Textronics contribute a significant part of Internet‐of‐Things (IoT), which empowers added functionalities by connecting smart clothing in a secure way for diverse applications. For the development of flexible and stretchable textile‐based electronics, a conductive material (yarn, fabric, etc.) must be used, and fabrication techniques play a vital role that significantly influences electronic textiles’ properties. Textile‐based sensors, electrodes, and other devices seem to be the favorite choice for continuous wearable monitoring due to their low cost, flexibility, and ease of embedding. Integrating smart capabilities into textiles provides substantial benefits in the fields of healthcare, sports, automobile, and military. These developments have a profound influence on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This Review presents an in‐depth study of the current state of the art in the area of textile‐based electronics. The design, development, and evaluation techniques are discussed. Certain limitations and research gaps are also addressed regarding this emerging field. Critically, this Review is more application focused and indicates how the recent developments in electronic textiles will soon impact our lives. As these areas have typically been neglected in previous reviews, additional knowledge to the existing literature is provided by bridging the gap between the academic research and commercialization of wearable Textronics.

In this paper we present CoWSAMI, a middleware infrastructure that enables context awareness in open ambient intelligence environments, consisting of mobile users and context sources that become dynamically available as the users move from one location to another. A central requirement in such dynamic scenarios is to be able to integrate new context sources and users at run time. CoWSAMI exploits a novel approach towards this goal. The proposed approach is based on utilizing Web services as interfaces to context sources and dynamically updateable relational views for storing, aggregating and interpreting context. Context rules are employed to provide mappings that specify how to populate context relations, with respect to the different context sources that become dynamically available. An underlying context sources discovery mechanism is utilized to maintain context information up-to-date as context sources and users get dynamically involved.

Abstract. In this paper we investigate the concept of designing user-centric transaction protocols towards achieving dependable coordination in AmI environments. As a proof-of-concept, we propose a protocol that takes into account the schedules of roaming users that move from one AmI environment to another, to avoid abnormal terminations of transactions when the users leave an environment for short, only to return later. We compare the proposed schedule-aware protocol against a schedule-agnostic one. Our findings show that the use of user-centric information in such situations is quite beneficial.
