Self-adaptive systems are modern applications in which the running software system should be able to react on its own, by dynamically adapting its behavior, for sustaining a required set of qualities of service, and dynamic changes in the context or in user requirements. They are typically involved in Future Internet development such as the Internet of Things where interoperability, flexibility, and...
Security, interoperability, scalability, and mobility support are key challenges for the Internet of Things (IoT). Information Centric Networking (ICN) is an emerging paradigm for the Future Internet design that brings all the potential to face these challenges thanks to name-driven networking primitives. As a matter of fact, ICN natively supports multicast, mobility, content oriented security, and...
Internet of Things (IoT) is the technique to connect each and everything to Internet, and it provides anything at anytime regardless of where the thing is located. If we connect devices in this way, by 2020, billions of devices will get connected to the Internet. The current trends shows that the deployment of sensors and IoT paradigm growing in a rapid pace. This shows that the next information revolution...
Internet of Things (IoT) will comprise billions of devices that can sense, communicate, compute and potentially actuate. The data generated by the Internet of Things are valuable and have the potential to drive innovative and novel applications. The data streams coming from these devices will challenge the traditional approaches to data management and contribute to the emerging paradigm of big data...
This paper describes SeSaMe, an RDF-enriched self-adaptive middleware for highly dynamic and autonomic complex systems. Semantic technologies make components of a system mutually interoperable and enable them to exchange information even when they are developed and deployed on different platforms. SeSaMe uses semantics to achieve dynamic component discovery and self-configurability in the network...
In this paper, a data acquisition and integration platform for internet of things is proposed. The platform is developed under a cloud computing environment using context-oriented approaches. It collects sensor data from different types of sensor devices, including such as RFID, ZigBee sensors, GPS devices, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, luminance sensors, etc. First we are devoted to the...
Internet of Things (IoT) will connect billions of sensors deployed around the world together. This will create an ideal opportunity to build a sensing-as-a-service platform. Due to large number of sensor deployments, there would be number of sensors that can be used to sense and collect similar information. Further, due to advances in sensor hardware technology, new methods and measurements will be...
Future Internet is envisioned to cater to a wide range of multimedia services allowing their access through heterogeneous devices like laptops, TVs, PDAs and 3G mobile phones and interconnected via wired and wireless networking technologies. Such a heterogeneous environment (device and network) reinforces the need of a system that enable context-aware provisioning of multimedia resources to realize...
A central concern in the area of Ubiquitous Network and ubiquitous computing has been the integration of digital resources including devices and heterogeneous networks with the physical world and people. However, current systems are independent to each other, which means that resources for ubiquitous computing are separated and applications could not be created on cross-platform. With the development...
Mobile devices like laptops or smart phones are getting more and more powerful, but still these devices are mainly used to access services, which are provided by centralized servers in the Internet. We argue that the full potential of such mobile devices could be unfold if these devices would provide services like instant messaging or file transfer themselves in a peer-to-peer manner. In this paper,...
The development of dependable context-aware applications represents a major challenge to software engineers of contemporary systems. In this context, this position paper proposes the definition of a Context-Aware Exception Handling Mechanism to be incorporated into the Mid Sensor Net, a middleware of multi-tier services for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) that provides a expressive and flexible mechanism...
The advancement in wireless networking technologies and portable devices has motivated the explosive interests in heterogeneous wireless environments. However, the mobility and diversity of both devices and users bring new challenges for the design of mobile Internet applications. Seamless mobility support has always been one of the key problems. In this paper, we study context-aware adaptation for...
It is well known that future vehicles will be equipped with Vehicle-to-Vehicle or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure systems (V2X systems where V designates Vehicle and X designates Vehicle or Infrastructure), providing the driver with the actual traffic conditions on the whole route and detailed information about the road. Due to the development of new services, a car becomes a third Internet space succeeding...
The Internet of things(IoT) is considered to be the next step in the revolution of internet, the combination of the Internet and emerging technologies such as nearfield communications, real-time localization, and embedded sensors,which lets us transform everyday objects into smart objects that can understand and react to their environment.With an increasing diversity of RFID devices integrated in...
It has become more and more obvious that in Cloud Computing, applications are key drivers to make Cloud business a success. Multi-tenancy is a critical technology to allow one instance of application serving multiple customers at the same time to share Cloud resources and achieve high operational efficiency. There are different options of realizing multi-tenancy, in this paper we describe a transparent...
Funded as part of the `Network-Enabled Platforms' program, the Health Services Virtual Organization (HSVO) Project has developed a network-enabled platform (NEP) consisting of a messaging specification, a collection of devices, a bus interface architecture and a middleware hub (SAVOIR) that can support the authoring execution and tracking of multiple independent and integrated simulation activities...
Next Generation Ambient Intelligent Environments (NGAIEs) will offer intelligent and trustworthy services (although probably not for free), will be populated with Ambient Ecologies of smart objects, and will support the Activity Spheres of their multiple occupants. Ubiquitous computing applications will be composed from heterogeneous services offered by objects connected via the web and NGAIEs. These...
This paper deals with an autonomous cognitive network management architecture which aims at achieving inter-network (horizontal) and inter-layer (vertical) cross-optimization. The proposed architecture is based on the so-called Cognitive Managers transparently embedded in properly selected network nodes. The core of each Cognitive Manager are the so-called thinking modules, which are in charge of...
Ubiquitous-city (u-city) middleware is essential to provide a variety of integrated and intelligent u-city services to u-city applications. Another essential element to u-city is the u-city portal if the u-city offers its services through World Wide Web. The u-city portal should well cooperate with the u-city middleware as well as support web-based applications efficiently. Yet, there is no reported...
Modern Smartphones are the fastest growing computing platforms capable of consuming Web services. However, due to their form factor these mobile computing devices face many challenges and constrains when engaging service providers. How to overcome these challenges and how to link smartphones to the service cloud is one of the key issues that will have a major impact on the further growth of the software-as-a-service...
