Using an improved rule match algorithm in an expert system to detect broken driving rules for an energy-efficiency and safety relevant driving system
Vehicles have been so far improved in terms of energy-efficiency and safety mainly by optimising the engine and the power
train. However, there are opportunities to increase energy-efficiency and safety by adapting the individual driving
behaviour in the given driving situation. In this paper, an improved rule match algorithm is introduced, which is used in the
expert system of a human-centred driving system. The goal of the driving system is to optimise the driving behaviour in
terms of energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations to the driver. The improved rule match algorithm checks
the incoming information against the driving rules to recognise any breakings of a driving rule. The needed information is
obtained by monitoring the driver, the current driving situation as well as the car, using in-vehicle sensors and serial-bus
systems. On the basis of the detected broken driving rules, the expert system will create individual recommendations in
terms of energy-efficiency and safety, which will allow eliminating bad driving habits, while considering the driver needs

Detecting the adherence of driving rules in an energy-efficient, safe and adaptive driving system
An adaptive and rule-based driving system is being developed that tries to improve the driving behavior in terms of the energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations. Therefore, the driving system has to monitor the adherence of driving rules by matching the rules to the driving behavior. However, existing rule matching algorithms are not sufficient, as the data within a driving system is changing frequently. In this paper a rule matching algorithm is introduced that is able to handle frequently changing data within the context of the driving system. 15 journeys were used to evaluate the performance of the rule matching algorithms. The results showed that the introduced algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in the context of the driving system. Thus, the introduced algorithm is suited for matching frequently changing data against rules with a higher performance, why it will be used in the driving system for the detection of broken energy-efficiency or safety-relevant driving rules
A Home E-Health System for Dependent People Based on OSGI
This chapter presents a e-health system for dependent people installed in a
home environment. After reviewing the state of art in e-health applications and
technologies several limitations have been detected because many solutions
are proprietary and lack interoperability. The developed home e-health system
provides an architecture capable to integrate different telecare services in a
smart home gateway hardware independent from the application layer. We
propose a rule system to define users’ behavior and monitor relevant events.
Two example systems have been implemented to monitor patients. A data
model for the e-health platform is described as well.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TSI2006-13390-C02-0
An Orientation Service for Dependent People Based on an Open Service Architecture
This article describes a service architecture for ambient assisted liv ing and in particular an orientation navigation service in open places for persons
with memory problems such as those patients suffering from Alzheimer’s in its
early stages. The service has the following characteristics: one-day system
autonomy; self-adjusting interfaces for simple interaction with patients, based
on behavioural patterns to predict routes and destinations and to detect lost
situations; easy browsing through simple spoken commands and use of photo graphs for reorientation, and independence of GISs (Geographic Information
Systems) to reduce costs and increase accessibility. Initial testing results of the
destination prediction algorithm are very positive. This system is integrated in a
global e-health/e-care home service architecture platform (OSGi) that enables
remote management of services and devices and seamless integration with other
home service domains.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TSI2006-13390-C02-0

An analysis and proposal for the work of social workers in psychopedagogical services in schools in the Valencian Autonomous Community
Los Trabajadores Sociales de Educación de la provincia de Alicante nos planteamos la necesidad de actualizar las funciones que la normativa de la, denominada en su día, Conselleria de Educación y Ciencia nos marca, dentro de los Servicios Psicopedagógicos Escolares (SPE) y Gabinetes Psicopedagógicos Municipales (GPM) de la Comunidad Autónoma Valenciana. Los motivos vienen determinados por considerar una normativa obsoleta (Orden 10 de marzo de 1995), una realidad social y educativa cambiante que determinan nuevas demandas hacia el trabajador social de educación, y la configuración de un perfil profesional que nos diferencie de otros profesionales que también intervienen en el ámbito socio-educativo. Este documento es el resultado del trabajo realizado inicialmente por un grupo de trabajadores sociales de educación (a partir de ahora TRASO) de la Provincia de Alicante y consensuado, finalmente, en el I Encuentro de Trabajadores Sociales de Educación de la Comunidad Autónoma Valenciana en diciembre de 2016.As social workers in education in the province of Alicante we consider it necessary to update our roles as described in the regulations of the Regional Council of Education and Science, within the School Psychopedagogical Services and the Municipal Educational Psychopedagogical Services of the Autonomous Community of Valencia. We propose these changes because the regulations are outdated (1995), and because of the need to reflect the changing educational and social reality. In addition, the work of social workers in the educational field has changed, and social workers need their own professional profile that is differentiated from that of other professionals who work in the field of education. This document is the result of the work of a group of social workers in the educational field in the province of Alicante. It was approved by the first meeting of social workers in the educational field in the Autonomous Community of Valencia in December of 2016
A collaborative standard-based mobile telemonitoring platform
Telemedicine is becoming an increasingly important approach to diagnostic, treat or prevent diseases. However, the usage of Information Communication Technologies in healthcare results in a considerable amount of data that must be efficiently and securely transmitted. Many manufacturers provide telemedicine platforms without regarding interoperability, mobility and collaboration. This paper describes a collaborative mobile telemonitoring platform that can use the IEEE 11073 and HL7 communication standards or adapt proprietary protocols. The proposed platform also covers the security and modularity aspects. Furthermore this work introduces an Android-based prototype implementatio
A holistic approach to the sustainable empowerment of the ageing society
This paper presents a new European initiative to support the sustainable empowerment of the ageing society. Empowerment in this context represents the capability to have a self-determined, autonomous and healthy life. The paper justifies the need of such an initiative and highlights the role that telemedicine and ambient assisted living can play in this environment
An adaptive driving system regarding energy-efficiency and safety
Energy-efficiency and safety became an important factor for car manufacturers. Thus, the cars have been optimised regarding the energy consumption and safety by optimising for example the power train or the engine. Besides the optimisation of the car itself, energy-efficiency and safety can also be increased by adapting the individual driving behaviour to the current driving situation. This paper introduces a driving system, which is in development. Its goal is to optimise the driving behaviour in terms of energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations to the driver. For the creation of a recommendation the driving system monitors the driver and the current driving situation as well as the car using in-vehicle sensors and serial-bus systems. On the basis of the acquired data, the driving system will give individual energy-efficiency and safety recommendations in real-time. This will allow eliminating bad driving habits, while considering the driver needs
