The SensorScope project is a collaboration between environmental scientists and hardware/software engineers at EPFL. It will consist of two large-scale outdoor sensor networking deployments, the first on the EPFL campus, and the second on an alpine glacier ...
This paper presents a study on the recognition of the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants based on their head pose. Contrarily to previous studies on the topic, in our set-up, the potential VFOA of people is not restricted to other mee ...
This review paper aims to stimulate debate regarding research needs in the domain of energy and comfort prediction, to arrive at a consensus on priorities. It is suggested that these priorities can be categorised in terms of energy fluxes to facilitate imp ...
Introduction In 1987, the need to strive towards development aimed at making it possible to satisfy the present needs without compromising the needs of future generations is generally acknowledged. The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 propagated Agenda 211, whi ...
Mobile communication, in particular mobile telephony, is a service whose nonexistence nowadays is unimaginable. The ongoing, ever increasing penetration of mobile communication equipment, presently intensified by the transition from second generation1 to t ...
We present a framework for the autonomous discovery and selection of Semantic Web services based on their QoS properties. The novelty of our approach is the wide use of semantic technologies for a customizable discovery, which enables both the service user ...
Mouse models are increasingly popular tools to study and characterize the molecular and physiological bases for human diseases. Due to the readily available genetic tools to construct mouse models of complex diseases, the flow of efficient and vigilant mou ...
The loss of biodiversity has become a matter of urgent concern and a better understanding of local drivers is crucial for conservation. Although environmental heterogeneity is recognized as an important determinant of biodiversity, this has rarely been tes ...
The management of trust and quality in decentralized systems has been recognized as a key research area over recent years. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic computational approach to enable a peer in the system to model and estimate the quality and ...
This article illustrates the methods and results of two sets of experiments in which a group of mobile robots, called s-bots, are required to physically connect to each other, that is, to self-assemble, to cope with environmental conditions that prevent th ...
