However it is not yet clear which of these technologies will actually be accepted as a part of our everyday lives. Alongside the development of prototypes and exploratory evaluations, other research methods could be useful in eliciting responses to future visions, and developing implications that can inform design. In this paper we explore factors that could affect the acceptance of IoT technologies in the home. We present a review of relevant literature from human factors, HCI, sociology and psychology, and analyse the results of a survey in which participants were presented with scenarios of near-future IoT systems in use in the home. Based on this, we develop an initial set of design principles for IoT technologies in the home.","PeriodicalId":148667,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116710447","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}

Of particular interest within this area are energy monitoring services. In this paper we describe Watts App, a social telemetry gathering and comparison platform, which was built as a demonstrator that integrates technologies from embedded systems to mobile applications. We used the SNMP protocol stack developed for the Contiki embedded operating system to retrieve telemetry information from a hardware interface that reads data from S0 meters (e.g., power meters, fluid meters). A web interface and an Android mobile application lets users view this data. To ensure privacy of users' data, it is only stored at users' own premises and all communication takes place over encrypted connections. This paper provides an overview of the implementation of Watts App.","PeriodicalId":148667,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127501749","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 system harvests strain energy from a vibrating structure and convert it into usable electrical energy for powering sensors and a wireless communication node. Typical in-flight vibration frequency and strain levels on the bottom side of the aircraft wing's root were investigated for testing the performance of the system. Major concerns of the implemented system are the amount of harvested power, in the usable range of milliwatts, and the low power consumption energy-flow management for data sensing and transmitting. Such results arise from the use of flexible piezoelectric macro-fiber composite (MFC) bonded as energy generator to both an aluminum and a composite substrate, and from the integration of a new Energy-Aware Interface (EAI). The harvested power is between 0.5-12 mW under low and non-resonant vibrations of 2.5-10 Hz and 480-1170 μstrain peak-to-peak. The waiting time between two consecutive transmissions was measured around 0.4 s under 1170 μstrain peak-to-peak excitation at 10 Hz. Such achievement shows strong capability to approach self-powered continuous monitoring. The system has potential of being used to harvest strain energy from the vibrations of aircraft in active service for powering an on-board wireless sensing node for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).","PeriodicalId":148667,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124915613","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}

Unfortunately, software developers lack the tools to pinpoint energy-hungry sections in their code and therefore have to rely on their intuition when trying to optimize their code for energy consumption. We have developed eprof, a profiler that relates energy consumption to code locations, it attributes both the synchronously consumed energy in the CPU and the asynchronously consumed energy in peripheral devices like hard drives, network cards, etc. Eprof requires minimal changes to the kernel (tens of lines of code) and does not require special hardware to energy-profile software. Therefore eprof can be widely used to help developers make energy-aware decisions.","PeriodicalId":148667,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114883698","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}

A Remote Emergency Localization (REL) approach is proposed to calculate the location of the mobile phone. A simulation and practical experiments are carried out to verify the availability, portability and reliability of the localization system.

We collected a total of 59.6 million power readings and 220.3 million user activity logs over one month. We analyze the data collected from this instrumentation to not only understand how much energy is used but to also drill down and reveal a detailed understanding of which machines, processes, and users contribute the most to computing energy footprint of the lab. Our results show the power draw on different machines in the lab are different despite the identical hardware and software settings. Our study attributes this difference to different users presenting different types and lengths of load to the computers, preferring specific physical computers, which leads to some computer being used more than others. The results show that the majority of energy was wasted while the computer was left in idle mode, and individual user behavior affects the energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":148667,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131522750","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}
