The key variability points are modeled at design time to allow plugin of new functionality at different points in the system. Unfortunately, it is historically shown that the actual adaptability needs at some point differs from the ones predicted.\u0000 We argue that the seams, which are hidden in middleware with seamless design, should be accessible for pervasive computing application developers. It cannot be foreseen which aspects of a seam the domain or application need. We suggest that in addition to modeling the domain variability points the middleware should expose a model of the internal processing mechanisms of the middleware itself. The middleware should support modification of this model. Furthermore, at all places where the middleware achieves the normal seamless use of the domain, the model should be adaptable and adaptations should be absorbed into the middleware.\u0000 We present model-based translucency as a middleware construction goal. The supporting arguments are given and examples of use of models in middleware are compared to the requirements for which we argue.","PeriodicalId":324878,"journal":{"name":"M-MPAC '10","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117145662","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}

Examples include file systems and storage, and communication technologies. All competing solutions typically introduce their own specific functionality, programming models and APIs; this generally forces application programmers to choose a specific solution and build the application for it. There exists exceptions to this unfortunate state of affairs, e.g., Linux includes the Virtual File System (VFS) to decouple applications from specific local storage devices. A similar functionality is provided by the Network File System (NFS), i.e., it decouples the client from the storage server. The communication technologies do not have a similar solution: each technology is different and has its own programming model and API. In this paper we introduce the Virtual Network System (VNS) that combines the concepts of VFS and NFS for communication technologies. Our solution is a middleware that enables a unified API for applications to use any communication technology, local or remote. We describe our architecture and discuss our current implementation that enables communication over IP and VHF radio.","PeriodicalId":324878,"journal":{"name":"M-MPAC '10","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129999794","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 key part of the hidden complexity is the uncertainty associated to positions caused by inherent limitations when using sensors to convert physical phenomena to digital representations. We propose to use the notion of seamful design for developers to design a positioning middleware that provides transparent positioning and still allows developers some control of the uncertainty aspects of the positioning process. The design presented in this paper shows how uncertainty of positioning can be conceptualized and internalized into a positioning middleware. Furthermore, we argue that a developer who is interacting with uncertainty concepts is best supported when provided with a programming method with declarative constructs.","PeriodicalId":324878,"journal":{"name":"M-MPAC '10","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130626398","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}

On this topic, an open issue is related to the analysis and management of the beacon stream by means of a suitable middleware. To this aim, we discuss the design of a Publish-Subscribe based middleware for VANET applications, namely ACME, tailored to accomplish suitable queries over the beacons in a flexible and adaptive way, satisfying the applications requirements.

However, location privacy must be ensured before providing widely disseminated location services. Privacy rules may depend not only on the identity of the requester, but also on past events such as the places visited by the person being located, or previous location queries.\u0000 So, location systems must support the specification and enforcement of security policies allowing users to specify when, how and who can know their location. We propose a middleware platform named Jano1 supporting both pull and push location requests while enforcing configurable security policies. Policies are specified using the Security Policy Language - SPL, facilitating the use of well known security models. In particular, Jano supports history-based policies applied to persons or objects location.\u0000 The system was implemented with the integration of several location technologies (e.g. GPS, Bluetooth, etc.), and dealing with the heterogeneity aspects. It provides an interface that facilitates policy specification and has good performance.","PeriodicalId":324878,"journal":{"name":"M-MPAC '10","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127975377","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}
