With the rapid development of wireless networks new application domains are continuously proposed. One of these applications includes an underwater and underground sensor which relies on the properties of diminished RF performance to send the gathered information to a base station. Although many researchers deal with the theoretical background of the channel and propagation models, very few experimental...
Precise localization in wireless sensor networks depends on distributed algorithms running on a large number of wireless nodes with reduced energy, processing and memory resources. Prerequisite for the estimation of unique nodes locations is rigid network graph. To satisfy this prerequisite network graph needs to be well connected. On the other hand, execution of distributed algorithm in the graphs...
ICT technology on primary care sector can significantly improve the level of health care and consequently reduce its costs. Some initial results are shown in this paper obtained from the pilot study in the region of Ljubljana, Community Health Centre (CHC). ECG body sensors have been made available to several volunteers with potential disturbances in the heart rhythm in order to reach evidence based...
Long-term electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings can be beneficial for detection and diagnosis of heart diseases, in particular arrhythmias. A wireless multi-function biosensor that measures a potential difference between two proximal electrodes on the skin enables monitoring of vital functions, like heart rate, respiration and muscular activity. It can thus make long-term ECG measurements while users...
Internet of things (furthermore IoT) by definition refers to a networked interconnection of devices in everyday use that are often equipped with ubiquitous intelligence. It is based on processing of large quantities of data in order to provide useful information/service and enables an efficient regulatory policy in the area of IoT. One of the key challenges for the realization of the IoT includes...
Since the delivery of the first A320 airliner with a Fly-by-Wire Flight Control System (FCS) in 1988, aircraft avionics architecture evolved significantly. Federated Architecture applied in the A320 family of aircraft presumed one computer per function. Limits regarding weight and space availability were reached and new generation of aircraft designed in early 2000s were equipped with Distributed...
Recent studies have shown that road surface monitoring is essential for the municipal corporations as well as for travelers for choosing the best road possible. Such schemes provide the comfort and security to the vehicle travelers. This paper presents a vibration based approach for automatic detection of potholes and speed breakers along with their co-ordinates. In this approach, a database is maintained...
Discrete-event systems (DESs) are a wide range of models used primarily to deal with complex technological objects, e.g. communication networks and computer systems. To regulate DES behavior, Ramadge-Wonham supervisory control theory is often used. As usual, only a part of DES's event set is available for supervisor to obtain control pattern. However, sometimes information about the system state is...
