- Ambient Intelligence - Software and ApplicationsPublication . Mohamed, Amr; Novais, Paulo; Pereira, António; González, Gabriel Villarrubia; Fernández-Caballero, Antonio; Mohamed,, A.; Novais,, P.; Fernández-Caballero,, A.; González,, G.V.; Pereira,, P.This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence (ISAmI 2015), held in Salamanca, Spain on June 3th-5th at the University of Salamanca. After a careful review, 27 papers from 10 different countries were selected to be presented in ISAmI 2015 at the conference and published in the proceedings. ISAmI has been running annually and aiming to bring together researchers from various disciplines that constitute the scientific field of Ambient Intelligence to present and discuss the latest results, new ideas, projects and lessons learned, namely in terms of software and applications and aims to bring together researchers from various disciplines that are interested in all aspects of this area. Ambient Intelligence is a recent paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence, where computers are used as proactive tools assisting people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more comfortable. Another main concern of AmI originates from the human computer interaction domain and focuses on offering ways to interact with systems in a more natural way by means user friendly interfaces. This field is evolving quickly as can be witnessed by the emerging natural language and gesture based types of interaction.
- Atitudes e Comportamentos de Separação de Embalagens Usadas na Comunidade Intermunicipal da Região de LeiriaPublication . Fernandes, Maria Eduarda; Gomes da Silva, Carlos; Gaspar Ferreira, Alcina; Febra, Lígia; Maurício Costa, JoãoA Comunidade Intermunicipal da Região de Leiria (CIMRL) é composta por 10 Municípios, com cerca de 287 mil habitantes (INE, 2022) e recolhe anualmente 123 022 toneladas de resíduos sólidos urbanos, dos quais apenas 17% são recolhidos de forma seletiva (INE, 2025). Neste contexto, e enquadrado no Projeto Embalagem do Futuro (PPS08), é importante compreender melhor os comportamentos e atitudes dos agregados familiares da CIMRL face à separação de embalagens usadas (plástico, metal/alumínio, vidro, cartão/papel e cápsulas de café). Tendo por base a Theory of Planned Behavior, uma das principais teorias usadas para compreender a complexidade do comportamento social humano, as normas morais e os valores pro-ambientais, foi realizado um inquérito online junto dos agregados familiares da CIMRL.
- Bio-Materials and Prototyping Applications in MedicinePublication . Bártolo, Paulo Jorge; Bidanda, Bopaya; Bártolo, Paulo Jorge; Bidanda, BopayaThis second edition maintains a focus on integrated biomaterials, computer-aided design, and physical prototyping techniques as examples of the materials and applications that are found in medical environments. All original chapters, written by renowned experts in the field, have been updated along with the addition of four new chapters on: • Smart insoles • Medical applications of additive manufacturing • Additive manufacturing in craniofacial applications • Additive manufacturing in hearing aids This wide-ranging treatise on biomaterials and prototyping applications in medicine also focuses on solid freeform fabrication, rapid prototyping, layered manufacturing, and computer-aided design in the development of prosthetic devices. This book is a must-have for bioengineers seeking a comprehensive overview of this important subject and examples of medical applications, as well as researchers and academics in the same field.
- Complexity-Aware High Efficiency Video CodingPublication . Corrêa, Guilherme; Assunção, Pedro; Agostini, Luciano; Cruz, Luis A. da SilvaThis book discusses computational complexity of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoders with coverage extending from the analysis of HEVC compression efficiency and computational complexity to the reduction and scaling of its encoding complexity. After an introduction to the topic and a review of the state-of-the-art research in the field, the authors provide a detailed analysis of the HEVC encoding tools compression efficiency and computational complexity. Readers will benefit from a set of algorithms for scaling the computational complexity of HEVC encoders, all of which take advantage from the flexibility of the frame partitioning structures allowed by the standard. The authors also provide a set of early termination methods based on data mining and machine learning techniques, which are able to reduce the computational complexity required to find the best frame partitioning structures. The applicability of the proposed methods is finally exemplified with an encoding time control system that employs the best complexity reduction and scaling methods presented throughout the book. The methods presented in this book are especially useful in power-constrained, portable multimedia devices to reduce energy consumption and to extend battery life. They can also be applied to portable and non-portable multimedia devices operating in real time with limited computational resources.
- Improving Organizational Effectiveness with Enterprise Information SystemsPublication . Varajão, João Eduardo; Cruz-Cunha, Maria Manuela; Martinho, Ricardo; Varajão, João Eduardo; Cruz-Cunha, Maria Manuela; Martinho, RicardoInformation and communication technologies are widely used to improve organizational efficiency and ensure effective workflows. Technology and software systems provide the opportunity to improve productivity and efficiency when used correctly; however, professionals continue to encounter challenges in a variety of settings.Improving Organizational Effectiveness with Enterprise Information Systems analyzes the challenges and solutions associated with integrating new technologies in organizations, including key topics in cloud computing, project management, and operational procedure development and implementation. This publication is an essential reference source for senior managers, CIOs, ICT professionals, project managers, researchers, academicians, and upper level students interested in the applications and advances in ICTs and IS.
- Virtual Prototyping & Bio Manufacturing in Medical ApplicationsPublication . Bidanda, Bopaya; Bártolo, Paulo Jorge; Bidanda, Bopaya; Bártolo, Paulo JorgeThis new edition focuses on modeling and manufacturing in the field of prototyping and bio manufacturing. The principles utilized draw heavily from more traditional engineering fields including mechanical, industrial, civil (structures), electrical, and bio engineering. Written for engineers and academics seeking a comprehensive overview of virtual prototyping and rapid prototyping, this book discusses in detail applications related to surgery, medical imaging, tissue engineering, bone replacement, and more. Seven new chapters address: • Two-photon polymerization for tissue engineering • Molding in medicine • Organ printing • Skin printing • Nerve regeneration and spinal injury repair • Cartilage regeneration • And Structural analysis of the human shoulder.
