Most cloud data centers are over-provisioned and underutilized, primarily to handle peak loads and sudden failures. This has motivated many researchers to reclaim the unused resources, which are by nature ephemeral, to run data-intensive applications at a lower cost. Hadoop MapReduce is one of those applications. However, it was designed on the ass...
Identify the design pattern language of serious game for imparting innovation knowledge. Then design and digitalize one serious game which dedicated to teaching RID methodology.
Sustainable agriculture is crucial to society since it aims at supporting the world's current food needs without compromising future generations. Recent developments in Smart Agriculture and Internet of Things have made possible the collection of unprecedented amounts of agricultural data with the goal of making agricultural processes better and mo...

SARL is a general-purpose agent-oriented programming language. This language aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration that are usually considered as essential for implementing agent-based applications. Every programming ...
Historically, the study of mountain hydrology and the water cycle has been largely observational, with meteorological forcing and hydrological variables extrapolated from a few infrequent manual measurements. Recent developments in Internet of Things (IoT) technology are revolutionizing the field of mountain hydrology. Low-power wireless sensor net...
In this paper we introduce a new class of bounds for the maximum -cut problem on undirected edge-weighted simple graphs. The bounds involve eigenvalues of the weighted adjacency matrix together with geometrical parameters. They generalize previous results on the maximum (2-)cut problem and we demonstrate that they can strictly improve over other ei...
The quality assessment of biometric samples is a crucial issue in biometrics, indeed, many studies showed its significant impact on the subsequent performance of the biometric system. Many metrics have been proposed and studied in the literature in order to quantify their usefulness. In this paper, we propose to merge different metrics in order to ...
3D point clouds constitute an emerging multimedia content, now used in a wide range of applications. The main drawback of this representation is the size of the data since typical point clouds may contain millions of points, usually associated with both geometry and color information. Consequently, a significant amount of work has been devoted to t...
