ActionSLAM: Using location-related actions as landmarks in pedestrian SLAM
TL;DR: A novel approach to Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) for pedestrian indoor tracking that makes use of body-mounted sensors and relies only on on-body sensing and requires no ambient infrastructure such as Wi-Fi access points or radio beacons.

Telecare services for aging people: Assessment of critical factors influencing the adoption intention
Sanna Sintonen,Mika Immonen +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the adoption behavior of individuals differs amongst potential telecare users, and understanding the context of use has particular importance in the design phase of telecare services.

Compression of individual sequences via variable-rate coding
Jacob Ziv,A. Lempel +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed concept of compressibility is shown to play a role analogous to that of entropy in classical information theory where one deals with probabilistic ensembles of sequences rather than with individual sequences.
