This paper presents a new Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) suitable for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The restrictions that are imposed by ultra low-cost sensor and actuators devices (basic components of a WSN) are taken into account to reach a minimal footprint solution. The WSN communication model we use is based on the picoObject approach [1] which implements a lightweight middleware for...
In this paper a Commercial-off-the-Self (COTS) platform for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is presented. The goal of this work is to provide the industry with a flexible and efficient solution to smooth the integration and heterogeneous development challenges in this scenario. On one hand, the proposed platform enables transparent and efficient interaction with the control station implemented in ZeroC...
Monitoring smart cities is a key challenge due the variety of data streams generated from different process (traffic, human dynamics, pollution, energy supply, water supply, etc.). All these streams show us what is happening and as to where and when in the city. The purpose of this paper was to apply different types of glyphs for showing real-time stream evolution of data gathered in the city. The...
Lately, indoor navigation systems has been a hot topic for the research community with many different proposals to positioning people and keeping track of their movements. In this paper we go a step beyond designing an object-oriented distributed architecture for highly scalable indoor navigation systems. The idea behind this architecture is to provide assistance for people with different needs while...
We introduce a distributed-object based platform for managing, controlling and integrating large scale heterogeneous electrical installations. It provides support for advanced metering infrastructures and smart-grids. Objects provide services for managing electric magnitudes and appliances.
