In buildings, daylight is a commonly-used source of wellbeing, aesthetic delight and energy efficiency. Daylight is therefore one of the main parameters considered in the design of buildings. Methods used by architectural designers may be quantitativ... Read More about An evaluation method for daylighting quality in buildings under clear sunny skies..

It is often asserted that the sun and traditional dwellings were in a perfect harmony, whereas the built environment produced in the last fifty years has in fact marginalized most of the climatic factors. Increasingly, an effort is being made to reco... Read More about The impact of sunlight and daylight on the dwelling's occupancy: case of the hot dry regions of Algeria..

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...

We discussed a new approach using inference fusion, i.e. the cooperative reasoning from distributed heterogeneous inference systems, to extend the expressive and deductive powers of existing Description Logic (DL) based systems. More specifically, ou... Read More about Infusion: a hybrid reasoning system with description logics..
