Internet of Things is a key technical and economical challenge for 5G. An important number of technological solutions are developed and deployed (for instance based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard), specially in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. However this band is shared with other communicating systems, such as WiFi and Bluetooth devices. As a consequence, dealing with interference becomes crucial and has...

Like many other fields, application construction in ubiquitous computing is done by reuse of available software entities. For reasons of conductivity, breakdown, battery charge, but also many others reasons, the availability of these entities is unpredictable. As consequence, the self-adaptation of applications becomes necessary. This requires the specification of parallel adaptations by expert...
