Considering the importance of addressing innovation issues that impact the development of economic sectors, this document presents the research work aimed at establishing a state of the art related to technology transfer and intermediation issues, which can be adopted in the innovation systems. In this case, the agro-industrial innovation system is taken as a reference…

The SENSORIA Reference Modeling Language (SRML) aims at modelling composite services at a high level. Continuous time SRML extends SRML so that it can model services whose components can perform both discrete processes and continuous processes. In order to show how continuous time SRML is applied, in this paper, we systematically introduce our study on…

The Japanese writing system is unique due to the number of characters employed and the methods used to write words. It consists of three different ’alphabets’, which may result in the methods used to process Latin script not being sufficient to obtain satisfactory results when attempting to apply them to a recognition of the Japanese…

Serious games are at the forefront of discussions about the future of learning. Research shows that they can help improve student motivation and knowledge transfer by making learning experiences more pleasurable. Teaching practices are increasingly enhanced or complemented by serious games; skills and knowledge are developed by recreating realistic situations allowing learners to enhance their…

The ageing of oil-immersed power transformers triggers several defects and damages in the insulating materials, particularly in the cellulose insulation. The decomposition of the cellulose paper produces dissolved gases into the insulating oil, in which the Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) of the oil samples can provide insights to incipient faults sustained by the transformer as…

We propose and analyze new impedance matching schemes to enhance applied voltage to an optical modulator and light modulation for a subcarrier multiplexed light transmitter or a radio-on-fiber transmitter that carries radio-frequency signal through an optical fiber. Our proposal includes two methods using a quarter-wavelength impedance transformer and a tapered microstrip line for impedance matching…

This paper describes what can be accomplished by understanding sound environments. Understanding sound environments is achieved by extracting the features of the sound and visualizing the features. The visualization is realized by converting the three features, namely, loudness, continuity, and pitch, into RGB values and expressing the sound with color, where the color is painted…

The problem of optimal distribution of the current load of a combined heat and power plant with a complex composition of equipment is considered. A multi-criteria approach is proposed for parts of graphs with a constant load in time, considering the factors of economy, reliability and ecology. For sections of the graph with a time-variable…

It is widely known that cities now house more than half of the world’s population. Within this framework, this study presents the possibilities for real-world application of renewable energy sources (RES) in urban areas, as well as their contribution to the urban deployment of the new energy paradigm. A comparison is made between hybrid power…

As artificial intelligence (AI) develops, it is expected that humans and AI will become more closely related than now. At the same time, however, the more closely humans and AI are related to each other, the more clearly they will face a moral dilemma, i.e., artificial intelligence will face a moral dilemma. To solve the…

Navigation of a moving object (drone, vehicle, robot, and so on) and related localization in unknown scenes is nowadays a challenging subject to be addressed. Typically, different source devices, such as image sensor, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Time of Flight (TOF), or a combination of them can be used to reach this goal. Recently, due…

As mobile robots or Automated Guided Vehicles age, and their navigation components wear down, downtime may increase, and therefore robots may lose their path planning capabilities. In such blind-navigation scenarios, we assume robot(s) is programmed to undergo a default random-walk locomotion in a two-dimensional confined workspace with spatially populated obstacles. The robot(s) has only one…

Data stream gained obvious attention by research for years. Mining this type of data generates special challenges because of their unusual nature. Data streams flows are continuous, infinite and with unbounded size. Because of its accuracy, decision tree is one of the most common methods in classifying data streams. The aim of classification is to…
