We are witnessing a tremendous hype on the Internet of Things paradigm, with not only research projects, but also commercial products claiming to implement its fundamental mechanisms. Smart-connected-objects designers often have to face decisions on the global architecture of the service, since no single solution is valid for all the cases. In this paper, we explore the different criteria for designing...
Tiny, wireless, sensors embedded in a large number of Internet-capable devices-smart phones, cameras, cars, toys, medical instruments, home appliances and energy meters-can generate an enormous volume of small bits of data such as temperature and humidity readings, GPS co-ordinates and energy usage. The real value of this data lies in its analysis, which can lead to significant insights and actions...
There is a growing interest in building Internet-scale sensor networks that integrate sensors from around the world into a single unified system. In contrast, robotics application development has primarily focused on building specialized systems. These specialized systems take scalability and reliability into consideration, but generally neglect exploring the key components required to build a large...
An increasing number of embedded devices of all sorts (sensors, mobile phones, cameras, smart meters, traffic lights, home appliances etc.) are now capable of communicating and sharing data over the Internet. We have developed a web-based infrastructure called Sensor.Network for storing, sharing, searching, visualizing and analyzing data from heterogeneous devices and facilitating easy interaction...
In this paper we report our research on the development of an open web-based architecture for controlling the behavior of systems composed of static sensors, mobile sensors and unmanned vehicles. We document the first implementation of the architecture and describe its application to our vehicles and sensors. We discuss the validation of this implementation in real-world deployments where one or more...
When emergency services are in a crisis situation, one of their major needs is to have efficient communication. Every person involved needs to have the most up-to-date and relevant information at all times and needs to be able to communicate with his colleagues effectively. In order to support this, it is important that the network used by the emergency services supports all necessary communication...
