Abstract
Wiki-based crowdsourced repositories have increasingly become an important source of information for users in multiple domains. However, as the amount of wiki-based data increases, so does the information overloading for users. Wikis, and in general crowdsourcing platforms, raise trustability questions since they do not generally store user background data, making the recommendation of pages particularly hard to rely on. In this context, this work explores scalable multi-criteria profiling using side information to model the publishers and pages of wiki-based crowdsourced platforms. Based on streams of publisher-page-review triads, we have modelled publishers and pages in terms of quality and popularity using different criteria and user-page-view events collected via a wiki platform. Our modelling approach classifies statistically, both page-review (quality) and pageview (popularity) events, attributing an appropriate rating. The quality-related information is then merged employing Multiple Linear Regression as well as a weighted average. Based on the quality and popularity, the resulting page profiles are then used to address the problem of recommending the most interesting wiki pages per destination to viewers. This paper also explores the parallelisation of profiling and recommendation algorithms using wiki-based crowdsourced distributed data repositories as data streams via incremental updating. The proposed method has been successfully evaluated using Wikivoyage, a tourism crowdsourced wiki-based repository.

Abstract
Information can be conveyed to the user by means of a narrative, modeled according to the user’s context. A case in point is the weather, which can be perceived differently and with distinct levels of importance according to the user’s context. For example, for a blind person, the weather is an important element to plan and move between locations. In fact, weather can make it very difficult or even impossible for a blind person to successfully negotiate a path and navigate from one place to another. To provide proper information, narrated and delivered according to the person’s context, this paper proposes a project for the creation of weather narratives, targeted at specific types of users and contexts. The proposal’s main objective is to add value to the data, acquired through the observation of weather systems, by interpreting that data, in order to identify relevant information and automatically create narratives, in a conversational way or with machine metadata language. These narratives should communicate specific aspects of the evolution of the weather systems in an efficient way, providing knowledge and insight in specific contexts and for specific purposes. Currently, there are several language generator’ systems, which automatically create weather forecast reports, based on previously processed and synthesized information. This paper, proposes a wider and more comprehensive approach to the weather systems phenomena, proposing a full process, from the raw data to a contextualized narration, thus providing a methodology and a tool that might be used for various contexts and weather systems. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
In this work we demonstrate the multiplexing capability of new optical fiber Fabry-Perot interferometers based on air-microcavities using a commercial FBG interrogator. Three optimized air-microcavity interferometer sensors have been multiplexed in a single network and have been monitored using the commercial FBGs interrogator in combination with FFT calculations. Results show a sensitivity of 2.18 pi rad/m epsilon and a crosstalk-free operation.

Abstract
Although Finite-State Automata (FSA) have been successfully used in modeling and control of Discrete Event Systems (DESs), they are limited to represent complex and advanced features of DESs, such as context recognition and switching. The literature has suggested that a FSA can nevertheless be enriched with parameters properly collected from the modeled system, so that this favors design and control. A parameter can be embedded either on transitions or states. However, each approach is structured within a specific framework, so that their comparison and integration are not straightforward and they may lead to different control solutions, modeled, computed and implemented using distinct strategies. In this paper, we show how to combine advantages from parameters in modeling and control of DESs. Each approach is structured and their advantages are identified and exemplified. Then, we propose a conversion method that allows to translate a design-friendly model into a synthesis-efficient structure. Examples illustrate the approach. © 2019 IEEE.
