We consider sensor scheduling as the optimal observability problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP). This model fits to the cases where a Markov process ...
Middleware support for pervasive context-aware systems relieves context-aware applications from dealing with the complexity of context-specific operations such as context acquisit...

In this paper we discuss some issues arising from our implementation and evaluation of two systems that enable mobile phone users to identify common address book contacts. These s...
Pervasive computing applications are tedious to develop because they combine a number of problems ranging from device heterogeneity, to middleware constraints, to lack of programm...

To address the privacy concerns associated with RFID, previous work proposed an approach, where RFID readers do not only broadcast commands to inventory tag populations, but also ...

The Context Modelling Language (CML), derived from Object Role Modeling (ORM), is a powerful approach for capturing the pertinent object types and relationships between those type...
The idea of smart shelves or tables equipped with RFID technology has been around for some time now. There already are commercial products available, especially for retailing. All...
To enhance the per node throughput, mesh nodes in wireless mesh networks can be equipped with multiple network interfaces (NIC). In this paper, we propose a new multi-interface equ...
Cooperative communications fully leverages the broadcast nature of the wireless channel and spatial diversity, thereby achieving tremendous improvements in system capacity and dela...
