In this paper we propose to use lexical semantic networks to extend the state-of-the-art
object recognition techniques. We use the semantics of image labels to integrate prior …

Architecture and Adaptation discusses architectural projects that use computational
technology to adapt to changing conditions and human needs. Topics include kinetic and …

The evidence suggests that human actions are supported by emotional elements that
complement logic inference in our decision-making processes. In this paper an exploratory …

Autonomy of embedded agents in intelligent environments is highly debated topic; while
some believe that agents should have very minimal autonomy and should only act as …

As computing devices become more pervasive, our daily activities start generating a vast
amount of information that could be exploited for helping us better understand ourselves. In …

A new approach is presented for the detection of linear structures boundaries. The initial
objective is the structure detection and its analysis, especially the diameter estimation. The …

Formed in the 1960s cultural milieu, the Archigram avant-garde group envisaged and
designed architectural environments able to respond to indeterminacy, individual choice …

With ever increasing accessibility to technological devices, services and applications there
is also an increasing burden on the end user to manage and configure such resources. This …

One form of complexity in intelligent environments arises from their heterogeneous nature.
The growing variety of environments and countless stereotypes of users operating Intelligent …
