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 ...

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 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 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 ...
