The development of protocols for mobile networks, especially for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), presents great challenges in terms of testing in real conditions. Using a production network for testing communication protocols may not be feasible,...
Urbanization is a challenge faced by most countries worldwide and leads to several problems. Due to rapid communication capabilities, conforming the megacities into Ubiquitous cities (U-cities) seems to be a potential solution to mitigate the problem...
With the rapid popularity of mobile devices (MDs), mobile edge computing (MEC) networks and wireless power transmission (WPT) will receive more attention. Naturally, by integrating these two technologies, the inherent energy consumption during task e...
This paper presents an integrated model for seismic events detection in Colombia using machine learning techniques. Machine learning is used to identify P-wave windows in historic records and hence detect seismic events. The proposed model has five m...
The transformations in educational environments due to the immersion of information and communication technologies (ICT) make it necessary to analyze the limits and possibilities of the assessment of the virtual training process. This paper presents...
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease all over the world and it is a major cause of renal failure. IgAN prediction in children with machine learning algorithms has been rarely studied. We retrospectively an...
COVID-19 (Corona-Virus Disease 2019) in Italy and the measures that were adopted to contain its diffusion had a strong impact on people’s quality of life and mental health. The objective of the study was to quantify the psychological impact of...
With continuous development of artificial intelligence, text classification has gradually changed from a knowledge-based method to a method based on statistics and machine learning. Among them, it is a very important and efficient way to classify tex...
The communication network is growing with some unique characteristics, such as consumers repeatedly request the same content to the server, similarity in local demand trend, and dynamic changes to requests within a specific period. Therefore, a diffe...
The advent and incorporation of technology in businesses have reformed operations across industries. Notably, major technical shifts in e-commerce aim to influence customer behavior in favor of some products and brands. Artificial intelligence (AI) c...
Since the introduction of Bitcoin, the term “blockchain” has attracted many start-ups and companies over the years, especially in the financial sector. However, technology is evolving faster than standardization frameworks. This left the...
The success of all industries relates to attaining the satisfaction to clients with a high level of services and productivity. The success main factor depends on the extent of maintaining their equipment. To date, the Rwandan hospitals that always ha...
High Throughput Satellite (HTS) systems aim to push data rates to the order of Terabit/s, making use of Extremely High Frequencies (EHF) or free-space optical (FSO) in the feeder links. However, one challenge that needs to be addressed is that the us...
In recent decades, electronic books have revolutionized the publishing world. In this sense, an area of application is education, where electronic books can be used as educational resources to implement learning strategies about content and in eLearn...
Web service composition is the process of combining and reusing existing web services to create new business processes to satisfy specific user requirements. Reliability plays an important role in ensuring the quality of web service composition. Howe...
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an important role in the current educational panorama. Their presence in educational centers has increased in the last decade due to the constant development of educational policies focused on the...
The dazzling success of neural networks over natural language processing systems is imposing an urgent need to control their behavior with simpler, more direct declarative rules. In this paper, we propose Pat-in-the-Loop as a model to control a speci...
The emergence of a large number of new malicious code poses a serious threat to network security, and most of them are derivative versions of existing malicious code. The classification of malicious code is helpful to analyze the evolutionary trend o...
Pokémon Go is one of the most successful mobile games of all time. Millions played and still play this mobile augmented reality (AR) application, although severe privacy issues are pervasive in the app due to its use of several sensors such as locati...
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology will significantly enhance the information perception ability of drivers and assist them in optimizing car-following behavior. Utilizing V2X technology, drivers could obtain motion state information of the front...
One of the developmental directions of Future Internet technologies is the implementation of artificial intelligence systems for manipulating data and the surrounding world in a more complex way. Rule-based systems, very accessible for people’s...
The aim of the article is to propose a conceptual framework, constructs, and conjectures to act as a guide for future, related research finalized to design and implement versions of Artificial Intelligence encompassing an artificially simulated uncon...
The smart home has begun playing an important role in supporting independent living by monitoring the activities of daily living, typically for the elderly who live alone. Activity recognition in smart homes has been studied by many researchers with...
Recently, the pretraining of models has been successfully applied to unsupervised and semi-supervised neural machine translation. A cross-lingual language model uses a pretrained masked language model to initialize the encoder and decoder of the tran...
This paper presents a long-term study on how the public engage with discussions around citizen science and crowdsourcing topics. With progress in sensor technologies and IoT, our cities and neighbourhoods are increasingly sensed, measured and observe...
Social media are getting more and more ingrained into everybody’s lives. With people’s more substantial presence on social media, threat actors exploit the platforms and the information that people share there to deploy and execute variou...
It is of great significance for enterprises’ development to effectively use mobile Internet to carry out information feed advertising. This paper aims to study the influence factors and effect of the users’ acceptance intention of informa...
Nowadays, there are a lot of new mobile devices that have the potential to assist healthcare professionals when working and help to increase the well-being of the people. These devices comprise the Internet of Medical Things, but it is generally diff...
