Cloud-based mobile asset management solution

This paper presents an application based on the the cloud-based S4I platform [1], which is called Mobile Asset Management System (MAMS). The application is able to monitor and control mobile assets anywhere in the world with a PC and Internet connection. It is integrated in the Application Layer of the S4I platform. MAMS is a mobile asset management solution dedicated to locating and monitoring commercial fleets. The implementation of the MAMS application is a reliable proof of the flexibility and the scalability of the S4I platform, truly creating a unique cloud-based integration system for wireless radio communication.

A semantic Web based scientific news aggregator

Scientists want to stay connected with everything that is new in scientific world, so they constantly read several online scientific magazines and newspapers. However, not all the subjects are of interest to everyone. Consequently, a user is forced to do a lot of browsing to find the articles which are important to him. This paper presents a scientific news aggregator, structured as an online magazine. The content is automatically withdrawn from several online publications, available on the Internet. Instead of using a traditional database, all the information about the items posted on the site is stored in a RDF file, which is automatically updated.

Web4Desktop, a Framework for Improving the Usability of Web Applications

The cloud computing model leads to the increased penetration of the web applications in the office environment. Designed in many cases to replace traditional desktop software, web applications still lack many of the valuable features present on the desktop that increase usability and productivity. Due to the highly isolated design of the browser, it is currently impossible for web applications to communicate with desktop environment, which usually means sending messages or receiving event notifications. This is often required in order to let the person using the application know about the important events happening in the minimized browser window. By contrast traditional applications can take the control of the desktop at any time. The paper introduces the Web4Desktop framework, a browser/client based architecture designed to overcome these limitations by proving a secure infrastructure that allows web applications to communicate with any desktop software implementing the Web4Desktop API. The framework can be utilized to add desktop integration to existing web applications, a step that requires only minimal changes in the web application’s code and greatly improve the user experience because these applications will start to behave more like desktop software.

An Architecture for a Semantic Web Management System

The Semantic Web is a project and vision of theWorld Wide Web Consortium to extend the current Web, so that information is given well-defined meaning and structure, enhancing computers and people to work in cooperation.Semantic technologies are being added to enterprise solutions to accommodate new techniques for discovering relationships across different database, business applications and Web services. In this paper, we present an architectural model for a software tool which combines the use of Semantic Web mechanisms with database metadata and data warehousing mechanisms. If the benefits of the Semantic Web concept are combined with a powerful database server, then the information management will be much improved.

Biomedical data correlation and reuse in analyzing the efficiency of rehabilitation treatment

The aim of the project making the subject of this paper was setting up a complex database (medical, imagistic, biomechanical) and developing conceptual models for interpreting the available data, with direct applicability in choosing and evaluating the treatment. The database contains heterogeneous, multidisciplinary data, provided by various investigations. Research based on corroborating clinical data, specific to each specialization involved in the functional rehabilitation process for patients with orthopaedics or neuromuscular pathology, has been successfully associated with motion analysis software, in order to create a complex acquisition and data processing system, with direct applicability in the human motility analysis.

Mood Detector - On Using Machine Learning to Identify Moods and Emotions

This paper presents the design and implementation of the Mood Detector application, which is designed to detect the mood and emotional state of the user by analyzing 3 physical parameters (pulse, skin electro conductivity and temperature) by using a machine learning algorithm which is trained with data from the users. The application has been tested repetitively until the results generated by the learning algorithm have been validated 100%, thus confirming that the machine learning algorithms provides the correct output. The application also integrates a music recommender system, which suggests the user to listen to specific playlists, designed according to his currently detected mood.

On Using a Cloud-Based Approach to Develop a Mobile Asset Management Solution

After the 9/11 events, stakeholders around the world have become concerned and looked for solutions to address the safety of the global transportation infrastructure. The Mobile Assets Management System (MAMS) presented in this paper focuses on improving transportation safety related aspects such as vehicle safety, cargo safety, passenger safety and driver safety. MAMS is a mobile asset management solution dedicated to locating and monitoring commercial fleets, offering fleet managers and dispatchers complete monitoring and control capabilities from an Internet-connected computer located anywhere in the world. The system is built on a cloud based secure, intelligent, interlinked and interactive infrastructure, namely the S4I I™ platform developed by SafeMobile. The implementation of the MAMS application is a reliable proof of the flexibility and the scalability of the S4I platform, truly creating a unique cloud-based integration system for wireless radio communication. We present the context and the benefits of the mobile asset management solution, the architecture and the main components of the system and we underline the advantages it provides to the global transportation infrastructure in terms of safety and security, which is a major concern nowadays.
