Privacy-Aware Service Integration

by Pierre Parrend, Stephane Frenot
"... Privacy mechanisms exist for monolithic systems. How-ever, pervasive environments that gather user data to sup-port advanced services provide little control over the data an individual releases. This is a strong inhibitor for the de-velopment of pervasive systems, since most users do not ac-cept tha ..."

-cept that their personal information is sent out to the wild, and potentially passed over to third party systems. We therefore propose a framework to support user con-trol over the data made available to service providers in the context of an OSGi based Extensible Service Systems. A formal privacy model is defined

An Evaluation Framework for Adaptive Security for the IoT in eHealth

by Wolfgang Leister, Norsk Regnesentral, Stefan Poslad, Mohamed Hamdi, Habtamu Abie, Arild Torjusen
"... Abstract—We present an assessment framework to evaluate adaptive security algorithms specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT) in eHealth applications. The successful deployment of the IoT depends on ensuring security and privacy, which need to adapt to the processing capabilities and resource u ..."

use of the IoT. We develop a framework for the assessment and validation of context-aware adaptive security solutions for the IoT in eHealth that can quantify the characteristics and requirements of a situation. We present the properties to be fulfilled by a scenario to assess and quantify

A Distributed Test System Architecture for Open-source IoT Software

by Philipp Rosenkranz , Matthias Wählisch , Emmanuel Baccelli , Ludwig Ortmann
"... ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss challenges that are specific to testing of open IoT software systems. The analysis reveals gaps compared to wireless sensor networks as well as embedded software. We propose a testing framework which (a) supports continuous integration techniques, (b) allows for t ..."

Towards the Implementation of IoT for Environmental Condition Monitoring in Homes

by Adithyavarma , Y Srinivas
"... Abstract: In this paper, we have reported an effective implementation of monitoring regular domestic conditions by means of low cost ubiquitous sensing system. The description about the integrated network architecture and the interconnecting mechanisms for the reliable measurement of parameters by ..."

by smart sensors and transmission of data via zigbee is being presented. The longitudinal learning system was able to provide a self-control mechanism for better operation of the devices in monitoring stage. The framework of the monitoring system is based on a combination of pervasive distributed sensing

A Knowledge-based Approach for Real-Time IoT Data Stream Annotation and Processing

by Maria Bermudez-edo, Daniel Puschmann, Frieder Ganz, Payam Barnaghi
"... Abstract—Internet of Things is a generic term that refers to interconnection of real-world services which are provided by smart objects and sensors that enable interaction with the physical world. Cities are also evolving into large intercon-nected ecosystems in an effort to improve sustainability a ..."

and operational efficiency of the city services and infrastructure. However, it is often difficult to perform real-time analysis of large amount of heterogeneous data and sensory information that are provided by various sources. This paper describes a framework for real-time semantic annotation of streaming IoT

IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL 1 The Power of Models: Modeling Power Consumption for IoT devices

by Borja Martinez, Ignasi Vilajosana, Joan Daniel Prades
"... era are still unable to provide the reliability needed by the industrial world, particularly in terms of the wireless operation that pervasive deployments demand. While industrial wireless performance has achieved an acceptable degree in communi-cations, it is no easy task to determine an efficient ..."

A critical role for the right fronto-insular cortex in switching between central-executive and default-mode networks.

by Devarajan Sridharan , † ‡ , Daniel J Levitin , Vinod Menon - Proc Natl Acad Sci USA , 2008
"... Cognitively demanding tasks that evoke activation in the brain's central-executive network (CEN) have been consistently shown to evoke decreased activation (deactivation) in the default-mode network (DMN). The neural mechanisms underlying this switch between activation and deactivation of larg ..."

FIC, in particular, plays a critical role in the interoceptive awareness of both stimulus-induced and stimulus-independent changes in homeostatic states (9, 10). Furthermore, the FIC and ACC share a unique feature at the neuronal level: The human FIC-ACC network has a specialized class of neurons with distinctive
