SysMART Indoor Services: A System of Smart and Connected Supermarkets
Smart gadgets are being embedded almost in every aspect of our lives. From
smart cities to smart watches, modern industries are increasingly supporting
the Internet of Things (IoT). SysMART aims at making supermarkets smart,
productive, and with a touch of modern lifestyle. While similar implementations
to improve the shopping experience exists, they tend mainly to replace the
shopping activity at the store with online shopping. Although online shopping
reduces time and effort, it deprives customers from enjoying the experience.
SysMART relies on cutting-edge devices and technology to simplify and reduce
the time required during grocery shopping inside the supermarket. In addition,
the system monitors and maintains perishable products in good condition
suitable for human consumption. SysMART is built using state-of-the-art
technologies that support rapid prototyping and precision data acquisition. The
selected development environment is LabVIEW with its world-class interfacing
libraries. The paper comprises a detailed system description, development
strategy, interface design, software engineering, and a thorough analysis and
evaluation.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figur

Towards NFC payments using a lightweight architecture for the Web of Things
The Web (and Internet) of Things has seen the rapid emergence of new protocols and standards, which provide for innovative models of interaction for applications. One such model fostered by the Web of Things (WoT) ecosystem is that of contactless interaction between devices. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is one such enabler of contactless interactions. Contactless technology for the WoT requires all parties to agree one common definition and implementation and, in this paper, we propose a new lightweight architecture for the WoT, based on RESTful approaches. We show how the proposed architecture supports the concept of a mobile wallet, enabling users to make secure payments employing NFC technology with their mobile devices. In so doing, we argue that the vision of the WoT is brought a step closer to fruition
A Generic Information and Consent Framework for the IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) raises specific issues in terms of information
and consent, which makes the implementation of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) challenging in this context. In this report, we propose a
generic framework for information and consent in the IoT which is protective
both for data subjects and for data controllers. We present a high level
description of the framework, illustrate its generality through several
technical solutions and case studies, and sketch a prototype implementation
Weathering the Nest: Privacy Implications of Home Monitoring for the Aging American Population
The research in this paper will seek to ascertain the extent of personal data entry and collection required to enjoy at least the minimal promised benefits of distributed intelligence and monitoring in the home. Particular attention will be given to the abilities and sensitivities of the population most likely to need these devices, notably the elderly and disabled. The paper will then evaluate whether existing legal limitations on the collection, maintenance, and use of such data are applicable to devices currently in use in the home environment and whether such regulations effectively protect privacy. Finally, given appropriate policy parameters, the paper will offer proposals to effectuate reasonable and practical privacy-protective solutions for developers and consumers
