Abstract—With the abundance and ubiquity of mobile devices, a new class of applications is emerging, called participatory sensing (PS), where people can contribute data (e.g., im...
The need for an efficient service management system in an ad-hoc network is obvious. Mobile nodes – and with them the services they provide – frequently enter and leave the ne...
The integration of wireless LANs (WLANs) and 3G systems performed at core network level requires very little modifications to the current 3GPP architecture and provides a large set...
—Efficient discovery of nearby devices and services is one of the preconditions to obtain a usable pervasive environment. Typical user interfaces in these environments hide the ...
—The recently developed small wireless devices ranging from sensor boards to mobile phones provide a timely opportunity to gather unique data sets on complex human interactions, ...
