Conference proceedings front matter may contain various advertisements, welcome messages, committee or program information, and other miscellaneous conference information. This may in some cases also include the cover art, table of contents, copyright statements, title-page or half title-pages, blank pages, venue maps or other general information relating to the conference that was part of the original...
Wi-Fi and Cellular are the leading technologies in IoT revolution and Machine Type Communication is going to increase by 2020 due to revolution of technology and smart connected world. Most of the IoT application will not require high throughput, hence dual band wireless stations and softAP solutions are more suitable for IoT platforms.
Smart textile and wearable technologies will form an integral part of Internet of Things ecologies, including those implemented in mental health service environments. Smart textiles were developed and provided to users who were asked to discuss their feelings whilst holding/interacting with a smart textile during a walk. In the study discussed, respondents spoke aloud while using prototype handheld...
The conception of a fully automated astronomical observatory for remote operation fulfils the needs of observation in difficult accessibility conditions at remote locations. The use of open source hardware and software components enables the implementation of a low cost design. The current availability of technologic instrumentation allows the possibility for low-budget astronomical research groups...
Changes in the world's weather due to human activities have already shown its negative impact on agriculture, food production, carbon neutrality initiatives and the environment. In order to support Costa Rica's commitment to becoming the first carbon neutral country by 2021, a local group of multidisciplinary researchers have proposed, developed and tested a general system with Internet of Things...
This paper demonstrates the development of a low cost thermal imaging camera as an alternative to the commercial models. This device consists on a long wave infrared sensor which captures the infrared reflection from the physical objects. Thermal imaging camera technology has provided relevant developments for security systems, being used in surveillance activities such as law-enforcement, home intrusion...
The appearance of the Internet of Things topic has a huge impact on several research fields including human activity recognition (HAR) where wearable sensors provide the raw information about the physical activity and functional ability of an observed person. Previous studies have shown that HAR can be seen as a general machine learning problem with a particular data pre-processing stage. In the last...
The IoT is innovative and important phenomenon prone to several services and applications, but it should consider the legal issues related to the data protection law. However, should be taken into account the legal issues related to the data protection and privacy law. Technological solutions are welcome, but it is necessary, before developing applications, to consider the risks which we cannot dismiss...
Today smart devices such as smartphones, smartwatches and activity trackers are widely available and accepted in most developed societies. These devices present a broad set of sensors capable of extracting detailed information about different situations of daily life, which, if used for good, have the potential to improve the quality of life not only for individuals but also for the society in general...
Internet of Things (IoT) describes a world where everyday objects are always connected to the Internet, allowing them to communicate and interact with each other. By connecting these everyday objects to the Internet and making them available everywhere at any time, IoT allows to remotely monitor, manage, and gather status information about them and their surrounding environment. IoT is a revolutionary...
LoRa is an emerging wireless standard specifically designed for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It provides long range, low data rate, and energy efficient wireless communication and is believed to have high potential for realization of a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Various research papers have already reported on the performance analysis of LoRaWAN protocol in terms...
