As shown in Figure 5, the context matching is composed of device model, task model, user model, run-time model, and rule bases.
Fig. 5 Mean number of served clients versus the delay constraint T for a network composed of M=60 devices, N=30 packets, a BS-device erasure probability Q=0.3, and a device-device erasure probability P=0.15.
A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a system composed of computational devices and physical environments, where the computational devices can interact via communication networks, can control physical environments via actuators, and can receive feedback from physical environments via sensors.
Future enabling systems will build on the foundation composed of such devices.
HumaNets are fully decentralized opportunistic store-and-forward, delay-tolerant networks composed of smartphone devices.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of networks composed of tiny devices equipped with sensing, processing, storage, and wireless communication capabilities.
Sileye-3/Alteino is composed of two devices: the cosmic ray-advanced silicon telescope (an 8 plane, 32 strip silicon detector) and an electroencephalograph.
In the presented network architecture, the low level system consists of an IEEE 802.15.4 based Wireless Sensor Network fully composed of compatible devices that support all the standard functionalities.
Since ultra wide band (UWB) technology is particularly suited for localization purposes (owing to its remarkable time resolution), we consider a network composed of UWB devices.
