abstract = {The on-line processing of high volume data streams is a prerequisite for many
modern applications relying on real-time data such as global sensor networks or
multimedia streaming. In order to achieve efficient data processing and
scalability w.r.t. the number of distributed data sources and applications,
in-network processing of data streams in an overlay network of data processing
operators has been proposed. For such stream processing overlay networks, the
placement of operators onto physical hosts plays an important role for the
resulting quality of service—in particular, the endto- end latency—and network
load. To this end, we present an enhanced placement algorithm that minimizes
the network load put onto the system by a stream processing task under
userdefined delay constraints in this paper. Our algorithm finds first the
optimal solution in terms of network load and then degrades this solution to
find a constrained optimum. In order to reduce the overhead of the placement
algorithm, we included mechanisms to reduce the search space in terms of hosts
that are considered during operator placement. Our evaluations show that this
approach leads to an operator placement of high quality solution while inducing
communication overhead proportional only to a small percentage of the total
hosts.},

abstract = {Workflows are increasingly becoming a universal means for driving and
coordinating complex processes, not only in the business world but also in
areas like pervasive computing. Pervasive flows run in parallel with the
user{\^a}€™s real-world actions and are synchronized using automatically collected
context information about her current activities (context events). Respective
workflows cannot be rigidly defined since the user needs to retain her
flexibility and must not be obstructed by the workflow. However, if the order
of activities is not defined until the activities are actually executed,
correctly assigning the uncertain context events becomes a major challenge. We
propose FlexCon {\^a}€“ a novel event assignment approach for such human-oriented
workflows that is based on hybrid workflow models and Dynamic Bayesian
Networks. FlexCon exploits the dependency between context events to provide
more accurate information as to which events need to be consumed by which
workflow activities. Our evaluations show that FlexCon improves the event
accuracy on average by 54\% and the number of successful completed flows on
average by 88\%. Thus, FlexCon represents a major step towards unobtrusive
pervasive applications.},

abstract = {Context-based communication allows for the dissemination of messages to mobile
users with a specified context, i.e., at a location and with certain attribute
values. This enables, e.g., a message to students on campus attending a certain
class, with information about a study group for an upcoming exam. An overlay
network of context-aware routers efficiently disseminate the messages to all
matching receivers. Directed forwarding of such messages requires that the
routers maintain knowledge about the contexts of connected users. Global
knowledge, i.e., each router knowing about every user, scales poorly, though,
because of the necessary updates.
To overcome this challenge, a router can selectively propagate context
information that actually allows its neighbors to prune a message distribution
tree. In this paper, we present an approach to adaptively propagate only those
user contexts that offer a reduction in overall system load. The algorithm
automatically and locally adapts to the observed messages and user contexts on
each node.
Our solution significantly improves the scalability of the system by reducing
the overall load by almost 50\%.},

To address this issue, we propose MapCorrect: An automatic map correction and

mobile devices to correct a given road map and validate it. Since the
collection of GPS data raises concerns about the energy consumption of the
participating mobile devices, we tackle this issue by introducing a selective

up to 50\% of energy on the mobile phones can be saved while not impairing the

services at the right time. As the needs of humans are often coupled to their
future context, the ability to predict relevant changes in a user's context is
a key factor for providing intelligence and proactivity. Current context
prediction systems only allow applications to query for the next user context
(e.g. the user's next location). This severely limits the benefit of context
prediction since these approaches cannot answer more expressive time-dependent
queries (e.g. will the user enter location X within the next 10 minutes?).
Neither can they handle predictions of multi-dimensional context (e.g. activity
and location). We propose PreCon, a new approach to predicting
multi-dimensional context. PreCon improves query expressiveness, providing
clear formal semantics by applying stochastic model checking methods. PreCon is
composed of three major parts: a stochastic model to represent context changes,
an expressive temporal-logic query language, and stochastic algorithms for
predicting context. In our evaluations, we apply PreCon to real context traces
from the domain of healthcare and analyse the performance using well-known
metrics from information retrieval. We show that PreCon reaches an F-score

abstract = {Many application classes such as monitoring applications, involve processing a
massive amount of data from a possibly huge number of data sources. Complex
Event Processing (CEP) has evolved as the paradigm of choice to determine
meaningful situations (complex events) by performing stepwise correlation over
event streams. To keep up with the high scalability demands of growing input
streams, recent approaches distribute event correlation over several
correlation nodes. However, the distribution of event correlation severely
limits the reliability of a CEP system. Already a failure of a single
correlation node impacts the correctness of the final correlation result.
Increasing the availability by a naive application of established replication
principles introduces new problems in the context of CEP. In particular,
ensuring the lossless delivery of events and the detection of duplicate events
before processing them is a challenging task. In this paper, we illustrate the
importance of a strong reliability semantics for CEP in the context of a
monitoring application in a distributed production environment. Strong
reliability ensures each complex event is detected and delivered exactly once
to each application entity. We present a replication scheme which ensures
strong reliability in an asynchronous system model and can be applied to an
arbitrary distributed CEP system. The algorithm tolerates f simultaneous
failures by introducing f additional replicas for each correlation node. We
prove correctness as well as evaluate the overhead introduced by the algorithm.
Results show, that the overhead scales linearly with the number of deployed
replicas and the node failure rate.},

abstract = {Complex Event Processing (CEP) is of increasing importance in many industrial
applications to integrate a huge number of events in a scalable manner. A core
challenge towards scalable CEP is to efficiently distribute the rules which
define how correlations between events can be detected within an event
processing network. Furthermore, migration of rules is essential to adapt to
changing conditions. While recently significant effort has been spent on
optimizing CEP with respect to dedicated optimization goals, such as minimizing
latency and bandwidth usage, there remains a fundamental gap in supporting
requirements that emerge from deploying CEP over heterogeneous and independent
processing environments. Heterogeneity typically imposes many constraints on
the placement of rules, which increases the complexity of the underlying
optimization problem and cannot be handled efficiently by existing solutions.
In this paper we examine the distributed placement, migration and optimization
of rules in the context of the constraint optimization problem to minimize
network usage. We propose and evaluate a placement algorithm that efficiently
finds valid solutions in scenarios where the solution space is heavily
restricted by constraints. The algorithm operates in a decentralized way and is
adaptive to dynamic changes of processing nodes, rules, and load
characteristics of the event processing network. The optimization algorithm
adopts techniques from simulated annealing to avoid local minima. Furthermore,
the proposed rule migration policies resolve invalid placements quickly and
therefore ensure high availability. The evaluations show that the proposed
algorithm is able to efficiently find near optimum solutions within heavy
constraint-driven network conditions.},

abstract = {Pervasive computing and business process modeling are joining forces, as mobile
human users shall be seamlessly integrated into business processes. This
current trend gains momentum. In respective scenarios, humans use mobile
devices and wireless communication technology to interact with electronic
workflows that are entirely running in some powerful back-end infrastructure.
However, the high degree of interaction between humans and their workflows
causes a high communication overhead, which consumes a significant amount of
energy on the mobile devices. This incurs a negative impact on the usability
and on the efficiency of the overall business process due to rapidly drained
batteries and the resulting short life-times of the devices and applications.
We present an approach based on the well-known minimum-cut algorithm for
reducing the costly data transmissions during workflow execution by
distributing parts of a workflow to the users' devices. Our main motivation is
to reduce the energy consumption on the mobile devices and, thus, avoid
situations in which batteries are drained in the field, rendering the usage of
mobile devices more efficient. We prove that our algorithm finds the optimal
solution for a given network and a workflow. Our evaluations show that our
approach decreases the energy consumed on mobile devices by 32-37\% compared to
an approach where the entire workflow is executed in a central infrastructure.
Thus, if mobile devices are primarily used for executing workflows (as seen in
application domains like logistics and health care), one third of the energy
can be saved. This either means that devices have to be charged less
frequently, leading to less distraction in the business process, or that mobile

abstract = {Stream processing has evolved as a paradigm for efficiently sharing and
integrating a massive amount of data into applications. However, the
integration of globally dispersed sensor data imposes challenges in the
effective utilization of the IT infrastructure that forms the global sensor
network. Especially, simulations require the integration of sensor streams at
widely differing spatial and temporal resolutions. For current stream
processing solutions it is necessary to generate a separate data stream for
each requested resolution. Therefore, these systems will suffer from high
redundancy in data streams, wasting a significant amount of bandwidth and
limiting their scalability.
This paper presents a new approach to scalable distributed stream processing of
data which stems from globally dispersed sensor networks. The approach supports
applications in establishing continuous queries for sensor data at different
resolutions and ensures efficient bandwidth usage of the data distribution
network. Unlike existing work in the context of video stream processing which
provides multiple resolutions by establishing separate channels for each
resolution, this paper presents a stream processing system that can efficiently
split/combine data streams in order to decrease/increase their resolution
without loss in data precision. In addition the system provides mechanisms for
load balancing of sensor data streams that allow efficient utilization of the
bandwidth of the global sensor network.},

abstract = {Network emulation is an efficient method for evaluating distributed
applications and communication protocols by combining the benefits of real
world experiments and network simulation. The process of network emulation
involves the execution of connected instances of the software under test
(called virtual nodes) in a controlled environment. In previous work, we
introduced an approach to minimize the runtime of network emulation experiments
based on prior known average resource requirements of virtual nodes.
In this paper, we introduce NETbalance, a novel approach to runtime reduction
for experiments with unknown or varying resource requirements. NETbalance
migrates virtual nodes during an experiment to distribute the load evenly
across the physical nodes, avoiding overloaded nodes and exploiting the idle
resources on underloaded nodes for speeding up the experiment execution. We
make the following contributions: First, we present an emulation architecture
for efficiently supporting live migration of virtual nodes. Second, we propose
a cost model for determining the runtime reduction achieved through the
migration. Third, we introduce an algorithm for calculating placements that
minimize the experiment runtime. Our evaluations of the NETbalance prototype
show, that it is able to reduce the experiment runtime by up to 70\%.},

humans as unobtrusively as possible in the execution of their activities, it is
important to keep the interaction time experienced by humans as low as
possible. The time required for such interactions is influenced by two factors:
First, by the runtime of the services that are used by a workflow during an
interaction. Second, by the time required to transfer data between workflow
servers and services that may be distributed in a global network. We propose an
algorithm that computes a suitable distribution of a workflow in such a
network. The goal of our algorithm is to minimize the time required for
interactions between a human and a workflow. Current approaches in the domain
of workflow optimization pay little attention towards optimizing a workflow to
increase the usability for humans. We show the feasibility of our approach by
comparing our algorithm with two non-distributed approaches and a distributed
approach which is based on a greedy algorithm and show that our algorithm
outperforms these approaches.},

abstract = {Many novel location-based services (LBS) such as a friend finder service
require knowledge about the positions of mobile users. Usually, location
services are used to manage these positions, and for providing basic
functionality like spatial range queries or spatial events to the LBS.
Managing and using the positions of mobile users raises privacy issues, in
particular, if the providers of LBS and location services are only partially
trusted. Many different approaches for preserving a user's privacy have been
proposed in the literature, e.g. location obfuscation and the k-anonymity
concept. However, most of them are not suitable if both LBS and location
service providers are non-trusted. In contrast to these approaches, we present
a novel approach for the secure management of private position information in
partially trusted system environments. The main contribution in this paper is a
position sharing concept which allows for the distribution of position
information (shares) of strictly limited accuracy onto several location servers
of different providers. With this approach, a compromised server will only
reveal information of limited accuracy. Moreover, we will show how position
shares of coarse granularity from multiple location servers can be fused into
information of higher precision to satisfy the accuracy requirements of
different LBS.},

Complex Event Processing on sensor data has to be dependable and timely and
requires precise data. In this position paper, we propose an approach to
integrate the contradicting optimization goals of energy-efficient wireless
sensor networks and dependable situation detection. It separates the system
into the following tiers: First, to support energy-efficiency and allow sparse,
unconnected sensor networks, we exploit the mobility of people through Delay
Tolerant Networking for collecting sensor data. This frees sensor nodes from
energy-expensive routing. Second, we employ Diagnostic Simulation which
provides data that is complete, precise and in time and therefore supports

objects (MOs), which are determined by sensing devices like GPS receivers. In
this paper, we tackle two challenges in processing continuous range queries
(CRQs): coping with data uncertainty inherently associated with location data,
and reducing the energy consumption of battery-powered MOs. We propose the
concept of spatiotemporal tolerance for CRQ to relax a query's accuracy
requirements in terms of a maximal acceptable error. Unlike previous works, our
definition considers tolerance in both the spatial and temporal dimensions,
which offers applications more flexibility in specifying their individual
accuracy requirements. As we will show, these tolerance bounds can provide
well-defined query semantics in spite of different sources of data uncertainty.
In addition, we present efficient algorithms that carefully control when an MO
should sense or report a location, while satisfying these tolerances. Thereby,
we particularly reduce the number of position sensing operations substantially,
which constitute a considerable source of energy consumption. Extensive
simulations confirm that the proposed algorithms result in large energy savings
compared to nontolerant query processing.},

animals, and other mobile objects. A crucial problem is how to efficiently
track an object's trajectory in real-time, in particular if the trajectory data
is sensed at the mobile object and thus has to be communicated over a wireless
network. We propose a family of tracking protocols that allow trading the
communication cost and the amount of trajectory data stored at a MOD off
against the spatial accuracy. With each of these protocols, the MOD manages a
simplified trajectory that does not deviate by more than a certain accuracy
bound from the actual movement. Moreover, the different protocols enable
several trade-offs between computational costs, communication cost, and the
reduction in the trajectory data: Connection-Preserving Dead Reckoning
minimizes the communication cost using dead reckoning, a technique originally
designed for tracking an object's current position. Generic Remote Trajectory
Simplification (GRTS) further separates between tracking of the current
position and simplification of the past trajectory and can be realized with
different line simplification algorithms. For both protocols, we discuss how to
bound the space consumption and computing time at the moving object and thereby
present an effective compression technique to optimize the reduction
performance of real-time line simplification in general. Our evaluations with
hundreds of real GPS traces show that a realization of GRTS with a simple
simplification heuristic reaches 85-90\% of the best possible reduction rate,
given by retrospective offline simplification. A realization with the optimal
line simplification algorithm by Imai and Iri even reaches more than 97\% of the
best possible reduction rate.},

user-specific needs but also significantly improves the utilization of the

subscribers to dynamically adjust the granularity of their subscriptions
according to their bandwidth constraints and delay requirements. Subscribers
maintain the publish/subscribe overlay in a decentralized manner by
establishing connections to peers that provide messages meeting exactly their
