A real machine learning

Understand the business problem - a good article about the solving real problems with machine learning.

Network proximity on web

This paper is devoted to context-aware computing. As the basic information about the context, we use information about surrounding wireless networks (Wi-Fi access points, Bluetooth nodes). The aim is to consider the use of this kind of information about network proximity directly in the mobile web applications.

IoT standards

6 emerging standards for IoT. No chances to win with so many "standards" ;-)

INJOIT - call for papers

The International Journal of Open Information Technologies (INJOIT) is an all-electronic journal with the aim to bring the most recent and unpublished research and development results in the area of information technologies to the scientific and technical societies. Free, peer reviewed papers. English or Russian languages.

It is published by the OIT Lab (Open Information Technologies Lab, Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Lomonosov Moscow State University).

Signal processing

A couple of the useful and free (!) books:

Introduction to Signal Processing

Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing

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.

Open Source Mobile Sensing

Our new paper: Namiot, Dmitry, and Manfred Sneps-Sneppe. "On Open Source Mobile Sensing." Internet of Things, Smart Spaces, and Next Generation Networks and Systems. Springer International Publishing, 2014. 82-94.

The paper discusses phone as a sensor model. For many applied tasks smart phones are an ideal platform for collecting and processing context-related data. The most popular example is, probably, computational social science. Phones can collect data for conducting various social researches about people’s social behavior. This paper presents an attempt to describe and categorize existing open source libraries for mobile sensing, describe architecture and design patterns as well as discover directions for the future development.

Geo Messages in iOS

Our idea about Geo Messages (geo-signatures for messages) is getting alive with iOS8:

BDP landing page

An interesting idea - Appsites service creates landing pages for mobile applications based on the data in Google Play (App Store).

For example, we can take our BDP application, points service to its page in Google Play and automatically get this landing page for our application: Bluetooth Data Points

Self-destruct sharing

How to share self-destructing data:

Digify - mobile application
Secure notes - web service and REST API

IoT dictionary

A great idea - Internet of Things dictionary.

Directory of mashups

Our mashups directory has been updated. A huge collection of applications: Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, LBS, QR-codes, mobile HTML5 etc.

The latest release includes for example our new mobile tool: Bluetooth Data Points.

Online courses

Search for online courses. 120+ sites.

API or DPI?

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.

The statistics of mobile visitors

Our new paper: D. Namiot, M. Sneps-Sneppe "On the analysis of statistics of mobile visitors", Automatic Control and Computer Sciences, May 2014, Volume 48, Issue 3, pp. 150-158

It describes our Spotique model.

Check-in advertising

Check-in based advertising is growing dramatically as the popularity of social media increases. This study explores which social cues are appropriate for check-in based advertising in social media based on media richness theory and how content effectiveness affects content generation intention based on achievement motivation theory. - from this paper.

There are several our papers, devoted to check-in advertising:

Namiot, D., & Sneps-Sneppe, M. (2011). Customized check-in procedures. In Smart Spaces and Next Generation Wired/Wireless Networking (pp. 160-164). Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

Namiot, D., & Sneps-Sneppe, M. (2011, October). A new approach to advertising in social networks-business-centric check-ins. In Intelligence in Next Generation Networks (ICIN), 2011 15th International Conference on (pp. 92-96). IEEE.

City Chat

Our mobile mashup City chat has been updated. HTML5 mobile web application lets you talk with other visitors for the same place (café, office etc.). Lets you add on-demand chat service for any particular place. No registration required. Check it out from your iPhone, Android, etc.

http://citychat.linkstore.ru

(it is a mobile site).

You can copy link right to your mobile browser with the QR-code above. Or use the following short URL: http://bit.ly/a7aOKv

You can include chat into your own mobile site. The basic URL accepts the following optional parameters:

lat - a latitude of place
lng - a longitude of place

For example: City chat, Palo Alto.

Techically, it is a mobile web mashup which uses Foursquare and chat engine from Coldbeans.

As a similar "city-related" application see also City forums, geo-chat and Never eat alone application.
