Mobile indoor navigation systems guide users through buildings and premises by taking into account the current position of the user and a destination such as a room, office or shop. In many environments a spontaneous and also anonymous navigation is desirable e.g. at airports, hospitals or university campuses. However, many systems that have been proposed so far require the integration of a radio-based positioning system and access to other organization-specific systems, which results in a lot of things a user has to deal with before the navigation system can be used and which raises a lot of issues with respect to the location privacy of the user. In this paper we propose a mobile indoor navigation system that allows spontaneous navigation and that guarantees location privacy for the user. A pre-compiled compact representation for all the routes and navigation instructions in a building is the basis for an application that uses the built-in camera on the mobile device to derive the current position in the building from barcodes which are distributed all over the building. We show that the approach allows to navigate through a building with thousands of rooms and requires only little data on the device. Routes can be computed efficiently in O(1) on the device and the only infrastructure that is required are the barcodes which can be easily printed and installed at walls or already existing signs in the building.
Capital expenditure (CAPEX), i.e. equipment cost, is a decisive criterion for the design of a new network infrastructure. The design of efficient transport networks requires the interconnection of multiple technologie...

Today, a typical telemedicine system involves a small set of hospitals providing remote healthcare services to a small section of the society using nodal centers, mobile health units, etc. However, the benefits of a telemedicine system increase with scale. One of the key requirements of such a large scale system is to allow large numbers of patient medical records, in the form of electronic files, to be efficiently stored and accessed from widely distributed locations. In this paper, we address the need for a distributed file system to manage patient data in large scale telemedicine systems. We use the resources of unreliable Internet edge nodes distributed among hospitals, labs, etc., to provide reliable file system services to patients and doctors. Besides building an Internet-based system that scales with the number of nodes and files, we also attempt to optimize record access times for doctors to provide timely responses.

Routing is in fact a simple task, yet the implementation of routing protocols requires specific operating system related knowledge. The developer has to deal with particular kernel internals that might have severe side effects. Furthermore, novel routing protocols require features that are not provided by current operating systems. Thus, routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks and wireless mesh networks are often studied in simulation environments. However, simulations have limitations that can result in conclusions that do not hold in real networks. A framework for the implementation of routing protocols in operating systems is required to enable real world oriented research. We introduce the DES Simple and Extensible Routing-Framework for Testbeds (DES-SERT). It supports the implementation, experimentation, and evaluation of routing protocols in a testbed environment. A structured protocol implementation is advocated by transmitting data in extensions attached to packets and by its pipeline based architecture. Several steps are elaborated how to derive an implementation from a routing protocol specification. A gossip implementation is presented as a simple example.

Routing is a general task, yet the implementation of routing protocols requires specific operating system related knowledge. The developer has to deal with particular kernel internals that might have severe side effects. This is especially true for reactive and hybrid protocols where routing and forwarding are heavily intermixed. Furthermore, novel routing protocols require features that are not provided by current operating systems or have to be customized. Thus routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks and wireless mesh networks are often studied in simulation environments. However, simulations have limitations that can result in conclusions that do not hold in real networks. A framework for the implementation of routing protocols in operating systems is required to enable real world oriented research. We introduce the DES Simple and Extensible Routing-Framework for Testbeds (DES-SERT). The framework supports the implementation and evaluation of routing protocols in a testbed environment.
