The developed world is awash with sensors. However, they are typically locked into unimodal closed systems. To unleash their full potential, access to sensors should be opened such that data and services can integrated available in other information systems, facilitating novel applications based on the state of real world. We describe our vision architecture a Semantic Web Things: service infrastructure makes deployment use semantic involving Internet-connected almost as easy building,...

We present a new framework for the crucial challenge of self-organization large sensor network. The basic scenario can be described as follows: Given swarm immobile nodes that have been scattered in polygonal region, such street Nodes no knowledge size or shape environment position other nodes. Moreover, they way measuring coordinates, geometric distances to nodes, their direction. Their only interacting with is send receive messages from any node within communication range. objective...

In this paper we present a modular and extensible visualization framework for wireless sensor networks. These networks have typically no means of visualizing their internal state, readings or computational results. Visualization is therefore key issue to develop operate these Data emitted by individual nodes collected gateway software running on machine in the network. It then passed via TCP/IP potentially remote machine. plug-ins can register different data types, visualize information...

We consider the simulation of wireless sensor networks (WSN) using a new approach. present Shawn, an open-source discrete-event simulator that has considerable differences to all other existing simulators. Shawn is very powerful in simulating large scale with abstract point view. It is, best our knowledge, first support generic high-level algorithms as well distributed protocols on exactly same underlying networks.

Current surveys and forecast predict that the number of wireless devices is going to increase tremendously. These can be computers all kinds, notebooks, netbooks, Smartphones sensor nodes evolve into real-world scenarios forming a "Real-World-Internet" in future. In our work we focus on Future Internet with small battery driven "Internet Things". recent networking research, testbeds gain more attention, especially context networks (WSNs). This development stems from fact simulations even...

The classical Art Gallery Problem asks for the minimum number of guards that achieve visibility coverage a given polygon. This problem is known to be NP-hard, even very restricted and discrete special cases. For case vertex simple orthogonal polygons, Cuoto et al. have recently developed an exact method based on set-cover approach. general (in which both set possible guard positions point guarded are uncountable), neither constant-factor approximation algorithms nor solution methods known....

We focus on the problem of computing tight deadline miss models for real-time systems, which bound number potential misses in a given sequence activations task. In practical applications, such guarantees are often sufficient because many systems fact not hard real-time. Our major contribution is general formulation that context where some tasks occasionally experience sporadic overload. Based this new formulation, we present an algorithm can take into account fine-grained effects overload at...

Electric vehicles are a central component of future mobility systems as they promise to reduce local noxious and fine dust emissions, well CO 2 if fed by clean energy sources. However, the adoption electric so far fell short expectations despite significant governmental incentives. One reason for this slow is drivers’ perceived range anxiety, especially individually owned vehicles. Here, bad user experiences (e.g., conventional cars blocking charging stations or inconsistent real-time...

In this video, we illustrate how one of the classical areas computational geometry has gained in practical relevance, which turn gives rise to new, fascinating geometric problems. particular, demonstrate robot platform IRMA3D can produce high-resolution, virtual 3D environments, based on a limited number laser scans. Computing an optimal set scans amounts solving instance Art Gallery Problem (AGP): Place minimum stationary guards polygonal region P, such that all points P are guarded.
