Web technologies are widely used open standards to interconnect devices on virtually any platform. The W3C’s Web of Things effort wants to bring web technologies to the Internet of Things to address the interoperability challenges in this area and to transfer the extensive work on Web standards towards this domain. In this paper, we report on four independently developed implementations whose a...

We live in a changing world, extremely dynamic, resulting in a constant technological evolution which will lead us to an Internet of Things reality, where everything is connected. However, the current 6LoWPAN standard proposed by IETF has some efficiency problems which can make its application on wireless sensor networks not viable. Even though the current literature and implementations already...

Six years after the adoption of the standard 4.0, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), a non-profit association that deals with the study and the development of technology standards including those of Bluetooth, has officially released the main features of Bluetooth 5.0. It is one of the significant developments in short-range wireless communication technology. As stated by the SIG, the ...

The nature of healthcare and the computational and physical technologies and constraints present a number of challenges to systems designers and implementers. In spite of the challenges, there is a significant market for systems and products to support caregivers in their tasks as the number of people needing assistance grows substantially. In this paper we present a structured approach for des...

We recognize the importance of data, especially in the period of Internet of Things. However, effectively collecting social data from different sources and analyzing relationships between them to understand our society is actually a big challenge. SocioScope is built to solve this problem. Besides, we recognize that many researchers are spending time for conducting same work (i.e., collecting a...
