Smart PIN: Performance and Cost-oriented Context-Aware Personal Information Network

The next generation of networks will involve heterogeneous technologies such as WPAN, WLAN, WMAN, 3G, etc. Even though they adopt the Internet Protocol (IP) as common infrastructure, the heterogeneity of connectivity provides various challenges in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness and quality of service. Furthermore, these technologies are converged into many computing and consumer electronic devices that enable acquisition and storage of information and most support user-triggered data transfer between them. This has supported user demands for ubiquitous access to data distributed across different devices. Even though metadata (data describing data) is used to help user mitigate intervention, the metadata and content are distributed around the user’s device space. Applications on these systems require personalised services, user-centric approaches and simple user-device interaction.

 

To support these, we propose Smart PIN - a novel performance and cost-oriented, context-aware personal information network that enables efficient user access to information located on remote devices. Smart PIN’s architecture includes a network component, a service component and a management component.

My research interest includes:

• Next Generation Heterogeneous Network
• User-centric Content Delivery
• Data Replication Technique
• Multiple Source Multimedia Delivery
• Cross-layer approach for Networking
