Corporations with increasingly large car fleets significantly contribute to the volume of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere. Further investigation is needed to help reduce this escalation in global warming utilizing eco-friendly yet cost effective measures. Internet of Things solutions, using sensor enabled feedback technologies with GPS and accelerometer, offer a medium which provides drivers with eco-driving feedback services. A field-test with 50 corporate car drivers demonstrated an overall improvement in fuel efficiency, supporting literature findings claiming that direct feedback has a greater impact on energy savings than indirect feedback approaches. In this study monetary incentives were irrelevant, as corporate car drivers fuel costs are reimbursed by the company. This provides an attractive opportunity for corporations looking to reduce their CO2 footprint and petrol costs by offering their employees eco-driving applications at minimum costs.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115332145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most acute complex event data management challenges today stem from organizations which rely on a large number of diverse, interrelated data sources, but with difficulties of managing their event data in a unified, integrated and correlated way. It is because ,up until now, there is no standard data stream query language and the fundamental questions in connection with data models and formal semantics for stream queries have not yet been thoroughly addressed. In this paper, we present the design of a framework named HEP which integrates the representation of two typical categories of event streams (relational and XML event streams). Our framework supports unified event fusing and processing with a general window specification that can be used to express almost all types of windows of which we are aware, and is semantically clear and easy to understand. It can be extended to new types of windows that may occur in the future for some new IoT applications. We provide a real case prototype implementation, and experiments show the usefulness and effectiveness of our method.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133499310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IoT devices will be heavily resource limited, possibly parasitic or passive powered nodes. Although restricted in their computational capabilities, such nodes draw on a virtually unlimited power source. We exploit this property by trading computational load for communication load. In particular, we present a communication scheme by which mathematical computations can be executed at the time of wireless transmission. This transmission scheme enables the execution of complex computations by a network of resource restricted, cooperating nodes at a computational load below the operation's computational complexity. We derive the scheme analytically, explore its feasibility for dense networks in mathematical simulations and demonstrate its practicability in a case study with 15 nodes.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121034477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, Web browsers have become the de facto interface for many networked applications; however, conventional Web browsers are still unable to directly interact with the broad range of context sources and actuators available in highly heterogeneous mobile environments. In our Ambient Dynamix project, we are creating a new approach for mobile computing, where advanced context sensing and acting capabilities are deployed to mobile devices on-demand as plug-ins, and are made available to applications through only a few lines of code. In this paper, we present an extension of our Dynamix Framework, called AmbientWeb, which exposes Dynamix's plug-and-play context capabilities to Web applications running in unmodified mobile Web browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox. By leveraging AmbientWeb, browser-based Web applications are able to directly interact with contextually relevant resources without requiring environmental modification or Web-based proxies. For the IoT Challenge, we present a fully operational version of the AmbientWeb architecture along with an example browser-based Web application that uses runtime installed Dynamix plug-ins to discover rich, high-order contextual information, perform context-aware adaptations, and influence the physical environment through direct ad-hoc control of DMX-based lighting equipment.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114514127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the vast heterogeneity of real-world environments makes it challenging for applications to sense, understand and adapt to the user's continually evolving context. We're investigating a new community-based approach for context-aware computing, where advanced context sensing capabilities are dynamically deployed to mobile devices as plug-ins, and are made available to applications through only a few lines of code. Towards this end, we're developing Dynamix, an open plug-and-play context framework for Android. Dynamix runs as lightweight background service on the user's mobile device, modeling context information from the environment using the device itself as a sensing, processing and communications platform. Mobile applications request context support from Dynamix using simple application programming interfaces (APIs). Dynamix automatically discovers, downloads and installs the plug-ins needed for a given context sensing task. When the user changes environments, new or updated plug-ins can be deployed to the device at runtime, without the need to restart the application or framework. Dynamix comes with a growing collection of ready-made plug-ins, and provides open software developments kits (SDKs) and a scalable repository architecture, which enable 3rd party developers to quickly create and share new plug-ins types with the community. This paper presents the Dynamix approach, describes our prototype implementation and presents promising performance evaluation results.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123899967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the wide use, the chance of getting interference in this frequency band is quite high. Thus, a reliable and real-time communication in mass WSNs can not be guaranteed, which is essential for industrial applications. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications - Ultra Low Energy (DECT-ULE) for robust communication in dense WSNs and found that it can cope with the limitations of existing standards.

We discuss the infrastructure's look-up mechanism that leverages Web patterns to foster scalability and load balancing and features an advanced caching mechanism that greatly reduces the response time and number of exchanged messages.

We propose game-theoretic mechanisms that provide such incentives and show their application on the example of community sensing for monitoring air pollution. These mechanisms can be applied to most sensing scenarios and allow the Internet of Things to grow to much larger scale than currently exists.","PeriodicalId":142810,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE International Conference on the Internet of Things","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116362462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
