Latency-sensitive applications like virtualized telecom and industrial IoT systems require a service for ultrafast state externalization to become cloud-native. In this paper we propose a distributed shared memory system, called DAL, which achieves the lowest possible latency by transparently co-locating individual data items with applications working on them. Upon changes in data access patter...

{ This paper presents a sensor based docking strategy for a non holonomic mobile platform used to support material transportation operations in industrial like environments. A low cost in-frared sensor system was designed and implemented, aiming at locating the mobile platform relative to the docking station where passive reeectors are installed. With this information, trajectories are generate...

This paper introduces a novel reasoning methodology, in combination with appropriate models and measurements (data) to perform accurately and expeditiously expert troubleshooting for complex military and industrial processes. This automated troubleshooting tool is designed to support the maintainer/ repairman by identifying and locating faulty system components. The enabling technologies build ...

An organization's success is highly dependent on its ability to cooperate, both within the organization and with other organizations. This is especially true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Yet cooperation – internal or external – does not always succeed, and the reasons for failures or shortcomings are not always obvious. In this paper, an industrial case study involving Co-MAP,...

the emergency medical centers are very helpful since they reduce the number of death and injuries by getting to the scenes of accidents and dealing with the case immediately. as saving one's life is the prime goal in these centers, any findings and techniques which will improve the services and ease achieving the goal will be highly welcomed. the first and the major factor in giving this kind o...

The arrival of new devices and techniques has brought tracking out of the investigational stage and into the wider world. Using Wi-Fi signals is an attractive and reasonably affordable option to deal with the currently unsolved problem of widespread tracking in an indoor environment. Here we present a system which aims at overcoming weaknesses in existing Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) by us...

This paper presents an intelligent multi-agent system aimed at improving healthcare and assistance to elderly and dependent people in geriatric residences and their homes. The system is based on the PANGEA and HERA platforms and integrates a set of autonomous reactive and deliberative agents designed to support the carers’ activities and to guarantee that the patients are given the right care. ...
