The Internet of Things (IoT) is the result of many different enabling technologies such as embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, cloud computing, big-data, etc., which are used to gather, process, infer, and transmit data. Combining all these technologies requires a research effort to address all the challenges of these technologies, especially for sensing and delivering information from the...
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a versatile sensing system whose hardware resources are scarce and have to be carefully used and hence adapted to face with their context and resources changing. Moreover, WSN could be used in unreachable or dangerous places, hence their adaptation should be remotely managed. In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach able to generate agents governing the...
Recent advancement in ubiquitous healthcare evolves to new challenges in ubiquitous communications. Secure communication in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one of the important issues, especially, when WSN comes to ubiquitous healthcare, where security is main requirement in sensor devices, communication and continuous real-time monitoring of patient in hospital or home network. WSN requires efficient...
This paper presents a middleware that aims to respond to the increasing management needs of networked sensing devices, such as remote software deployment, dynamic configuration and real-time performance monitoring and tuning. These are essential functions for building adaptable systems providing high quality of service. Furthermore, autonomic management bears particular importance for large scale...
Information privacy is usually concerned with the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (PII), such as electronic medical records. Nowadays, Web services are used to support different applications which may contain PII, such as healthcare applications. Thus, the information access control mechanism for Web services must be embedded into privacy-enhancing technologies. Further as application...
