The latest approaches for flexible assembly and process-integrated quality control of large components require global metrologic reference systems for various tasks, e.g. navigation of mobile transport units, control of cooperating robots or local inspection with handheld devices. While cooperative and competitive approaches for data fusion of multi-sensor metrologic systems already exist, a reference...
Kings Eye is a platform independent situational awareness prototype for smart devices. Platform independence is important as there are more and more soldiers bringing their own devices, with different operating systems, into the field. The concept of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a low-cost approach to equipping soldiers with situational awareness tools and by this it is important to facilitate...
This paper presents a prototype system, designed and developed exploiting the Internet of Things paradigm and its related technologies with altruistic purposes. In fact, the system here described involves the iBeacon technology and BLE-capable smart phones, put to good use to provide an altruistic Internet of Things (IoT) platform. In particular, we implemented a mobile application, for iOS and Android...
Uploading of huge files to cloud servers through mobile communication has been becoming more popular in recent years. However, current uploading throughput is frequently limited due to bottlenecks in server processing ability and/or narrow bandwidth sections of networks. For this study, we aimed to improve the user experience of uploading in future wireless access environments. We propose a novel...
With the growing popularity of mobile apps, the security issues of mobile apps become critical. Similar to traditional cyber security, mobile security includes authentication, data integrity, and data privacy. Seed-based authentication is a novel approach for mobile systems. The key idea is to extract seeds from files such as images and generate random numbers for authentication. However, in seed-based...
Serious disasters have been annually occurred in Japan. Particularly, in the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, the communication infrastructure was seriously damaged over wide areas. Due to such situation, more resilient network infrastructure that does not stop under challenged communication environment is required. In this paper, we propose a disaster information system...
Providing robust content delivery service, such as Video on Demand, with efficient wireless resource usage is important for mobile users. To achieve this, we have proposed a proactive content caching scheme utilizing transportation systems (e.g., train.) Because our previous prototype is immature and has a scalability issue, in this paper, we introduce efficient transmission mechanism of Interest...
The proliferation of Social Networking Services (SNS) has highlighted the need of providing reliable but efficient mechanism to report information from mobile users to the data center. In this paper, a mechanism to reduce periodic update of position and sensor data for activities recognition from mobile device is proposed. To improve the reporting mechanism, variance analysis from sensor data captured...
This poster presents new perspectives for open and trusted mobile applications. The Near Field Communication (NFC) radio interface is widely available for smartphones. It is usually involved in payments, access control, and transport services. We describe an open experimental platform, developed by the MOBISIM project. The prototype provides contactless payments in legacy frameworks. It comprises...
In large organizations, handling personnel authorization for access to various sites within the building has always proved to be a challenge for security departments. In this work, we develop a prototype that utilizes an identity-based identification scheme to provide access control for incoming and outgoing personnel from the building, as well as their activities within. Our prototype is built using...
The paper discusses about the multiple application prototype and a test called the ‘NfcShop Test’ carried in order to evaluate the usability of the same. The approach developed by us will allow the user to buy railway tickets, make hotel payments and pay for car parking, all by just tapping a Near Field Communication (NFC) device/Mobile on the Universal Receiver placed at point of sale (POS) terminal...
Traffic localisation is an important aspect of traffic management on the Internet. The caching of content and its distribution from localised servers is one mechanism that enables traffic localisation and reduces transit costs for network providers while enhancing service performance. However, personalized, dynamic user content is often un-cacheable due to its nature. As we move towards a world of...
A smart evacuation needs a scalable and flexible system to provide service in both emergency and normal situations. A single cloud service is usually limited to support scaling up requirements in an emergency, especially one with a large geographic scope. In this article, the authors propose MCES, a multicloud architecture that deploys smart evacuation services in multiple cloud providers and that...
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...
Object detection is one of the main challenges of cyber-physical systems for mobile applications. Mobile devices as embedded systems might not provide sufficient performance to meet the computational requirements for object detection, whereas it is not reasonable to enhance such devices with powerful processors. In this paper, we present a prototype system for mobile object detection based on smartphones...
Through we experienced at the Eastern Japan Great Earthquake on March 11, 2011, a disaster information gathering systems are strongly needed to widely collect the disaster state around the evaluated areas, correctly analyze the degree of damages and quickly make decision of disaster recovery response. For this requirement, a mobile video surveillance system on a vehicle based on wireless network is...
Application mobility is a subcategory of service mobility, being defined as the process of migrating applications between different hosts during application execution. In this paper we present a decentralized architecture for web-based adaptive application mobility, using the WebRTC framework. To the best of our knowledge, our proposal is the first of its kind within the area. It is our purpose to...
Currently, cellular operators are struggling to relieve congestion on their networks in the face of rapidly growing mobile data traffic. While deploying an increasing number of base stations is expected to mitigate the disproportion between user demand and available radio resources, this solution is costly and plagued with many practical challenges. An attractive alternative is to enable cellular...
In this article, we propose a web-based system, called MoCHA display, for rich interactions between pervasive displays and users with a mobile device. Our scheme consists of a web-centric architecture, in which both the screen and the mobile device simply need to run a web browser. Our contributions are twofold. First, we develop a distributed architecture based on modern web technologies and cloud...
This paper presents a novel open-source implementation of a call center, which is compatible with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) platform, supporting call forwarding and dispatching services, along with video call and chat with file transfer. The proposed solution is called Call Center for IMS (CC4IMS) and following a requirement analysis, the paper discusses the overall architecture and design...
