Social Hue: A subtle awareness system for connecting the elderly and their caregivers

In this position paper, we propose an unobtrusive solution for improving bonding relations between the elderly and their caregivers, through the Social Hue. The Social Hue is a bidirectional application that is based on the Philips Hue light. To create social presence, activity and emotional states will be detected through sensors and will be transformed into ambient lighting into the elder’s home and […]

Sharpening Analytic Focus to Cope with Big Data Volume and Variety

The growing volumes of time-stamped data available from sensors, social media sources, Web logs, and medical histories present remarkable opportunities for researchers and policy analysts. Although big data resources can provide valuable insights to help us understand complex systems and lead to better decisions for business, national security, cybersecurity, and healthcare, there are many challenges to dealing with […]

Bio-inspired Group Modeling and Analysis for Intruder Detection in Mobile Sensor/Robotic Networks

Although previous bio-inspired models have concentrated on invertebrates (such as ants), mammals such as primates with higher cognitive function are valuable for modeling the increasingly complex problems in engineering. Understanding primates’ social and communication systems, and applying what is learned from them to engineering domains is likely to inspire solutions to a number of problems. This paper […]

Comparison of ranking algorithms with dataspace

With increased in digitization the amount of homogeneous, unstructured, semi-structured, structured or heterogeneous data being created and stored is exploding is collectively called “Dataspace”. Data being generated from various heterogeneous sources like, digital images, audio, video, online transactions, online social media, data from sensor nodes, click streams for different domains including, retails, medical, healthcare, energy, and day to day […]

Quality of Contributed Service and Market Equilibrium for Participatory Sensing

User-contributed or crowd-sourced information is becoming increasingly common. In this paper, we consider the specific case of participatory sensing whereby people contribute information captured bysensors, typically those on a smartphone, and share the information with others. We propose a new metric called quality of contributed service (QCS) which characterizes the information quality and timeliness of […]

Enhanced ANTSEC framework with cluster based cooperative caching in mobile ad hoc networks

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), communication between mobile nodes occurs without centralized control. In this environment the mobility of a node is unpredictable; this is considered as a characteristic of wireless networks. Because of faulty or malicious nodes, the network is vulnerable to routing misbehavior. The resource constrained characteristics of MANETs leads to increased query […]

The FINS Framework: Design and Implementation of the Flexible Internetwork Stack (FINS) Framework

This paper describes the Flexible Internetwork Stack (FINS) Framework, an open-source tool to enable implementationbased experimental research in computer networking. The FINS Framework uses a module-based architecture that allows cross-layer behavior and runtime reconfiguration of the protocol stack. The FINS Framework is general enough to enable experimental setups under various network architectures (e.g., MANET, infrastructure, mesh) […]

Towards analysing the effects of node mobility on the accuracy of Wi-Fi triangulation

The increased popularity of wireless networks has enabled the development of Location Based Service (LBS) techniques that rely on wireless signal strength. These techniques are being used extensively in military, healthcare, industrial and other environments in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). In some networks, it is important to keep track […]

Analysis of trust dynamics in cyclic mobile: Ad hoc networks

Mobile Adhoc networks are gaining popularity in today’s dynamic environment. These are characterized by high mobility, infrastructureless, self organizing, quick deployability and resource constrained networks. The network depends on cooperation among nodes for any communication. High mobility and dynamic architecture of mobile adhoc network make it vulnerable to security issues. Trust plays an important role […]

Effect of Mobility on the Outage and BER Performances of Digital Transmissions over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

The outage probability and average bit error rate (BER) of wireless digital systems in a Nakagami-m fading environment have been well analyzed in the literature. Most of the analysis considers static wireless terminals in which the received signal power follows a gamma distribution. However, many mobile and ad-hoc networks (MANETs) comprise of mobile receiving nodes […]
