Due to advances in wireless network technology, new applications are designed in medical and health care domain. Medical personnel efficiency has increased by using these new tools and applications. Patient of young and elderly people as well as smart houses equipped with sensors and information technologies are subject to discussion. Patients wear sensors to monitor vital signs reported in real-time...
In the constantly evolving smart building context, an important aspect to address is devices and applications interoperability. The FCINT project provides a service-oriented management framework for smart building facilities through the use of ontologies, intelligent controllers and a Web-based portal. The alarms system presented in this paper is part of the effort to provide a proper framework for...
The paper presents a solution with the server components from a teleassistance / tele-monitoring system to assist elderly persons and/or post-discharged patients. The system consists of units located at the homes of the monitored persons collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors and a call centre with a server for recording and monitoring the data. Specialized staff will support...
This work aims to create a Web platform in order to assist in the Aedes Aegypti mosquito's proliferation. The Geographic Information System SAPIO (SIG-SAPIO) is part of a project denominated Acquisition and Image Processing Ovitraps System (SAPIO). It is being used for obtaining and processing ovitraps - traps where the mosquito's eggs are deposited - and automate the counting of eggs. The analysis...
GSM communications and Web Based Telemetry have allowed Liander to deploy a large population of Fault Passage Indicators across their network, integrating the data with their Energy Management System, to effectively reduce the number of customer minutes lost.
Ubiquitous and pervasive applications are aware of the context of the used resources. This class of application can benefit from mechanisms to discover resources (devices and sensors) that meet their requirements and mechanisms to monitor the state and provide access to the functionalities of these resources. We present an architecture that includes two essential services to compose the supporting...
Trust in software services is a key prerequisite for the success and wide adoption of services-oriented computing (SOC) in an open Internet world. However, trust is poorly assessed by existing methods and technologies, especially in dynamically composed and deployed SOC systems. In this paper, we discuss current methods for assessing trust in service-oriented computing and identify gaps of current...
Due to the dynamically evolving attribute, validation of composite services must be extended from design time to run-time. Dynamical verification techniques, such as runtime monitoring, have been first class activities to be performed during the execution of composite services. For a kind of composite services, nonfunctional properties, such as timed properties, are as important as functional properties...
In 2005, Osaka University, in Japan, started an international educational program called, Pacific Rim International University (PRIUS), on top of the Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA) research framework. The PRIUS framework is based on and similar to that of the PRIME program at the University of California San Diego. Through the PRIUS program, Osaka University has explored...
One under-addressed issue in the field of Web services composition is authentication between disparate services using different authentication methods or protocols. A single sign-on (SSO) framework reduces the burden on the end user to provide authentication credentials to these separate services; thus it is a desirable feature for systems and applications that are based on multiple Web services....
Introduction. Self-measurement of blood pressure at home (a.k.a. home blood pressure = HBP) is accepted by the international medical guidelines as an effective procedure for the management of arterial hypertension and is increasingly popular among hypertensive patients. This, however, transfers on the patientspsila side the responsibility of data acquisition, storage and management. PAOLINA represents...
Need of existence of software platform, which will allow us to monitor the patients bio-parameters and provide us with services which help with full health care, is more than relevant these days. Increasing amount of information, a new trend in home health care or desire of individuals to increase their life quality are only some aspects which confirm this need. Project Guardian concerns with this...
The objective of this project is to develop a telemedicine information monitoring system, the composition of which primarily includes wireless vital sign monitoring devices, a healthcare gateway and a health services information platform. Of these three pillars, the healthcare gateway plays the intermediary role. The system also adopts the open services gateway initiative (OSGi) platform, which can...
Runtime monitoring is significantly essential for web service compositions. For a kind of composite services, nonfunctional properties, such as timed properties, are as important as functional properties and need to be monitored in runtime. In this paper, we extend properly sequence chart into timed properly sequence chart and propose a new approach to monitor two kinds of timed properties in web...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile embedded systems has been matched by the evolution of a variety of wireless network standards and technologies. The major constraints of wireless embedded systems are limitations of communication bandwidth, processing capabilities, and battery power. Remote wireless embedded systems often act as sensors, which provide data to a certain community. The exchange of data...
