Title:    HEMS Toolkit: A Toolkit for Constructing a Home Energy Management System       
Authors:
   Tomoki Yoshihisa (Osaka University, JP), Naotaka Fujita and Masahiko Tsukamoto  (Kobe University, JP)       
Abstract:    Increased global interest in environmental issues has led to demands for power consumption reduction of home electronics. Home energy management systems (HEMS) achieve this by monitoring and controlling the power consumption of home electronics. To reduce power consumption adequately, we need to flexibly customize HEMS based on user policies. However, conventional HEMS are completely systematized and it is difficult to customize them. Conventional HEMS lack versatility. In this paper, we develop a toolkit for constructing HEMS. Our developed toolkit adopts rule-based description for monitoring and controlling the power consumption of home electronics. Since we can easily customize HEMS by changing rules, our developed toolkit can provide versatility.       
       
Title:   An Open Platform for Distributed, Scalable and Adaptive Interactive Applications for CE Devices       
Authors:
     Vlad Stirbu and Tapani Leppanen (Nokia, FI)       
Abstract:
    This paper presents our platform for developing interactive applications for consumer electronic devices that have the ability to scale and adapt to the device look and feel. The platform provides a realization of the remote user interface metaphor, having the application logic on one device and the user interfaces exported on remote devices. As an example, we provide a demonstration of a multi-user distributed Texas Hold'em application.       
       
Title:   Demonstration of Synchronized Information-Sharing Method on Web       
Authors:
   Shunsuke Kurumatani, Masashi Toyama, Eric Chen and Yoshiko Sueda (NTT, JP)       
Abstract:
   There is undoubtedly an increase in the number of Web-connected devices, such as home appliances, handheld devices, and smartphones. Though Web applications are intended for information sharing among users, conventional Web technology does not sufficiently support synchronized sharing of information among various devices. We propose a method for synchronized sharing information among various Web-connected devices. We present an online bingo game system as an example of an information-sharing application. Members of the bingo game can shout "Bingo!" at the same time among all members from different environments.       
       
Title:    Real-Time Probing of End-to-End Capacity and Available Bandwidth in Heterogeneous Local Networks       
Authors:

Abstract:    Current QoS solutions for home networks are inspired by Internet technologies and typically based on traffic classification and prioritization. They are not well adopted because they need to be supported by every device in the end-to-end path to be effective. Besides, their use still does not guarantee that enough bandwidth will be available between a server and a client. It is therefore preferable to diagnose a home network in real time before admitting a new flow. We demonstrate a new method which probes the end-to-end path capacity as well as the available bandwidth in a small-scale IP network. Its distinguishing features are the applicability to networks consisting of legacy devices and any mixture of wired, wireless, and no-new-wires links, in combination with fast convergence, high accuracy, and non-intrusiveness.       
       
Title:    Convergent Identity: Seamless OPENID Services for 3G Dongles Using SSL Enabled USIM Smart Cards       
Authors:
     Pascal Urien (ENST, Paris, FR)        
Abstract:
   This demonstration shows an innovative concept that introduces PKI for mobile operators. A commercial 3G dongle is equipped with an USIM module used for subscriber's authentication. The USIM embeds a tiny SSL stack written for java cards. The 3G modem delivers internet connectivity and realizes strong mutual SSL authentication providing, in the presented use case, seamless access to real OPENID services.

Abstract:
   The Smart u-Learning System is designed to provide an interactive and social learning environment that accommodates emerging devices. This demonstration will show how teachers and students can use its interactivity and social features in live lecture situations.       
       
User-friendly Digital Watermark Extraction Using Semi-transparent Image       
Authors:
   Mitsuo Okada (Kyoto University, JP), Sakito Matsuyama (Mutech Trail Inc., JP), Yoshinori Hara (Graduate School of Management, Kyoto University, JP)       
Abstract:
   A user-friendly digital watermark extraction method is proposed in this paper. Watermark in analog paper such as paper currency can be extracted by simply transmitting the light through the paper. On the other hand, most existing digital watermarking methods require an extraction program. However, ordinary people cannot verify the validity of an extraction program. Moreover, most of them are black-box in order to protect formerly embedded images which may be analyzed by reverse engineering. The proposed digital watermarking can be extracted by any people with no special skill, knowledge, nor tools. Only a web browser without JavaScript or Flash, and a filtering image are needed. We have evaluated robustness and perceptual evaluation of the proposed method which provide an effective result.       
       
Title:    Evidence Collection From Car Black Boxes Using Smartphones       
Authors:
    ChulWha Hong, Truong Le, Kangsuk Chae and Souhwan Jung (Soongsil University, KR)       
Abstract:   This demonstration shows a process to collect critical video clips from car black boxes using smart phones. Critical video clips in the black box are hashed to provide data integrity before being transmitted to the police server. Without VANET infrastructure, smart phones are very useful communication media for car black boxes.       
       
Title:   Visualization and Control System for Wireless Network Using Augmented Reality Technology       
Author:
    Hideki Shimada (Doshisha University, JP)       
Abstract:
   There are various kinds of wireless network devices, such as cellular phone and wireless sensors, around us in a ubiquitous environment. Unlike a wired network, we cannot grasp the exact status of a wireless network in real space. Moreover, it is difficult to understand the relationships of connectivity intuitively, since network management software is used in a virtual two-dimensional space.       
       
Title:    Wireless Sensor Network Based on OCDMA for Closed Environments       
Authors:
     Jesus Martin-Gonzalez (Universidad de Burgos, ES), Enrique Poves, Guillermo Campo-Jimenez an d, Francisco Lopez-Hernandez (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, ES)       
Abstract:
   An infrared optical wireless system is presented, consisting on autonomous remote nodes communicating with a central node. The network is designed for telecommand/telemetry purposes, comprising a large number of nodes at a low data rate . Simultaneous access is granted by using CDMA techniques, and an appropriate selection of the code family can also keep power consumption to a minimum.

Title:    Power Routing Switches Toward Energy-on-Demand Home Networking       
Authors:
    Tomoki Shibata, Kazumi Sakai and Yasuo Okabe (Kyoto University, JP)       
Abstract:
    An on-demand electric power supply architecture in home based on quality-aware routing is proposed. In the architecture power sources and powered devices send quality parameters by which they supply or consume electric power. The network itself chooses best matching of a source and a device, and makes reservation of a path. In this demonstration on-demand multi sources energy routing and snatching other devices' energy considering precedence on the proposed architecture with implemented routing switches are shown.       
       
Title:   Adaptive Network Services on Advanced Relay Nodes       
Authors:
    Masayoshi Shimamura, Takeshi Ikenaga and Masato Tsuru (Kyushu Institute of Technology, JP)       
Abstract:
  The explosive growth of usage with diversifying communication technologies and applications imposes the Internet to manage further scalability and diversity, which requires more adaptive and flexible sharing schemes of network resource. Especially when a number of distributed applications concurrently share the resource, efficacy on comprehensive usage of network, computation, and storage resources is needed to achieve a good information processing performance as a whole. In response to this problem, we have proposed a concept of adaptive network services enabled by advanced relay nodes. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of advanced relay processing, rather than simple IP forwarding, using a prototype implementation of advanced relay nodes.
