Today's mobile battery-powered communication devices require that users access chargers via wired and, recently, wireless recharging facilities. For a device departing from a location with a given energy ``budget'', a plausible strategy is to seek a charger location once the energy is exhausted....

The ubiquity of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in everyday life allows various sensors to be utilized in networked systems for solving a number of real-world problems. Models utilizing specific sensing modalities achieve impressive performance in understanding human activity and are used in...

We consider the problem of estimating the location of people as they move and work in indoor environments. More specifically, we focus on the scenario where one of the persons of interest is unable or unwilling to carry a smartphone, or any other âwearableâ device, which frequently arises in...

We propose the use of embedded in-wall thermoelectric harvester to power the nodes of a wireless sensor network. We exploit significant temperature differences of indoor and outdoor environments in cold climates. We use real measurements to evaluate the use of the temperature difference as a...

Recognizing the indoor activities of people is a key functionality of smart homes, since it is a prerequisite for any supportive action in service of the occupants. In this thesis, we investigate the multiple occupant localization problem in indoor environments. We developed a method based on the...
