The International Affiliation Network of YouTube Trends
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2015-05)Online video, a ubiquitous, visual, and highly shareable medium, is well-suited to crossing geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers. Trending videos in particular, by virtue of reaching a large number of viewers in ... -
Internet of Systems (IoS) - Economic Re-equilibration Catalyzed by Internet of Things (IoT)
(2014)How will the tapestry of humanity and the ethos of civilization evolve when billions of devices and trillions of sensors with quadrillion end points can connect events in our daily lives to the world around us and monitor ... -
Line Kinematics for Whole-Arm Manipulation
(1991-01-01)A Whole-Arm Manipulator uses every surface to both sense and interact with the environment. To facilitate the analysis and control of a Whole-Arm Manipulator, line geometry is used to describe the location and trajectory ... -
Low-Cost, Passive UHF RFID Tag Antenna-Based Sensors for Pervasive Sensing Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the future, large-scale sensor deployment would enable many areas such as infrastructure condition monitoring and supply chain management. However, many of today's wireless sensor technologies are still too expensive ... -
Low-Cost, Ubiquitous RFID-Tag-Antenna-Based Sensing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-09)Radio-frequency identification (RFID) has been well established as an effective technology for track and trace applications. In this paper, we go beyond the ID in RFID, and discuss the potential for RFID tags to be used ... -
Management of supply chain: an alternative modelling technique for forecasting
(Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2007-05-23)Forecasting is a necessity almost in any operation. However, the tools of forecasting are still primitive in view of the great strides made by research and the increasing abundance of data made possible by automatic ... -
A novel communication method for semi-passive RFID based sensors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-06)This paper presents a novel communication method for semi-passive RFID based sensors. The new method uses a digitally reconfigurable UHF RFID tag antenna to modulate sensed information at an RFID tag on to the received ... -
Performance assessment of XACML authorizations for Supply Chain Traceability Web Services
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-11)Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services (WS) offer advanced flexibility and interoperability capabilities. However they imply significant performance overheads that need to be carefully considered. Supply Chain ... -
RFID diagnostics of promotion execution
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-04)Previous studies have shown that many consumer goods manufacturers believe that their promotions are not well executed in retail stores. One common concern is that in-store promotions are not synchronized with television ... -
RFID tag antenna based sensing: Does your beverage glass need a refill?
