Presentation delivered jointly by Richard Aylard (Thames Water), Trevor Bishop (Environment Agency), Nick Ellins (Water UK), Tim Collins (Natural England) at Communicate 2012: Breaking Boundaries. The Wettest Drought on Record focused on the challenges of communicating water saving messages in the face of a summer of heavy rainfall.

It focuses on creating an original computer environment, which can be time-consuming and difficult to achieve, and also it is very costly because of its ability to maintain a closer connection to the authenticity object.
Bio-inspired Artificial Intelligence for Collective SystemsAchini_Adikari
Artificial Intelligence is a constantly growing field of study. Today, there is an emerging interest to bind concepts natural systems to computing to develop self-organized machines
Inspired from social behavior of insects and other creatures, artificial intelligence community has learned a series of techniques commonly known as Swarm Intelligence. Here we give a 15 minute introduction to this area.

An Ad-hoc Smart Gateway Platform for the Web of Things (IEEE iThings 2013 Bes...Darren Carlson
The Web of Things (WoT) aims to extend the Web into the physical world by promoting the adoption of Web protocols by situated services and smart objects (ambient artifacts). However, real-world ambient artifacts often adopt proprietary and/or non-Web protocols, making them invisible to Web search engines and inaccessible to conventional Web agents. Smart Gateways have been proposed as a way to “Web-enable” proprietary ambient artifacts through intermediary proxy nodes; however, the requisite infrastructure is difficult to deploy at Web scale. To address such challenges, we are developing Ambient Dynamix (Dynamix): a plug-and-play context framework for mobile devices, which enables Web agents to interoperate with non-Web ambient artifacts – directly from the browser. In this paper, we describe how Dynamix can be used to transform the user’s device into an ad-hoc Smart Gateway in-situ, enabling Web applications (in the device’s browser) to seamlessly interact with non-Web ambient artifacts in the physical environment. We describe an operational prototype implementation, which enables Web apps to discover and control nearby UPnP and AirPlay media devices uniformly. We also present a performance evaluation that indicates the prototype imposes low processing and memory overhead, and is suitable for deployment on many commodity mobile devices.
What is Artificial Intelligence AI? What is its origin? How Bio-Intelligence BI is being Harnessed as a Power in modern times?
These and and more are answer in this Videnar (Video-Seminar) which is the summary of my recent seminars given at various universities in Canada and abroad (https://lnkd.in/e2CHjPW).
I explain herein how BI has inspired AI in many ways at various engineering and modern technologies. Furthermore, I extend this inspiration to suggest a remedy to the modern education crisis to engage and motivate young student and adults alike using STEM and Blended Learning.
This is summary of my research and teaching statement and mission over the course of my career to include all my seminars presented at various universities across the world (see https://lnkd.in/e2CHjPW)
It also includes my teaching philosophy and proposition by embedding intelligence in modern teaching/education and Blended learning. This method has been published at the 124th conference of American Society for Engineering Education, Columbus, OH, USA on July 2017.

It included my journey in embedding intelligence in imaging from the device level, to circuit level and up to the system level.
It also includes my teaching philosophy and proposition by embedding intelligence in modern teaching/education and Blended learning.
