This paper presents a novel input device design for capturing gestures. The system is based on commodity components and combines accelerometers, gyroscopes and bend sensors. It is a low-power, low-cost hand device, characterized by extreme wearability thanks to wireless communication support

provide fine-grained power measurement for physical devices instead of virtualized resources. In this paper, we proposed a novel power measuring technique, which uses performance monitoring counters (PMC) as basic indicator of virtual machine’s power consumption. Meanwhile, we also designed a scheduling

radio channel periodically. Consequently, communications will not suffer from the same interference each time; instead, it should be fairer and more stable. This thesis investigates the aforementioned problem in the field of low power wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things where Contiki OS

Per has in a seemingly easy way spotted erroneous assumptions, has valued my research contributions, and has connected my own work with another broader world of research. I want to thank all colleagues in the Networked

devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and other data sources are increasingly bridging the gap between the physical and digital world by providing fine-grained data about real-world events. Enterprise software systems are adopting the paradigm of event-based systems (EBS) to enable them to react

architecture that can be easily tailored for devices with a wide range of resources, allowing resource-constrained devices to provide services while leveraging the capabilities of more powerful devices. Servilla has been implemented on TinyOS for two representative hardware platforms (Imote2 and Telos

Abstract—Arduino is an open source platform that offers a clear and simple environment for physical computing. It is now widely used in modern robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, due in part to its low-cost, ease of programming, and rapid prototyping capabilities. Sensors
