When designing products to fit a specific user, it is essential to know the user’s upper limb range and strength capabilities at each point of the range space. This is particularly relevant when those capabilities are atypical, e.g., in cases o...
Super apps have emerged as complex digital service ecosystems that integrate multiple heterogeneous services within a unified platform architecture. As artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities become increasingly embedded into these platforms, under...
Demand response (DR) implementations have recently found wide application areas in the context of smart grids. The effectiveness of these implementations is primarily based on the willingness of end-users to be involved in such programs. In this pape...
Low-carbon operation and reasonable carbon responsibility allocation are essential for improving source-load coordinated emission reduction in park integrated energy systems (PIESs). Existing allocation methods usually trace carbon emissions or calcu...
Despite being the most widely used authentication mechanism, password-based authentication is not very secure, being easily guessed or brute-forced. To address this, many systems which especially value security adopt Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)...
Interest in and use of 3D visualizations for analysis and communication of flooding risks has been increasing. At the same time, an ecosystem of 3D user interfaces has also been emerging. Together, they offer exciting potential opportunities for floo...
This paper proposes the utilization of large language models as recommendation systems for museum visitors. Since the aforementioned models lack the notion of context, they cannot work with temporal information that is often present in recommendation...
The existing Internet environment has been extended to the Internet of Things (IoT) as an emerging new paradigm. The IoT connects various physical entities. These entities have communication capability and deploy the observed information to various s...
