Performance monitoring and control of IoT devices and services are vital functions for e-health systems. Cloud-based IoT systems with centralized data centers further underline the need for distributed management. The main contribution of this paper is a model and prototype...
The remote monitoring and control of machines are essential in industrial environments. Emerging communication technologies such as Web of Things and Machine to Machine Communication can meet this demand for automation in Industry 4.0. This paper aims to introduce a solution for continuous and remote monitoring of electrical quantities in smart industrial environments with three-phase systems. The...
Internet of Things (IoT) can be perceived as enabling user-specific interoperable communication services by integration of sensing and actuation technologies with other leading technologies, such as telecommunication, networking, security and cloud computing etc. Application of the ubiquitous IoT technologies to augment healthcare systems inadvertently exposes the latter to unpredictable, disruptive...
With the advent of Internet and computational era, not only opportunity to send and receive data between humans, but also among the devices without human control over it. This is known as Internet of Things (IoTs) concept which can be applied for solving the growing issue of power/energy management. A solution is a cheap and easy to implement and manage energy monitoring system for our daily usage...
Wireless sensor network is one of the effective tools for data gathering in a variety of environments which has a lot of challenges. Controlling the congestion is one of the challenges that primarily depends on the way the large number of sensors in a network are organized and controlled. A group of nodes is called a cluster which sends information to the gateway through the cluster head. This structure...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) represents one of the most promising Internet of Things (IoT) applications due to its influence on the quality of life and health of the elderly people. However, the interoperability is one of the major issues that needs to be addressed to promote the adoption of AAL solutions in real environments. In this paper, an IoT prototype system for AAL called AAL-IoTSys is proposed,...
Demand for monitoring systems for gas facilities has dramatically increased with the technological development of the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we propose two sets of gateway and sensor nodes for monitoring gas facilities. They improve the efficiency of comprehensive management, including collecting sensing data and controlling gas-related risk factors, at remote gas facility sites...
In the field of wireless industrial automation networks (WIANs), the WirelessHART and ISA100.11a protocols are promoted, which support time division and carriersensing multiple access schemes, channel hopping schemes, and mesh network topology to improve reliability and scalability. However, they work on the 2.4-GHz non-licensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band. This band has...
Virtualization enables the sharing of a same wireless sensor network (WSN) by multiple applications. However, in heterogeneous environments, virtualized wireless sensor networks (VWSN) raise new challenges such as the need for on-the-fly, dynamic, elastic, and scalable provisioning of gateways. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging paradigm that can certainly aid in tackling these...
