Morse Code Translator Using the Arduino Platform: Crafting the Future of Microc...

The ability of the Arduino platform to enhance student interest and performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, while fostering skills that are important prerequisites for future IT careers, has been proven more than once in the past years. But can the future be crafted without the past? We believe that many past inventions crave the future, so their understanding is a bridg...

An Integrated Management Supervisor for End-to-End Management of Heterogeneous ...

End-to-end support for Quality of Service (QoS) has been broadly discussed in the literature. Many technologies have been proposed, each focusing on specific aspects for providing QoS guarantees to the end user. However, the integrated management of the end-to-end chain preserving QoS in heterogeneous environments is still a significant issue and insufficiently addressed to date. In this paper we propose an int...

Creating and analysing a social network built from clips of online news

Current online news media are increasingly depending on the participation of readers in their websites while readers increasingly use more sophisticated technology to access online news. In this context, the authors present the Breadcrumbs system and project that aims to provide news readers with tools to collect online news, to create a personal digital library (PDL) of clips taken from news, and to navigate n...

Validation of a Time Based Routing Algorithm Using a Realistic Automatic Wareho...

Traffic Control is one of the fundamental problems in the management of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system. Its main objectives are to assure efficient conflict free routes and to avoid/solve system deadlocks. In this sense, and as an extension of our previouswork, this paper focus on exploring the capabilities of the Time Enhanced A* (TEA*) to dynamically control a fleet of AGVs, responsible for the exec...

Price-maker optimal planning and operation of distributed energy resources

This paper proposes a linear programming problem to find the optimal planning and operation of aggregated distributed energy resources (DER), managed by an aggregator that participates in the day-ahead wholesale electricity market as a price-maker agent. The proposed model analyzes the impact of the size of the aggregated resources and gives the optimal planning and management of DER systems, and the correspond...

Analysis of Phase Interrogated SPR Fiber Optic Sensors with Different Bimetalli...

Optical fiber sensors based on the phenomenon of plasmonic resonance can be interrogated applying different methods, the most common one being the spectral approach where the measurand information is derived from the reading of the wavelength resonance dip. In principle, a far better performance can be achieved considering the reading of the phase of the light at a specific wavelength located within the spectra...

BacalhauNet: A tiny CNN for lightning-fast modulation classification

<jats:p>Deep learning methods have been shown to be competitive solutions for modulation classification tasks, but suffer from being computationally expensive, limiting their use on embedded devices. We propose a new deep neural network architecture which employs known structures, depth-wise separable convolution and residual connections, as well as a compression methodology, which combined lead to a tiny and f...

Lane Background Removal for the Classification of Thin-Layer Chromatography Images

This paper describes a methodology to remove the background of the lanes in Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) images, aiming at improving band detection and classification. The storage of the biological samples to be analyzed by TLC is usually done via plastic containers. Filter paper is an alternative that allows reduced costs and higher portability, but it increases the complexity of the image analysis stage du...
