Mobile applications are increasingly taking advantage of sophisticated Location‐Based Services (LBSs). Currently, most available LBSs rely upon centralized infrastructures, thus raising serious concerns as regards user privacy. Because of that, researchers proposed a number of interesting decentralized, peer‐to‐peer protocols for LBSs, although their effectiveness and efficiency was mostly evaluated...
One envisioned distinctive feature of smart cities is the interconnection among mobile users and vehicles, to support the fulfillment of location-based services. This can be obtained with centralized architectures, and with all the problems of scalability and robustness that such a solution involves. On the other hand, a more complex but more reliable, completely distributed approach can overcome...
In this paper we illustrate a cost-effective software-in-the-loop simulation methodology, which is particularly suitable for testing large-scale pervasive systems and applications. The main advantage of such an approach is that real code has to be deployed once, and a general-purpose simulation engine replicates it over virtual devices and environments as often as we wish. Our implementation of the...
