Since the purchase of Siri by Apple, and its release with the iPhone 4S in 2011, virtualassistants (VAs) have grown in number and popularity. The sophisticated natural language processingand speech recognition employed by VAs enables users to interact with them conversationally, almostas they would with another human. To service user voice requests...
Objectives: The use of digital health technologies (DHT) is increasingly ubiquitous in intervention studies aimed at reducing health risks or improving the management of chronic diseases such as cancer. However, although DHT clearly show promises for a variety of applications, one third of users quit using DHT less than six months after the purchas...
Hrup je pri načrtovanju mest prihodnosti velik dejavnik, saj se vedno bolj zavedamo, kakšen vpliv ima na zdravje in kvaliteto življenja. Načrtovalci javnih površin tako vedno več odločitev sprejemajo z namenom obvladovanja hrupa. Trenutne rešitve za pridobivanje podatkov o hrupu so drage in zahtevajo veliko načrtovanja, zato se jih velikokrat presk...

In critical Internet of Things (IoT) application domains, such as the Defense Industry and Healthcare, false alerts have many negative effects, such as fear, disruption of emergency services, and waste of resources. Therefore, an alert must only be sent if triggered by a correct event. Nevertheless, IoT networks are exposed to intrusions, which aff...
In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies provide various artificial autonomy features that allow intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) to assist users in managing the dynamically expanding applications, devices, and services in their daily lives. However, limited academic research has been done...
V této práci se zabývám návrhem a realizací univerzální komunikační brány, která by mohla sloužit jako ústředna chytré domácnosti umožňující integrovat co nejvíce běžně dostupných Smart Home produktů bez ohledu na výrobce či pro-duktovou řadu. Brána bude založena na open-source projektech (GNU/Linux, Home Assistant, NodeRED aj.) a koncipována jako ...

In edge computing, edge devices can offload their overloaded computing tasks to an edge server. This can give full play to an edge server’s advantages in computing and storage, and efficiently execute computing tasks. However, if they together offload all the overloaded computing tasks to an edge server, it can be overloaded, thereby resulting in t...
