Peer-to-Peer Jini for Truly Service-Oriented WSNs by António Pereira, Nuno Costa, Carlos Serôdio

“…In the past, wireless sensor networks emerged and so did some state-of-the-art applications that ran above them. Most of those applications followed the centralized model and were mainly focused on environmental data gathering, where sensor nodes sensed data from the environment to be sent to an external data server for later processing. …”

Modeling of spatial extremes in environmental data science: time to move away from max-stable processes by Raphaël Huser, Thomas Opitz, Jennifer L. Wadsworth

“…Even though the popularity of these models has perhaps peaked with statisticians, they are still perceived and considered as the “state of the art” in many applied fields. However, while the asymptotic theory supporting the use of max-stable processes is mathematically rigorous and comprehensive, we think that it has also been overused, if not misused, in environmental applications, to the detriment of more purposeful and meticulously validated models. …”

Face recognition using decision fusion of multiple sparse representation-based classifiers by Biao TANG, Wei JIN, Randi FU, Fei GONG

“…A new approach to face recognition combining decision fusion and multiple sparse representation-based classifiers was proposed to improve the robustness of the traditional methods.Different types of facial features were extracted,followed by training multiple sparse representation sub-classifiers,and then decision fusion was used to obtain the recognition result of the system.The significant advantage of the proposed scheme lines in that the final recognition results were not driven by averaging outputs of multiple sub-classifiers,but driven by combining multiple outputs via weighted fusion method.In particular,the fusion weights were adaptively determined by an iterative pro-cedure according to the different classification performance of each sub-classifier.Extensive experiments on Yale B,JAFFE and AR face databases demonstrate that the proposed approach is much more effective than state-of-the-art methods in dealing with lighting changes,expression changes and face occlusion and multi factor mixed interference.…”
