“…Most of these studies followed a functional paradigm to shed some light on technologies and their role in assisting older people at home. More precisely, technologies for indoor environments were associated to age-related cognitive [70] or physical impairment (e.g. [26,35]), or they were developed to detect dangerous situations such as falls [53] or anomalous living patterns [34,48].…”

In this paper, we present a close reading of work in ubicomp of applications for older people. Starting from three lines of enquiry defined in the inaugural issue of this journal, we discuss how ubicomp research has presented the relationship between technologies and older users. We base our reasoning on a review of papers published in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (1997Computing ( -2014. The lines of enquiry refer to paradigms (functional vs. sociotechnical), users (stereotype and involvement), and contexts (indoor and/or outdoor). These themes address the presentation of SUITCASE project (SUstainable Integrated & Territorial CAre SErvices). This is a two-year research on care services for older citizens within the smart home construct. We develop an initial framework that not only provides a cohesive view of technologies for older people, but also serves as a salient guideline for reflective design which extends beyond the target population. This framework may also address future design projects, funding schemes, and editorial policies.

“…En el ámbito médico se aprecia el interés de las WLAN (Paquette, 2011;Vassis, 2010), un ejemplo más es el trabajo de (Paquette, 2011), el cual propone un laboratorio para prueba de conexión y uso de equipos médicos que utilizan la red inalámbrica. Con otra mejora aparece (Gaur, 2011), el cual aborda el problema de selección de canal que hacen los puntos de acceso y clientes de una WLAN.…”

Modelo de Calidad de Servicio a Nivel de Enlace de Datos para Tráfico de Misión Crítica sobre Redes IEEE 802.11g en Modo Infraestructura

Este artículo presenta en forma sintetizada una revisión del estado del arte del estudio de la Calidad de Servicio para tráfico de misión crítica en redes de área local inalámbricas que utilizan el protocolo IEEE 802.11g. Esto con el fin de resaltar investigaciones previas que por su aporte se constituyan en un referente para orientar la propuesta de una nueva forma de abordar el aseguramiento de la calidad de servicio para este tipo de tráfico utilizando el protocolo mencionado. La revisión se basa en artículos académicos y empresariales elaborados durante el presente lustro. Como resultado de dicha revisión se evidencia que han sido muchos los esfuerzos para abordar el tema pero aún existen vacíos en la caracterización del tráfico de misión crítica y la garantía de la calidad del servicio para el mismo, debido a las nuevas aplicaciones informáticas y a la gran acogida de las redes WiFi en el ámbito empresarial y gubernamental; lo que ha generado un aumento en la demanda de los canales de acceso y, por ende, un desafío para los avances ya conocidos en la materia, tal como IEEE 802.1q.

“…Towards this direction, Vassis et al . 25 described a policy‐based architecture that utilizes wireless sensor devices, advanced network topologies and software agents to enable remote monitoring of patients and elderly people. Combining the aforementioned technologies, the authors presented a software framework that is able to continuously monitor a patient's condition and proceed, when necessary, with proper actions.…”

As the domains of pervasive computing and sensor networking are expanding, there is an ongoing trend towards assistive living and healthcare support environments that can effectively assimilate these technologies according to human needs. Most of the existing research in assistive healthcare follows a more passive approach and has focused on collecting and processing data using a static-topology and an application-aware infrastructure. However, with the technological advances in sensing, computation, storage, and communications, a new era is about to emerge changing the traditional view of sensor-based assistive environments where people are passive data consumers, with one where people carry mobile sensing elements involving large volumes of data related to everyday human activities. This evolution will be driven by peoplecentric sensing and will turn mobile phones into global mobile sensing devices enabling thousands new personal, social, and public sensing applications. In this paper, we discuss our vision for people-centric sensing in assistive healthcare environments and study the security challenges it brings. This highly dynamic and mobile setting presents new challenges for information security, data privacy and ethics, caused by the ubiquitous nature of data traces originating from sensors carried by people. We aim to instigate discussion on these critical issues because people-centric sensing will never succeed without adequate provisions on security and privacy. To that end, we discuss the latest advances in security and privacy protection strategies that hold promise in this new exciting paradigm. We hope this work will better highlight the need for privacy in people-centric sensing applications and spawn further research in this area.
