Our research focuses on supporting patients (persons with mild hemophilia) to self-manage injuries in cases of minor incidents. This involves bi-directional exchanges of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) between patients and the care facility. However, mobile devices rely on wireless communication channels (e.g., Wi-Fi, 3.5/4G, etc.) to transmit data and these channels can experience sporadic disconnections...
Gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiation with a very high frequency that can be biologically hazardous. Most workers in the mining, manufacturing, security, and other industries find themselves in such hazardous environments and governments are trying to contain this issue. While traditionally, high gamma radiation detection sensors have been manufactured to be carried along by users, they are not...
The diversity of the mobile landscape is shaping the business outlook of several enterprises including the agricultural sector. Today, there are several opportunities that can be harnessed in terms of productivity, mechanization, revenue, and so on when mobile technology is combined with agriculture technology. Especially, with mobile apps, agriculturists such as crop farmers can have access to timely...
This work explores the design trends on Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and the recent shift to Ubiquitous Cloud Computing (UCC). The study shows that efficient architectures for the MCC and UCC systems can be deployed through the employment of techniques such as: Virtual Machine (VM) Architectures and Migration, Data, Services, Resource and Computation Offloading, Partitioning and Parallel Execution,...
This paper presents a mobile application called MobiCrop that aids crop farmers in the application of pesticides. The requirement of the application is to have a monitoring station where updates are constantly being pushed to the farmers who are geographically dispersed. This requirement creates the need to deploy a mobile distributed architecture rather than a standalone app that has become the standard...
Mobile technology is increasingly being adopted in the agricultural space as a measure to assist farmers in decision. In this regard, the MobiCrop project was initiated by the researchers from the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and the Multi-Agent Distributed Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing (MADMUC) Lab. The aim of the project is to enable farmers to have mobile...
