Mobile crowdsensing is power hungry since it requires continuously and simultaneously sensing, processing and uploading fused data from various sensor types including motion sensors and environment sensors. Realizing that being able to pinpoint change points of contexts enables energy-efficient mobile crowdsensing, we modify histogram-based techniques to efficiently detect changes, which has less computational complexity and performs better than the conventional techniques. To evaluate our proposed technique, we conducted experiments on real audio databases comprising 200 sound tracks. We also compare our change detection with multivariate normal distribution and one-class support vector machine. The results show that our proposed technique is more practical for mobile crowdsensing. For example, we show that it is possible to save 80% resource compared to standard continuous sensing while remaining detection sensitivity above 95%. This work enables energy-efficient mobile crowdsensing applications by adapting to contexts.

W-FiCloud 2016. 22–24 August 2016 - Vienna, Austria; International audience; The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, transportation and so on.IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner.The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

The Data Acquisition (DAQ) System of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) RPC test station was built in National Centre for Physics (NCP) during the year 2004-2005 with joint efforts by NCP and PAEC groups. The system is based on the NIM, VME and CAMAC technologies which allowed users to test 10 RPCs simultaneously. With the help of our facility more than 300 RPCs were tested and finally shipped to CERN. This note describes different components of the DAQ in detail and presents a few results from the online DAQ.

In this note, we have described the quality assurance tests performed for endcap Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) at two different sites, Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and National Centre for Physics (NCP), in Pakistan. This paper describes various quality assurance tests both at the level of gas gaps and the chambers. The data has been obtained at different time windows during the large scale production of CMS RPCs of RE2/2 and RE2/3 type. In the quality assurance tests, we have investigated parameters like dark current, strip occupancy, cluster size and efficiency of RPCs.

Internet of things (IoT) is global network of interconnected entities aimed at automating our lives. However, a number of IoT devices and systems have been created in parallel and there is no universal coding language and communication protocol. For this reason, IoT interoperability is a complex research and practical problem. In this work, we review existing work about IoT interoperability and IoT ontologies. Next, we propose a framework for things as a service interoperability that includes composition of different sensors and actuators at service level, and their integration with existing cloud services. The proposed framework consists of four main layers: virtual sensor, service, semantic, and interoperability layer. We plan to use the proposed framework to achieve service-level interoperability of smart things that will be semantically annotated in order to describe their functional and non-functional properties (with special emphasis on security and privacy).

© 2014 IEEE. Analyzing the scalability and quality of service of large scale distributed systems requires a highly scalable benchmarking framework with built-in communication and synchronisation functionality, which are features that are lacking in current load generation tools. This paper documents Scalar, our distributed, extensible scalability analysis tool that can generate high request volumes using multiple communicating, coordinated nodes. We show how Scalar offers analytics capabilities that support the Universal Scalability Law. We illustrate Scalar on an electronic payment case study, and find that the framework supports complex work flows and is able to characterize and give predictive insights into the quality of service and relative capacity of the system under test in function of the user load. ispartof: pages:497-504 ispartof: 2014 International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud pages:497-504 ispartof: IEEE International Symposium on Performance Modeling and Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Networks location:Barcelona date:27 Aug - 29 Aug 2014 status: published

© 2014 IEEE. The scalability of a software system is greatly impacted by the scalability of the underlying access control system, which makes analyzing the scalability of that access control system paramount. However, this is not trivial, as contemporary access control systems have a myriad of architectural deployment variations, each of which has a potentially large impact on overall system throughput. There is a need for a systematic approach to map these architectural variations to a reference model which allows to make comparisons and to identify trade-offs. This work provides a piece of the puzzle by demonstrating how this can be achieved by systematically applying the Universal Scalability Law (USL). We illustrate our approach by performing a rigorous scalability analysis of the OpenAM access control system for various deployment alternatives in the domain of authentication. We conclude that the approach is able to provide both qualitative and quantitative results which can be translated into practical operational recommendations for the envisioned types of system deployments. ispartof: pages:505-512 ispartof: 2014 International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud pages:505-512 ispartof: IEEE International Symposium on Performance Modeling and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Networks location:Barcelona date:27 Aug - 29 Aug 2014 status: published
