Enabling Unified FL-driven Application Deployment Across Heterogeneous Research Testbeds

Modern AI applications increasingly run on geographically distributed and heterogeneous infrastructures that combine high-performance computing (HPC) systems, cloud platforms, and resource-constrained edge devices. Research testbeds provide such …

Towards Fast Detection of Suspicious Bluetooth Trackers using Anomaly Detection

Detecting malicious Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) trackers remains challenging because existing approaches rely on fixed time and distance thresholds that are brittle across environments. These heuristics produce false positives in dense environments …

PSMark: A Distributed IoT Benchmark for Publish/Subscribe Under Domain-Based Workloads

The Publish/Subscribe (pub/sub) paradigm is widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT). Standalone sensors, wearables, and other devices act as producers that publish messages to consumers such as edge servers or even other IoT devices. Selecting …

A Context-Aware Benchmarking Approach for Scenario-Based Evaluation of Smart Devices

Understanding how smart devices behave under real-world conditions remains challenging, as existing benchmarking tools often isolate metrics like energy consumption or protocol compliance without considering realistic interactions or coordinated use. …

DEMO: Web-CozyBench - A Web-Based Platform to Benchmark Thermal Comfort Provision using Digital Twins

Web-CozyBench is a web-based benchmarking platform built on Co-zyBench to evaluate occupant-centric HVAC control systems using Digital Twin simulations. It provides a GUI for defining building and occupant scenarios, selecting control strategies, …

DigiGuide: A DT-based Occupant Guiding System for Optimizing Comfort and Energy Consumption

This paper presents DigiGuide, an innovative system that leverages Digital Twin (DT) methodologies combined with multi-objective optimization algorithms to guide occupants to spaces that best meet their multi-variant comfort needs. DigiGuide …

Modeling Inhabited Smart Spaces to Support Interoperable IoT-Based Applications

IoT deployments in smart spaces can enable the development of useful services for their inhabitants. However, the diversity of smart spaces and their sensor infrastructures makes it challenging to develop space-agnostic applications. Moreover, …

Your Smart Home Exchanged 3M Messages: Defining and Analyzing Smart Device Passive Mode

The constant connectedness of smart home devices and their sensing capabilities pose a unique threat to individuals' privacy. While users may expect devices to exhibit minimal activity while they are not performing their intended functions, this is …

Co-designing Sensorization Plans in the Nursing Home Setting

Perspectives on sensorization in the nursing home among administrators, staff, residents and their family members
