Enhancing the Internet of Things with Knowledge-Driven Software-Defined Networking Technology: Future Perspectives.

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects smart devices to enable various intelligent services. The deployment of IoT encounters several challenges, such as difficulties in controlling and managing IoT applications and networks, problems in programming existing IoT devices, long service provisioning time, underused resources, as well as complexity, isolation and scalability, among others. One fundamental concern is that current IoT networks lack flexibility and intelligence.

Dynamic Vertical Mapping with Crowdsourced Smartphone Sensor Data.

In this paper, we present our novel approach for the crowdsourced dynamic vertical mapping of buildings. For achieving this, we use the barometric sensor of smartphones to estimate altitude differences and the moment of the outdoor to indoor transition to extract reference pressure. We have identified the outdoor-indoor transition (OITransition) via the fusion of four different sensors.
