However, building context-aware applications is difficult due to the lack of adequate infrastructure support. In this paper, a web middleware architecture for the development of context-awareness applications using near field communication （NFC） is proposed. Based on it, the efficient support for acquiring, interpreting, and accessing context is provided, and the user＇s quality of experience is improved. Moreover, a mobile web middleware for the testing and full realization of NFC context-awareness applications has been developed together with two application examples.展开更多

It was developed via the collaboration between two research labs of Sapienza University of Rome： the RFID （Radio Frequency Identification） Lab and the Usability and Accessibility Lab （LUA）, both belonging to CATTID （Centre for Applications of Teleservices and of Technologies for Innovation in Digital world） research centre. Technically, SIMpliLife is a SIM-based platform for NFC mobile phones that interfaces several applications able to manage the abovementioned services. The high-level User Interface has been developed by means of Smart Card Web Server （SCWS） technology, thus providing enhanced user experience if compared to traditional SIM-based implementations based on SIM Toolkit.展开更多

Io T has provided a promising opportunity to build powerful industrial systems and applications by leveraging the growing ubiquity of RFID, wireless, mobile and sensor devices. In an effort to understand the development of Io T in industries, this paper reviews the current research of Io T, key enabling technologies, major Io T applications in industries, and identifies research trends and challenges. As Io T has received support from governments and businesses across the globe, Io T will also greatly impact One Belt One Road(OBOR) in foreseeable future.展开更多
