Social networking on the Web has become an integral part of our lives. Merging of computing with physical things enabled the conversion of everyday objects into information appliances. This merging allows Smart Homes to offer new automation possibilities to their residents. We propose utilizing existing social networking infrastructures and their Web-based APIs in order to integrate Smart Homes to the Web, offering social status to physical devices. We exploit the functionality and the Web 2.0 technologies provided by Facebook to transform the interaction with the Smart Home into a shared, social experience. A preliminary technical evaluation indicates that our approach is feasible and it offers acceptable performance. This work has been presented at the 21st Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal,Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC 2010), Istanbul, Turkey, September 2010.

Luxury home automation wasn’t a face of everyday life. Today it is, though gradually! Directly controlling and seamlessly staying connected with the home systems you use every day via a mobile device would significantly enhance your quality of life. It is not only about remotely controlling the lights, AC, fan, audio systems, curtains, television, kitchen appliances, garage doors, sprinklers from your smartphone from anywhere. Again it is not merely about regularly monitoring the security of your home and your kids from your workplace miles away. It is all about convenience and safety. It is about exploiting the latest of what technology has on offer. It is about saving energy significantly and contributing to the creation of a greener earth through use of energy efficient systems. A smart home offers all of these – comfort, convenience, monetary savings, and safety. Smart Automation has emerged as a reliable and leading service provider in this segment.

Semelhante a Social Networking of the Smart Home

Social networking is a core part of the global online experience. The Web 2.0 has been transformed into a social Web, extending the social capabilities of users. A big challenge for the Web is to become ubiquitous, blended with the everyday life of people. The Pervasive Web would be effectively enabled when physical things are seamlessly connected to the Web, offering real-world services to users. In a previous work, we examined the feasibility of utilizing existing online social networking platforms, to create a social smart home that promotes sharing of sensor and household devices between family members. In this presentation, we present some early experiences obtained from developing two real-world social applications, the first for environmental monitoring in a farm and the second for increasing energy awareness by sharing electricity consumption information between friends. Through these two deployments, we demonstrate the potential benefits of giving a social texture to pervasive applications. This work has been presented at the Sixth International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications (BWCCA), Barcelona, Spain, October 2011.

Lessons Learned from Online Social Networking of Physical Things

Andreas Kamilaris

Household appliances are being equipped with embedded micro-controllers and wireless transceivers, offering smart behavior. These augmented appliances form wireless networks and transform residential areas into smart homes. Advancements such as the effective penetration of the Internet in embedded computing and the promising practice of the Web of Things, allow the realization of Web-oriented smart homes. In a previous work, we developed a Web-based application framework for smart homes, supporting concurrent interaction from multiple family members. In this paper, we improve the functionality of our system by including a 6LoWPAN-based wireless sensor network inside the home environment, addressing issues such as device discovery and service description. Web techniques such as HTTP caching and push messaging, facilitate the efficient operation of a fully Web-based smart home. Through a technical evaluation, we show the benefits of directly Web-enabling embedded sensors in terms of performance and energy conservation. The development of a Web-based graphical application abstracts home automation procedure for typical residents. This project has been presented at the 18th International Conference on Telecommunications (ICT 2011), Ayia Napa, Cyprus, May 2011.

HomeWeb: An Application Framework for Web-based Smart Homes

Andreas Kamilaris

New technological advancements allow the Internet to penetrate in embedded computing. IPv6 envisions to merge the physical and the digital world, through the Internet. The Web of Things interconnects the expanding ecosystem of Internet-enabled embedded devices, by reusing well-accepted and understood Web principles. In this talk, we will present the development of a Web-based application framework for smart homes, supporting concurrent interaction from multiple family members. By employing intermediate request queues, associated with the physical devices of the smart home, our analysis shows that we can mask transmission failures and faults that occur in the wireless environment, thus enhancing the performance of smart home operations by means of fast retransmissions, load balancing and request priority techniques. In our analysis, we also derive formulas for estimating the response time of requests and for setting the request queue retransmission interval, an important design parameter of the system. In this way, reliability and timely responses from the devices are ensured. We demonstrate that, by using the Web as application layer, flexible applications for smart homes can be built, on top of heterogeneous embedded devices, with little effort. We address many issues related to Web-enabling household devices, from their local discovery and service description to the uniform interaction with them. Our technical evaluation indicates that the process of Web-enabling physical devices offers satisfactory performance, mainly in terms of response time and energy consumption, while modern Web techniques such as Web caching and event-based Web messaging can contribute in facilitating smart home operations. Through various case studies, we demonstrate that Web-based, energy-aware smart homes have the potential to provide flexible solutions to challenges such as energy awareness and conservation, and be smoothly integrated with the smart grid of electricity. Finally, this talk discusses some future research challenges, beyond the home environment, in which Web-based smart homes may constitute crucial elements in order to address them effectively.

How can an app help the fight against COVID-19? Combating the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic requires the rapid identification of people who have come into recent contact with confirmed cases of the SARS-Cov-2 virus. This allows for timely interventions such as evacuation and disinfection of spaces and for assistance in locating people who have been close to a carrier or have been exposed to the virus, so that they too can be appropriately tested or treated. CovTracer is a mobile app for location tracking. It has been used at a country-scale experiment in Cyprus with more than 10,000 users. The app aims to contribute to the reduction of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our country. The app was developed by a team of researchers and experts at RISE. Andreas Kamilaris is an MRG leader at RISE and the key topics of this presentations are: - Need for ICT and mobile apps - CovTracer features - Aspects of privacy in contact tracing - Initial results - Future plans

Intensive farming has been linked to excessive accumulation of heavy metals and other contaminants on soil, and to significant groundwater pollution with nitrates. Hence, it is necessary to develop a common body of knowledge, so as to allow an effective monitoring of cropping systems, fertilization and water demands, and impacts of climate change, with a focus on the sustainability and the protection of the physical environment. In this presentation, we describe AgriBigCAT, an online software platform that uses geophysical information from various diverse sources, employing geospatial and big data analysis, together with web technologies, in order to estimate the impact of the agricultural sector on the environment. It considers land, water, biodiversity and natural areas requiring protection, such as forests and wetlands. This platform can assist both the farmers' decision-taking processes and the administration planning and policy-making, with the ultimate objective of meeting the challenge of increasing food production at a lower environmental impact. An online application of AgriBigCAT, focusing on the local environmental issues of the agricultural sector of Catalonia, is presented and described, together with some preliminary analysis findings. This presentation has been prepared for the EFITA 2017 Congress in Montpellier.

Monitoring and identification of disasters are crucial for mitigating their effects on the environment and on human population, and can be facilitated by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), equipped with camera sensors which can produce frequent aerial photos of the areas of interest. A modern, promising technique for recognition of events based on aerial photos is deep learning. In this paper, we present the state of the art work related to the use of deep learning techniques for disaster monitoring and identification. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential of this technique in identifying disasters automatically, with high accuracy, by means of a relatively simple deep learning model. Based on a small dataset of 544 images (containing images of disasters such as fires, earthquakes, collapsed buildings, tsunami and flooding, as well as “non-disaster” scenes), our preliminary results show an accuracy of 91% achieved, indicating that deep learning, combined with UAV equipped with camera sensors, have the potential to predict disasters with high accuracy in the near future. Presented at the EnviroInfo 2017 Conference in Luxembourg.

Environmental awareness and knowledge may help people to take more informed decisions in their everyday lives, ensuring their health and safety. The Web of Things enables embedded sensors to become easily deployed in urban areas for environmental monitoring such as air quality, electromagnetism, radiation, etc. In this presentation, we propose an eco-system for urban computing which combines the concept of the Web of Things, together with big data analysis and event processing, towards the vision of smarter cities that offer real-time information to their habitants about the urban environment. We touch upon near real-time web-based discovery of sensory services, citizen participation, semantic technologies and mobile computing, helping people to take more informed everyday decisions when interacting with their urban landscape. We then present a case study where we demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of this eco-system to the everyday lives of citizens. This research has been supported by the P-SPHERE project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skodowska-Curie grant agreement No 665919.

Because of insufficient accessible arable land, intensive farming has been linked to excessive accumulation of phosphorous, heavy metals, and other soil contaminants, as well as to significant groundwater pollution with nitrate. Deterioration of soil water quality is especially worrying at the bioclimatic Mediterranean area, especially under the current context of climate change. Hence, it is necessary to develop a common body of knowledge, shared at the local and regional levels of the countries involved and affected, so as to allow an effective monitoring of cropping systems, fertilization and water demands, and impacts of climate change, with a focus on the sustainability and the protection of the physical environment. In this presentation, we describe AgriBigCAT, an online software platform that combines geophysical information from various diverse sources, together with big data analysis, in order to estimate the impact of the agricultural sector on the environment, considering land, water, biodiversity and natural areas requiring protection, such as forests and wetlands. Based on the P-Sphere project, this platform intends to promote more sustainable agriculture, by designing and developing an information and knowledge-based platform, using a big data approach for managing and analyzing a wide range of geospatial and mainstream information, which can be accessible by standard communication technologies such as the internet/web and mobile apps. this platform can also assist both the farmers' decision-taking processes and the administration planning and policy making, with the ultimate objective of meeting the challenge of increasing food production at a lower environmental impact.

With the recent advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is now possible to process a large number of sensor data streams using different large-scale IoT platforms. These IoT frameworks are used to collect, process and analyse data streams in real-time and facilitate provision of smart solutions designed to provide decision support. Existing IoT-based solutions are mainly domain-dependent, providing stream processing and analytics focusing on specific areas (smart cities, healthcare etc.). In the context of agri-food industry, a variety of external parameters belonging to different domains (e.g. weather conditions, regulations etc.) have a major influence over the food supply chain, while flexible and adaptive IoT frameworks, essential to truly realize the concept of smart farming, are currently inexistent. In this presentation, we propose Agri-IoT, a semantic framework for IoT-based smart farming applications, which supports reasoning over various heterogeneous sensor data streams in real-time. Agri- IoT can integrate multiple cross-domain data streams, providing a complete semantic processing pipeline, offering a common framework for smart farming applications. Agri-IoT supports large-scale data analytics and event detection, ensuring seamless interoperability among sensors, services, processes, operations, farmers and other relevant actors, including online information sources and linked open datasets and streams available on the Web.

The Web of Things (WoT) aspires to bring interoperability at the application layer, on top of the Internet of Things. Many state of the art platforms and frameworks claim to support the WoT, following its principles towards the seamless integration of heterogeneous physical devices and real-world services at the web. But do these platforms truly comply to the concepts of the WoT or only follow some of its characteristics? Do designers understand the WoT when claiming that their products follow the WoT specifications? This publication lists the main elements of the WoT, as defined by pioneering works in the field and examines 26 popular platforms and frameworks, aiming to shed light on how the WoT is understood and applied, both in academia and commerce.

A Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) brings together the Semantic Web and the Web of Things (WoT), associating semantically annotated information to web-enabled physical devices, services and their data, towards seamless data integration and better understanding of real-world information. A missing element in order to realize SWoT is a standardized, scalable and flexible way to globally discover in (near) real time web-connected embedded devices, as well as their semantic data. To address this gap, we propose WOT Semantic Search Engine (WOTS2E), which is a search engine for the SWoT, based on web crawling, being able to discover Linked Data endpoints and, through them, WoT-enabled devices and their services. In this presentation, we describe the design, development and implementation of WOTS2E, as well as an evaluation procedure showing its operation and performance across the web.
