Once modelled, unusual activities may be detected that have the potential of impacting upon a person’s well-being. The use of Petri nets to model ADLs is considered in this research as a means to capture the intricate behaviours of ambient systems. To our best knowledge there has not been extensive work in the related literature, hence the novelty of this work. The ADLs considered in the developed Petri net model are: (i) preparing tea, (ii) preparing coffee, and (iii) preparing pasta. The first two ADLs listed are deemed to have many occurrences during a typical day of an elderly person. The third activity is representative of activities that involve cooking. Hence, abnormal behaviour detected in the context of these activities can be an indicator of a progressive health problem or the occurrence of a hazardous incident. The completion and non- completion of activities are considered in the developed Petri net model and are also formally verified. The description of the sensor system of the kitchen ADLs, its Petri net model and verification results are presented. Results show that the Petri net modelling of ADLs can reliably and effectively reflect the real behaviour of the examined system detecting all the activities of the users that can exhibit both their normal and abnormal behaviour.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132370497","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}

There are several works in the literature aimed at detecting stress levels and conditions through the use of wearable devices. In this paper we investigated the effects of vibro-acoustic therapy (VAT) on physiological signals in a small group of young adults, trying to detect its positive effect on their stress condition. VAT has its origin in 1980s with basic instruments able to transmit music and vibrations. Here, we exploited AcusticA, an innovative VAT solution represented by a wooden chaise longue developed by following the principles of a big soundboard, and thus implementing a whole-body approach. Therapeutic sessions are accompanied by selected relaxing melodies, appropriately composed by a music therapist. We recruited 8 volunteer subjects, working in the same environment and characterised by similar stress conditions. We analysed the main components of ECG and GSR signals in order to highlight physiological responses and their variations between a rest baseline phase and a 20 minute therapy. Results show a general decreasing trend in HR, SCRs and their amplitude, confirming the relaxing component of the therapy.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126210778","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}

Although such data—as well as the knowledge which can be derived from it—is highly beneficial as apps are able to adapt their services appropriate to the respective context, it also poses a privacy threat. Thus, a lot of research work is done regarding privacy. Yet, all approaches obfuscate certain attributes which has a negative impact on context recognition and thus service quality. Therefore, we introduce a novel access control mechanism called PATRON. The basic idea is to control access to information patterns. For instance, a person suffering from diabetes might not want to reveal his or her unhealthy eating habit, which can be derived from the pattern “rising blood sugar level” “adding bread units”. Such a pattern which must not be discoverable by some parties (e. g., insurance companies) is called private pattern whereas a pattern which improves an app's service quality is labeled as public pattern. PATRON employs different techniques to conceal private patterns and, in case of available alternatives, selects the one with the least negative impact on service quality, such that the recognition of public patterns is supported as good as possible.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"6 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131839050","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 recognition of ADLs usually relies on supervised learning or knowledge-based reasoning techniques. In order to overcome the well-known limitations of those two approaches and, at the same time, to combine their strengths to improve the recognition rate, many researchers investigated Markov Logic Networks (MLNs). However, MLNs require a non-trivial effort by experts to properly model probabilities in terms of weights. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on ProbLog. ProbLog is a probabilistic extension of Prolog, which allows to explicitly define probabilistic facts and rules. With respect to MLN, the inference mode of ProbLog is based on the closed-world assumption and it has faster response times. We propose a simple and flexible ProbLog model, which we exploit to recognize complex ADLs in an online fashion. Considering a dataset with 21 subjects, our results show that our method reaches high F-measure (83%). Moreover, we also show that the response time of ProbLog is satisfying for real-time applications.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116507674","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 this paper, we propose a system that leverages the idle compute cycles in a group of heterogeneous mobile and IoT devices that can be clustered to form an edge micro-cloud. At the heart of this system, we formulate a task assignment and scheduling problem that strives to maximize the computational throughput of the constructed micro-cloud while maintaining the energy consumption below an operator specified threshold. Due to the NP-Completeness of this scheduling problem, we design a set of heuristics to solve this problem. We implement a prototype of our system and use it to evaluate its performance and assess its efficiency. Our results demonstrate the system’s ability to utilize the available compute capacity of a group of mobile and IoT devices while adhering to pre-specified energy constraints. Compared to other schedulers, our scheduler achieves 10% to 40% improvement in terms of latency minimization, and up to 30% improvement in terms of computational throughput.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114020237","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}

Despite the numerous benefits of ICT, older adults still present low rates of ICT adoption compared to other population segments. The lack of accessible User Interfaces has been identified as a major barrier. Traditional User Interfaces follow a design for all approach, typically ignoring the needs of older adults. Recent research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) proposes adaptive User Interfaces to suit the individual users abilities. Nevertheless, most of the existing approaches perform adaptation based on user profile groups and do not provide personalized adaptation in real-time. This paper introduces a conceptual framework for developing real-time adaptive User Interfaces. The system aims to target most common issues among older adults, ${i.e.}$cognitive decline and vision loss. The developed conceptual framework also presents novel strategic techniques to assess cognitive load and vision related issues in an unobtrusive manner for the user.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133919877","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, cloud-only implementations do not meet the requirements of industrial applications such as latency, network traffic reduction, and reliability. Fog computing is a promising approach to overcome the limitations of cloud computing in terms of realtime and network utilization. Fog computing already found its application in various areas such as Augmented Reality and Smart Cities. This paper presents two case studies which show the applicability of the fog paradigm for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. IIoT applications are characterized by a high degree of integration and flexibility. The FEAt case study shows how the availability of a system can be increased by using a fog computing architecture and at the same time low latency for the analysis of sensor data can be achieved. In the second case study, FARADAY, we optimize bandwidth utilization in an existing industry environment by applying a fog-based solution. We show, that fog computing is applicable for industrial applications, helps to overcome problems associated with cloud deployments, and leads to reliable applications.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125493931","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, due to latency issues, mobile cloud computing is unsuitable in many situations. Lately, mobile edge computing appeared as a more decentralized paradigm, which utilizes nearby resources. It benefits from the continuously increasing amount and the enhancing performance of end-user devices. Compared to mobile cloud computing, nearby resources are limited, but reachable with a significantly shorter latency. We argue that a combination of both approaches can drastically improve the performance of mobile applications. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid scheduling approach. Beyond centralized scheduling on remote edge and cloud resources, we introduce an ad-hoc scheduling mechanism on nearby edge devices. Our context-aware scheduler considers both options along with the characteristics of the task to decide between an execution in the cloud or in the edge. We use mechanisms for edge device discovery, connection management, and task allocation as well as a context-aware utility function. We integrate our approach into an existing distributed computing system and evaluate the hybrid scheduler within a real-world testbed.","PeriodicalId":190096,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops (PerCom Workshops)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127183312","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}
