The work of this paper is done within the context of European Project E! 9770 i-Light, which aims at developing intelligent systems based on smart luminaries for building monitoring. The work presented in this paper extends the work from i-Light project towards a smart guiding system for buildings. The system is based on the use of smart luminaries and drones. One of the main targets of such a system...
Academic and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to smaller ones massively distributed at the edge of the network. Among the obstacles to the adoption of this model is the development of a convenient and powerful IaaS system capable of managing a significant number of remote data-centers in a unified way. In this paper, we introduce...
Recently diverse testbeds are built to experiment and verify new service ideas on SDN/Cloud-leveraged networking. In the early stage of verification, easy and speedy execution of experiments is required. Thus, in this paper, we introduce S-Box virtualized playground, where lightweight experiments are automatically executed only with the virtualized resources in a single box. The proposed S-Box concept...
In this paper, we present IPSOS Assistance, a cloud enabled mobile application for indoor assisted living in case of emergency situations in indoor environments. Such an indoor emergency response application is aimed at giving people assistance in case of personal and environmental emergency (e.g., showing available escape routes in case of fire), taking advantage from the social contribution of other...
We have recently proposed a resilient network architecture based on a movable unit. The unit, which we call Movable and Deployable ICT Resource Unit or MDRU, hosts the resources required to offer ICT services. To confirm the effectiveness of the architecture, we develop a prototype MDRU and test bed environment and conduct an evaluation of the architecture. This paper reports the results of concept...
The aim of this paper is to present a prototype LocNet API programming interface for indoor positioning systems and a prototype LocFusion API interface enabling joint use of terminal positioning data from mobile operator's GMLC and the LocNet API. The use of data from complementary information sources can improve the accuracy of user terminal positioning in large buildings, where coverage of satellite...
In this paper, we introduce an asynchronous collaborative support System introducing access control which can provide a flexible mechanism to store the current collaborative virtual environments (CVE) space, replay the past recorded CVE space and replace the current CVE by other past CVE space. Revision Tree with hierarchical 3D structure is visualized in space and operated by users to refer the past...
Computer telephony integration (CTI) allows a computer application to access features from a telephone device or telephony network. Traditional CTI applications are commonly proprietary-based, platform dependent and usually designed and implemented by telephony experts. Whereas the Web started with simple static pages, new models, like the service oriented architecture allow application designers...
