In this paper, we address sensor fusion for the attitude estimation of Micromechanical Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), in particular a biologically inspired robotic housefly. First, a dynamic observer is proposed which estimates attitude based on kinematic data available from different and redundant bio-inspired sensors such as halteres, ocelli, gravitometers, magnetic compass and light polarization co...

Method and system for human action detections with acceleration sensors for the proposed rescue system for disabled and elderly persons who need a help in evacuation from disaster areas is proposed. Not only vital signs, blood pressure, heart beat pulse rate, body temperature, bless and consciousness, but also, the location and attitude of the persons have to be monitored for the proposed rescu...

In the context of virtual machines live migration, two strategies called “pre-copy” and “post-copy” have already been presented; but each of these strategies works well only in some circumstances. In this paper, we have a brief presentation of QAVNS and then introduce a new approach which is based on the concept of "informational object", assigning QAVNS-scheme-revision number, and observing th...
