I am a lecturer at the University of Deusto,
Bilbao, Spain, and Principal Investigador of the e-nvironment research line at Tecnologico Fundacion Deusto.
My primary research topic is Embedded Intelligence, particularly Semantic web in
ubiquitous computing, telematics, and wireless sensor networks technologies.
I obtained a PhD (with Doctor Europeus, since I carried out part of it at Lancaster University, UK) for my research on the synergies between the Semantic Web and Ubiquitous Computing, with applications in Ambient Intelligence (AmI)
scenarios. More info about by PhD here. Visit my Ambient Intelligence Research Blog at awareIT.com

| Social devices: autonomous artifacts that communicate on the Internet | Juan Ignacio Vazquez and Diego López de Ipiña. Internet of Things 2008. First International Conference, IOT 2008, Zurich, Switzerland, March 26-28, 2008, Proceedings. Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science , Vol. 4952.
The Internet has boosted people collaboration, enabling new forms of exchanging knowledge and engaging in social activities. The Web2.0 paradigm (also called the Social Web) has greatly contributed to this achievement. We believe that the next wave of smart devices and digital objects will leverage the pervasiveness of Internet connectivity in order to form ecosystems and societies of artifacts that implement Internet basedsocial behaviors and interact with existing Internet-based social networks. In this paper, we introduce the concept of social device and describe our experiences creating different kinds of augmented objects that use the Internet in order to promote socialization, look smarter and better serve users. We finally identify several challenges in the researchof devices that behave in social ways. | | Download ivazquez_iot2008.pdf | | |
| Flexeo: an architecture for integrating Wireless Sensor Networks into the Internet of Things | Juan Ignacio Vazquez, Aitor Almeida, Iker Doamo, Xabier Laiseca and Pablo Orduña. Proceedings of UCAmI 2008 - 3rd Symposium of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, Salamanca, Spain, October 2008.
Wireless sensor networks are a hot topic in Ubiquitous Computing for implementing context-awareness scenarios. The connection of sensor nodes to the Internet leads to new ways for remote monitoring of human behavior in real-time. In this paper, we introduce Flexeo: a flexible architecture for implementing monitoring solutions based on wireless sensor networks, with distributed intelligence at different layers. In this way, sensor-populated scenarios may communicate with Internet-based facilities enabling the vision of an Internet of Things. | |

| Principles and experiences on creating semantic devices | Juan Ignacio Vazquez and Diego López de Ipiña. Proceedings of UCAmI 2007 - The Second International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence. September, 2007.
"Current approaches for designing smart objects are failing to provide suitable mechanisms for autonomous distributed intelligence. The next wave of Ubiquitous Computing architectures must be composed of devices capable of adapting to new unforeseen situations and collaborating to determine and react to users’ needs. We argue that semantic technologies, conveniently scaled to embedded platforms, can provide suitable context representation mechanisms and the level of intelligence required for dealing with everyday situations in resource-limited devices. Semantic devices are able to collaboratively interpret context information and choreographically react to situations that were not considered at the moment of design. Their novel future-proof nature along with their socializing capabilities determines a new exciting approach for deploying Ubiquitous Computing scenarios." | | Download ivazquez_ucami2007.pdf | | |

| mRDP: An HTTP-based lightweight semantic discovery protocol | Juan Ignacio Vazquez and Diego López de Ipiña. Computer Networks Journal - Special Issue on Innovations in Web Communications Infrastructure, vol 51, issue 16. Elsevier 2007.
"Discovery is one of the most important activities in ubiquitous and distributed computing, with a plethora of available protocols. Most of these protocols are designed for one concrete purpose: network nodes discovery, service discovery, search of specific information stored through the network, and so forth. Designing a single discovery system able to deal with the particularities of many different information structures and purposes seems not feasible. Moreover, these data structures possess some underlaying meanings and relationships that are usually hidden from traditional discovery protocols that use simple text-based matchmaking. A semantic discovery protocol could solve this problem by taking advantage of semantically annotated data and performing reasoning over the information to obtain additional knowledge that can be crucial in processing the queries. In this paper, we describe the basics of a novel semantic discovery mechanism called mRDP (Multicast Resource Discovery Protocol) built upon HTTP and Semantic Web technology to provide more powerful discovery capabilities." | | Download ivazquez_COMPNW3613.pdf | | |

"Despite several efforts during the last years, the web model and semantic web technologies have not yet been successfully applied to empower Ubiquitous Computing architectures in order to create knowledge-rich environments populated by interconnected smart devices. In this paper we point out some problems of these previous initiatives and introduce SoaM (Smart Objects Awareness and Adaptation Model), an architecture for designing and seamlessly deploying web-powered context-aware semantic gadgets. Implementation and evaluation details of SoaM are also provided in order to identify future research challenges." | | Download (draft) ivazquez_IJWIS_v1.0_DRAFT.pdf | | |

ECAI 2006 - 17th European Conference of Artificial Intelligence. The Second International Workshop on Semantic Web Technology For Ubiquitous and Mobile Applications (SWUMA'06).
"The Ubiquitous Web concept encourages the application of existing well-known and state-of-the-art web technologies in Ubiquitous Computing scenarios. A particular interpretation of the Ubiquitous Web is the Pervasive Semantic Web, where the joint synergies of the Semantic Web model and Ubiquitous Computing technologies are integrated in order to create intelligent environments populated by smart objects. In this paper we present a general vision and preliminary results on the evaluation of SOAM -- Smart Objects Awareness and Adaptation Model --, a pure 100\% Web-based environment reactivity model that uses orchestration mechanisms to coordinate existing smart objects in Pervasive Semantic Web scenarios in order to achieve automatic adaptation to user preferences." | | Download ivazquezSWUMA2006.pdf | | |

"An interesting new application domain for handheld devices may be represented by Ambient Intelligence (AmI), where they can be used as intermediaries between us and our surrounding environment. Thus, the devices, which always accompany us, will behave as electronic butlers who assist us in our daily tasks, by interacting with the smart objects (everyday objects augmented with computational services) in our whereabouts. In order to achieve such goal, this paper proposes an AmI-enabling framework providing two main functions: a) facilitate the development and deployment of smart objects and b) transform mobile devices into universal remote controllers of those smart objects." | | Download EMI2letsJUCS.pdf | | |
