Trusted Services for Risk Management in WorkEnvironments

In work environments, considered as pervasive environments with persons, materials, and tools which can be controlled via heterogeneous technological devices, several risks can be corrected and even prevented if properly managed. We propose an approach to address risks in work environments through trusted web services widespread on the various devices which monitor and control the safety status of the environment. We integrate the notion of risks in an environment with trust, such that one drives the other providing feedback for dynamic alerts based on the environment's constraints. A trusted cooperation protocol for services is outlined so that services can interact along wireless lines or service grids. We outline the technological features of a service system, which collects data from sensors and implements safety control technologies in work areas

Integration of OMF-Based Testbeds in a Global-Scale Networking Facility

Abstract. PlanetLab is a global scale platform for experimentation of new networking applications in a real environment. It consists of several nodes, offered by academic institutions or companies spread all over the world, that can be shared by the networking community for its tests. The main drawback of PlanetLab is its scarce heterogeneity in terms of the access technologies it offers. In this paper we discuss the efforts we made in order to alleviate this problem. We first developed a tool that allowed us to integrate a WiFi testbed controllable by OMF (Orbit Management Framework) [16] in PlanetLab by means of a multi-homed PlanetLab node. OMF is a set of tools that make it easy to automatically execute experiments and collect measurements on a WiFi testbed. The tool we developed allows, more generally, to solve the issues that arises with multi-homed PlanetLab nodes (i.e. PlanetLab nodes having more than a network interface). In order to be able to fully exploit the potential of such PlanetLab nodes, there is the need for the users to add routin
