Smart Cards as First-Class Network Citizens

Recent proposals have been made to connect smart cards to the Internet, to meet needs that are not easily satisfied by current smart card interface standards. However, all these proposals require the use of off-card software to do the translation between the world of the Internet and that of the smart card (i.e., proxy architecture). In this paper we present an alternative approach, following t...

Network Interface Cards as First-Class Citizens

Network performance has improved by over an order-ofmagnitude in the past decade. While, the overall system architecture itself has made modification attempts to match such growth, these changes are mostly “incremental enhancements, tweaks and adjustments” that try to keep the hardware control hierarchy away from the network communication path. However, we are rapidly reaching a stage where the...

Health Communication Cards as a Tool for Behaviour Change

Individuals seeking healthcare treatment in the context of obesity often experience difficulty engaging in discussions around their health and face challenges finding consensus with practitioners on care plans that best suit their lives. The complex set of biological, social, and environmental variables that have contributed to the higher prevalence of obesity are well illustrated in the foresi...

Integrating Sensor Measurements through CM Cards as an OMF Service

Several OMF-based testbeds are using Chassis Manager (CM) cards for autonomously controlling and monitoring the status of nodes. CM cards are typically microcontroller boards and can be connected to different kinds of modules, including sensor modules. The NITOS testbed, which has recently adopted the use of CM cards, features various types of sensors connected to them. Measurements can be easi...
