Geo Signature and its applications

Our paper in the latest issue of IJISIS

D.Namiot, "Geo Signature and its applications", International Journal of Information Science and Intelligent System (IJISIS), vol. 4, no.1, pp. 105-118.

This paper summarizes definitions and uses cases for the sharing location information via geo messages. Geo messages let users of location based systems share location information as signatures to the standard messages (e.g., email, SMS). Rather than let some service perform the constant monitoring for the user’s location (Google Latitude) or share location info within any social circle (Facebook’s check-in, etc.) Geo Messages approach lets users share location data on the peer to peer basis. Users can share own location info via any of existing messaging systems. The basic tenet of this process is the separation of the identification and location information. With this approach shared location information (geo-coded link, map, etc.) does not contain the users’ identity. It uses identity information from the messaging system. It means that the whole process of location info exchange does not reveal user’s privacy. For a multilateral exchange of geo-positional information, this approach proposes a scheme with replaceable user authentication where only the creator of temporary name knows the identity mapping between temporary names and true identities.

Meta Data in REST services

An interesting reading - How to store and use metadata in REST services

The common goal of current metadata formats for REST APIs is to specify:

Entry point(s)
Resource paths
Methods to access these resources (GET, POST, PUT, etc.…)
Parameters that need to be supplied with these methods (Query, Template, HTTP Header, etc.)
Formats of inbound / outbound messages/representations (JSON Schema, XML Schema, Relax NG, etc.)
Status codes and error/fault messages
Documentary information (descriptions, etc.) for all these

WSDL is a good example from SOAP world. What do we have with REST?

On Microservices Architecture

Our new paper in INJOIT:

In this paper, we would like to discuss software standards in the connection with the development of emerging telecom applications. Emerging (military) telecom applications present one of the biggest challenges for the developers (design and development) and telecom providers (deployment and maintenance). It is especially true in the context of transition from TDM to IP networks. This transition may bring own challenges associated with the priorities in data transmission, security, etc. We describe two biggest telecom related examples (GIG and FI-WARE), discuss the challenges and propose directions for software standards development and deployment.

M2M Software Platforms

Our new paper: Namiot, D., & Sneps-Sneppe, M. (2014). On M2M Software Platforms. International Journal of Open Information Technologies, 2(8), 29-33.

This paper provides an overview for existing and upcoming system software platforms for M2M applications. In this article we discuss system software models from the developer’s point of view, rather than network related aspects. The primary goal is to find the common and reusable aspects across existing models as well as discuss their possible coexistence. Can we extract the common elements for the different M2M software models? Are there some reusable patterns? What should developers and system architects pay attention to? These are the main issues addressed in this article.

Our new paper: D. Namiot and M. Sneps-Sneppe "On software standards for smart cities: API or DPI"

This paper discusses the global unified standards for software products and existing approaches (de-facto standards). Using specific examples of interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy tags we compared existing approaches to the development and the proposed global standards (FI-WARE). Can a unified approach to the creation of services to cover all the possible use cases and scenarios for new services? The paper emphasizes the need to address the prevailing trends in the design to create a standard. Also, we highlight the critical importance of such a thing as the time to market for new applications and services developed according to the proposed standards.

In-proximity chat & forum

Our mobile web application WiFi chat has been updated again. What kind of object (real or virtual) can we use to unite mobile users? We are not talking here about members of social networks. We are looking a way for creating group chat. Here, for example, is a short list of several our applications:

City forum - discussions (forums) linked to places (POI - point of interest)
Geo forum - the similar to above (also mobile forums) but linked to location
Mobile forum - lets you add discussions to any physical object.
City chat - web chat linked to any POI (point of interest)
Geo chat - web chat linked to some location

And here is our new idea - Wi-Fi Chat. Forum and chat linked to some Wi-Fi network. Communication tools based on ideas of network proximity. It is a mobile application that lets you see available (visible) Wi-Fi networks and link (attach) discussions and chats with them. We are not talking about connecting to Wi-Fi networks. We are using any Wi-Fi network just as a sensor. If you can see it from your mobile, you are somewhere near. We can call it Wi-Fi proximity. That is an idea. All people seeing the same network are in the proximity. So, they could have some common points for the discussions.

Just one interesting remark – Wi-Fi access point could be opened right on the mobile phone. And with WiFi chat application this phone will play a role of presence sensor uniting (combining together) local people for the communications.

Technically this application uses cloud forums from Disqus and web chat from Coldbeans.

You can load .apk right from Android Market:

Also you can download .apk file right from our server: http://servletsuite.com/WiFiChat.apk. Here is an appropriate QR-code:

Cisco IoT Challenge

Bluetooth Data Points (BDP) let share and discover data in a local proximity. The main idea behind this approach is doing that without the preliminary scene preparation. BDP model does not require wireless tags, fingerprints (radio maps), etc. An ordinary smart phone is enough for creating own data channel and start sharing (distribute) own data.

BDP approach lets mobile users (enterprises) associate own data snippets with Bluetooth nodes. So, other mobile users in proximity (Bluetooth radio distance) will be able to discover and read them. You can think about the web browsing, where web pages provide some hyper-local data. Read more.

BDP - Bluetooth Data Points

More information about Bluetooth Data Points

Bluetooth Data Points (BDP) is a new approach for creating mobile services with wireless tags. It is a yet another use case for the network proximity. Mobile application (Android) lets any user post some announce (advertising, classified, etc.) and associate it with Bluetooth node on the phone. The same application on another phone can scan nearby Bluetooth nodes and collect local announces. Dislike iBeacon and similar applications:

a) this approach is based on the Core Bluetooth rather than on Bluetooth Low Energy. So it will work with any phone;

b) this application works like a browser. So, mobile user decides when to run and what to read rather than constantly get unwanted notifications.

The following picture illustrates BDP (Bluetooth Data Points) approach:

BDP uses Core Bluetooth. So, it could be used with almost any smartphone. Let us see how it works:

1. Mobile user can browse local announces:

2. Another user publish own announce:

It is simply a text. User can publish links (URLs), email, phone or links to Twitter: @t411

3. Application switch on Bluetooth for published announces:

Of course, the publisher can switch Bluetooth off and make own announces unavailable. And later, switch it on again, etc. So, publisher's announces will follow his phone. When published materials are on, other mobile users nearby will the them:

Mobile application for Android, which implements this approach could be downloaded right from Google Play: BDP on Google Play. Here is an appropriate QR-code:

QR code for BDP

You can download it right from our site too: BDP on servlewtsuite. And here is an appropriate QR-code:

QR code for BDP

As the possible use cases for this approach we can mention applications for retail, indoor navigation, as well as context-dependent services for Smart Cities.

This paper describes a new model for delivering hyper-local data for mobile subscribers. Our model uses Wi-Fi proximity as a service. According to this concept, any existing or even a specially created Wi-Fi hot spot could be used as presence sensor that can trigger access for some user-generated information snippets. In this article we present several examples for deployment: context-aware browser, integration for proximity and social streams and human dynamics models based on proximity data. As the possible use-cases, we can mention, for example, news and deals delivery in malls, news feeds for office centers and campuses, social curation, Smart City projects, personal classifieds, etc.
