With the current Internet bandwidth capacities and machine processing performance the personal computer has become an affordable and flexible multimedia platform for high quality audio and video content. Besides the delivery of services such as TV, telephone and radio, the Internet can also be used for the instantaneous bidirectional exchange of musical information. Due to the variety and complexity of already existing remote music and communication approaches, an elaboration on this topic is mandatory, which covers any relevant musical, technical or interdisciplinary aspect of remote musical interaction. Therefore, this chapter gives an overview of currently applied technologies and possibilities with their theoretical background.

Abstract Motivation Since its launch in 2010, Identifiers.org has become an important tool for the annotation and cross-referencing of Life Science data. In 2016, we established the Compact Identifier (CID) scheme (prefix: accession) to generate globally unique identifiers for data resources using their locally assigned accession identifiers. Since then, we have developed and improved services to support the growing need to create, reference and resolve CIDs, in systems ranging from human readable text to cloud-based e-infrastructures, by providing high availability and low-latency cloud-based services, backed by a high-quality, manually curated resource. Results We describe a set of services that can be used to construct and resolve CIDs in Life Sciences and beyond. We have developed a new front end for accessing the Identifiers.org registry data and APIs to simplify integration of Identifiers.org CID services with third-party applications. We have also deployed the new Identifiers.org infrastructure in a commercial cloud environment, bringing our services closer to the data. Availabilityand implementation https://identifiers.org.

[abstFig src='/00290001/19.jpg' width='300' text='Human-voice enhancement system for a hose-shaped robot' ] This paper presents the design and implementation of a two-stage human-voice enhancement system for a hose-shaped rescue robot. When a microphone-equipped hose-shaped robot is used to search for a victim under a collapsed building, human-voice enhancement is crucial because the sound captured by a microphone array is contaminated by the ego-noise of the robot. For achieving both low latency and high quality, our system combines online and offline human-voice enhancement, providingan overview first and then details on demand. The online enhancement is used for searching for a victim in real time, while the offline one facilitates scrutiny by listening to highly enhanced human voices. Our online enhancement is based on an online robust principal component analysis, and our offline enhancement is based on an independent low-rank matrix analysis. The two enhancement methods are integrated with Robot Operating System (ROS). Experimental results showed that both the online and offline enhancement methods outperformed conventional methods.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) enables numerous in-vehicle applications for smart cities, driving increasing service demands for processing various contents (e.g., videos). Generally, for efficient service delivery, the contents from the service providers are processed on the edge servers (ESs), as edge computing offers vehicular applications low-latency services. However, due to the reusability of the same contents required by different distributed vehicular users, processing the copies of the same contents repeatedly in an edge server leads to a waste of resources (e.g., storage, computation, and bandwidth) in ESs. Therefore, it is a challenge to provide high-quality services while guaranteeing the resource efficiency with edge content caching. To address the challenge, an edge content caching method for smart cities with service requirement prediction, named E-Cache, is proposed. First, the future service requirements from the vehicles are predicted based on the deep spatiotemporal residual network (ST-ResNet). Then, preliminary content caching schemes are elaborated based on the predicted service requirements, which are further adjusted by a many-objective optimization aiming at minimizing the execution time and the energy consumption of the vehicular services. Eventually, experimental evaluations prove the efficiency and effectiveness of E-Cache with spatiotemporal traffic trajectory big data.
