Network Composition: A Step towards Pervasive Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pervasive computing is the next generation computing paradigm, which not only enables users to compute “everywhere, all the time”, but also distinguishes itself from mobile computing and distributed computing in terms of invisibility, heterogeneity, smartness and scalability. How to implement pervasive computing is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose to use the concepts of “ambient networks” and “network composition” as a potential solution to some of the problems in pervasive computing. An entire set of mechanism related to network composition is described. We further explain how pervasive computing can be facilitated with the help of these concepts.

A Conceptual Framework for Smart Hospital towards Industry 4.0
Background: The fourth industrial revolution consists of combining network devices with cloud computing methods and analyzing large data and artificial intelligence, which makes it possible to call such an infrastructure smart. In a Smart Hospital, all things and devices are designed to be connected and integrated, thus achieving better patient care, increasing efficiency and reducing time wast...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملOn Developing a Technology Acceptance Model for Pervasive Computing
Since the majority of proposed pervasive computing applications rely heavily on infrastructure that is not yet widely available, understanding longterm usage and acceptance is of utmost importance for determining if a technology/application is worth the required investment. Yet performing such an evaluation is difficult before the necessary infrastructure is available. We propose developing a m...
متن کاملTowards In-network Aggregation for People-Centric Sensing
Technological advances in the smartphone sector give rise to people-centric sensing that uses the sensing capabilities of mobile devices and the movement of their human carriers to satisfy the ever increasing demand for context information. The quick adoption of such pervasive and mobile services, however, increases the number of contributors, strains the device-to-server connections, and chall...
