Overcoming barriers and increasing independence: service robots for elderly and disabled people
This paper discusses the potential for service robots to overcome barriers and increase independence of
elderly and disabled people. It includes a brief overview of the existing uses of service robots by disabled and elderly
people and advances in technology which will make new uses possible and provides suggestions for some of these new
applications. The paper also considers the design and other conditions to be met for user acceptance. It also discusses
the complementarity of assistive service robots and personal assistance and considers the types of applications and
users for which service robots are and are not suitable
Validation and Evaluation
In this technical report, we present prototypical implementations of
innovative tools and methods for personalized and contextualized (multimedia)
search, collaborative ontology evolution, ontology evaluation and cost models,
and dynamic access and trends in distributed (semantic) knowledge, developed
according to the working plan outlined in Technical Report TR-B-12-04. The
prototypes complete the next milestone on the path to an integral Corporate
Semantic Web architecture based on the three pillars Corporate Ontology
Engineering, Corporate Semantic Collaboration, and Corporate Semantic Search,
as envisioned in TR-B-08-09

Agronomy
Climate change is a serious threat to field crop production and food security. It has negative effects on food, water, and energy security due to change in weather patterns and extreme events such as floods, droughts, and heat waves, all of which reduce crop productivity. Over six chapters, this book presents a comprehensive picture of the importance of agronomy as it relates to the United Nationsâ Sustainable Development Goals. With an emphasis on the goals of Zero Hunger and Climate Change, this volume examines sustainable agronomic practices to increase crop productivity and improve environmental health
