Due to the limitations in the performance of the transmission control protocol (TCP) over wireless networks, multiple variants and alternatives have been proposed and evaluated. In most cases, these protocols are designed for specific type of networks ...

We have built haptic interfaces featuring smartphones and tablets that use magnetometerderived orientation sensing to modulate virtual displays, especially spatial sound, allowing, for instance, each side of a karaoke recording to be separately steered ...

Recognizing and understanding of environmental sounds shall give higher semantics of the surrounding context and situation. This paper presents a proposal of an innovative environmental sound recognition method as a combination of robust ICA basis in a ...

We propose an execution model for web apps that eschews the current need for static partitioning of web apps into client-side JavaScript and server-side "data center" code, but rather enables dynamic partitioning by allowing the client and server to ...

We present a cloud-based approach to opportunistic, near real-time search of untagged images on smartphones that is sensitive to bandwidth and energy constraints. Our approach is inspired by the long-established practice of photographers using contact ...

In this article, we introduce VIRMANEL a tool we developed to establish an environment for the study of multihop mobile networks. VIRMANEL is a tool that manages virtual machines corresponding to mobile nodes, emulates their movements and the resulting ...

Our new area-based distributed mobile storage system enables cache data temporarily in a designated local area. It requires no infrastructure network or server. For that reason, it is sure to hasten the development of new location-based communication ...

In this paper, we propose a system of sound-enhanced landscape album for smart-phone. This system is able to provide landscape image and environmental sound for user designated place. This system is consists of a server and a mobile client terminal. ...

There is a recent trend to use privately owned mobile devices in corporate environments. This poses serious threats on the security of corporate data. In this demo we show how we applied an efficient sandboxing mechanism to the Android software stack. ...

Traffic Information Systems (TISs) can play a significant role towards creating sustainable cities through improved traffic conditions. The collection of reliable and rich information with low cost is paramount. The use of smartphones carried by ...

This issue of MC2R features abstracts of the best posters and demos that were presented at the 18th ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2012) in Istanbul, Turkey. The selected abstracts have undergone a two-step ...

Inter-protocol interference is one of the most critical issues in wireless communication. For example, this becomes extremely problematic in environments where robustness and realtime communication need to be considered, e.g., in industrial automation ...

Traditional enterprise WLAN management systems are hard to extend and require powerful access points (APs). In this paper we introduce and evaluate CloudMAC, an architecture for enterprise WLANs in which MAC frames are generated and processed on virtual ...

Automated platooning is one of the most challenging fields in the domain of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Conceptually, platooning means creating clusters of vehicles which closely follow each other autonomously without action of the driver, ...

People-centric sensing is a novel approach that exploits the sensing capabilities offered by smartphones and the mobility of users to sense large scale areas without requiring the deployment of sensors in-situ. Given the ubiquitous nature of smartphones,...

This issue of MC2R features abstracts of the best posters and demos that were presented at the 18th ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2012) in Istanbul, Turkey. The selected abstracts have undergone a two-step ...

Vehicular networking has significant potential to enable diverse range of applications, including safety and convenience. As the number of vehicles and applications using the specially designated wireless spectrum grow, one can expect substantial ...

Typical scenarios in the city or on campus, show a high proliferation of wireless communication devices such as smartphones, laptops or netbooks. Wireless 802.11 networks between these devices allow for a spontaneous exchange of content or provision of ...
