MOSAIC vision and scenarios for mobile collaborative work related to health and wellbeing
The main objective of the MOSAIC project is to accelerate innovation in Mobile Worker Support Environments by shaping future research and innovation activities in Europe. The modus operandi of MOSAIC is to develop visions and illustrative scenarios for future collaborative workspaces involving mobile and location-aware working. Analysis of the scenarios is input to the process of road mapping with the purpose of developing strategies for R&D leading to deployment of innovative mobile work technologies and applications across different domains. This paper relates to one specific domain, that of Health and Wellbeing. The focus is therefore is on mobile working environments which enable mobile collaborative working related to the domain of healthcare and wellbeing services for citizens. This paper reports the work of MOSAIC T2.2 on the vision and scenarios for mobile collaborative work related to this domain. This work was also an input to the activity of developing the MOSAIC roadmap for future research and development targeted at realization of the future Health and Wellbeing vision. The MOSAIC validation process for the Health and Wellbeing scenarios is described and one scenario – the Major Incident Scenario - is presented in detail
Toward a Wired Ad Hoc Nanonetwork
Nanomachines promise to enable new medical applications, including drug
delivery and real time chemical reactions' detection inside the human body.
Such complex tasks need cooperation between nanomachines using a communication
network. Wireless Ad hoc networks, using molecular or electromagnetic-based
communication have been proposed in the literature to create flexible
nanonetworks between nanomachines. In this paper, we propose a Wired Ad hoc
NanoNETwork (WANNET) model design using actin-based nano-communication. In the
proposed model, actin filaments self-assembly and disassembly is used to create
flexible nanowires between nanomachines, and electrons are used as carriers of
information. We give a general overview of the application layer, Medium Access
Control (MAC) layer and a physical layer of the model. We also detail the
analytical model of the physical layer using actin nanowire equivalent
circuits, and we present an estimation of the circuit component's values.
Numerical results of the derived model are provided in terms of attenuation,
phase and delay as a function of the frequency and distances between
nanomachines. The maximum throughput of the actin-based nanowire is also
provided, and a comparison between the maximum throughput of the proposed
WANNET, vs other proposed approaches is presented. The obtained results prove
that the proposed wired ad hoc nanonetwork can give a very high achievable
throughput with a smaller delay compared to other proposed wireless molecular
communication networks.Comment: submitted to IEEE International Conference on Communications 2020
