This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics, ICOST 2014, held in Denver, CO, USA in June 2014.

The 21 revised full papers presented together with three keynote papers and 9 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Design and Usability, assistive and sentient environments, cognitive technology, activity recognition, context and situation awareness, Health IT and short contributions.

Weighing in from the cutting-edge frontiers of science, today's most forward-thinking minds explore the rise of "machines that think."

Stephen Hawking recently made headlines by noting, "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race." Others, conversely, have trumpeted a new age of "superintelligence" in which smart devices will exponentially extend human capacities. No longer just a matter of science-fiction fantasy (2001, Blade Runner, The Terminator, Her, etc.), it is time to seriously consider the reality of intelligent technology, many forms...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics, ICOST 2015, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 2015.

The 20 full papers and 16 short contributions included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: design and usability; assistive and sentient environments; human behavior and activities monitoring, and health IT and supportive technology. The book also contains 3 invited talks.

The goal of this book is to crystallize the emerging mobile computing technologies and trends by focusing on the most promising solutions in services computing. The book will provide clear proof that mobile technologies are playing an increasingly important and critical role in supporting toy computing. The goal of this book is to bring together academics and practitioners to describe the use and synergy between the above-mentioned technologies.

This book is intended for researchers and students working in computer science and engineering, as well as toy industry technology...

Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) are among the most important models in the area of artificial intelligence / machine learning. Since the first HSMM was introduced in 1980 for machine recognition of speech, three other HSMMs have been proposed, with various definitions of duration and observation distributions. Those models have different expressions, algorithms, computational complexities, and applicable areas, without explicitly interchangeable forms.

Hidden Semi-Markov Models: Theory, Algorithms and Applications provides a unified and foundational approach to...

Text summarization has been studied for over a half century, but traditional methods process texts empirically and neglect the fundamental characteristics and principles of language use and understanding. Automatic summarization is a desirable technique for processing big data. This reference summarizes previous text summarization approaches in a multi-dimensional category space, introduces a multi-dimensional methodology for research and development, unveils the basic characteristics and principles of language use and understanding, investigates some fundamental mechanisms of...

The field of network programming is so large, and developing so rapidly, that it can appear almost overwhelming to those new to the discipline.

Answering the need for an accessible overview of the field, this text/reference presents a manageable introduction to both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer networks and network programming. Clearly structured and easy to follow, the book describes cutting-edge developments in network architectures, communication protocols, and programming techniques and models, supported by code examples for hands-on practice with creating...

The papers in this volume are the refereed papers presented at AI-2015, the Thirty-fifth SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2015 in both the technical and the application streams.

They present new and innovative developments and applications, divided into technical stream sections on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Machine Learning and Knowledge Acquisition, and AI in Action, followed by application stream sections on Applications of Genetic Algorithms, Applications of Intelligent...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management, IC3K 2014, held in Rome, Italy, in October 2014.

The 37 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 287 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge discovery and information retrieval; knowledge engineering and ontology development; knowledge management and information sharing.
