Smart environments are becoming a reality in our society and the number of intelligent
devices integrated in these spaces is increasing very rapidly. As the combination of …

Middleware has become an essential element in the construction of distributed Internet of
Things (IoT) applications. While it plays a central role in hiding the complexities of …

A considerable part of the behavior in smart environments relies on event-driven and rule
specification. Rules are the mechanism most often used to enable user customization of the …

During the recent years, we can observe how mobile devices entered in the lives of people,
becoming their main personal assistants and helping in various daily tasks. However not just …

In this paper, a combination of neural network with sliding mode control (SMC) is proposed.
As a result, the chattering is eliminated and error performance of SMC is improved. In such …
