	abstract = {Vehicular Ad-hoc networks VANETs is a sub-class of Mobile Ad-hoc networks MANETs that has many promising future applications. For example, VANETs can significantly reduce car deaths. In VANETs, nodes mainly communicate by broadcasting messages to each other. Such broadcasting needs to be designed carefully to minimize both congestion and latency. However, most prior broadcasting protocols minimize either congestion or latency, but not both. In this paper, we present CPROB, a new broadcasting algorithm for VANETs that minimizes both congestion and latency. We achieve this result by setting a key parameter (namely the waiting time before retransmission) based on the characteristics of the surrounding environment. Through NS2 simulations, we show that CPROB achieves 57\% less latency and comparable congestion than prior work in congested areas. In less congested areas, CPROB has a comparable performance to prior work.},

	abstract = {RFID and WSN technologies are widely used in today{\textquoteright}s pervasive computing. In Wireless Sensor Networks, sensor nodes sense the physical environment and send the sensed data to the sink by multi-hops. WSN are used in many applications such as military and environment monitoring. In Radio Frequency Identification, a unique ID is assigned to a RFID tag which is associated with a real world object. RFID applications cover many areas such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), healthcare, library management, automatic toll collection, etc. The integration of both technologies will bring many advantages in the future of ubiquitous computing, through the provision of real-world tracking and context information about the objects. This will increase considerably the automation of an information system. In order to process the large volume of data captured by sensors and RFID readers in real time, a middleware solution is needed. This middleware should be designed in a way to allow the aggregation, filtering and grouping of the data captured by the hardware devices before sending them to the backend applications. In this paper we demonstrate how our middleware solution called FlexRFID handles large amount of RFID and sensor scan data, and executes applications{\textquoteright} business rules in real time through its policy-based Business Rules layer. The FlexRFID middleware provides easy addition and removal of hardware devices that capture data, as well as uses the business rules of the applications to control all its services. We demonstrate how the middleware controls some defined healthcare scenarios, and deals with the access control security concern to sensitive healthcare data through the use of policies.},

	abstract = {1980 marked the start of a boom in radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology, initially associated with a growing need for traceability. In view of the technological progress and lower costs, RFID{\textquoteright}s area of application became much broader and, today, multiple business sectors take advantage of this technology. But in order to achieve the maximum benefits of RFID technology, the RFID information collected should be useful, for this it is necessary that we can collect it and deliver it in the best conditions for the whole applications that have need of its exploitation, for that a dedicated middleware solution is required to ensure the collection of RFID information and their integration in an information systems. The issues and key points of this integration as the description of the RFID technology will be summarized in the present paper, with a new middleware architecture.},

	abstract = {In healthcare the importance of obtaining the right information, at the right time, irrespective of time and location dependency is very critical. Healthcare personnel need to access real-time medical data such as patient clinical histories, laboratory results, treatments, chronic diseases, medication, and insurance information. Therefore, healthcare is the most apt domain for the application of ubiquitous technologies. Ubiquitous health care aims at creating an environment where healthcare is available to everyone, everywhere through the use of technologies that would not only be pervasive but also be assimilated flawlessly in the daily lives. With large-scale wireless networks and mobile computing solutions, such as cellular 3G, Wi-Fi mesh, WiMAX, Bluetooth, RFID, and Wireless Sensor Networks, health care personnel can tap into vital information anywhere and at any time within the health care networks. Ubiquitous healthcare, although promising, there are myriad challenges associated with realizing its vision. This paper highlights some snapshots of current uses and future trends of various wireless communications in the healthcare domains, addresses their applications for e-health, states the challenges faced in a ubiquitous healthcare environment equipped with different wireless technologies, and how the resulting issues might be addressed by developing a framework that provides a flexible and convenient medical monitoring, consultation, and healthcare.},
