or sorting-based initialization procedures of our main implemented algorithm. At last, we show experimentally that in some cases, the use of a sorting function as an initialization function in this algorithm did not work and never returned a feasible solution in some cases.

Despite the importance of acoustical diffraction (the "bending" of sound around an obstacle) in the real-world, diffraction in virtual environments and game worlds is often overlooked. Part of this stems from the fact that modeling occlusion/diffraction effects is a difficult and computationally intensive task. Inspired by our previous work that saw the development of a three-dimensional acoustical occlusion method, here we present a method that approximates acoustical occlusion/diffraction effects for dynamic and interactive two-dimensional virtual environments and games (or three-dimensional environments that can be approximated by a two-dimensional mapping). We also discuss an innovative use for the method allowing it to be incorporated into the artificial intelligence of non-player characters (e.g., enemies), allowing them to "perceive" sounds and therefore behave in a more natural, and realistic manner. Preliminary experimental results demonstrate that the method is capable of operating at interactive rates.

Modern industrial control systems must offer performance, flexibility and reliability. On the same time, they need to reach the market as early as possible and at low cost. Finally, they need to operate as embedded devices with low power budget. On top of that, the algorithms that they implement are getting even more sophisticated, advanced and demanding. To cope with all these diverse requirements, control system designers are moving with fast steps to the digital hardware design field and specifically, FPGAs, System-on-Chip architectures and productivity improving methodologies like High-Level Synthesis, which uses C/C++ as an abstract hardware description language. In this paper, using these tools, the implementation of 3 control algorithms is shown, the classical PID algorithm, a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and an Adaptive or Tuning Fuzzy Logic Controller (TFLC). The novelty of the proposed approach is that through specific coding and compiler directives, the C/C++ input descriptions are automatically implemented as advanced multicore architectures (3 most advanced of them are put to extensive experimentation and compared), which execute up to 500K algorithm iterations in less that 1 sec, taking advantage of an embedded ARM family microcontroller and common memory blocks found in the underlying FPGA implementation device. This is a substantial performance improvements and a high productivity boost, with very promising future extension capabilities.

In this work the utility of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data acquired from the SAR instrument on-board the recently launched ESA's Sentinel-1 to Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) is studied. The limitations of the currently used Automatic Identification System (AIS) for ships is presented. The use of space based SAR sensors for MDA is discussed and the recently available ESA's Sentinel1 satellite is considered in more detail. An automatic methodology for ship detection from Sentinel-1 is presented and applied in the environmentally important sea straits between Kythera and Elafonisos islands, Southern Greece. Preliminary results show that Sentinel1 has a significant role to play in MDA.

Aegean Sea is an extremely sensitive marine area anticipating a catastrophic event to occur any time now, owing both to hazardous vessel crossing its waters and the significant rise of the intensive traffic. This paper aims to present a probabilistic Bayesian model predicting the probability of a collision, contact or grounding occurrence in the Aegean Sea. The model takes into account the dynamic information of the navigation area and the prevailing weather conditions. The training of the network was performed using the data of the historical accident database of the Marine Rescue Coordination Centre, the National Meteorological Office of Greece and the Aminess database. The whole study has been run within the framework of the AMINESS project.
