A Smart TV integrates Internet and Web features into a TV, as well convergence between computer and TV and can utilize as a computer. Smart TV devices facilitate the curation of content by combining Internet-based information with content from TV providers. Many techniques, such as those that focus on speech, gestures, and eye movement, have been used to develop various human computer interface...

RDF stores may be used to set up knowledge bases integrating heterogeneous information for web and mobile applications to use the data for new advanced services to citizens and city administrators, thus exploiting inferential capabilities, temporal and spatial reasoning, and text indexing. In this paper, the needs and constraints for RDF stores to be used for smart cities services, together wit...

Ubiquitous Computing is moving the interaction away from the human-computer paradigm and towards the creation of smart environments that users and things, from the IoT perspective, interact with. User modeling and adaptation is consistently present having the human user as a constant but pervasive interaction introduces the need for context incorporation towards context-aware smart environments...

OBJECTIVES A "smart home" is a residence wired with technology features that monitor the well-being and activities of their residents to improve overall quality of life, increase independence and prevent emergencies. This type of informatics applications targeting older adults, people with disabilities or the general population is increasingly becoming the focus of research worldwide. The aim o...

The developments of the internet things (IoT) technologies fascinated universe and provided great opportunities to introduce these innovations in smart house networks. Smart home automation is highly required days. a collection electronic devices connected monitor control market appliance remotely. However, it still needed design friendly reliable system since mainly depends on used environment...

For century, there has been no change in the fundamental structure of the electrical power grid and vehicle networks. Current hierarchical, centrally controlled grid of the electrical grid is not best for growing demand. To address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of smart grid and smarter planet are under research. The smart grid can be considered as a modern electric...

Continuous miniaturization of electronics and sensing elements stimulate the evolution of novel unobtrusively integrated smart garments that sense their environment and provide personalized assistance to its wearer. The development of smart garments requires robust integration techniques for electronics and textiles in one common system. Furthermore, recognition algorithms are needed to derive ...

Intelligent adaptive systems are sensitive to their environment, which enables them to address the complexity of modern software systems. As a result, they are able to adapt to changes in the environment autonomously. Numerous algorithms are available to provide adaptivity to the system. However, formal methods have not been widely used for specification and verification of adaptive systems. Ou...

Forecasting already plays a crucial role in the current electricity grid as a key part of planning and energy management activities. Its role will be pivotal in the envisioned smart grid, as its stakeholders are expected to interact in realtime. The amount of data to be considered e.g., from the smart meters, will sky-rocket; however consistently accurate forecasting will still be needed in ord...

Nowadays, Physical Web together with the increase in the use of mobile devices, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Social Networking Sites (SNS) have caused users to share enriched information on the Web such as their tourist experiences. Therefore, an area that has been significantly improved by using the contextual information provided by these technologies is tourism. In this way, the main...
