Relevant Context Discovery for Pervasive Services Involving User Control
Journal Title: Acta Technica Napocensis- Electronica-Telecomunicatii (Electronics and Telecommunications) - Year 2009, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
Dynamic context adaptation is a central concept in Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing. In this paper we have analyzed the problem of context relevance and we have chosen an approach where the user is also involved also in the relevance control. The advantage of involving the user is motivated by the fact that a completely automatic context management cannot deal with unpredicted situations. The proposed solution was implemented on the top of WComp middleware. An easy to use interface let the user the possibility to easily manage its context.

Broadband Power Amplifier Nonlinearity Cancellation in OFDM Systems
One drawback of OFDM systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio, which imposes strong requirements on the linearity of power amplifiers (PAs). Such linearity requirements translate into high back-off that results in...
An Experimental Architecture For Basic IPTV Concepts Implementation and Testing
The paper describes basic concepts and a practical implementation of a simple architecture for IPTV content creation and distribution. The architecture is conceived to make possible extensive tests. Audio-video content i...
Divide-and-Conquer Piecewise Linear Approximation of Gain and Phase Evaluation
Certain approaches to phase approximation ask as a first step in implementation for a piecewise linear fitting of gain. When the breakpoints are given, there are few ways to determine the slopes of the broken line approx...
Design Optimization of Analog Active Circuits Using the Genetic Algorithm
This paper presents an optimization tool for the design of analog circuits implemented with commercially-available discrete devices. It takes into consideration the standard values available for the passive components, a...
Test Power Optimization with Recordering of Genetic Test Vectors for VLSI Circuits
Power optimization is one of the important challenges in VLSI circuit for testing engineers. Larger power dissipation becomes the reason for overheating and with every increase in 10oC in operating temperature, failure r...
