(Bozen-Bolzano University Press, 2015-02-04)In this paper we describe how simulation is used to support HVAC operational strategies within the context of the CASCADE project: a comprehensive platform that integrates Fault Detection ... -
The application of deep learning on depth from multi-array camera
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-01-02)Consumer-level multi-array cameras are a key enabling technology for next generation smartphones imaging systems. The present paper aims to analyze the accuracy of the depth estimation while using different camera combinations ... -
Application of water quality index models to an Irish estuary
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)The paper investigates the application of different Water Quality Index (WQI) models for to estuarine waters. WQI models are aggregation based mathematical models that convert extensive water quality data into a single ... -
Applying DAC Principles to the RDF Graph Data Model
(2013)In this paper we examine how Discretionary Access Control principles, that have been successfully applied to relational and XML data, can be applied to the Resource Description Framework (RDF) graph data model. The ... -
Approximate Semantic Matching of Events for the Internet of Things
(ACM, 2014-07-01)Event processing follows a decoupled model of interaction in space, time, and synchronization. However,another dimension of semantic coupling also exists and poses a challenge to the scalability of event processing systems ... -
Architecture for a Home Media Network Based on PTP-IP Connectivity Techniques
(IEEE, 2008-08-05)PTP/IP functionality is extended to enable networked devices to be organized in a sequential media processing workflow. The additional device functionality necessary to support this network architecture is not unduly complex ... -
Argumentation 3.0: how Semantic Web technologies can improve argumentation modeling in Web 2.0 environments
(2010)Argumentative discussions are common in Web 2.0 applications, but the social Web still offers limited or no explicit support for argumentation. As Web 2.0 applications become more popular, modeling argumentation happening ... -
Arrhythmia Identification from ECG Signals with a Neural Network Classifier Based on a Bayesian Framework
(2004)This paper presents an ANN-based diagnostic system for arrhythmia using Neural Network Classifier with Bayesian framework by time series biosignals. The Neural Network Classifier is built by the use of logistic regression ... -
Asistent -- a machine translation system for Slovene, Serbian and Croatian
(University of Ljubljana, 2016-09-29)The META-NET research on language technologies in 2012 showed a weak support on tools for crossing the language barrier for many European languages, including the south Slavic languages. Therefore, we describe a statistical ... -
Assessing aerodynamic performance in cycling using computational fluid dynamics
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)Aerodynamic resistance is one of the leading challenges to overcome in elite cycling. To optimize cycling aerodynamics, estimates must first be made by means of wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics or track ... -
Assessing capital investment on energy improvement projects from a global energy management perspective: a tri-generation case study
(NUI Galway, 2016)For multi-national companies, assessment of energy improvement projects across a global site-base requires a thorough understanding of the driving factors affecting energy consumption on each site. Traditionally, assessment ... -
