Download or read book Ambient Intelligence written by Werner Weber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-03-04 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambient intelligence is the vision of a technology that will become invisibly embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, enabled by simple and effortless interactions, attuned to all our senses, adaptive to users and context-sensitive, and autonomous. High-quality information access and personalized content must be available to everybody, anywhere, and at any time. This book addresses ambient intelligence used to support human contacts and accompany an individual's path through the complicated modern world. From the technical standpoint, distributed electronic intelligence is addressed as hardware vanishing into the background. Devices used for ambient intelligence are small, low-power, low weight, and (very importantly) low-cost; they collaborate or interact with each other; and they are redundant and error-tolerant. This means that the failure of one device will not cause failure of the whole system. Since wired connections often do not exist, radio methods will play an important role for data transfer. This book addresses various aspects of ambient intelligence, from applications that are imminent since they use essentially existing technologies, to ambitious ideas whose realization is still far away, due to major unsolved technical challenges.

Book Multilayer Control of Networked Cyber Physical Systems

Download or read book Multilayer Control of Networked Cyber Physical Systems written by Sabato Manfredi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book faces the interdisciplinary challenge of formulating performance-assessing design approaches for networked cyber-physical systems (NCPSs). Its novel distributed multilayer cooperative control deals simultaneously with communication-network and control performance required for the network and application layers of an NCPS respectively. Practically, it distributes the computational burden among different devices, which act cooperatively to achieve NCPS goals. The approach can be applied to NCPSs based on both wired and wireless technologies and so is suitable for future network infrastructures in which different protocols and technologies coexist. The book reports realistic results from performance evaluation of the new approach, when applied in different operative scenarios. Readers of this book will benefit by: learning a general, technology-independent methodology for the design and implementation of cooperative distributed algorithms for flow control at the network layer of an NCPS that gives algorithm-parameter-tuning guidelines for assessing the desired quality of service performance; learning a general methodology for the design and implementation of consensus-based algorithms at the application layer that allows monitoring and control of distributed physical systems and gives algorithm-parameter-tuning guidelines for assessing the desired control system performance; understanding the main network simulators needed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed multilayer control approach in different realistic network operation scenarios; and practising with a cooperative multilayer control project that assesses acceptable NCPS performance in networked monitoring and robot systems, autonomous and queuing networks, and other critical human relief applications. Researchers, graduate students and practitioners working in automation, engineering, sensor networks, mobile robotics and computer networks will find this book instructive. It will also be helpful to network administrators and technicians implementing application-layer and network-layer solutions or installing, configuring or troubleshooting network and control system components of NCPSs.

  • Release : 2001-10-18
  • ISBN : 0309075688
  • Pages : 236 pages

Download or read book Embedded Everywhere written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in the miniaturization and networking of microprocessors promise a day when networked computers are embedded throughout the everyday world. However, our current understanding of what such systems would be like is insufficient to bring the promise to reality. Embedded, Everywhere explores the potential of networked systems of embedded computers and the research challenges arising from embedding computation and communications technology into a wide variety of applicationsâ€"from precision agriculture to automotive telematics to defense systems. It describes how these emerging networks operate under unique constraints not present in more traditional distributed systems, such as the Internet. It articulates how these networks will have to be dynamically adaptive and self-configuring, and how new models for approaching programming and computation are necessary. Issues relating to trustworthiness, security, safety, reliability, usability, and privacy are examined in light of the ubiquitous nature of these systems. A comprehensive, systems-oriented research agenda is presented, along with recommendations to major federal funding agencies.

Book A Reconfigurable Computing Architecture for Microsensors

Download or read book A Reconfigurable Computing Architecture for Microsensors written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Users desire microsensors that support reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (RSTA) operations. Typically, the communications bandwidth on these microsensors limits the amount of data that can be transmitted. Therefore, much of the signal processing must be performed within the aggressive size, power, and weight constraints of the microsensor. Furthermore, these microsensors need to be inexpensive and have a very small logistics tail. Low-power ASIC technology can address the performance and power issues but may not be reusable over a wide range of applications. Programmable processors (DSPs, and Microprocessors) may provide the flexibility but not necessarily the performance. A new paradigm is sought to provide low-power, high-performance, reprogrammable computing. To ensure low expense, a common and open architecture should be developed. This will allow the cost to be shared among the widest range of applications possible while allowing for technology upgrades. This paper describes the development of a computing architecture which uses a general purpose processor combined with field programmable gate array technology (FPGA) that can be used to accelerate a range of microsensor applications. We have demonstrated two orders of magnitude reduction in size, weight, and power over an existing Army Research Laboratory testbed.
