In recent years, the research about energy waste and CO2 emission reduction has gained a strong momentum, also pushed by European and national funding initiatives. The main purpose of this large effort is to reduce the effects of greenhouse emission, climate change to head for a sustainable society. In this scenario, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a key role. From one side,...
We live in the post-informational era. Nowadays technologies transform many segments of human life. The Internet of things is becoming one of the most important information technologies that can change and has already changed the lives of people around the world. Under the Internet of Things (IoT) is understood the concept of a computer network that unites the most diverse devices, between which interaction...
High quality requirements are set for automated production systems (aPS) as malfunctions can harm humans or cause severe financial loss. These malfunctions can be caused by faults in the control software of the aPS or its inability to correctly identify and handle unintended situations and errors in the technical process or hardware behavior. To achieve more dependable control software, software testing...
the river discharge measurement is one of the basic projects of hygrometry; it determines the water resource utilization. However, a substantial increase in the number of hydrological site, especially for the unmanned hydrometric station brought great difficulty and caused the more workload for the Hydrologists every year. With the development of sensor technology and the data acquisition and fusion...
There are many software-based tools that can be used to evaluate the radio-ecological impacts. Plume Gaussian is a simple dispersion model, easy to be implemented and developed further. This paper describes the application of Plume Gaussian model to simulate the dispersion of I-131 released around the Serpong Nuclear Area (Kawasan Nuklir Serpong, KNS). The software development consists: mathematical...
Due to the high cost and high power consumption problem of the present smart home server, we designed and implemented a home server based on embedded system, mainly developed by ARM11 for a hardware platform, Linux system for operating system, SQLite database and BOA server for a software platform. The home server has successfully implemented the network communication, SQLite database peration and...
To address issues such as increasing number of broadcasting satellite transponders, signal systems becoming increasingly complex and higher requirements on spectrum monitoring in respect of real-time and all-weather coverage are required, this paper introduces a spectrum monitoring equipment based on a high-performance ARM microprocessor platform, as well as the design and implementation of a new...
The proposed system is a self-balancing system based on STM32F103 using Cortex-M3 core. Firstly, MPU6050 and hall encoder are utilized to measure angle and speed respectively. These sensors can meet the requirement of real time. Then, digital filtering algorithm and kalman algorithm are adopted to process the digital singal. Finally, the stepping motor is used to drive the whole system. The experimental...

This wearable system was developed as a main platform for a large class of applications in fields like: biomedical, medical, entertainment, military, automotive, consumer field etc. In the proposed system, the head position and...
The innovative application of 5G core technologies, namely Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), can help reduce capital and operational expenditures in industrial networks. Nevertheless, SDN expands the attack surface of the communication infrastructure, thus necessitating the introduction of additional security mechanisms. A wind park is a good example of an...
This paper represents possible approaches to cyber security assurance for implementation the configuration process of Field Programmable Gates Array (FPGA) based platform for safety critical applications. It also contains results of conducted analysis for secure configuration process in existing platforms, similar in terms of functionality, but based on different technologies. Protection concepts...
Several approaches to protect data and code, and ensure execution in a secure environment without getting infected from malwares, such as isolation, sandboxing, trust-based execution, application oriented access control have been proposed. In recent times, hardware-based solutions like ARM TrustZone and Intel SGX Enclave have been introduced to protect code and data from being infected or modified...
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...
In tourism industry, a challenge is how to handle emergency situations during a journey. Although most of the tourism travel agencies focus on generating travel plans, an important part that has been ignored is to provide a creative emergency travel plan when a user meets an unforeseen situation during the journey. Thus, in order to address problems like this, the study to build a system that can...
For runtime verification techniques, the most important part that limits its usage is how to reduce the influence of monitors. An important indicator is the amount of software codes after monitor instrumentation. The application of RV is hindered from the size-explosion problem of monitor construction. Namely, the state number of the monitor obtained is doubly exponential in the size of the input...
Software-Defined Networks (SDN) are constantly evolving and so is their software. One of the key advantages of SDN over traditional networks is the ability to rapidly develop and deploy new features. However, updating them often requires restarting the SDN controller and causes network downtime. In addition to such planned updates, unforeseen, accidental downtime is also a risk for SDN networks. While...
eHealth technology can bring a variety of benefits to patients, caregivers, and health institutions, by facilitating improved healthcare services through the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The forthcoming generation of healthcare services will require advances in computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to leverage truly intelligent and adaptive features...
The design shift proposed by OpenFlow, with its simple stateless dataplane, initially contributed to the success of Software-Defined Networks. Its lack of state, however, prevents the implementation of many dataplane algorithms. Network applications must therefore offload stateful operations to the control plane, thereby increasing latency and limiting network scalability. Thus, recent research efforts...
Developing a virtualized network service does not only involve the implementation and configuration of the network functions it is composed of but also its integration and test with management solutions that will control the service in its production environment. These integration tasks require testbeds that offer the needed network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI), like OpenStack, introducing...
Two emerging architectural paradigms, i.e., Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), enable the deployment and management of Service Function Chains (SFCs). A SFC is an ordered sequence of abstract Service Functions (SFs), e.g., firewalls, VPN-gateways, traffic monitors, that packets have to traverse in the route from source to destination. While this appealing...
