Social networking has turned into an integral constituent in our lives. There appears to be an imperative demand for finding and linking with others to share one's day-to-day activities. However, currently available ...

In today's world, there is a tremendous increase in the usage of sensor technology in several fields including agriculture, medicine, and weather. Sensors either in-site or remotely placed are usually deployed in the form ...

There has been tremendous interest in sharing and retrieving information through the Web. A search engine can be used to retrieve relevant web documents. However, the sheer volume of results returned often requires ...

Activity Recognition (AR) is an important research topic in pervasive computing. With the rapid increase in the use of pervasive devices, huge sensor data is generated from diverse devices on a daily basis. Analysis of the ...

The open source code base has increased enormously and hence understanding the functionality of the projects has become extremely difficult. The existing approaches of feature discovery that aim to identify functionality ...

Open source software is quite ubiquitous and caters to most common software needs developers come across. Many open source projects are considered better than their commercial equivalents as a larger pool of developers ...

Building energy awareness and providing feedback on energy use is a vital component in transforming the behavior of individuals and communities towards a more efficient use of electric power. An enormous amount of energy ...

In the current data movement, numerous efforts have been made to convert and normalize a large number of traditionally structured and unstructured data to semi-structured data (e.g., RDF, OWL). With the increasing number ...

Real-time event modeling and recognition is one of the major research areas that is yet to reach its fullest potential. In the exploration of a system to fit in the tremendous challenges posed by data growth, several big ...

Deep Learning technologies show promise for dramatic advances in fields such as image classification and speech recognition. Deep Learning (DL) is a class of Machine Learning algorithms that involves learning of multiple ...
