This paper investigates wireless sensor networks where a small percentage of nodes are assumed to know their location a priori. These reference nodes enable absolute localization ...
Abstract--Analytical models to evaluate and predict "precision" performance of indoor positioning systems based on location fingerprinting are lacking. Such models can be...
Abstract--In this paper, we propose a lightweight and transparent management framework for TinyOS sensor networks, called L-SNMS, which minimizes the overhead of management functio...

Users and developers require some way to identify by human readable names the many resources that comprise a ubiquitous computing environment. In addition, naming in such environm...
Decentralized Voice over IP networks are a promising alternative to classical server-based SIP networks especially in disaster areas or areas without centralized infrastructure. T...
A promising architecture for remote healthcare monitoring involves the use of a pervasive device (such as a cellular phone), which aggregates data from multiple body-worn medical ...
