In this paper we review the concept of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and investigate its inherent technological services in the light of potential applications to ITS-related scenarios. Albeit AmI and ITS may seem to overlap in many aspects, they are indeed different and their true synergetic and mutual benefits have not been fully explored nor exploited. Therefore, coupling these two emerging fields might foster a cross-fertilization of opportunities, both for researchers in the scientific community and engineers as well as practitioners in charge of traffic operations. Bearing in mind such a challenging motivation, we propose an integrated research framework where AmI meets ITS requirements in the real world, is analysed in a virtual environment and support decision-making within virtual control strategists and management policy makers modelled under the metaphor of autonomous agents. Issues are still to be addressed and are discussed as future work opportunities.

In this paper, an efficient resource allocation scheme-based nonlinear energy harvesting (EH) Timeslot switching (TS) for single-input-single-output (SISO) SWIPT systems-(ERAS-NETS) is presented. The energy saturation characteristic is considered in the EH model where point-to-point (P2P) single-input single-output (P2P-SISO) SWIPT system is studied. Harvesting energy is based on Timeslot switching (TS) aiming at optimizing the average data rate where the TS ratio is a binary value (0 or 1). Hence, the problem is a nonconvex optimization problem because of the binary factor of the TS ratio. The optimization problem is solved using the Lagrange dual theorem that states that the optimal values of the Primal (P) and Dual (D) linear problem are the same if either solution is a basic feasible solution. Accordingly, the derivation of the optimal solution helps receiver to switch either to EH or information decoding (ID) based on the SNR value. Hence, the receiver will switch to EH in the districts having medium values of SNR, otherwise, the receiver will switch to ID in districts having SNR less than 5 dB or more than 25 dB. Different network performance metrics were considered in evaluating the proposed ERAS-NETS scheme in comparison with traditional state-in-the-art TS resource allocation schemes such as transmission power, distance between source and destination, pathloss exponent, and minimum required harvested energy. Simulations showed that ERAS-NETS improves energy efficiency with respect to different transmission power by 20%, 10%, and 3 % for high SNR, medium SNR, and low SNR districts, respectively. Improvement with respect to average energy efficiency versus other system performance metrics has also been noted for the proposed scheme.

Taking into account the high regularity and completeness of Binary Edwards Curves (BEC), BEC point operation efficient implementation in hardware becomes a need especially since such curves tend to be more resistant against side channel attacks than the classical Weierstrass Elliptic Curves. However, BECs require more GF(2k) operations for a single scalar multiplication. This constitutes a deterring factor for their wide adoption and standardization. In this paper, a design methodology, hardware architecture and implementation is proposed on the efficient implementation of BEC scalar multiplication accelerators. To achieve that, a parallelism approach is introduced on affine coordinate representation BECs supporting fast GF(2k) inversion through a GF(2k) inversion algorithm capable of realizing also GF(2k) multiplication. The resulting architecture using 4 parallel operating GF(2k) arithmetic units when implemented in FPGA technology provide better results than similar Weierstrass Curves following parallelism techniques, indicated that BECs support parallelism better than their Weierstrass equivalent.

Understanding and modeling user online behavior, as well as predicting future requests remain an open challenge for researchers, analysts and marketers. In this paper, we propose an efficient prediction schema based on the extraction of sequential navigation patterns from server log files, combined with web site topology. Traversed paths are monitored, internally recorded and cleaned before being completed with cashed page views. After session and episode identification follows the construction of n-grams. Prediction is based upon a 5 + n-gram schema with all lower level n-grams participating, a procedure that resembles the construction of an All 5th-order Markov Model. The schema achieves full coverage while maintaining competitive prediction precision.

This paper investigates link layer transmission schemes for hybrid optical wireless (OW)/radio frequency (RF) systems with constraints on both per-link and total power consumption at the transmitter. Assuming timeslot structure and using a queue for storing the random data packet arrivals, we formulate a stochastic optimization problem where intelligent control decisions are taken by the hybrid transmitter in each slot, regarding the number of the packets admitted in its queue and the power levels used in each link. The aim of this formulation is to design a control policy that maximizes the transmitter throughput, while satisfying its power constraints as well. A solution is offered by using the Lyapunov optimization framework. An on-line transmission algorithm is derived, which takes control decisions based only on the status of the transmitter queue and the erasure probabilities of the OW and RF links. The proposed algorithm meets the desired throughput objective by efficiently exploiting both links, while provides explicit power consumption guarantees.
