Maximizing Users Comfort Levels through User Preference Estimation in Public Smartspaces

by Shinya Yamamotoy, Naoya Kouyamayy, Keiichi Yasumotoyy, Minoru Itoyy
"... Abstract—In recent years, the ubiquitous computing system attracts people’s attention as the system to provide useful services (e.g., automatic temperature control) without explicit operations by users. There are many existing methods for controlling appliances according to the user’s preference by ..."

by describing each user’s preference and rules. However, these methods cannot be applied to public spaces where many general users with different preferences exist. In this paper, we propose an architecture and a method for controlling devices that affect the users comfort level (e.g., air conditioner

The BSD Packet Filter: A New Architecture for User-level Packet Capture

by Steven Mccanne, Van Jacobson , 1992
"... Many versions of Unix provide facilities for user-level packet capture, making possible the use of general purpose workstations for network monitoring. Because network monitors run as user-level processes, packets must be copied across the kernel/user-space protection boundary. This copying can be m ..."

Scheduler Activations: Effective Kernel Support for the User-Level Management of Parallelism

by Thomas E. Anderson, Brian N. Bershad, Edward D. Lazowska, Henry M. Levy - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... Threads are the vehicle,for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads separate the notion of a sequential execution stream from the other aspects of traditional UNIX-like processes, such as address spaces and I/O descriptors. The objective of this separation is to make the expr ..."

the expression and control of parallelism sufficiently cheap that the programmer or compiler can exploit even fine-grained parallelism with acceptable overhead. Threads can be supported either by the operating system kernel or by user-level library code in the application address space, but neither approach has

Real-time american sign language recognition using desk and wearable computer based video

by Thad Starner, Joshua Weaver, Alex Pentland - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1998
"... We present two real-time hidden Markov model-based systems for recognizing sentence-level continuous American Sign Language (ASL) using a single camera to track the user’s unadorned hands. The first system observes the user from a desk mounted camera and achieves 92 percent word accuracy. The secon ..."

NewsWeeder: Learning to Filter Netnews

by Ken Lang - in Proceedings of the 12th International Machine Learning Conference (ML95 , 1995
"... A significant problem in many information filtering systems is the dependence on the user for the creation and maintenance of a user profile, which describes the user's interests. NewsWeeder is a netnews-filtering system that addresses this problem by letting the user rate his or her interest l ..."

Why We Twitter: Understanding Microblogging Usage and Communities

by Akshay Java, Tim Finin
"... Microblogging is a new form of communication in which users can describe their current status in short posts distributed by instant messages, mobile phones, email or the Web. Twitter, a popular microblogging tool has seen a lot of growth since it launched in October, 2006. In this paper, we present ..."

Abstract A new software suite, called Crystallography & NMR System (CNS), has been developed for macromolecular structure determination by X-ray crystallography or solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In contrast to existing structure determination programs the architecture o ..."
