Work is focused on a concept we call Intelligent User Shadows for Next Generation Wireless Services (INGenioUS). The aim of INGenioUS is to seamlessly integrate all network access technologies into a single - uniform perception wireless access system to the user. To do this an agent is introduced into the wired network communicating with the user's terminal and all corresponding hosts. There are many novel aspects to this work, e.g., the introduction of software IP mobility and soft vertical handoffs among others. A technical report can be found here.

In the context of the Connect project hosted by the Assist Laboratory, personal portable devices are developed to aid people with disabilities providing timely communications with their care providers and loved ones. Additionally, sensory devices are developed to relay environmental and personal reading possibly to alert for any exceptional circumstances.

Another project is focused on extending power wheelchairs with features of self navigation using localization techniques and real time sensory readings (and networks).
