Ready to unlock the smartness potential? Engaging customers, employees and organizations with smart products in service systems Ghent University
HCCI tool: a lens to support industrial designers during the conceptualisation of smart products Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre Ghent University
Interactions between humans and smart products (i.e. digital components integrated in physical Internet of Things devices) are becoming more complex and less visible. Yet designers lack tools to capture these interactions and incorporate them into their design. In this paper we present the Human-Computer-Context Interaction (HCCI) tool that helps the designer to consider the different interactions of the user early in the conceptualisation ...
EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation - Tough Tests for Smart Products University of Antwerp
The European Commission has finally published its much-anticipated proposal for a broad regulation to cover the use of artificial intelligence in the EU. This is a world-first – no other jurisdiction has yet taken a step of this nature, and with an ambitious timeline seemingly in the Commission’s sights, it is clear Europe is determined to lead the world in this important area of technology policy.
Smart city services creation and the living lab approach: testimony from the EPIC project Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of the EPIC project was to examine the needs, requirements and added value of a pan European 'smart city' delivery platform for leading ICT companies, specialist SMEs, Living Labs and established and future Smart Cities. Its objective was therefore to explore the particular implications of the cloud platform paradigm as the basis for a pan-European service delivery platform so as to enable a more holistic approach in making European ...
Refactoring solidity smart contracts to protect against reentrancy exploits University of Antwerp
Solidity is the dominant programming language for specifying smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain platform. Smart contracts permit the exchange of cryptocurrency, and hence are vulnerable to security attacks, most notably reentrancy exploits. Extensions to the solidity language, therefore, provide safer alternatives via special-purpose syntactic constructs. Based on an analysis of 26,799 contracts actually deployed on the Ethereum ...
Can Intraoperative Intra-Articular Loads Predict Postoperative Knee Joint Laxity Following Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Cadaver Study with Smart Tibial Trays KU Leuven
Ligament balancing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often relies on subjective surgeon experience. Although instrumented tibial trays facilitate an objective assessment of intraoperative joint balance through quantification of intra-articular joint loads, postoperative clinical assessment of joint balance relies on passive stress tests quantifying varus–valgus joint laxity. This study aimed at correlating the intraoperative and postoperative ...
Introducing Smart Grids in Flanders: the Linear project KU Leuven
Linear (Local Intelligent Networks and Energy Active Regions) is a large-scale project about smart grids. It is collaboration between industry and research institutes. The Flemish government, as well as the industry, support the project financial with budgets for innovation. The project is carried out by a consortium of around twenty partners and will last 5 years (2009-2014). This project is crucial for Flanders to realize a transition towards ...
The DiY Smart Experiences Project Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this chapter we discuss the wide range of challenges in user-generated Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, as being worked on among the large consortium of the DiY Smart Experiences project (DiYSE, ITEA2 08005).
The chapter starts with a discussion on the context of \'DiY\' as a phenomenon to be leveraged, and eco-awareness as an example application area. Then, the main body of the chapter is devoted to the technical outline of the ...
