Hi,

I am happy to announce you a new paper about Mobile Cloud Robotics as a 
Service with OCCI.

Title: Mobile Cloud Robotics as a Service with OCCIware

Abstract: We have recently witnessed the emerging of cloud computing on 
one hand and robotics platforms on the other hand. Naturally, these two 
visions have been merging to give birth to the Cloud Robotics paradigm 
in order to offer even more remote services. But such a vision is still 
in its infancy. Architectures and platforms are still to be defined to 
efficiently program robots so they can provide different services, in a 
standardized way masking their heterogeneity. This paper introduces Open 
Mobile Cloud Robotics Interface (OMCRI), a Robot-as-a-Service vision 
based platform, which offers a unified easy access to remote 
heterogeneous mobile robots. OMCRI encompasses an extension of the Open 
Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standard and a gateway hosting mobile 
robot resources. We then provide an implementation of OMCRI based on the 
open source model-driven Eclipse-based OCCIware tool chain and 
illustrates its use for three off-the-shelf mobile robots: Lego 
Mindstorm NXT, Turtlebot, and Parrot AR.Drone.
