Demonstrating Context-Aware Services in the MobilityFirst Future
Internet Architecture
28th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 28), Würzburg, Germany, (September 2016)Zusammenfassung
As the amount of mobile devices populating the Internet keeps growing at
tremendous pace, context-aware services have gained a lot of traction
thanks to the wide set of potential use cases they can be applied to.
Environmental sensing applications, emergency services and location-aware
messaging are just a few examples of applications that are expected to
increase in popularity in the next few years.
The MobilityFirst future Internet architecture, a clean-slate Internet
architecture design, provides the necessary abstractions for creating and
managing context-aware services. Starting from these abstractions we design
a context services framework, which is based on a set of three fundamental
mechanisms: an easy way to specify context based on human understandable
techniques, i.e. use of names; an architecture supported management
mechanism that allows both to conveniently deploy the service and
efficiently provide management capabilities; and a native delivery system
that reduces the tax on the network components and on the overhead cost of
deploying such applications.
In this paper, we present an emergency alert system for vehicles assisting
first responders that exploits users location awareness to support quick
and reliable alert messages for interested vehicles. By deploying a demo of
the system on a nationwide testbed, we aim to provide better understanding
of the dynamics involved in our designed framework.
