Pervasive and Mobile Computing

In a mobile ad hoc network, tracking protocols need to deal with-in addition to the mobility of the target-the mobility of the intermediate nodes that maintain a track toward the target. To address this problem, we propose the MDQT (Mobility-enhanced ...

In this study we revisit Weiser's (1991) [5] vision of seamlessly integrated computing. We focus on nomadic workers who rely extensively on mobile technologies to conduct work. Using Star and Ruhleder's (1996) [10] properties of infrastructure, we ...

The processing capabilities of mobile devices coupled with portable and wearable sensors provide the basis for new context-aware services and applications tailored to the user environment and daily activities. In this article, we describe the approach ...

Detailed monitoring of training sessions of elite athletes is an important component of their training. In this paper we describe an application that performs a precise segmentation and labeling of swimming sessions. This allows a comprehensive ...

We introduce a wearable pedestrian indoor localization system with dynamic position correction. The system uniquely combines dead reckoning and fiducial marker-based localization schemes, exclusively using widely available, low end and low power ...

With more and more everyday artifacts being equipped with networked embedded systems technology, their spatial situation or context-such as where they are located or whether two of them are near or far apart from each other-is becoming increasingly ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) holds the promise of real-time identifying, locating, tracking and monitoring physical objects without line of sight, and it can be used for a wide range of pervasive computing applications. To achieve these goals, ...
