The broad use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in various fields have resulted in growing demand for advanced data collection and querying mechanisms embedded in the sensor node. Sensor Web Services (SWS) have recently emerged as a promising tool to enable external machines to have access to the information collected by public sensor webs. Machine-to-machine interactions or wireless sensor and...

In line with the goals of Europe 2020 strategy, energy resource saving represent a key issue for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Recent developments in ICTs offer home devices featuring local intelligence and connectivity services. So, basing on such technologies, a house becomes Collaborative Smart Environment (CSE), a place where multimedia services are provided to users, while heter...

In this paper, we describe how we enhance the space sensing capabilities of the Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC) developed by ETRI Korea, by utilizing the plug-and-play service-oriented architecture provided by University of Florida’s Atlas Platform. Based on our experience in deploying services using the Atlas Platform in smart houses, for the elderly and people with special needs, a require...

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept and its integration with the smart city sensing, smart connected health systems have appeared as integral components of the smart city services. Hard sensing-based data acquisition through wearables or invasive probes, coupled with soft sensing-based acquisition such as crowd-sensing results in hidden patterns in the aggregated sensor data...

In Ubiquitous environment, system makes their own decision without or with minimized user interaction to provide required services to users. To fulfill this requirement the system needs to collect the proper information of surroundings and define how to react to the changes based on found information autonomously. To achieve this process, the system should equipped with three basic components w...

The Internet of Things (IoT) can provide intelligent and effective solutions to various applications with higher accuracy that requires less or no human intervention. Smart Cities are one the significant IoT comprising a collection services such as transportation, waste management, smart homes, etc. These heterogeneous offer wide range collaborative in cities. A municipality city is concept whi...
