A Platform for Context-Aware Application Development: PCAD

This project introduces a service-based software platform based on the notion of context-awareness. The platform basically follows a middleware approach, which draws on the techniques taken from operating system design. The fundamental goal of the project is to develop a platform which simplifies the implementation of context-aware applications by relieving the applications from complex context data management issues. The platform separates context acquisition from the application code and handles many context data management issues on behalf of the applications. The fundamental design force behind the proposal is that it exhibits the qualities of an Operating System Design. In particular the platform is going to be agile, robust, and scalable

A Sensor Based Diagnosis Support System for Veterinary Physicians

Livestock is not only a good source of nutrition for human health, but by-products are also used in various sectors of the economy, creating extra value. The goal of this study is to gather livestock physiological data using sensors, store the data, and make it available to veterinary physicians to help them in the diagnosis of livestock diseases. The data collected from sensors and the symptomatic data acquired through observation is combined with livestock identification, which is then stored in a Veterinarian Diagnosis Support System used in the diagnoses of livestock diseases by veterinary physicians. Under this system, treatment can begin before serious financial loss occurs.
