The prevalence of smart wearable devices is increasing exponentially and we are witnessing a wide variety of fascinating new services that leverage the capabilities of these wearables. Wearables are truly changing the way mobile computing is deployed and mobile applications are being developed. It is possible to leverage the capabilities such as connectivity, processing, and sensing of wearable devices in an adaptive manner for efficient resource usage and information accuracy within the personal area network. We show that application developers are not yet taking advantage of these cross-device capabilities, however, instead using wearables as passive sensors or simple end displays to provide notifications to the user. We thus design AFV (Application Function Virtualization), an architecture enabling automated dynamic function virtualization and scheduling across devices in a personal area network, simplifying the development of the apps that are adaptive to context changes. AFV provides a simple set of APIs hiding complex architectural tasks from app developers whilst continuously monitoring the user, device and network context, to enable the adaptive invocation of functions across devices. We show the feasibility of our design by implementing AFV on Android, and the benefits for the user in terms of resource efficiency, especially in saving energy consumption, and quality of experience with multiple use cases.

The number of smart devices wear and carry by users is growing rapidly which is driven by innovative new smart wearables and interesting service o erings. This has led to applications that utilize multiple devices around the body to provide immersive
environments such as mixed reality. These applications rely on a number of di erent types of functions such as sensing, communication and various types of processing, that require considerable resources. Thus one of the major challenges in supporting of these applications is dependent on the battery lifetime of the devices that provide the necessary functionality. The battery lifetime can be extended by either incorporating a battery with larger capacity and/or by utilizing the available resources e ciently. However, the increases in battery capacity are not keeping up with the demand and larger batteries add to both the weight and size of the device. Thus, the focus of this paper is to improve the battery e ciency through intelligent resources utilization. We show that, when the same resource is available on multiple devices that form part of the wearable system, and or is in close proximity, it is possible consider them as a resource pool and further utilize them intelligently to improve the system lifetime. Speci cally, we formulate the function allocation algorithm as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization problem and propose an e cient heuristic solution. The experimental data driven simulation results show that approximately 40-50% system battery life improvement can be achieved with proper function allocation and orchestration.
We propose using Carrier Sensing (CS) for distributed interference management in millimeter-wave (mmWave) cellular networks where spectrum is shared by multiple operators that do not coordinate among themselves. In addition, even the base station sit
es can be shared by the operators. We describe important challenges in using traditional CS in this setting and propose enhanced CS protocols to address these challenges. Using stochastic geometry, we develop a general framework for downlink coverage probability analysis of our shared mmWave network in the presence of CS and derive the downlink coverage probability expressions for several CS protocols. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to investigate and analyze (using stochastic geometry) CS for mmWave networks with spectrum and BS sites shared among non-coordinating operators. We evaluate the downlink coverage probability of our shared mmWave network using simulations as well as numerical examples based on our analysis. Our evaluations show that our proposed enhancements lead to an improvement in downlink coverage probability, compared to the downlink coverage probability with no CS, for higher values of signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR). Interestingly, our evaluations also reveal that for lower values of SINR, not using any CS is the best strategy in terms of the downlink coverage probability.
The Telex system is designed for sharing mutable data in a distributed environment, particularly for collaborative applications. Users operate on their local, persistent replica of shared documents; they can work disconnected and suffer no network la
tency. The Telex approach to detect and correct conflicts is application independent, based on an action-constraint graph (ACG) that summarises the concurrency semantics of applications. The ACG is stored efficiently in a multilog structure that eliminates contention and is optimised for locality. Telex supports multiple applications and multi-document updates. The Telex system clearly separates system logic (which includes replication, views, undo, security, consistency, conflicts, and commitment) from application logic. An example application is a shared calendar for managing multi-user meetings; the system detects meeting conflicts and resolves them consistently.
In this work, our aim is to identify whether the choice of virtualization strategy influences the performance of simulations in robotics. Performance is quantified in the error between a reference trajectory and the actual trajectory for the ball mov
ing along the surface of a smooth plate. The two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to assess significance of variations in performance under the different experimental settings. Our results show that the selection of virtualization technology does have a significant effect on simulation, and moreover this effect can be amplified by the use of some operating systems. While these results are a strong cause for caution, they also provide reason for optimism for those considering repeatable robotics research using virtualization.
Internet-native audio-visual services are witnessing rapid development. Among these services, object-based audio-visual services are gaining importance. In 2014, we established the Software Defined Media (SDM) consortium to target new research areas
and markets involving object-based digital media and Internet-by-design audio-visual environments. In this paper, we introduce the SDM architecture that virtualizes networked audio-visual services along with the development of smart buildings and smart cities using Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart building facilities. Moreover, we design the SDM architecture as a layered architecture to promote the development of innovative applications on the basis of rapid advancements in software-defined networking (SDN). Then, we implement a prototype system based on the architecture, present the system at an exhibition, and provide it as an SDM API to application developers at hackathons. Various types of applications are developed using the API at these events. An evaluation of SDM API access shows that the prototype SDM platform effectively provides 3D audio reproducibility and interactiveness for SDM applications.
