Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) is no longer just a gimmick. 50 years after the development of the first head-mounted display, and approaching the 20th anniversary of the first conference dedicated to AR, it is time for a new review on the theme. As such, we present a bibliometric analysis of scientific literature since 1997, using as database the Web of Science. This allowed identifying the most relevant authors, their distribution by subjects, the evolution of publishing by year and the most frequent publications.

THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATIONS OF OPTICS AND PHOTONICS
Abstract
In this paper we analyse the effects of the Doppler shift on the optical response of a nanoplasmonic system. Through the development of a simplified model based on the Hydrodynamic Drude model we analyse the response of a quantum dot embed in a moving fluid, predicting the Doppler broadening and the shift of the spectral line.

Abstract
This paper briefly presents a new approach for helping developers identify energy hot spots in their applications. Using tests cases, and statistical methods based on Spectrum-based Fault Localization, high energy consumption is related to the system's source code and a ranking of possible energy leaks are pointed. This technique is both language independent, and context level independent. Initial studies have also shown that using this technique helped developers identify and optimize energy problems in half the time while improving the energy efficiency by 18%. © 2017 IEEE.

PATTERN RECOGNITION AND IMAGE ANALYSIS (IBPRIA 2017)
Abstract
Classification datasets, which feature a skewed class distribution, are said to be class imbalance. Traditional methods favor the larger classes. We propose pairwise ranking as a method for imbalance classification so that learning compares pairs of observations from each class, and therefore both contribute equally to the decision boundary. In previous work, we suggested treating the binary classification as a ranking problem, followed by a threshold mapping to convert back the ranking score to the original classes. In this work, the method is extended to multi-class ordinal classification, and a new mapping threshold is proposed. Results are compared with traditional and ordinal SVMs, and ranking obtains competitive results.

Abstract
This paper presents a low-power binary phase shift keying (BPSK) pulse generator for ultra-wide-band transmitters. The circuit has been designed based on LC-tank resonators using 0.13 um CMOS technology. Simulation shows -10dB bandwidth of around 3 GHz and power consumption of 2 mW at 100 MHz PRF. Peak-peak amplitude voltage for both symbols '1' and '0' are approximately as large as 1.2V supply voltage and can radiate enough energy to satisfy the FCC mask only by one pulse. Thus, the energy consumption is 20 pJ/pulse/bit. Pulse duration is 1.5 ns and the transmitter can reach data rates of 660 Mbps

Abstract
This paper proposes a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) as part of an organization-based Multi-Agent system that models the Smart Home Electricity System (MASHES). The proposed BEMS consists of an Energy Management System (EMS) and a Prediction Engine (PE). The considered Smart Home Electricity System (SHES) consists of different agents, each with different tasks in the system. In this context, smart homes are able to connect to the power grid to sell/buy electrical energy to/from the Local Electricity Market (LEM), and manage electrical energy inside of the smart home. Moreover, a Modified Stochastic Predicted Bands (MSPB) interval optimization method is used to model the uncertainty in the Building Energy Management (BEM) problem. A demand response program (DRP) based on time of use (TOU) rate is also used. The performance of the proposed BEMS is evaluated using a JADE implementation of the proposed organization-based MASHES.
