This paper illustrates main research activities and results of the project “TETRis – TETRA Innovative Open Source Services” concerned with enabling innovative services for Smart City/Smart Territory by means of technological tools and intelligent platforms for collecting, representing, managing and exploiting data and information gathered from sensors and devices deployed in the territory. Tech...

Integrated simulation systems are important tools to decrease the damage caused by various disasters. In peacetime, it would be used for disaster-proof city planning, disaster prevention plans, and disaster response training. At the time of a disaster occurs, it will be used for real-time simulation to predict disasters. The paper describes the simulation system that has the following features:...

Focusing their attention to the most relevant information is a fundamental biological concept, which allows humans to (re-)act rapidly and safely in complex and unfamiliar environments. This principle has successfully been adopted for technical systems where sensory stimuli need to be processed in an efficient and robust way. In this paper a multi-modal attention system for smart environments i...

Activity recognition in smart environments and healthcare systems is gaining increasing interest. Several approaches are proposed to recognize activities namely intrusive and non-intrusive approaches. This paper presents a new fully non-intrusive approach for recognition of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in smart environments. Our approach treats the activity recognition process as an inform...

AirScope is a micro-scale modeling system as well as a micro-scale air quality monitoring system, which comprises as a micro-scale air quality management system. Importance of micro-scale air monitoring is rising due to the concern about environment near residential places. Traditional monitoring methods are providing overall air quality indexes. However, these methods have limited functionalit...

Smart environments represent the next evolutionary development step in building, utilities, industrial, home, shipboard, and transportation systems automation. Like any sentient organism, the smart environment relies first and foremost on sensory data from the real world. Sensory data comes from multiple sensors of different modalities in distributed locations. The smart environment needs infor...

As the nature of online gaming changes to accomodate vast, persistent virtual worlds, there is a growing need to populate them with inhabitants capable of dynamic, adaptable, fruitful interactions with players. In this paper we argue that by separately placing abstract compentencies in the agent and concrete domain knowledge in the environment, we can build simple intelligences that exhibit sop...
