On hyper-local web

Namiot, D., and M. Sneps-Sneppe. "On Hyper-local Web Pages." Distributed Computer and Communication Networks. Springer International Publishing, 2015. 11-18.

In this paper, we discuss one approach for development and deployment of web sites (web pages) devoted to the description of objects (events) with a precisely delineated geographic scope. This article describes the usage of context-aware programming models for web development. In our paper, we propose mechanisms to create mobile web applications which content links to some predefined geographic area. The accuracy of such a binding allows us to distinguish individual areas within the same indoor space. Target areas for such development are applications for Smart Cities and retail

Browsing in the Physical Web

Dmitry Namiot, Manfred Sneps-Sneppe "On Physical Web Browser"

In this paper, we present the Physical Web Browser project for web applications depending on the environment. At this moment, many of users all over the world visit websites using their mobile devices only. Any mobile device (e.g., smartphone) has sensors to capture the environmental information. This information (context) could be analyzed and used within the web applications. There are, at least, two models for using this information. Firstly, we can use context information for data gathering requests in a web application. In this case, the output depends on the context. It is the classical model for context-aware data retrieval. In the second model, we can use context-aware data for improving user experience (for changing and tuning user interfaces). In other words, we present a way for the adaptation of web applications depending on the environment.

Lock-free programming patterns

Namiot Dmitry. On lock-free programming patterns. WSEAS Transactions on Computers, 15:117–124, 2016.

Lock-free programming is a well-known technique for multithreaded programming. Lock-free programming is a way to share changing data among several threads without paying the cost of acquiring and releasing locks. On practice, parallel programming models must include scalable concurrent algorithms and patterns. Lock-free programming patterns play an important role in scalability. This paper is devoted to lockfree data structures and algorithms. Our task was to choose the data structures for the concurrent garbage collector. We aim to provide a survey of lock-free patterns and approaches, estimate the potential performance gain for lock-free solutions. By our opinion, the most challenging problem for concurrent programming is the coordination and data flow organizing, rather than relatively low-level data structures. So, as the most promising from the practical point of view lock-free programming pattern, we choose the framework based on the Software Transactional Memory.

The Physical Web

Our new paper in arxiv: Manfred Sneps-Sneppe, Dmitry Namiot "On Physical Web models"

The Physical Web is a generic term describes interconnection of physical objects and web. The Physical Web lets present physical objects in a web. There are different ways to do that and we will discuss them in our paper. Usually, the web presentation for a physical object could be implemented with the help of mobile devices. The basic idea behind the Physical Web is to navigate and control physical objects in the world surrounding mobile devices with the help of web technologies. Of course, there are different ways to identify and enumerate physical objects. In this paper, we describe the existing models as well as related challenges. In our analysis, we will target objects enumeration and navigation as well as data retrieving and programming for the Physical Web.

DSL for IoT

Sneps-Sneppe M., Namiot D. On web-based domain-specific language for internet of things // Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems and Workshops (ICUMT). — United States: United States, 2015. — P. 287–292.

This paper discusses the challenges of the Internet of Things programming. Sensing and data gathering from the various sources are often the key elements of applications for Smart Cities. So, the effective programming models for them are very important. In this article, we discuss system software models and solutions, rather than network related aspects. In our paper, we present the web-based domain-specific language for Internet of Things applications. Our goal is to present the modern models for data processing in Internet of Things and Smart Cities applications. In our view, the use of this kind of tools should seriously reduce the time to develop new applications.

Chat bots in Twitter

Namiot D. Twitter as a transport layer platform // Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language and Information Extraction, Social Media and Web Search FRUCT Conference (AINL-ISMW FRUCT), 2015. — Piscataway, NJ, United States: Piscataway, NJ, United States, 2015. — P. 46–51.

Internet messengers and social networks have become an integral part of modern digital life. We have in mind not only the interaction between individual users but also a variety of applications that exist in these applications. Typically, applications for social networks use the universal login system and rely on data from social networks. Also, such applications are likely to get more traction when they are inside of the big social network like Facebook. At the same time, less attention is paid to communication capabilities of social networks. In this paper, we target Twitter as a messaging system at the first hand. We describe the way information systems can use Twitter as a transport layer for own services. Our work introduces a programmable service called 411 for Twitter, which supports user-defined and application-specific commands through tweets

Chat bots in Facebook

Facebook provides API for chat bots in Messenger. I am still wondering, why Twitter does not follow to this obvious trend? We did this for Twitter several years ago

The physical web in smart cities

Namiot D., Sneps-Sneppe M. The physical web in smart cities // Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications (RTUWO), 2015. — Piscataway, NJ, United States: Piscataway, NJ, United States, 2015. — P. 46–49.

In this paper, we discuss the physical web projects based on network proximity for Smart Cities. In general, the Physical Web is an approach for connecting any physical object to the web. With this approach, we can navigate and control physical objects in the world surrounding mobile devices. Alternatively, we can execute services on mobile devices, depending on the surrounding physical objects. Technically, there are different ways to enumerate physical objects. In this paper, we will target the models based on the wireless proximity.
