Exercising is hard work, but, the motivation to exercise can be increased by applying aspects of gamification or contests. We present a system to bring these aspects into the application area of public spas by introducing sensor/actuator networks which ...

Researchers pertaining to both academia and industry have shown strong interest in developing and improving the existing critical ITS solutions. In some of the existing solutions, specially the ones that aim at providing context aware services, the ...

We propose a cloud-like file storage and sharing system designed for mobile users. Our system relies on a collection of strategically pre-positioned repositories within which files are replicated without relying on a conventional infrastructure-based ...

The rapid proliferation of IoT (Internet-of-Things) applications has raised major concerns regarding privacy and security issues. Typical IoT applications, like ehealth, smart transportation, etc., are often used to convey highly sensitive and personal ...

This paper argues that there is a need to expand the capabilities of mobile app analytics beyond providing low-level insights about how efficiently a user can execute an action on a mobile app, to deeper insights about how efficiently a user can ...

In this paper, we explore the idea of DataTweet, a ubiquitous data service for transmitting short messages to support data collection from IoT devices and information dissemination to interested users at specific geographic locations. In particular, we ...

We present a low-cost, low-power, long-range image sensor built from off-the-shelves components and enabling fully autonomous and out-of-the-box remote visual surveillance applications. The image sensor implements a packet loss-tolerant image ...

As the number of devices that gain connectivity and join the category of smart-objects increases every year reaching unprecedented numbers, new challenges are imposed on our networks. While specialized solutions for certain use cases have been proposed, ...

In this paper, we consider side-channel mechanisms, specifically using smart device ambient light sensors, to capture information about user computing activity. We distinguish keyboard keystrokes using only the ambient light sensor readings from a smart ...

We analyze the computing and communications as incorporated in networked objects (IoT): such as sensors, with focus on the performance and QoS aspects (e.g., latency of sensor data delivery to end-user). We advocate the offloading of complex ...
