Recent research in ubiquitous computing uses technologies of Body Area Networks (BANs) to monitor the person's kinematics and physiological parameters. In this paper we propose a real time mobile health system for monitoring elderly patients from indoor or outdoor environments. The system uses a biosignal sensor worn by the patient and a Smartphone as a central node. The sensor data is collecte...

Bridges are key elements of transportation infrastructure. Being expensive vital infrastructure, continuous monitoring and preventive maintenance are of the essence. Wireless sensor networks, the technology of the 21 century offers promising features for a wide range of applications including civil infrastructure monitoring. We present an application of sensor networks backed by agent technolog...

In this study, workplace environmental monitoring systems were established using USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks) and LabVIEW. Although existing direct sampling methods enable finding accurate values as of the time points of measurement, those methods are disadvantageous in that continuous management and supervision are difficult and costs for are high when those methods are used. Therefore, the...

Mobile agents are a form of software agents that migrate from device to device, performing their job in an unobtrusive manner. Mobile agents are particularly useful for pervasive computing as they are lightweight processes that allow for the delegation of tasks, have migratory characteristics, and operate regardless of whether the device they are on is connected to the network. However, in orde...

Ubiquitous computing enables computational services pervasive. Web service is an efficient technology to provide interoperability between components dispersed on networks and various devices, regardless of platforms and languages, and thus, is massively used to develop ubiquitous computing applications. In order to provide transparent services in ubiquitous environment, we need to consider vari...

Thermal management for wearable devices is evolving to make ubiquitous applications possible based on advanced featuring miniaturization, integration, and ultrathin designs. control integrated with are highly desirable various human body monitoring, including external heat exposure metabolic generation, in activities. Recently, dynamic change materials have been micro/nano thermal platforms add...

In this paper we propose design and implementation of an ubiquitous energy efficient real time ECG monitoring system using android Smartphone. It is motivated by the increasing awareness of Cardiac arrhythmias and coronary heart disease due to population ageing and stressful modern life. If proper medical care can be given to the patients at the right time their lives can be saved, for that we ...

New wireless technologies, such as wireless LAN and sensor networks, for telecardiology purposes give new possibilities for monitoring vital parameters with wearable biomedical sensors, and give patients the freedom to be mobile and still be under continuous monitoring and thereby better quality of patient care. This paper will detail the architecture and quality-of-service (QoS) characteristic...
