abstract = {Pervasive Computing envisions seamless computing support for users while
performing their everyday tasks. Many of these tasks are hard to capture by the
notion of a single application as their requirements on computing support vary
over time. To ease the development of applications for such tasks, we have
designed an application model for process-oriented pervasive applications,
called Sentient Processes, and a supporting middleware system implementing the
flow control for processes. In this paper, we show the capabilities of the
Sentient Process model to capture everyday user tasks by the example of a
process supporting a student in managing his classes during a term.},

geographic areas, is a promising communication paradigm with a wide range of
applications. Geocast target areas can be specified either by geometric figures
or symbolic addresses, such as /usa/fl/miami/market-street.
In this paper, we present a novel geocast routing protocol for symbolically
addressed messages. Compared to geocast protocols based on geometric
information, our protocol can operate on simple symbolic location models, and
message forwarding does not require costly geometric operations. The proposed
protocol is based on an overlay network that is mapped to an IP-based network
infrastructure. The overlay network is structured in a hierarchical fashion, to
ensure a scalable global geocast service supporting also large target areas.
Although our protocol does not rely on a layer 3 multicast protocol, we also
show how to improve the performance of message forwarding by integrating a
light-weight layer 3 multicast protocol. Our evaluations of the protocol
underline the scalability of our approach and show good routing quality leading
to short message paths.},

abstract = {Mobility plays a major role in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), since it
stresses networking tasks such as routing on the one hand, but aids to increase
the network capacity and to overcome network partitioning on the other hand. To
benefit from node mobility, a new class of MANET protocols and applications are
designed to be delay-tolerant and mobility-aided. The main communication
paradigm here is store-and-forward. For delay-tolerant mobility-aided
networking, mobility on a large time-scale is a key feature. So far however, a
few work is done to adapt store-and-forward concepts to the large time-scale
mobility.
Our first step that simplifies the adaptation to node mobility, is a set of
novel mobility metrics. These metrics quantify the mobility on a large
time-scale and are based on the pair-wise contacts between mobile nodes. In
this paper, we show how to exploit these mobility metrics to design an
efficient buffering strategy for hypergossiping, a delay-tolerant
mobility-aided MANET broadcasting protocol. The novel buffering strategy
detects relevant mobility patterns at run-time, using contact-based mobility
metrics, and adapts the buffering decision to the detected mobility pattern.},

abstract = {In the research field of microscopic simulation models for pedestrian mobility
substantial pro-gress was achieved in recent years. The ongoing strong growth
of computational power to-gether with new approaches founding on cellular
automata allows the microscopic simulation of large-scale scenarios like the
evacuation of whole soccer stadiums, as self-organization can be initiated by
using a relatively simple rule set. Recent developments at the Institute for
Road and Transportation Science will now ease the simulation of everyday
situations with multiple source-destination relations as they occur e.g. in
city centers, airport terminals and public transport interchange points.
Regardless of its level of detail, each mobility simulation model is in need of
comprehensive empirical data for validation and calibration purposes. Thereby
macroscopic mobility models, e.g. traffic assignment models, only need cross
sectional data like “vehicles per time seg-ment” for instance. Concerning
pedestrian mobility on the large scale, only macroscopic sur-veys like cordon
counting in a public transport system or traveler flow counting in an airport
terminal have been carried out up to now. However, the empirical data resulting
from these surveys is not suitable for calibrating and validating microscopic
simulation models for pedes-trian traffic, because they only deliver aggregated
traffic flow data. Therefore it was neces-sary to develop a new survey method
which allows the noninvasive recording and analysis of pedestrian traces. In
collaboration with the Institute of Transport Research of the German Aerospace
Center (DLR) a two-day video survey at the Campus Vaihingen of Universit{\"a}t
Stuttgart was carried out. By a network of four wide-angle cameras placed at
strategic viewpoints, a central area of the campus of about 20,000 sqm
incorporating the commuter railway station and the sur-rounding buildings was
recorded at a rate of five frames per second with a spatial resolution of
1024x786 pixels of each camera. In order to analyze the collected imagery of
some giga-bytes of raw data, solutions for several challenges had to be found.
First, suitable tie and control points for georeferencing of the respective
cameras had to be identified. This is re-quired to transform the pedestrians’
trajectories from the respective images to a common reference system. Second,
methods for deriving pedestrian trajectories from consecutive frames as well as
the distinction between pedestrians’ movements and the movement of all other
objects had to be improved. Third, unique tags had to be assigned to the
observed pe-destrians to trace them over the whole monitored area while they
are tracked by the different cameras. The resulting new and unique data set not
only consists of pedestrian traces with decided timestamps at each waypoint, it
also includes the resulting source-destination matrix on which the timestamp
for each pedestrian allows many kinds of statistical operations, e.g. the
computation of the average walking time and standard deviation on different
source-destination relations. The availability of these real traces will
finally enable extensive and high-quality calibration and validation operations
for microscopic simulation models. The dataset may even serve as input
information for simulation in the research field of communi-cation networks, in
particular, in mobile ad hoc networks. In the near future, the detailed
ex-amination of many other problems, such as counter flow, crossing behavior,
and path build-ing phenomena based on real microscopic mobility data will
become possible.},

abstract = {Providing context-awareness in future applications demands for accurate
information about the positions of a potentially large number of mobile
objects. This requires location management systems that are capable of coping
with a huge amount of such highly dynamic data. To efficiently retrieve
relevant information, e.g., all objects located inside a given area, these
systems must utilize adequate index structures. In the past, suitable indexes
have been explored for geometric representations of location information only.
The contribution of this paper is a generic index structure for the efficient
management of symbolic location information. Based on different index variants
an adaptive approach is derived that can be adjusted to accommodate different
ratios of update and retrieval load. Our experimental results show how this can
significantly increase the overall performance of a location management system.},

abstract = {Data Centric Storage (DCS) is a powerful storage paradigm for wireless ad hoc
networks. In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), however, the mobility and varying
density of nodes may significantly impact the efficiency of data access and the
level of data consistency for existing DCS mechanisms. In this paper, we
propose an efficient resilience mechanism for data centric storage that
supports DCS in mobile environments. We introduce a novel indirection strategy
that enables us to distinguish the storage of data at dedicated server nodes
from the storage of additional information to locate these servers. Our
approach places server location information dynamically in strategic parts of
the network based on its current topology. Combining our server location
advertisement with any geographic routing protocol, we provide a robust data
update and query processing technique for data centric storage in MANETs. We
show analytically and by means of experimental evaluations that, despite the
additional indirection during packet forwarding, our approach provides superior
storage and retrieval performance than the original DCS algorithm even for
large amounts of dynamic data.},

to trust network analysis using subjective logic (TNA-SL), that consists of the
three following elements. Firstly it uses a concise notation with which trust
transitivity and parallel combination of trust paths can be expressed. Secondly
it defines a method for simplifying complex trust networks so that they can be
expressed in this concise form. Finally it allows trust measures to be
expressed as beliefs, so that derived trust can be automatically and securely
computed with subjective logic. We compare our approach with trust derivation
algorithms that are based on normalization such as PageRank and EigenTrust. We
also provide a numerical example to illustrates how TNA-SL can be applied.},
