— In this article, a cognitive management framework is proposed for ensuring exploitation of the Future Internet (FI). Cognitive systems offer self-x and learning. A cognitive system has the ability to dynamically select its behavior through self-management/awareness functionality, taking into account information and knowledge on the context of the operations as well as policies and including t...

Smart materials that respond to a stimulus or their environment to produce a dynamic and reversible change in critical properties are in focus of actual research. [ 1 ] Among several stimuli, photochromism is receiving increasing attention because of its potential applications in molecular switching, lenses, and data storage among others. [ 2 ] In general, photochromic molecules can turn any co...

The composite service design modeling is an essential process of the service-oriented software development life cycle, where the candidate services, composite services, operations and their dependencies are required to be identified and specified before their design. However, a systematic service-oriented design modeling method for composite services is still in its infancy as most of the exist...

Abstract This work is part of an effort to structurally integrate self-sensing functionality into smart composite materials using embedded microsensors and local network communication nodes. Here we address the issue of data management through the development of localized processing algorithms. We demonstrate that the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a useful algorithm due to its...

Ubiquitous computing applications occupied more research areas like medicine, banking and reporting applications that require user privacy. In this paper, privacy is detected as a set of parameters encapsulated in composite data entities called privons, through which, aim at infusing privacy into precision. The proposed scheme through real interaction in implementation of privons. The work impl...

Wearable electronics used in smart clothing for healthcare monitoring or personalized identification is a new and fast-growing research topic. The challenge is that the electronics has to be simultaneously highly stretchable, mechanically robust and water-washable, which is unreachable for traditional electronics or previously reported stretchable electronics. Herein we report the wearable elec...

Abstract-Non-stationary phenomena arising in structures can be effectively controlled via smart (intelligent) materials. The corresponding mathematical problems contain controls in the coefficients of hyperbolic equations, these controls depending both on position and time. When appropriately activated, such controls may provide 100% screening of some extended parts of the structure from the in...

Image recapture detection (IRD) is to distinguish real-scene images from the recaptured ones. Being able to detect recaptured images, a single image based counter-measure for rebroadcast attack on a face authentication system becomes feasible. Being able to detect recaptured images, general object recognition can differentiate the objects on a poster from the real ones, so that robot vision is ...

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN MIND 37 brilliant student, Jonathan sailed through grade school. He completed his assignments easily and routinely earned As. Jonathan puzzled over why some of his classmates struggled, and his parents told him he had a special gift. In the seventh grade, however, Jonathan suddenly lost interest in school, refusing to do homework or study for tests. As a consequence, his gra...

A smart structure is a system containing multifunctional parts that can perform sensing, control, and actuation; it is a primitive analogue of a biological body. Smart materials are used to construct these smart structures, which can perform both sensing and actuation functions. The ‘‘I.Q.’’ of smart materials is measured in terms of their ‘‘responsiveness’’ to environmental stimuli and their ‘...
