It is our honor and pleasure to welcome everyone to the SmartObjects 2015 Workshop. This is the 1st edition of a workshop that wants to become a point of attraction for researchers in the area. Internet of Things, Smart-cities and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and global cooperative infrastructure built upon objects intelligence and self-configuring capabilities; these connected objects are finding their way into vehicles (smart-cars), urban areas (smart-cities) and infrastructure (smart-grid).
The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. Even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings.
The SmartObjects workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. The contributions presented in this workshop described original and previously unpublished works addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena. The workshop received 19 submissions from 12 different countries, from which 6 contributions were selected, giving an acceptance rate of 32%. Three posters describing novel and on-going research were also allotted.
Finally, three invited papers from renowned researchers in the area further enrich the program.

A Novel Smart Object-Driven UI Generation Approach for Mobile Devices in the Internet of Things
The broad adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is linked to the possibility to discover and interact easily with objects in the surroundings of users. Because of their characteristics and large diffusion, mobile devices are perfect to connect the ...
Adaptive Drone Sensing with Always Return-To-Home Guaranteed
In this paper, we proposed an Adaptive Return-to-Home Sensing (ARS) algorithm for a drone sensing system deployed in an open area with missions to conduct periodic environmental sensing. ARS scheme is able to conduct as many rounds of environmental ...
SoundWrite: Text Input on Surfaces through Mobile Acoustic Sensing
Interacting with explosively growing mobile devices is becoming imperative. This paper presents SoundWrite, a mobile acoustic sensing system that enables text input into commercial off-the-shelf devices without any accessories. SoundWrite leverages the ...
Two-Way Communication Protocol using Bluetooth Low Energy Advertisement Frames
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless personal area network technology designed to provide low-power connectivity to smartphones and wearable devices. To transmit bidirectional data, devices must first discover each other and then start a pairing ...
Poster: Revocation in VANETs Based on k-ary Huffman Trees
One of the biggest problems of vehicular ad-hoc networks is revocation. The efficient management of such issue has become one of the major paradigms in this area of research. A solution proposed here is based on the use of authenticated data structures ...
Poster: Indoor Location System for Vehicles
This work describes a new alternative to solve the problem of indoor location for vehicles in places such as underground or indoor car parks in malls, where the use of GPS devices is either impossible or not precise enough. The new proposal is based on ...
Poster: Activity-Based Access Control for IoT
In traditional access control systems, a process is granted or not the access to a resource following a control on a single action without taking into consideration user and/or system context. In this paper we introduce a novel concept and a generalized ...
Needle in a Haystack: Limiting the Search Space in Mission-aware Packet Forwarding for Drones
Micro aerial vehicles may build a collective of smart sensor objects cooperating in civilian missions such as search and rescue, farmland monitoring, or surveillance. Wireless connectivity is a prerequisite for transferring images and other sensor data ...
Management and Coordination Framework for Aerial-Terrestrial Smart Drone Networks
According to the paradigm of Internet of Mobile Things, the paper proposes and investigates a novel framework to support the management and the collaboration of Mobile Smart Objects (MSOs) considered as terrestrial and aerial drones (i.e., UAVs, UGVs) ...
mumble: Framework for Seamless Message Transfer on Smartphones
This work explores the possibility of transferring data between mobile devices that are nearby each other without the need of pairing, authentication, superuser access and Internet connectivity. Such technology can be used for emergency broadcast, ...
ETTAF: Efficient Target Tracking and Filming with a Flying Ad Hoc Network
In the context of Flying Ad hoc NETworks (FANET), this paper proposes a controlled mobility routing scheme to efficiently tracking a Moving Point of Interest (MPI). Once the MPI has been localized and its position reported to a ground station (GS), the ...
Accurate Device-Free Localization with Little Human Cost
The device-free localization (DFL), i.e., localizing target without requiring target attached any devices, is attractive. Current localization methods, however, query a significant degree of pre-deployment effort, such as the transceivers' locations, ...
