   abstract = {A tremendous amount of energy is wasted today, because computing devices are left running all the time even though they are needed only sporadically. Especially in office environments many devices (e.g., printers) are very rarely turned off, because they need to be available from time to time and because it is inconvenient having to switch them on and off manually. Existing solutions, such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL), provide support for managing the power consumption of the network devices remotely using an always-on data channel. However, these solutions are inefficient, because power to the network interface has to be maintained even when the host system is asleep just to ensure remote accessibility.
We propose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based out-of-band signaling architecture for network interfaces which minimizes the systems’ power consumption during the large idle periods when nobody is using them. This is done by separating the data and control channels on the Internet-enabled devices using a low-power out-of-band signaling channel based on battery driven, energy scavenging devices. Unlike existing solutions, which only allow parts of the system to go in sleep modes, our architecture allows the whole system, including the main power supply, to be shut down.
Our initial investigation indicates a significant reduction in energy consumption of devices during idle times compared to the existing in-band signaling mechanisms such as WoL.},

   abstract = {Content sharing using personal web pages, blogs, or online social networks is a common means for people to maintain contact with their friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. While such means are essential to overcome distances, using infrastructure services for location-based services may not be desirable. In this paper, we analyze a fully distributed variant of an ephemeral content sharing service, solely dependent on the mobile devices in the vicinity using principles of opportunistic networking.
The net result is a best effort service for floating content in which: 1) information dissemination is geographically limited; 2) the lifetime and spreading of information depends on interested nodes being available; 3) content can only be created and distributed locally; and 4) content can only be added, but not explicitly deleted. First we present our system design and summarize its analytical modeling. Then we perform extensive evaluation for a map-based mobility model in downtown Helsinki to assess the operational range for floating content, which, at the same time also validate the analytical results obtained for a more abstract model of the system.},

   abstract = {The lack of permanent network infrastructure and often unplanned deployments in many multihop wireless communication scenarios restrict nodes to determine their own addresses based on the underlying connectivity in the network. However, due to unreliable connectivity and rapidly changing link qualities in wireless networks, establishing uniform addressing and stable point-to-point routing is challenging. In this paper, we present Statistical Vector Routing (SVR), a virtual coordinates based addressing and routing mechanism that efficiently deals with dynamic communication links in wireless networks. It assigns stable probabilistic addresses to nodes without the need to pessimistically estimate links over longer periods of time. The routing metric predicts the current location of a node in its address distribution. Our prototype implementation over real testbeds indicates that SVR, when compared to current approaches, achieves 3 times more stable addressing, reduces the magnitude of change in addresses by 2-10 times, and minimizes the hop distance and transmissions in the network by 10-15\%.},
