Providing adapted e-health services, applications, and platforms responds to a growing need for medical institutions like hospitals or even homes [...]

Due to the dynamic change of the opportunistic network topology and the lack of stable information transmission paths between nodes, the traditional topology-based routing algorithm cannot achieve the desired routing performance. To address of this p...

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer is a practicable solution to encourage energy-constrained relay nodes to cooperate with the source to transmit information to the destination. In this paper, we study the outage performance of hybr...

Incorporating obstacle information into maneuvering target-tracking algorithms may lead to a better performance when the target when the target maneuver is caused by avoiding collision with obstacles. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-logic-based met...

A building information model (BIM) is of upmost importance with a full life-time cycle in architecture engineering and construction industry. Smart construction relies on BIM to manipulate information flow, data flow, and management flow. Currently,...

Entity linking (also called entity disambiguation) aims to map the mentions in a given document to their corresponding entities in a target knowledge base. In order to build a high-quality entity linking system, efforts are made in three parts: Encod...

Given a query shoeprint image, shoeprint retrieval aims to retrieve the most similar shoeprints available from a large set of shoeprint images. Most of the existing approaches focus on designing single low-level features to highlight the most similar...

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a significant role to alleviate the negative impacts of disasters by providing essential assistance to the rescue and evacuation operations in the affected areas. Then, the reliability of UAV connections and t...

A power-down system has an on-state, an off-state, and a finite or infinite number of intermediate states. In the off-state, the system uses no energy and in the on-state energy it is used fully. Intermediate states consume only some fraction of ener...

Recommender systems help users by recommending items, such as products and services, that can be of interest to these users. Context-aware recommender systems have been widely investigated in both academia and industry because they can make recommend...
