<p>An embedded system is a microcontroller or microprocessor-based system which is designed to perform a specific task by collecting, processing and communicating information. While focusing on specific task, it is also desired to make such system for better and efficient result. In due course, one of the challenges is contextualizing the collected information to predict the output and making smart decision to produce the output. The learning system that can contextualize the surrounding environment should have a capability of automatic mechanism of inferring information like humans do. This calls for neural networks that provide an embedded intelligence for smart systems to make decisions at machine speed. The main challenge to develop such system is the constraints in memory size, computational power and other characteristics of embedded system that can significantly restrict developers from implementing learning algorithms to solve the problem. This paper resents lightweight neural networks so as to show a method for implementing context-aware embedded system in environment where there is resource limitation. A testbed is setup for collecting the data, training and evaluation. The algorithms are simulated using C on Arduino. A good result was obtained after deploying the algorithm and knowledgebase on Arduino board for sensor reading.</p>

Achieving lightweight construction through only material substitution does not realize the full potential of producing a lightweight material, hence, it is no longer sufficient. Weight-saving goals are best achieved through additional function integration. In order to implement this premise for mass production, a manufacturing process for joining and forming hybrid laminates using a new tool concept is presented. All materials used are widely producible and processable. The manufactured cover of an automotive center console serves to demonstrate a human interface device with impact detection and action execution. This is only possible through a machine learning system, which is implemented on a small—and thus space- and energy-saving—embedded system. The measurement results confirm the objective and show that localization was sufficiently accurate.

Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous methodologies and tools, providing application for learning and teaching field. On the basis of the widespread use of wireless devices and mobile computing technology, this study proposes a context-aware plant ecology learning system (CAPELS) based on context-aware technology; adapting deep neural networks (DNN) and leaf vein and shape identification algorithm which can identify plant leaves, this system automatically provides relevant botanical and growth environment knowledge to the learners. Therefore, during outdoor education, it can assist learners in accurately obtaining the required relevant botanical and growth environment knowledge. The experimental results indicate that students who used CAPELS performed better learning about plant ecology than those who did not. We also delivered questionnaires to those who used CAPELS and analyzed the results by using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The results have shown that CAPELS can encourage student’s learning motivation and thus improve their learning effectiveness. Thus, CAPELS provides a new educational platform for promoting ecology learning approach and effectively improves student learning efficiency and motivation.

The approach proposed in this chapter called flipped classroom based on context-aware mobile learning system (FC-CAMLS) aims to provide learners with an adapted course content format based on their feedback and context. The latter has a significant influence on multimedia content in adaptive mobile learning. The contribution was applied in the context of the flipped learning in order to manage the heterogeneity of context imposed by this approach. Firstly, the authors present a quantitative analysis by means of structural equation modeling to analyze the causal relationships of knowledge, skills, and motivation with students' satisfaction. Secondly, they confirm that the proposed flipped classroom has positive effects on students' knowledge, skills, and motivation. Finally, the research provides useful results that the use of the context dimensions and learner feedback in adaptive mobile learning is more beneficial for learners especially in the flipped classroom.
