Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous systems. The need for middleware to bind components together is well recognized and many attempts to build middleware for context-aware systems have been made.
We provide a general introduction about the evolution of the middlewares and then we proceed with an analysis of the requirements and the issues for context-aware middleware.
A GENERIC FRAMEWORK FOR DEVICE PAIRING IN UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTSIJNSA Journal
Recently secure device pairing has had significant attention from a wide community of academic as well as industrial researchers and a plethora of schemes and protocols have been proposed, which use various forms of out-of-band exchange to form an association between two unassociated devices. These protocols and schemes have different strengths and weaknesses – often in hardware requirements, strength against various attacks or usability in particular scenarios. From ordinary user’s point of view, the problem then becomes which to choose or which is the best possible scheme in a particular scenario. We advocate that in a world of modern heterogeneous devices and requirements, there is a need for mechanisms that allow automated selection of the best protocols without requiring the user to have an in-depth knowledge of the minutiae of the underlying technologies. Towards this, the main argument forming the basis of this research work is that the integration of a discovery mechanism and several pairing schemes into a single system is more efficient from a usability point of view as well as security point of view in terms of dynamic choice of pairing schemes. In pursuit of this, we have proposed a generic system for secure device pairing by demonstration of physical proximity. The contributions presented in this paper include the design and prototype implementation of the proposed framework along with a novel Co-Location protocol.
Enabling High Level Application Development In The Internet Of ThingsPankesh Patel
The Internet of Things (IoT) combines Wireless Sensor and Actuation Networks (WSANs), Pervasive
computing, and the elements of the \\traditional" Internet such as Web and database servers. This leads to
the dual challenges of scale and heterogeneity in these systems, which comprise a large number of devices of
dierent characteristics. In view of the above, developing IoT applications is challenging because it involves
dealing with a wide range of related issues, such as lack of separation of concerns, need for domain experts to
write low level code, and lack of specialized domain specic languages (DSLs). Existing software engineering
approaches only cover a limited subset of the above-mentioned challenges.
In this work, we propose an application development process for the IoT that aims to comprehensively
address the above challenges. We rst present the semantic model of the IoT, based on which we identify
the roles of the various stakeholders in the development process, viz., domain expert, software designer,
application developer, device developer, and network manager, along with their skills and responsibilities.
To aid them in their tasks, we propose a model-driven development approach which uses customized lan-
guages for each stage of the development process: Srijan Vocabulary Language (SVL) for specifying the
domain vocabulary, Srijan Architecture Language (SAL) for specifying the architecture of the application,
and Srijan Network Language (SNL) for expressing the properties of the network on which the application
will execute; each customized to the skill level and area of expertise of the relevant stakeholder. For the
application developer specifying the internal details of each software component, we propose the use of a
customized generated framework using a language such as Java. Our DSL-based approach is supported by
code generation and task-mapping techniques in an application development tool developed by us. Our
initial evaluation based on two realistic scenarios shows that the use of our techniques/framework succeeds
in improving productivity while developing IoT applications.

An IOT Based Low Power Health Monitoring with Active Personal Assistanceijtsrd
Among sensible goals of active and assisted living paradigm is the unobtrusive monitoring of daily living activities. A lot of research has been going on continuous home and personal monitoring applications. There are many solutions were adapted by these technologies to make better remote monitoring applications. The traditional continuous home and personal monitoring systems which are implemented with traditional client server architecture which may fail in factors like low power consumption, un deterministic data delivery time, More sensitive to external connectivity issues temporary failures of servers , adhoc networks using ZigBee and Z wave etc. and also increase the cost of implementation. However, when dealing with the home environment, and especially with older adults, obtrusiveness, usability, and cost concerns are of the utmost relevance for active and assisted Living AAL joint program. With advent of cloud services, the continuous remote monitoring based applications became truly plug and play' approach implementation and also reduce the problems of temporary failures. One of the biggest challenges in this area is to make such application devices work with low power battery based applications . The main drawback comes from the higher power consumption, inherently needed to sustain much higher data rates. In this project, a solution is proposed to improve the low power consumption in Wi Fi sensors by making use of advanced RF based Microprocessor from Texas instruments CC3200 . Bed Occupancy sensor automation has been designed and implemented to test the feasibility of the approach. The TI CC3200 comes with ARM Cortex M4 as a core and inbuilt Wi Fi subsystem. The CC3200 provides different power modes to make the device enter into sleep or hibernate mode. This device will only enter only in work phase when the sensor is active state. During this phase, the processor sample and processes the sensor data and uploads to the cloud using REST API. Thing speak is an IoT cloud service used to present the sensory data as graphs, bar charts, and dashboards on the cloud remaining time it will enter into sleep phase to save the power of the device, so that it will extend the battery life time of the device.

Many of mobile devices suffer from limited computation resources (memory and processors), limited network
connection, bandwidth and limited battery life. For minimizing these problems mobile agents are premising
technology. However, for clients and servers most mobile agent systems are very resources demanding. This
research paper describes an approach to run mobile agents on different devices from mobile phones and
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to powerful PCs. It proposes a simple mobile agent architecture and
middleware that makes it possible for accessing a mobile agent system on different devices. This architecture
and middleware proposes that clients will state their abilities. Depending on these abilities, the client will either
run the full mobile agent on the device or only run a light-weight version of the agent on the device. The mobile
agents are basically same on all clients, but code of the mobile agent is removed for small devices. This means
that only the data of the agent can be changed for mobile devices with minimal resources. The code of this agent
is stored at the server. When the agent returns to the server, the two parts are joined and the agent is ready to be
executed. The joined mobile agent can migrate to other agent servers and clients. A middleware is also proposed
that makes it possible to establish communication between different heterogeneous devices.

Hadoop World 2011: Security Considerations for Hadoop Deployments - Jeremy Gl...Cloudera, Inc.
Security in a distributed environment is a growing concern for most industries. Few face security challenges like the Defense Community, who must balance complex security constraints with timeliness and accuracy. We propose to briefly discuss the security paradigms defined in DCID 6/3 by NSA for secure storage and access of data (the “Protection Level” system). In addition, we will describe the implications of each level on the Hadoop architecture and various patterns organizations can implement to meet these requirements within the Hadoop ecosystem. We conclude with our “wish list” of features essential to meet the federal security requirements.
Machine to machine (M2M) is a broad label that can be used to describe any technology that enables networked devices to exchange information and perform actions without the manual assistance of humans.

(R)evolution of the computing continuum - A few challengesFrederic Desprez
Initially proposed to interconnect computers worldwide, the Internet has significantly evolved to become in two decades a key element in almost all our activities. This (r)evolution mainly relies on the progress that has been achieved in computation and communication fields and that has led to the well-known and widely spread Cloud Computing paradigm.
With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), stakeholders expect a new revolution that will push, once again, the limits of the Internet, in particular by favouring the convergence between physical and virtual worlds. This convergence is about to be made possible thanks to the development of minimalist sensors as well as complex industrial physical machines that can be connected to the Internet through edge computing infrastructures.
Among the obstacles to this new generation of Internet services is the development of a convenient and powerful framework that should allow operators, and devops, to manage the life-cycle of both the digital infrastructures and the applications deployed on top of these infrastructures, throughout the cloud to IoT continuum.
In this keynote, Frédéric Desprez and his colleague Adrien Lebre presented research issues and provide preliminary answers to identify whether the challenges brought by this new paradigm is an evolution or a revolution for our community.

Over the past five years, cloud computing has gone from a curiosity to
core scientific technology. The cloud's relative simplicity, instant
availability, and reasonable cost have made it attractive to
scientists, especially in domains relatively new to large scale data
analysis. This trend will continue into the foreseeable future,
challenging resource providers to adapt their services, to provide
easy federation with other providers, and to accommodate many
different scientific disciplines. For developers of cloud services,
there are also many challenges. Efficient access to, and the curation
of large data sets remain largely unsolved problems. Image
management also raises new issues, especially if these images are to
be shared and trusted. This presentation reviews the current status
of cloud computing and presents some ideas on how the upcoming
challenges might be met.
Presented at CNAF in Bologna, Italy by Charles Loomis in May 2013.
BDIx (initially introduced in \cite{Ioannou2020}) is a BDI agent that is extended to utilise in Beliefs any other AI/ML techniques (e.g., Fuzzy Logic, Deep Learning Neural Networks, etc.) that gives, among others, to the agent a better understanding of the surrounding environment and the ability to prioritise the order the Desires will be executed. More specifically, as some Desires must conclude before the execution of others (i.e., because the output of one Desire can be an input to another), we allow the Desires to be assigned with priority values, ranging from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
In our DAI framework which utilises BDIx agents, this priority value is estimated by using fuzzy logic (as shown in Figure \ref{fig:flowchart}) considering in its "IF-THEN" rules the current Beliefs, the values measured by the sensors of the D2D Device, any raised events (e.g., see Table \ref{Events}) and cases where the pre-specified threshold values (e.g., Data Rate Drop less than 60\%, Signal Quality Drop less than 30\%) are exceeded. Based on the assigned priority value, Desires become Intentions which are adopted for active pursuit by the agent (referred as a Goal). When the Intention is accomplished, the priority value of the associated Desire is set to zero. In addition, a Desire that will become an Intention can have multiple plans associated with it and the Desire can select an appropriate plan based on a utility function. For simplicity, but without loss of generality, in our DAI Framework we consider each Desire, and indirectly each Intention, to be associated with only one plan. It is also important to highlight here that the Beliefs and the Desires of the BDIx agent comprising the DAI framework have been extracted from the D2D Requirements/Challenges that should be realised in order to implement 5G D2D communication.
Widipay a cross layer design for mobile payment system over lte directeSAT Journals
Abstract Long term evolution direct, plus its features of device-to-device networking and proximate discovery, are new and emerging
technologies able to come out of the shadow to render a whole new perspective at mobile payments. In this work, we propose a
new mobile payment system using long term evolution direct and its features. A sensitive mobile payment system would require
high security requirements in order to be trusted by the users and the businesses. These requirements are taken into account in
our proposed system design and solutions to security considerations are provided. The system’s security and usability features are
designed for implementation from physical to application layer to address the identified issues. Within the scope of this work, we
provided the conceptual design solutions to allow the system to be as solid and secure as possible while they are convenient
enough not to degrade user’s experience when using the system.
Keywords: LTE Direct, Mobile Payment, Internet of Things, Device-To-Device Networking
The evolving technology of the modern age has made it necessary to control the existing technologies efficiently and comfortably. The consumers expect the development of products that are easy to use and are efficient and which can be bought at the lowest possible cost from the industry. The daily difficulties related to lighting automation faced by people ranging from industry professionals to modern day housewives have inspired this project.
The project aims at controlling lighting appliances ranging from industries to sub-urban homes using web-based application at the front end complemented by an end user application developed for the aimed location using ZigBee based network. The other networking technologies like Bluetooth and WiFi consume a lot more energy as compared to ZigBee and are costlier too. The project facilitates controlling lighting appliances in groups as well as individually. The color and density of the lights can also be changed. The quick access feature is provided by the predefined end-user definable presets. The other features include scheduling options, obtaining live feedback, receiving notifications and maintenance pop-ups, bill estimation, power consumption etc.
This paper describes a new model for accessing to local data for mobile subscribers. Our model uses Wi-Fi proximity ideas. In our concept, any exiting or even especially created Wi-Fi hot spot could be used as presence sensor that can open (discover) access for some user-generated content. In our approach we can discover hyper local data as info snippets that are valid (relevant) for mobile subscribers being at this moment nearby some Wi-Fi access point. And an appropriate mobile service (context-aware browser) can present that information to mobile subscribers. As the prospect use-cases we can mention for example news and deals delivery in malls, news feeds for office centers and campuses, Smart City projects, personal classifieds etc. Presened on BCFIC - 2012

creating the infrastructure for a Smart Campus, where dynamic
information is provided for the target audience. The authors
provide an analysis of the characteristics and experimental
implementation of this system. Moreover, the practical usage of a
popular vendor and the needed back-end to provide dynamic
usages of the network, both in appearance and content is
described. In the paper different wireless technologies are
compared in regards to their main feature and field of
application. In general the characteristics of a Blue Tooth Low
Energy, BLE, are highlighted. This is elaborated upon in the
Smart Campus example. The Smart Campus is an indoor
wireless network to deliver location and user based dynamic
information to the different visitors, teacher or students of a
university campus, both for day-to-day use as for specific events.
To keep the system interesting and to augment ease-of-use for all
kind of users and content providers, a dedicated content
management system is developed within the Smart Campus case.
The complete system consists of a set of beacons, an application
on a smartphone, a database with the related CMS. All is
developed in an international cooperation between different
universities.

Deus: Design and Easy Use of
wireless Services
Main challenges
In order to ensure the creation of real added value through wireless services, the DEUS
project implements a multi disciplinary design process involving both user study groups
and technology developers. Three potential application areas are studied in the project:
Cultural events: Support of multiple events taking
place at the same location, while settings may change
from day-to-day. Location-aware and profile-based
services in a dynamic wireless environment, such as:
virtual museum (story and information based on
location and profile of visitor) and tracking/guiding of
persons.
Guiding of persons in and around public areas:
Cheap indoor wireless technology and applications
for indoor guiding of persons in public areas (in
combination with outdoor guiding based on GPS).
Senior mobility support: Tracking and identification
of persons (e.g. follow up of people with dementia);
Portable device with emergency button and voice
connectivity (identical low cost solution in and
outside the house).
To collect data and information, sensors are deployed in the DEUS solutions. These
sensors can collect massive amount of data (such as information on location,
temperature, movement etc) in a minimum of time. The challenge is to collect all these
data in an efficient way and to combine it with other data from other resources (such as
personal profile information). Fast and effective mechanisms in order to turn all these
data into the appropriate actions for real service delivery are a major challenge.
Intelligent software based on reasoning and subsequent notification actions and
interfacing tasks are studied and developed in the project. The developed general
software mechanisms result in solutions that are adaptive to new needs and situations.
2. DEUS
Deployment and Ease Use of wireless Services
Several wireless building blocks (hardware and software)
have been studied within the DEUS project. Both wireless
sensor networks (ZigBee) and mesh (WLAN) networks have
been envisaged. In order to design solutions with real
market potential, “plug and play” methodologies for service
and network deployment and management are essential.
The DEUS solutions enable the service delivery in an
intuitive user friendly way. To evaluate these concepts real
life PoC (proof of concept) test platforms are developed for
user tests and feedback.
Deus approach
The goal of this project is to make large progress in several wireless fields and related
services, with a strong emphasis on ease of deployment and ease of use. The included
fields are Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), WSN-based Indoor Positioning, Wireless
Mesh Networks (WMN) and Services which take advantage of these wireless
technologies. We have divided this work accordingly in different work packages, each of
them addressing specific aspects of the project.
Network architecture:
Current infrastructures in buildings and public areas are predominantly based on wired
network technologies. Although wired infrastructures have proven to be very reliable,
once they have been properly installed, wired solutions are not desired in dynamic
environments, where the setting may change from day-to-day.
These dynamic environments demand for a specific approach. Where wired networks can
survive with a onetime install and a minimum of management, constantly changing
networks could be an administrative nightmare. DEUS will prove the opposite by
providing a easy configurable, self healing and easy manageable, flexible wireless
network.
Wireless Network architecture:
One of the major research areas in the DEUS project is the development of new solutions
for wireless sensor networks. Current state of the art solutions fail to meet all the
objectives as stated in the DEUS project proposal. They are mostly optimized for a
specific USE-CASE or are not able to meet QoS (Quality of Service) – requirements for
any given service. Another major shortcoming is the lack of support for different device
capabilities.
3. DEUS
Deployment and Ease Use of wireless Services
The main challenge in the DEUS project is to include all advantages of previous
developed architectures without including the drawbacks. This means that our focus lies
on supporting heterogeneity and flexibility at any level. We want to support all kinds of
devices. Therefore our solution has to work both on always powered high capable
devices as on energy harvesting low capable devices.
Propagation Prediction Tool:
The characterization of path loss in indoor environments has been the subject of
extensive research and many models have been proposed to make accurate predictions.
The WHIPP (WiCa Heuristic Indoor Propagation Prediction) tool is developed for
predicting the wireless coverage for a given set of access points on a certain floor level of
a building, based on the building’s geometry and the used materials. The tool also allows
to automatically position wireless access points in order to meet a given coverage
requirement in the different rooms of the building.
Wireless Mesh Networking:
Wireless network are omnipresent in modern society, providing ubiquitous computing for
everyone. Enterprises and communities wishing to provide these services typically lack
the necessary expertise to deploy such networks. As a consequence, they are confronted
with two main challenges. The first challenge is to deploy a wireless enterprise grade
network. The second challenge is to maintain the network after deployment in order to
cope with changing demands and requirements.
Pervasive reasoning Platform for WSMN:
Deus targets a service platform capable of dealing with geographically dispersed systems
connected through a Wireless Sensor and Mesh Network. The platform uses a variety of
devices and delivers services that cross device, platform and system administration
boundaries.
Efficient handling and quality-aware processing of the enormous amount of data coming
from a wireless sensor network (WSN) is extremely difficult: data samples are often lost
during transmission, many irregular and faulty measurements are produced, and sensor
nodes are frequently unavailable. Given the unpredictable and unreliable nature of WSNs,
the application must specify and enforce quality requirements: (1) the maximum period
between consecutive samples, (2) the minimum coverage (#samples/#available nodes)
per room, or (3) the maximum deviation from previous samples from the same sensor.

Positioning:
Knowledge of the current location of an object or moving person is very useful for several
applications. In the use cases of DEUS, we want to guide a person through an exposition
in a museum or in a historical building. The person receives some sort of PDA when he
arrives at the museum, which then provides him with information based on his current
location (e.g. information on a specific painting, historical background of a room). It
could also guide someone to a specific part of the exposition, based on the interests of
the user. The main challenge in DEUS is to provide an easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy
indoor positioning solution which achieves room-level accuracy based on cheap, off-the-
shelf wireless sensor nodes.
User experience:
A user-centred design philosophy was followed throughout the DEUS research project.
This included several methods for designing, developing and evaluating user-friendly ICT-
applications.
The first step in this process was to research the generic user requirements for the
different application domains. Therefore a user and task analysis was conducted. In a
second phase, a conceptual model was developed. This was a translation of the user and
task analysis into a specific design and corresponding information structure. In the third
phase, storyboards and paper prototypes were developed and tested with end users in
order to get feedback on the DEUS solutions’ concepts and user interfaces that were
made.
Proof-of-concept realization and use cases
The results of the different work packages are combined in a Proof of Concept test and 2
use cases.
Proof of concept testing:
A White book describes the requirements of a generic test platform for the Proof-of-
Concept demonstrations. A number of integration sessions are organised to build up the
generic test platform, to test the integration of the different work packages and to test
the performance issues. This test platform enables the emulation of different possible use
cases of the developed technology, within a controlled environment (at the IBBT iLab-t
testlab).

Supporting senior Mobility:
The specific use case studied by the DEUS project is the one of tracking and tracing of
people based on location and identification of individuals, combined with an emergency
call button. Although several solutions exist for partial support (GPS trackers on mobile
phones for outdoor use, Personal Alarm Systems for indoor use), DEUS studied an
integrated solution for the support of the senior who wants to stay mobile (in- and out-
door) but needs augmented attention and follow-up.
Guided tour in Arts Centre Vooruit:
Arts Centre Vooruit is located in an historical complex monument with more than 300
different areas; in season, over 2000 activities are organised, spread throughout the
entire building.
Amongst these activities are a great deal of guided tours throughout the monument, and
also a number of festivals which show different installations or performances in different
areas spread all over the building. Because of security reasons and distribution of
information, conducted tours are only possible in group, accompanied by a guide.
The DEUS project provides a different solution: at the counter in the entrance hall, each
visitor is provided with a wireless device. This will guide the visitor through the
monument, and will, in several places, show text, pictures and film clips about the past.
Since the device always knows its location within the building, the visitor can never get
lost and location-based information can be provided where necessary.
