Smartphones have become popular mainly because of the large variety of applications they can run. In contrast, most devices in the phone's environment -- e.g., household appliances or environmental sensors -- are much less flexible because their functionality is hardcoded at the design time. In order to realize the vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), where all devices communicate with each other...
In this paper, we propose an OSGi-based service aware home networking system (SAHN), which coordinates the integrated heterogeneity of Internet interfaces and provides the service information exchange between mobile appliances of home networking and Internet service providers. The SAHN system further assists users to discover the home networking services via the Internet and to execute the chosen...
Access to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) from external applications will become a key aspect in order to successfully deploy this technology. This paper presents the Light-Weight Exterior Sensornet Protocol (LWESP), to enable the communication between applications and WSNs. This protocol is a combination of the Sensor Communication Language (SENCOMLNG) and the eXtensible Binary Enconding (XBE32)...
Sensor network applications are executed in diverse scenarios, different platforms and in an uncontrolled environment. The data aggregation and then handling the data at the middleware demands an approach to integrate functionalities of various interests from diverse network clusters. So instead of a proprietary solution for individual problems, it is desirable to have a platform independent service...
Deploying large-scale sensor networks involves the programming of many devices based on a desired mission. Techniques for reprogramming devices in situ have been investigated to mitigate the effort required when program updates are required or when the mission of the system changes. We consider a technique that is intended to support multiple concurrent missions by the system by exploiting available...
