Security and privacy in RFID systems is an important and active research area. A number of challenges arise due to the extremely limited computational, storage and communication a...
Automatically determining the situation of an ad-hoc group of people and devices within a smart environment is a significant challenge in pervasive computing systems. Current appr...
A recent flooding algorithm [1] guaranteed correctness for networks with dynamic edges and fixed nodes. The algorithm provided a partial answer to the highly dynamic network (HDN)...
In this paper, we study the problem of utility maximization in multi-hop wireless systems. To study the effect of wireless interference constraints on the utility maximization pro...
Pervasive systems are complex distributed systems containing heterogeneous and mobile devices, services and applications. Policy-based management is an effective approach for mana...
Self Care is a recent initiative by the Department of Health in the UK that aims to treat patients with longterm conditions sooner, nearer to home and earlier in the course of the...
The lack of structured methodologies and software engineering efforts on designing the support of contextawareness in pervasive systems hinders the potential advantages of analyzi...

In this paper we present a framework to provide dependability through accountability. Our proposal exploits the asymmetry present in the majority of sensor data processing to chea...
In this paper, we present a general architecture and a new retrieval method for an educational system that is based on a knowledge base of existing recorded lectures. The extracti...
