Dynamic Management of Wireless Sensor Networks using Virtual Objects and a Rule Engine
2025 - 28th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN 2025)
In this demonstration paper, we present the implementation of a virtualized Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) following a specific software stack called Virtual Object Stack (VOStack). This stack, proposed by the Horizon Europe (HE) NEPHELE project, promotes openness and interoperability in the Cloud-…
A fuzzy based approach for managing smart edge enhanced IoT devices in mission critical applications
2025 - 28th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN 2025)
In the last decade, edge computing emerged as a paradigm allowing close-to-the-source processing. It brings multiple benefits for mission-critical applications especially that they cannot tolerate delays, downtime or failure. Particularly, in post-disaster management, where the network is scarce…
Demo: Virtualized Wireless Sensor Networks for Distributed Applications over the Cloud Continuum
2024 - CIoT24 - 7th Conference on Cloud and Internet of Things
In this demo, the authors present the implementation of a virtualized Wireless Sensor Network following a specific software stack called Virtual Object Stack (VOStack). This stack, proposed by the European Horizon NEPHELE programme, promotes openness and interoperability in the cloud-to-edge-to-IoT…
Virtual Objects for Robots and Sensor Nodes in Distributed Applications over the Cloud Continuum
2024 - DistInSys - 4th IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems
The cloud-to-edge-to-IoT continuum represents a seamless fow of data processing and management, spanning from centralized cloud services to distributed edge computing and interconnected IoT devices. This paradigm can become very challenging in real implementations, especially in the presence of…
The Cloud-to-Edge-to-IoT Continuum as an Enabler for Search and Rescue Operations
2023 Future Internet, 15(2), 55 (Special Issue “Moving towards 6G Wireless Technologies”)
When a natural or human disaster occurs, time is critical and often of vital importance. Data from the incident area containing the information to guide search and rescue (SAR) operations and improve intervention effectiveness should be collected as quickly as possible and with the highest accuracy…
