MARF is an open-source research platform and a collection of voice/sound/speech/text and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms written in Java and arranged into a modular and extensible framework facilitating addition of new…

The wide variety of wireless devices brings to design mobile applications as a collection of interchangeable software components adapted to the deployment environment of the software. To ensure the proper functioning of the software…

Practical implementations of high-level languages must provide access to libraries and system services that have APIs specified in a low-level language (usually C). An important characteristic of such mechanisms is the foreign-interface…

The vision of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) embodies the seam- less discovery, configuration, and interoperability of networked devices in various settings, ranging from home automation and multimedia to autonomous vehicles and manufacturing…

Performing deep learning on end-user devices provides fast offline inference results and can help protect the user's privacy. However, running models on untrusted client devices reveals model information which may be proprietary, i.e., the…

Embedded software management requirements due to concerns about security vulnerabilities or for feature updates in the Internet of Things (IoT) deployments have raised the need for Firmware Update Over The Air (FUOTA). With FUOTA's support,…

The security of microcontrollers, which drive modern IoT and embedded devices, continues to raise major concerns. Within a microcontroller (MCU), the firmware is a monolithic piece of software that contains the whole software stack, whereas…

This article discusses the development of an IoT system for monitoring and controlling various devices and systems from different vendors. The authors considered key challenges in IoT projects, such as interoperability and integration,…

Testing network algorithms in physical environments using real hardware is an important step to reduce the gap between theory and practice in the field, and an interesting way to explore technologies such as Bluetooth Mesh. We implemented a…

IoT devices are increasingly being implicated in cyber-attacks, driving community concern about the risks they pose to critical infrastructure, corporations, and citizens. In order to reduce this risk, the IETF is pushing IoT vendors to…

We implement an IoT network the following way: one gateway, one or several intelligent (i.e., learning) objects, embedding the proposed solution, and a traffic generator that emulates radio interferences from many other objects. Intelligent…

Consumer applications are becoming increasingly smarter and most of them have to run on device ecosystems. Potential benefits are for example enabling cross-device interaction and seamless user experiences. Essential for today's smart…

At present moment, there is a great interest in development of information systems operating in cloud infrastructures. Generally, many of tasks remain unresolved such as tasks of optimization of large databases in a hybrid cloud…

Micro-scale implantable medical devices (IMDs) extend the immense benefits of sensors used in health management. However, their development is limited by many requirements and challenges, such as the use of safe materials, size…

We consider the problem of performing Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) on small devices typical of IoT applications. Our contributions are twofold. First, we outline the design of an embedded, private-by-design SLU system and show that…

We study the problem of deriving a specification for a third-party component, based on the specification of the system and the environment in which the component is supposed to reside. Particularly, we are interested in using component…

Block oriented model structure detection is quite desirable since it helps to imagine the system with real physical elements. In this work we explore experimental methods to detect the internal structure of the system, using a black box…

This paper focuses on contention-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols used in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). We propose a novel MAC protocol called Adaptive Backoff Tuning MAC (ABTMAC) based on IEEE 802.11 DCF. In our proposed…

We present an indoor acoustic simulation framework that supports both ultrasonic and audible signaling. The framework opens the opportunity for fast indoor acoustic data generation and positioning development. The improved…

Social networks have an important role in an individual's health, with the propagation of health-related features through a network, and correlations between network structures and symptomatology. Using Bluetooth-enabled smartphones to…
