Text detection and communication in the automotive context has attracted the attention of researchers only over the past few years. Detecting text in the automotive context, as opposed to the detection of text of printed pages, imposes additional challenges, such as the presence of obstacles, blurry frames, speedy vehicles, etc. In this paper, we present an in-vehicle real-time system able to localize...
Recent advances in wireless technologies and mobile computing are opening brand new opportunities for context-aware services, namely services able to tailor their behavior according to current execution context. Starting from the core assumption that only effective and efficient context distribution can pave the way to the deployment of truly context-aware services, this paper proposes a novel Peer-to-Peer...
This paper address the challenge of design a feasible social-based mechanism to manage wireless mobile connectivity. In a previous work, we proposed a methodology to share connectivity experiences among mobile users inside on-line social networks [11]. The aim was explore peoples social circles to enhance their wireless connectivity experiences e.g., QoS metrics such as: throughput, latency and signal...
Context-aware scenarios require the distribution of large amounts of context data over fixed wireless infrastructures. The opportunistic usage of mobile nodes as data carriers has received a great deal of interests in recent years in order to increase system scalability. In this paper, we focus on the overhead introduced by context distribution on mobile devices, and we highlight the need of resource-aware...
Disaster area scenarios are the consequence of sudden and unexpected disasters due to either human or natural causes, such as terrorist attacks and earthquakes. Towards the main goal of saving as many human lives as possible, context-aware services are emerging as standard-de-facto solutions to improve the coordination of involved rescue teams. Unfortunately, the scarce resources (communication bandwidth,...
