Emotion awareness is becoming a key aspect in collaborative work at academia, enterprises and organizations that use collaborative group work in their activity. Due to pervasiveness of ICT's, most of collaboration can be ...

Fog-to-Cloud (F2C) is an emerging architecture intended to manage the resources continuum from far datacenters up to the near edge, putting together the cloud and fog concepts. It aims to obtain both, an efficient utilization ...

In this paper, we present a learning approach to facilitate the teaching of new board exercises to assistive robotic systems. We formulate the problem as the learning of action models using Boolean predicates, disjunctive ...

Our future is that of a mixed society of people and AI artifacts. A multitude of devices in our homes will need not only to make intelligent decisions, but they will also need to coordinate with each other to serve us well. ...

Deep networks commonly perform better than shallow ones, but allocating the proper amount of computation for each particular input sample remains an open problem. This issue is particularly challenging in sequential tasks, ...

A wide range of process systems engineering problems involve an optimisation formulation that is difficult to solve due to sources of discontinuity and non-convexity and a high number of constraints to satisfy. Differential ...

Underactuated grippers aim to simplify the control strategies for performing stable grasps due to their inherent shape adaptability. While at the beginning, the main research area was focused on developing human-like ...

In wireless mesh networks (WMNs) the meshing architecture, consisting of a grid of mesh routers, provides connectivity services to mesh client nodes. The performance and operability of WMNs largely depends on placement of ...
