For instance, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems (HVAC) are the most used systems for maintaining the thermal comfort inside buildings, however, they are considered among the main electricity consuming systems. Therefore, adopting new approaches for minimizing energy consumption seems to be the relevant solution. Renewable energy sources, such as geothermal energy is a promising technique that could be integrated together with the HVAC systems in order to save energy. In this paper, we propose a new approach towards an integrated system using Earth to Air Heat exchanger together with active HVAC systems operated and controlled by IoT and Big Data technologies. An experimental setup is discussed to highlight its components and usefulness towards energy saving in smart buildings.","PeriodicalId":162326,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132510070","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}

Some of the major challenges facing these applications are ubiquitous access to sensing data, task processing overhead, data privacy and security, storage of voluminous data. All of this requires the development of novel approaches that ensure scalability and security. In this context, the design and development of Cloud WSNs enables the integration of several WSNs to enhance the reliability of these networks and, provide a powerful and scalable infrastructure for large-scale processing and storage tasks. With the recent smartphone developments, these devices can also be used as resources-rich sensors part of a Sensor cloud architecture in charge of monitoring sensitive events and collecting data to provide various, scalable, and secure services. This paper proposes to exploit the powerful capabilities of smartphones in order to use them as physical agents to provide surveillance-based services to customers. A self-reconfigurable Cloud-based smartphone infrastructure is proposed to provide wide range of customized surveillance-based services that exploit the sensing capabilities of these agents. Besides, novel attribute-based encryption protocols are proposed to protect the collected sensing data against forgery, illegal misuse or eavesdropping. After we validate the proposed security protocol using AVISPA, we model several interactions and messages exchanged inside the proposed self-reconfigurable Cloud WSN platform using an emerging communication and networking protocol named the eXtensible Message and Presence Protocol (XMPP).","PeriodicalId":162326,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134320598","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}

In general broadcasting systems, although the server can repetitively broadcast the same data to many clients, they have to wait until they have received all of the data to play them. Many researchers have proposed a division-based broadcasting technique with which the server can reduce the waiting time by dividing the data into several segments and frequently broadcasting precedent segments. When the server delivers highly popular movie data to many clients, the number of simultaneous watchers obviously increases compared with less popular movie data. Therefore, by dynamically updating the available bandwidth and the delivery schedule, the server can reduce the interruption time of movie data. A conventional scheduling method, which dynamically updates the allocation of bandwidth and channel without interruption while playing movie data, has also been proposed. Although this scheduling method has been evaluated in a simulation environment, it has not been evaluated with an effective division-based broadcasting system considering dynamic updates of a delivery schedule in actual network environments. In this paper, we propose a division-based broadcasting system considering the dynamic updates of a delivery schedule. In our proposed system, we design and implement a function that updates the delivery schedule without interruption and evaluate the effectiveness of the scheduling method and the effect of the interruption time in actual networks.","PeriodicalId":162326,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114502928","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 recent introduction of Vulkan provides developers with a new API for writing and tuning GPU applications and can be regarded as an alternative GPGPU programming model especially on mobile platforms. However, programmers might be hindered to adopt Vulkan given the fact that it is low-level and requires significantly higher programming effort. In this paper, we propose VComputeLib, a lightweight runtime library that lowers Vulkan's programmability effort and provides advanced features such as device queue virtualization and granular memory management, enabling developers to write efficient platform-agnostic applications. VComputeLib also integrates a SPIR-V JIT compiler, that allows for applying several compiler optimisations on the compute kernels. Our evaluations show that the programmability of Vulkan is improved substantially with the help of VComputeLib resulting in up to 80% less lines of code and a comparable programming effort to that of OpenCL and CUDA. We also asses the impact of applying different compiler optimisations using VComputeLib on different GPU platforms. Our results show that these optimisations can have variable positive and negative impacts depending on the application and platform in use.","PeriodicalId":162326,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116718182","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}

Various haptic sensations to our skin are produced when our clothes deform. We propose a haptic feedback method using the deformation of clothing. Our method deforms the clothing using the contraction of an actuator consisting of shape memory alloys and springs in order to generate haptic sensations. We implemented a prototype long-sleeve T-shirt placing four actuators around the circumference of the forearm, upper arm, and shoulder. We conducted three evaluations to compare the feedback positions. First, the pressure applied to the skin when an actuator contracted varied depending on the locations of the actuation. Second, as compared to the shoulder, the forearm and upper arm achieved a lower stimulation level at which the participants could detect the deformation of clothing taking place. Finally, participants recognized contraction patterns most accurately on the forearm; however, the accuracy of recognition in the case of the shoulder was the worst. Based on the obtained results, we discuss the feedback performance for each position and present the most effective feedback position and the set of contraction patterns that the user could most easily distinguish.","PeriodicalId":162326,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116658654","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}
