In this paper, we discuss data models and data mining for bicycles in Smart Cities. Mobility issues (or Smart Mobility) are one of the main components of Smart Cities. Bicycles, as a transport component in the cities, are on the rise all over the world. At least, it is true for all areas where the climate even minimally allows it. The reasons are quite obvious. This is democratic and accessible this...
In this paper, we discuss a new model for context-aware computing in 5G networks in the context of emergency services. Our intention is to present a new model for mobile services (mobile web applications) that effectively harnesses the power of 5G networks. The true power of 5G networks is to enable applications that were previously not possible. In our model, we create a mirror (duplicate copy) for...
In this paper, we discuss educational courses for Internet of Things and related areas such as Machine to Machine communications and Smart Cities. The Internet of Things models introduce many new business prospects and, of course, they should be presented in the university curriculum. The purpose of the discussed educational program is to examine issues related to information and communication technologies...
In this article, we consider a service model based on network proximity and using Bluetooth. In this connection, we consider services based on the Core Bluetooth as well as services based on Bluetooth Low Energy. In particular, we present our vision on the applicability of Bluetooth Low Energy for positioning applications. This paper also provides specific models for Bluetooth network proximity based...
The paper discusses the undergoing network architecture massive transformation, primarily by virtualization and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies. Network Functions Virtualization consolidates many network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches, and storage, which could be located in Data Centers, Network Nodes and in the end user premises. However, the question...
The Physical Web is a generic term describes interconnection of physical objects and web. The Physical Web lets to present physical objects in a web. There are different ways to do that and we will discuss them in our paper. Usually, the web presentation for a physical object could implement with the help of mobile devices. The basic idea behind the Physical Web is to navigate and control physical...
In this paper, we present the Physical Web Browser project for web applications depending on the environment. At this moment, many of users all over the world visit websites using their mobile devices only. Any mobile device (e.g., smartphone) has sensors to capture the environmental information. This information (context) could be analyzed and used within the web applications. There are, at least,...
In this paper, we discuss the physical web projects based on network proximity for Smart Cities. In general, the Physical Web is an approach for connecting any physical object to the web. With this approach, we can navigate and control physical objects in the world surrounding mobile devices. Alternatively, we can execute services on mobile devices, depending on the surrounding physical objects. Technically,...
Internet messengers and social networks have become an integral part of modern digital life. We have in mind not only the interaction between individual users but also a variety of applications that exist in these applications. Typically, applications for social networks use the universal login system and rely on data from social networks. Also, such applications are likely to get more traction when...
This paper discusses the challenges of the Internet of Things programming. Sensing and data gathering from the various sources are often the key elements of applications for Smart Cities. So, the effective programming models for them are very important. In this article, we discuss system software models and solutions, rather than network related aspects. In our paper, we present the web-based domain-specific...
This paper discusses the system aspects of the development of applied programming interfaces in Software-Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is a prospect software enablement for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). So, application layer SDN API will be the main application API for WSN. Almost all existing SDN interfaces use so-called Representational State Transfer (REST) services as a basic model. This model...
This paper presents a new approach for hyperlocal data sharing and delivery on the base of discoverable Bluetooth nodes. Our approach allows customers to associate user-defined data with network nodes and use a special mobile application (context-aware browser) for presenting this information to mobile users in proximity. Alternatively, mobile services can request and share local data in M2M applications...
This paper discusses the global unified standards for software products and existing approaches (de-facto standards). Using specific examples of interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy tags we compared existing approaches to the development and the proposed global standards (FI-WARE). Can a unified approach to the creation of services to cover all the possible use cases and scenarios for new services?...
This paper describes a new model for local messaging based on the network proximity. We present a novelty mobile mashup which combines Wi-Fi proximity measurements with Cloud Messaging. Our mobile mashup combines passive monitoring for smart phones and cloud based messaging for mobile operational systems. Passive monitoring can determine the location of mobile subscribers (mobile phones, actually)...
The paper introduces a new approach for using wireless sensors on mobile phones for integrating data from social networks. We describe existing models for integrating sensors and social networks, as well as propose a new practical approach for social context-aware data discovery that uses mobile phone as proximity sensor. Our concept uses wireless networks sensors from mobile phones (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)...
This paper discusses the specific area of M2M applications - Wired Smart Home. It contains the overview of requirements to Wired Smart Home in the scope of energy metering, security, and emergency communications. We consider ETSI activities on M2M standardization, Open Metering System specification, and Emergency Communications. In the field of software issues, we offer a newer web tool - Web Intents...
This paper discusses context-aware data browsing and data retrieval for mobile subscribers. We describe existing models as well as provide a new description for our SpotEx approach. Our model for context-aware data discovery uses mobile phones as proximity sensors. In our concept, any existing or even specially created wireless network node could be used as a presence sensor that can open (discover)...
This paper describes one practical approach for creating context-aware browser for mobile subscribers. Our model uses mobile phone as proximity sensor. In our concept, any existing or even especially created Wi-Fi hot spot or Bluetooth node could be used as presence sensor that can open (discover) access for some content. In our approach we can discover hyper local data as info snippets that are valid...
This paper describes a new possible model for distributing hyper-local data across subscribers. This new model uses Wi-Fi proximity approach as a service. According to this concept, any exiting or even especially created Wi-Fi hot spot could be used as presence sensor that can trigger access for some user-generated information snippets. In this approach we can discover hyper local data as information...
This paper describes the current state of open APIs for M2M applications as well as proposes a couple of possible changes and extensions. Open API provides a portable platform for services that may be replicated and ported between different execution environments and hardware platforms. The more elaborated specification to date, presented as an Application Programming Interface (Open API) from ETSI,...
