However, their usually restricted size raises usability issues. A need is emerging for utilization and collaboration with devices in the user's reach that provide advanced capabilities. The 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is making an important contribution toward this direction, through specifications for distribution and replication of a multimedia session's media components to multiple devices that either belong to the same or different subscriptions. The IMS Service Continuity capability enables the transfer of one or more media components of an IMS session across different user devices. Although IMS can handle the media flow transfer, the user is still required to be engaged in a tedious device discovery and configuration process. We propose an out-of-band signaling mechanism, based on Near Field Communication (NFC) connectivity for fast and effortless initialization of a collaborative multimedia session between devices in close proximity that may involve the transfer of one or more media flows among them. We specify the utilization of an intuitive NFC touch interface for (a) user and device discovery and (b) negotiation of media stream properties (e.g. encoding, transport protocol) during the transfer of a media flow among different devices.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

Equally important, there is a lack of tools that can support AAL system/application developers to implement systemic and affordable solutions. The objective of this work is to illustrate the design and development of a basic AAL application devoted to physical activity monitoring by exploiting the universAAL open platform and tools. Our main goal is to illustrate the procedure that developers have to follow for such a development as well as the benefits offered from the adoption of universAAL in terms of extensibility and interoperability.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

We demonstrate the necessity to consider hitherto underexplored user-inclusive requirements which address psychological and socio-emotional needs of users. Using a qualitative methodology, including focus groups and interviews, our results showed that the design of the intelligent walker for older adults has to address issues of anticipated or experienced socio-emotional and psychological costs, including self-consciousness, pride, embarrassment, fear of being stigmatised and not wanting to admit a need. We suggest potential design strategies to increase emotional benefits and reduce psychological and emotional costs associated with use of assistive technology, thus facilitating product adoption.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

A two-layer architecture based on the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) methodology is considered as the main tool to encode medical knowledge and reason about the health status of seniors. This is the initial step, since outputs of several discrete FCM models are then combined to form the input concepts for an upper level schema (the health status of the senior) of upper-level concepts and relationships, so as to infer about recommended individualized therapies and interventions that would help therapists to prevent risky situations and enhance the independence and quality of life of the seniors. A modeling sample of the depression assessment is presented at the first level of the proposed architecture, while am integration schema of the proposed approach provides a view of our future extended model.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

The context-awareness of these types of applications typically focuses on the services offered. In this paper we describe a framework that supports the monitoring and analysis of mobile application usage patterns with the goal of updating user models for adaptive services and user interface personalisation. This paper focuses on two aspects of the framework. The first is the modelling and storage of the usage data. The second focuses on the data mining component of the framework, outlining the five different capabilities of the adaptation in addition to the algorithms used. The proposed framework has been evaluated through specific case studies, with the results attained demonstrating the effectiveness of the data mining capabilities and in particular the adaptation of the User Interface. The accuracy and efficiency of the algorithms used are also evaluated with three users. The results of the evaluation show that the aims of the data mining component were achieved with the personalisation and adaptation of content and user interface, respectively.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

To identify and isolate such nodes is essential in pervasive computing environments where WSNs have numerous applications. We model a three player non-cooperative game, to study the interactions between an insider and the Intrusion Detection Systems used in a WSN. By solving the game, we locate the Nash equilibria to determine how players should play it. Examining these equilibria, useful suggestions for recommended strategies can be made. Properly selected strategies assist a compromised node's identification and its subsequent isolation.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

The elderly often live alone and receive only irregular visits. Due to impaired physical skills the probability of falls significantly increases. The detection of falls is a crucial aspect in the care of elderly. Falls are often detected very late with severe consequential damages. There are existing approaches for automatic fall detection. They usually deploy special external devices. Elderly people often do not accept these devices because they expose their frailty. In this paper, we present a location-independent fall detection method implemented as a smartphone application for an inconspicuous use in nearly every situation of the daily life. The difficulty of our approach is in the low resolution range of integrated acceleration sensors and the limited energy supply of the smartphone. As solution, we apply a modular threshold-based algorithm which uses the acceleration sensor with moderate energy consumption. Its fall detection rate is in the average of current relevant research.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

In this context, acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in pediatrics is a suitable model for guidelines implementation and CPGs are available and very straightforward. Unfortunately, CPGs for AGE are poorly applied and most children receive not needed interventions. Mobile learning is a collaborative form of learning that can be used as a strategy of implementation for CPGs, for its portability and spreading capacity at a reasonable cost. In this paper we describe the development of a smartphone/tablet application for physicians providing guided decision making and carrying guidelines content about pediatric AGE in order to implement the pivotal recommendations from the CPGs and to foster their diffusion.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...
