Group recommender systems suggest items of interest to a group of people. Traditionally, group recommenders provide recommendations by aggregation the group membersâ preferences. Nowadays, there is a trend of decentralized group recommendation process th ...
Recommender systems have been increasingly adopted as personalisation services in e-commerce. They facilitate users to locate items which they would be interested in viewing or purchasing. However, most studies have emphasised on the algorithm's performanc ...
Power plants experience distinct dynamic behaviors according to the primary source of energy. Whereas thermal power plants have a slow dynamic, modern renewables such as wind and solar PV are subject to very fast variations, due to environmental factors. T ...
Multiview video has recently emerged as a means to improve user experience in novel multimedia services. We propose a new stochastic model to characterize the traffic generated by a Multiview Video Coding (MVC) variable bit-rate source. To this aim, we res ...
People in developed countries spend today most of their time inside buildings as part of the modern way of life. As a result, the building sector accounts for almost 40% of the total energy consumption and a big part of the energy bill goes to maintain the ...
A circular economy refers to an industrial economy with a cradle to cradle vision, shifting from the use of fossil fuels towards renewable energy, minimizing the use of toxic chemicals and reducing waste by recycling through careful system design. The conc ...
Our user feedback framework requires some robust techniques in order to tackle the scalability issue of schema matching network. One approach is employing crowd-sourcing/human computation models. Crowdsourcing is one of cutting-edge research areas which in ...
Diversification is a method of improving user satisfaction by increasing the variety of information shown to user. Due to the lack of a precise definition of information variety, many diversification techniques have been proposed. These techniques, however ...
Renewable energy resources, such as photovoltaic panels, typically have very volatile power-injection characteristics, which poses a number of challenges to the real-time control of electrical grids that contain a significant fraction of these resources. R ...
Adaptive streaming addresses the increasing and heterogenous demand of multimedia content over the Internet by offering several streams for each video. Each stream has a different resolution and bit rate, aimed at a specific set of users, e.g., TV, mobile ...
