This short text summarizes the work in biology proposed in our book, Perspectives on Organisms, where we analyse the unity proper to organisms by looking at it from different viewpoints. We discuss the theoretical roles of biological time,…
During the rapid urbanization construction of China, acquisition of urban geographic information and timely data updating are important and fundamental tasks for the refined management of cities. With the development of domestic remote…
Increased deployment of residential smart meters has made it possible to record energy consumption data on short intervals. These data, if used efficiently, carry valuable information for managing power demand and increasing energy…
Driven by the increasingly serious air pollution problem, the monitoring of air quality has gained much attention in both theoretical studies and practical implementations. In this paper, we present the architecture, implementation and…
In the age of ever increasing demand for big data and data analytics, a question of collecting the data becomes fundamental. What and how to collect the data is essential as it has direct impact on decision making, system operation and…
Understanding transportation mode from GPS (Global Positioning System) traces is an essential topic in the data mobility domain. In this paper, a framework is proposed to predict transportation modes. This framework follows a sequence of…
BWDSP is a 32bit static scalar digital signal processor with VLIW and SIMD features, which is designed for high-performance computing. Associated special instructions are designed for its special architecture and application scenarios.…
Due to the widespread adoption of the smart mobile devices, QR codes have become one of the most-known types of 2D codes around the world. However, the data capacity properties of modern QR codes are still not perfect. To address this…
The book is dedicated to the issues of information operations recognition based on analysis of information space, particularly, web-resources, social networks, and blogs. In this context, open source intelligence technology (OSINT) solves…
In the last decade, integrated logistics has become an important challenge in the development of wireless communication, identification and sensing technology, due to the growing complexity of logistics processes and the increasing demand…
Mobile computing is one of the main drivers of innovation, yet the future growth of mobile computing capabilities remains critically threatened by hardware constraints, such as the already extremely dense transistor packing and limited…
This contribution argues that the notion of time used in the scientific modeling of reality deprives time of its real nature. Difficulties from logic paradoxes to mathematical incompleteness and numerical uncertainty ensue. How can the…
RoboCup Junior is a project-oriented educational initiative that sponsors regional, national and international robotic events for young students in primary and secondary school. It leads children to the fundamentals of teamwork and complex…
In order to combine indoor greenery conservation with Internet of Things (IOT) Technologies, this paper designs an intelligent household greenhouse project with the features of comprehensive sensing, reliable transmission and intelligent…
CollecTor is developed by Tor Project's Metrics Team for the purpose of archiving data relating to the public Tor network and applications developed by Tor Project. This report distills the requirements for a prototype modernized…
Real-time monitoring of various structural behaviors, particularly displacement and acceleration, serves important and valuable information for people; for example, they can be used for active control or damage warning. With recent…
Open Source Software (OSS) history is traced to initial efforts in 1971 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab, the initial goals of OSS around Free vs. Freedom, and its evolution and impact on…
Rule-based modelling allows to represent molecular interactions in a compact and natural way. The underlying molecular dynamics, by the laws of stochastic chemical kinetics, behaves as a continuous-time Markov chain. However, this Markov…
Mind uploading speculation and debate often concludes that a procedure described as gradual in-place replacement preserves personal identity while a procedure described as destructive scan-and-copy produces some other identity in the target…
What if someone built a "box" that applies quantum superposition not just to quantum bits in the microscopic but also to macroscopic everyday "objects", such as Schr\"odinger's cat or a human being? If that were possible, and if the…
