Wireless Sensor networks (WSN) now advance into areas where new scenarios and applications require WSNs to meet certain Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. To tackle these challenges, a routing approach has to consider limited energy supply of sensor nodes, dynamic network conditions as well as node mobility. This paper presents QoS-AODV6E, a routing scheme based on the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, which encompasses QoS and Energy-Awareness for mobile WSNs. Based on the reactive AODV routing protocol, QoS-AODV6E allows applications to specify QoS parameters and finds suitable routes that support their requirements. In order to prolong the lifetime of the network, QoS-AODV6E balances the energy consumption between different paths through the network based on the weakest node. We evaluate our implementation of QoS-AODV6E in Contiki using simulation and measurements.

GAL, the Lower Saxony Research Network Design of Environments for Ageing, investigates how information and communication technology can provide for better environments for ageing. This paper describes a service oriented middleware platform for Ambient Assisted Living and its use in a number of different assistive systems developed in the GAL project: personal activity and household assistant, monitoring of preventive and rehabilitation sports, sensor-based activity determination, and sensor-based fall prevention and recognition. Besides a detailed description of the middleware platform and its elements and interfaces, central infrastructure services and their particularly applications in the different use cases are presented.

We propose a decentralized traffic information system-AutoNomos-that is based on a thorough investigation of the properties of traffic and recommends a hierarchical data aggregation and forwarding for providing individualized information and support to road users. Our approach differs from work in the field by consequently applying local rules and local decentralized data processing, which turns out to be a key property of robust and scalable computing systems. We present a flexible VANET middleware that assists the application development by providing generic functionality for traffic applications. We discuss the architectural design of the overall system and provide solutions of important design concepts demonstrating the innovation of the approach.

In our demonstration we present an implementation of DTN for embedded systems and demonstrate how a WLAN access point can be turned into a stand-alone DTN-node for mobile applications. The modular software design of "IBRDTN" is centered on the efficient use of resources and interoperability with the DTN2 reference implementation. Our modules comprise a DTN Core, Bundle Router, Persistent Storage and a Convergence Layer Manager. IBR-DTN is work in progress, but the comparison of the features and performance to DTN2 is already very promising. Finally, we present a practical evaluation in a mobile scenario in which a vehicle mounted node passes a stationary node.
We present an open source tool called MPEG analyzer that is able to visualize various MPEG-2 encoding characteristics while playing a video stream. Our tool has been developed during a student lab and is intended to s...

This paper shows that the genetic algorithm can be used to solve the delay-constrained least-cost least-inter-destination-delay-variation multicast problem efficiently. The proposed genetic algorithm performs well when the number of destination nodes is small relative to the size of the network.

The need for mobility awareness in ad hoc routing protocols is widely proclaimed. In this paper we present AODV-AP, a scheme to make AODV nodes aware of the accessibility of the neighbor nodes in the network. Nodes acquire the accessibility information of the other nodes through routine routing operations and keep it in their routing tables. later, this information can be utilized to enhance routing operations. One possible use of this accessibility information, restrict the route discoveries for inaccessible nodes, is also evaluated in this paper. Simulation results show that the use of accessibility knowledge in the route discovery process largely reduces the MAC and Routing overhead. Similarly, the Normalized Throughput with respect to MAC overhead is up to 3 times higher than that in standard AODV which reflects the effective use of network resources.
