Abstract. We consider the problem of optimally designing a body wireless sensor network, while taking into account the uncertainty of data generation of biosensors. Since the related min-max robustness Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem can be difficult to solve even for state-of-the-art commercial optimization solvers, we propose an original heuristic for its solution. The heuristic combines deterministic and probabilistic variable fixing strategies, guided by the information coming from strengthened linear relaxations of the ILP robust model, and includes a very large neighborhood search for reparation and improvement of generated solutions, formulated as an ILP problem solved exactly. Computational tests on realistic instances show that our heuristic finds solutions of much higher quality than a state-of-the-art solver and than an effective benchmark heuristic.

The emerging technology of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is bringing a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery. A broad range of e-Health applications can be conceived, with considerable benefits for both patients and healthcare providers. Many technological challenges have to be met, however, to ensure the widespread adoption of e-Health solutions in the future. In this context, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview on M2M systems for e-Health applications from a wireless communication perspective. We provide an overview of the candidate wireless technologies that are suitable for different parts of the M2M system architecture and then show how these technologies are seamlessly integrated to provide an end-to-end e-Health solution. In particular, we discuss end-toend solution designs and testbed implementations, we present the key security and privacy challenges associated with the sensitive nature of medical data and we summarize the most recent research projects dedicated to e-Health applications.

“…With the rapid advancements in sensor and wireless communication technologies, various novel Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are emerging such as humanoid robots [11], wireless body area networks [8,16], smart home applications, intelligent vehicles and various intelligent control systems [26]. An important function of these systems is to provide a close monitoring on the status of the operation environments so that timely and appropriate responses can be generated to react to critical events occurring in the environments [2].…”

“…A common way to support real-time monitoring functions effectively in CPS is to use periodic application transactions which are defined according to the specific requirements of the monitoring tasks [16]. Each invocation of an application transaction has a hard deadline on its completion time [24].…”

An effective fixed priority co-scheduling algorithm for periodic update and application transactions

et al. 2012

An important function of many Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is to provide a close monitoring of the operation environment to be able to adapt to changing situations effectively. One of the commonly applied techniques for that is to invoke time-constrained periodic application transactions to check the status of the operation environment. The status of the environment is represented by the values of the physical entities in the operation environment which are maintained as real-time data objects in a real-time database. Unfortunately, meeting the deadlines of application transactions and maintaining the quality of real-time data objects are conflicting with each other, because they compete for the same computation resources. To address this problem of update and application transactions co-scheduling problem, in this paper, we propose a fixed priority co-scheduling algorithm called Periodic Co-Scheduling ( PCS). PCS uses periodic update transactions to maintain the temporal validity of real-time data objects. It judiciously decides the priority orders among all the update and application transactions so that the constructed schedule can satisfy the deadline constraints of all the application transactions and at the same time maximize the qualities of the real-time data objects to ensure the correct execution of application transactions. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated through extensive simulation experiments.
