  ABSTRACT={The simulation of nanobots in their working environment is crucial to
  promote their application in the medical context. Several simulators for
  nanonetworks investigate new communication paradigms at nanoscale. However,
  the influence of the environment, namely the human body, on the movement
  and communication of nanobots was not considered so far. We propose a
  framework for simulating medical nanonetworks, which integrates a
  nanonetwork simulator with a body simulator. We derive requirements for a
  body model that forms the basis for our prototypical implementation of the
  body simulator BloodVoyagerSas part of the network simulator ns-3. An
  evaluation shows that BloodVoyagerS successfully moves nanobots in the
  simulated cardiovascular system. After about 7 minutes, the nanobot
  distribution reaches a dynamic equilibrium. The prototype shows promise to
  provide a more realistic full-body simulation to investigate movement and
  communication of nanobots in medical applications.}

    abstract={Nanodevices, tiny robots operating within a human body, may help to detect and treat many kinds of diseases. As their individual abilities are limited by size, they need to work in concert. Communication provides the fundamental ability to enable this collaboration. In medicine, nanodevices act as a tool for a physician to report sensor data and receive action commands. Their communication thus flows to and from a gateway to the macro world. Routing algorithms focus on enabling these data streams. We propose a new routing algorithm for medical nanonetworks based on a network topology constructed from the hop count distance to a singular gateway. It exploits the distance as a direction indicator to deliver data towards or away from the gateway. The resource constrained nanodevices store no unique identity, but only require a single integer each. Simulation results show that a naive implementation produces exponentially many messages. We mitigate this with a second approach by removing the hop count when retrieving sensor data, which requires only a linear number of messages. Our comparison finds the latter to be more efficient in terms of transmitted messages, while the first implementation is more suitable for routing several messages in parallel.}

  due to its severe resource constraints, a nanoscale device might not
  execute complex tasks on its own. For this, we envision a medical
  nanonetwork, comprising an in-body network built of nanonodes
  and a Body Area Network (BAN) built of macroscale devices coordinating
  and controlling the nanonodes. Due to the characteristics
  of the in-body network and its nodes, conventional routing protocols
  for macroscale mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are not directly
  applicable and novel approaches are needed. However, since
  a nanonetwork shares some characteristics of macroscale MANETs,
  we identied promising protocols and evaluated their suitability for
  nanonetworks using THz communication. We define requirements
  for their applicability and compared their performance.}

  their environment is taken for granted and precondition for application
  scenarios. However, how this is done and which diagnostic procedures

Over the last decade, it has attracted attention from many different perspectives, including material sciences, biomedical engineering, and algorithm design. With growing maturity and diversity, a common terminology is increasingly important. In this paper, we analyze the state of the art of nanoscale computational devices, and infer common requirements. We combine these with definitions for macroscale machines and robots to define Nanodevices, an umbrella term that includes all nanosized artificial devices. We derive definitions for Nanomachines and Nanorobots, each with a set of mandatory and optional components. Constraints concerning artificiality and purpose distinguish Nanodevices from nanoparticles and natural life forms. Additionally, we define a Nanonetwork as a network comprised of Nanodevices, and show the specific challenges for Medical Nanorobots and Nanonetworks. We integrate our definition into the current research of Nanodevice components with a set of examples for electronic and biological implementations.},

    ABSTRACT={The Internet of Things aims to integrate arbitrary things with the
    Internet. Sadly, the majority of things lacks of the ability to communicate
    which makes a direct integration with a communication network, i.e., the
    Internet, impossible. We overcome this limitation by introducing refined
    versions of Semantic Entities, with special Web Services, representing
    arbitrary real-world things states using (possibly aggregated) sensor
    values. Sensors can be considered ubiquitous, e.g., due to the omnipresence
    of smartphones.
  
    Our architecture of a Semantic Web of Things bases on sensors providing
    their measurements in RDF. We account for the common fact of resource
    constraints on sensor platforms by introducing a scalable caching mechanism
    for RDF data within a network of proxies (SSPs). Consequently, the
    individual Semantic Entities find and aggregate relevant (sensor) data via
    SPARQL. Besides scalabilty, the proxies also solve the issue of the sensor
    platforms diversity in terms of communication interfaces.}

  twofold. First, we propose an appropriate API to encapsulate data
  dissemination protocols like AutoCast and we specify the service
  interface of AutoCast in detail. This API can serve as a reference model
  for other nature and biologically inspired data dissemination approaches

Current traffic monitoring and management approaches with stationary infrastructure lack flexibility with respect to system deployment and have difficulties with detecting unpredictable events (e.g., accidents). One goal of AutoNomos is the development of a distributed and selforganising traffic information and management system without a centralised infrastructure. Our system relies on a GPS-based navigation system and a wireless radio interface; vehicles can gather information about the current position on the road network and form a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) to share information about traffic phenomena. In this article, we introduce Hovering Data Clouds (HDCs) as a tool to collect, aggregate and disseminate application-specific data. HDCs evolve in a self-organising manner at locations of relevant data in the system. Although their data is hosted on the nodes, HDCs exist independent of the individual carriers. While HDCs float between physical carriers, their corresponding HDC messages are disseminated in the network by a new effective transport protocol named AutoCast, designed according to Organic Computing paradigms. Finally, we demonstrate that HDCs detect traffic phenomena reliably and propagate them robustly within the network.",
