Exploring GSM data in pervasive environments
Ian Anderson, Henk MullerA cell phone that behaves in a manner reflective of the current context has been a goal for the pervasive and ubiquitous research communities for a long time. This paper aims to…
Probabilistic self‐scheduling for coverage configuration in wireless ad‐hoc sensor networks
Jun Lu, Lichun Bao, Tatsuya SudaSensing coverage is a critical issue in sensor network deployments. The paper aims to propose a novel scheme to maintain the sensing coverage in sensor networks, which is termed…
A cross‐layer design for heterogeneous routing in wireless mesh networks
Shih‐Hao Shen, Yueh‐Min Huang, Jen‐Wen DingWireless mesh networks (WMNs) are regarded as a milestone in developing next‐generation wireless networks. The multi‐hop architecture of WMN makes it very attractive. However…
An efficient wireless network discovery scheme for heterogeneous access environments
Farhan Siddiqui, Sherali ZeadallySeveral new network types have emerged over the last couple of years. Many of these networks are being connected together to provide mobile users with the capability of staying…
FBSR: feedback‐based secure routing protocol for wireless sensor networks
Zhen Cao, Jianbin Hu, Zhong Chen, Maoxing Xu, Xia ZhouWireless sensor networks, due to their potentially wide application perspectives, may proliferate in future. Two major stumbling blocks are the dynamic variance of the network…
HoNeY: leveraging the MHP to provide HOme NEtwork interoperabilitY
Giuseppe Portelli, Giovanni Malnati, Fabio FornoHome networks enable, potentially, an increased level of integration among appliances present in the house, enabling an ubiquitous control of devices and simplifying man/machine…
Forming a context‐sensitive web of trust by relying on sentimentally like‐minded
Mats Neovius, Fredrik Degerlund, Lu YanTrust in open networks has emerged as a prime research topic, partly due to the vast unexploited possibilities unrestricted distribution of ideas, innovations and information…
LooM: An anonymity quantification method in pervasive computing environments
Miyuki Imada, Masakatsu Ohta, Masayasu Yamaguchi, Sun Yong KimThe paper's aim is to present a novel anonymity quantification method, LooM (loosely managed privacy protection method) for achieving privacy protection in pervasive computing…
Ubiquitous content formulations for real‐time information communications
K.L. Eddie Law, Sunny SoWith rapid advances in wireless portable devices, ubiquitous computing seems becoming a reality everyday. The paper aims to explore the possibility of offering real‐time content…
