Demystifying the Internet of Things

Abstract: In attempting to define the Internet of Things, we should keep in mind that it's fundamentally about communication, computation, sensing, and actuation.

Systems for communicating current location information among mobile internet users and methods therefor

Abstract: A computer-implemented method implemented via the Internet for coordinating a current or future event between a user of a mobile Internet device and other users communicating through the Internet. The method includes receiving the current or future activity information pertaining to the future event from the user via the mobile Internet device. The current activity pertains to an activity occurring at a current time relative to a time the future activity information is received. The future activity pertains to an activity occurring at a future time relative to a time the future activity information is received. The method further includes transmitting the current or future activity information to a backend database coupled to the Internet, the backend database being remote from the mobile Internet device. The method further includes rendering the current or future activity information accessible to at least one recipient via the Internet. The recipient represents a subset of the users coupled to the Internet and having access privilege to information pertaining to the current or future event involving the user.

Uncovering the new wireless interaction paradigm

Abstract: The always connected, mobile consumer is closer to reality than ever before. Ericsson expects the world-wide number of mobile phones to exceed landline phones by 2002 and that there will be more mobile Internet subscribers than fixed Internet subscribers by 2003 (Ericsson Annual Report, 2000). The potential of advanced wireless networks far surpasses today's mobile extensions of PC and Internet applications. But these new applications are not yet clear. Leveraging competence in customer research and interaction design, the human-computer interaction (HCI) community is, therefore, in the perfect position to address a key need of this industry: new application discovery.

Internet of Things: Architecture and Security

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming one of the milestones in the era of communication and networking which is going to determine future of IT. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides connection to users on anywhere, anything, anytime basis, which leads to concern subject of security and privacy. In Internet of Things services are provided using centralized architecture where central entities acquire, process and provide information. In this paper we have focused the security issues for Internet of Things.
