The Macao national observation and research station for coastal ecological environment (Macao field station) played a critical role in advancing research on coastal ecological environments and climate change. Its primary...

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging technologies have converged to drive the remarkable development of intelligent systems. The interconnection of physical objects, sensors, and tiny communication devices ...

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence represented by large language models (LLMs) and multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has achieved remarkable progress. These ultra-large-scale and complex models im...

Abstract While multi-access edge computing (MEC) enables flexible task offloading, the inherent dynamism and complexity of real-world environments, accompanied by various uncertainties, exacerbate the challenges in offlo...

Teams of scientific specialists have replaced independent researchers, simultaneously the research team size has increased by 50% over the 19‑year period. Better collaborations between project team members might improv...

The constant demands that technology creates in aerospace engineering also influence education. The identification of the technologies with practical application in aerospace engineering is of current interest to decisio...

Abstract In response to the dual challenges of complex static obstacles and frequent dynamic disturbances in the construction site environment, this paper proposes a hybrid path planning strategy that integrates global s...

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) and the success of rich cloud services have pushed the horizon of a new computing paradigm, edge computing, which calls for processing the data at the edge of the network. Ed...

Recommender systems apply knowledge discovery techniques to the problem of making personalized recommendations for information, products or services during a liveinteraction. These systems, especially the k-nearest neigh...

Negotiation is a basic mechanism for interaction that allows the members in a Multiagent System to coordinate their actions and to reach a favorable agreement. When agents are collaborative, the negotiation process progr...

In a multi-agent system, a group of individ- uals interact in a social context in order to boost their capabilities and enhance global per- formance. Each individual's action repertoire may be reduced, but it's social ca...

Abstract Over the past few decades, a new form of governance has emerged to replace adversarial and managerial modes of policy making and implementation. Collaborative governance, as it has come to be known, brings publi...

This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, coll...

Abstract The rising complexity of urban areas, along with growing public safety needs, has made intelligent video surveillance systems more essential. The current surveillance systems that rely on human observation and p...

The paper presents a formal model for a knowledge repository shared by members of a Virtual Community of Practice (VCPs), describes how the repository can be used to underpin collaborative problem solving, and how to bui...

The subject matter of this work is focused in the development of an application for team work over a distributed system belonging to an organization. This choice is based in the organizations need of their members’ co...

BACKGROUND: System-wide profiling of genes and proteins in mammalian cells produce lists of differentially expressed genes/proteins that need to be further analyzed for their collective functions in order to extract new ...
