In this paper¹, a new single-server priority queueing system with a peaked arrival process and generally distributed service time is analysed by using the Polya distribution to describe the peaked traffic flows. The mean waiting time in the case of ...

Enhanced living environments employ information and communications technologies to support true ambient assisted living for adults and people with disabilities. This book provides an overview of today's architectures, techniques, protocols, components, ...

With the development of ubiquitous computing, recommendation systems have become essential tools in assisting users in discovering services they would find interesting. This process is highly dynamic with an increasing number of services, ...

This paper is focused on the design of an algorithm for decoupling multivariable systems based on generalized predictive control and its application to control of a quadruple tank system. The quadruple-tank process is representative of a multivariable ...

This paper describes the general service recommendation process matched to the telecommunication service delivery characteristics of the Ubiquitous Consumer Wireless World (UCWW). The goal is to provide consumers with the ‘best’ service ...

This paper presents a conceptual framework for building a recommendation engine for use in the ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). The framework is based on the Lambda Architecture and as such provides real-time recommendations at the speed layer ...

Abstract In this article, a full-access waiting multi-server queue with a statedependent arrival and departure processes is investigated and suggested for use as a generic traffic model of the novel concept of the Enhanced Living Environment as a ...

Context-aware recommendation systems make recommendations by adapting to user's specific situation, and thus by exploring both the user preferences and the environment. In this paper, we propose a context-aware service recommendation framework utilising ...

This paper reports on the development of a novel cloud-based next generation networking (NGN) system prototype, built on the revolutionary concept for the realisation of the next phase of a NGN-based consumer-oriented wireless networking, founded on the ...

This paper describes the design and development of a Consumer Identity Module (CIM) system for use in the emerging ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). The CIM system includes a smart-card, a client application, and a server application. Inserted ...

This paper proposes a push-notification service for use in the emerging ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). It follows the client/server design pattern and is developed based on the extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP). On the client ...

The performance of data access plays an important role for the applications of the emerging ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). As a 'Not only SQL' (NoSQL) database, Redis has been deployed in the UCWW cloud as an open-source key value store ...

Within this paper, a client-server mobile eLearning (mLearning) system is presented, which operates within an InfoStation-based networking environment for the provision of mobile services to users under the always best connected and best served (ABC&S) ...

A multi-agent-based platform, designed to incorporate mobile devices into educational practices, is presented in this paper. The platform builds on the InfoStation paradigm. Together with the rationale behind the multi-agent approach, the operations and ...
