Indoor microclimate monitoring and forecasting: Public Sector building use case
Sudniks, Ruslans; Ziemelis, Arturs; Nikitenko, Agris; Soares, V.N.G.J.; Supe, AndisThis research aims to demonstrate a machine learning (ML) algorithm-based indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring and forecasting system for a public sector building use case. Such a system has the potential to automate existing heating/ventilation systems, therefore reducing energy consumption. One of Riga Technical University’s campus buildings, equipped with around 128 IAQ sensors, is used as a test bed to creat...
Computer vision for reducing food waste in an institutional canteen: A literatu...
Correia, Ana; Aidos, Clara; Caldeira, J.M.L.P.; Soares, V.N.G.J.Food waste in today's society has been the subject of growing interest and discussion, given its economic, environmental, social, and nutritional implications. Although food waste is present throughout the food supply chain, in developed countries it tends to be higher in the final stages of consumption (e.g., households and food services). This study focuses on institutional canteens, where food waste includes...
Hybrid B5G-DTN architecture with federated learning for contextual communicatio...
Jesús-Azabal, Manuel; Zheng, Meichun; Soares, V.N.G.J.In dense urban environments and large-scale events, Internet infrastructure often becomes overloaded due to high communication demand. Many of these communications are local and short-lived, exchanged between users in close proximity but still relying on global infrastructure, leading to unnecessary network stress. In this context, delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) offer an alternative by enabling device-to-device...
Generative jazz chord progressions: A statistical approach to harmonic creativity
Raposo, Adriano; Soares, V.N.G.J.Jazz music has long been a subject of interest in the field of generative music. Traditional jazz chord progressions follow established patterns that contribute to the genre’s distinct sound. However, the demand for more innovative and diverse harmonic structures has led to the exploration of alternative approaches in music generation. This paper addresses the challenge of generating novel and engaging jazz cho...
Modular microservices architecture for generative music integration in digital ...
Raposo, Adriano N.; Soares, V.N.G.J.This paper presents the design and implementation of a modular cloud-based architecturethat enables generative music capabilities in Digital audioWorkstations through a MIDI microservices backend and a user-friendly VST plugin frontend. The system comprises a generative harmony engine deployed as a standalone service, a microservice layer that orchestrates communication and exposes an API, and a VST plugin that...
Phrase-oriented generative rhythmic patterns for jazz solos
Raposo, Adriano N.; Soares, V.N.G.J.This study introduces a novel generative approach for crafting phrase-oriented rhythmic patterns in jazz solos, leveraging statistical analyses of a comprehensive corpus, the Weimar Jazz Database. Jazz solos, celebrated for their improvisational complexity, require a delicate interplay between rhythm and melody, making the generation of authentic rhythmic patterns a challenging task. This work systematically ex...
Dynamic energy-aware anchor optimization for contact-based indoor localization ...
Jesús-Azabal, Manuel; Zheng, Meichun; Soares, V.N.G.J.Indoor positioning remains a recurrent and significant challenge in research. Unlike outdoor environments, where the Global Positioning System (GPS) provides reliable location information, indoor scenarios lack direct line-of-sight to satellites or cellular towers, rendering GPS inoperative and requiring alternative positioning techniques. Despite numerous approaches, indoor contexts with resource limitations, ...
Connection-aware digital twin for mobile adhoc networks in the 5G era
Jesús-Azabal, Manuel; Zhang, Zheng; Gao, Bingxia; Yang, Jing; Soares, V.N.G.J.5G Mobile Adhoc Networks (5G-MANETs) are a popular and agile solution for data transmission in local contexts while maintaining communication with remote entities via 5G. These characteristics have established 5G-MANETs as versatile communication infrastructures for deploying contextual applications, leveraging physical proximity while exploiting the possibilities of the Internet. As a result, there is growing ...

Es...
ML-enhanced live video streaming in offline mobile ad hoc networks: An applied ...
Jesús-Azabal, Manuel; Soares, V.N.G.J.; Galán-Jiménez, JaimeLive video streaming has become one of the main multimedia trends in networks in recent years. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) during live transmissions is challenging due to the stringent requirements for low latency and minimal interruptions. This scenario has led to a high dependence on cloud services, implying a widespread usage of Internet connections, which constrains contexts in which an Internet conn...
