Due to the gap in understanding board leadership and specifically, board shared leadership, this article aims at proposing some antecedents of the emergence of board shared leadership. This article incorporates three bodies of literature: Team effectiveness, team leadership, and board management. Based on integrating several theoretical perspectives, nine propositions are developed in relation ...

Sensor fusion has an important role in today’s life, especially in the smart world where devices are becoming smarter. Smart devices require reliable and different types of sensory data, fusing them to obtain better information regarding their objectives. Different types of sensors are often fused to acquire information which cannot be acquired by a single sensor alone. Working with several typ...

A s the IEEE Computer Society’s President in 2018, I would like to first express sincere appreciation to the Computer Society members, volunteers, and staff, as well as the other engineers, researchers, and students all over the world who have made important contributions to CS activities. Computing technology’s role our life has become increasingly large and essential, thanks to advanced techn...

In the context of converging media technologies, the concept of mobile media embedded in wearable material was introduced. Wearable Computing, Fashionable Technology, and Smart Textile are being developed at the intersection of media, art, design, computer science, and engineering. However, in Germany, little research has been undertaken into Smart Textile in education1. Those activities are no...

This paper presents a new embedded search engine designed for smart objects. Such devices are generally equipped with extremely low RAM and large Flash storage capacity. To tackle these conflicting hardware constraints, conventional search engines privilege either insertion or query scalability but cannot meet both requirements at the same time. Moreover, very few solutions support document del...

Industrialized nations have made huge investments in civil infrastructure and attention must be given to its proper maintenance. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Damage Detection (DD) strategies have been developed by many researchers in support of efficient operation and maintenance of civil infrastructure. Smart wireless sensor networks are promising in that they have the potential to d...

DreamCam is a modular smart camera constructed with the use of an FPGA like main processing board. The core of the camera is an Altera Cyclone-III associated with a CMOS imager and six private Ram blocks. The main novel feature of our work consists in proposing a new smart camera architecture and several modules (IP) to efficiently extract and sort the visual features in real time. In this pape...

We describe a successful implementation of a theorem prover for modal logic S4 that runs on a Java smart card with only 512 KBytes of RAM and 32 KBytes of EEPROM. Since proof search in S4 can lead to infinite branches, this is “proof of principle” that non-trivial modal deduction is feasible even on current Java cards. We hope to use this prover as the basis of an on-board security manager for ...
