One of the major tasks in swarm intelligence is to design decentralized but homogenoeus strategies to enable controlling the behaviour of swarms of agents. It has been shown in the literature that the point of convergence and motion of a swarm of autonomous mobile agents can be controlled by using cyclic pursuit laws. In cyclic pursuit, there exists a predefined cyclic connection between agents...

This paper presents a mobile application called ICAPS (Intelligent Context Aware Profile Switching) an intelligent system that takes advantage of three common technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS) to provide the user with automated profile switching techniques depending on the user’s context. The system combines the three technologies together so that it determines the contexts around the use...

This paper proposes a fast and robust multi-people tracking algorithm for mobile platforms equipped with a RGB-D sensor. Our approach features an efficient point cloud depth-based clustering, an HOG-like classification to robustly initialize a person tracking and a person classifier with online learning to manage the person ID matching even after a full occlusion. For people detection, we make ...

The paper discusses the application of mobile agents in the management of mobile telephone (cellular) networks. We propose the use of mobile agents for collecting subscriber information, such as location area identifier and cell identifier. By using a subscriber profile containing these data the signaling messages caused by location update could be reduced. We also propose a method to improve t...

Although the conventional concept of communication is the exchange of logical information, the exchange of Kansei has become very important recently, especially in the case of mobile telephone communications. In addition, it has been recognized that the use of the body, such as facial expressions and gestures, is essential in communications. These facts indicate that technologies that can suppo...
