With the advent of smart devices and lowering prices of sensing devices, adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining momentum. These IoT devices come with greater threat of being attacked or compromised that could lead to Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The high volume of IoT devices with high level of heterogeneity, magnify the possibility of security threats...
This paper proposes the design of various end effectors for first aid robots. There is a growing demand for special robots that perform rescue operations on behalf of people for rescue in dangerous areas such as disasters or wars. In addition, when injuries occur, first aid treatment is also necessary. In this paper, we design user and system requirements for robots performing first aid and propose...
The evaluation of network system effectiveness is the key method to judge whether the system network architecture is stable and effective. This paper adopts the entropy method and the experience of decision makers to establish the evaluation system of the network efficiency of the intelligent distribution network monitoring service system, basing on the evaluation index of network effectiveness obtained...
The present paper allows to energy information collecting agent for IoT BigData system. Energy management system (EMS) is computer-based platform to monitor and control energy usage at a smart home and building. There are several model EMS — centralized and distributed. This paper suggested hybrid architecture of EMS for efficiently energy management.
We present an approach to tracking the behaviour of an attacker on a decoy system, where the decoy communicates with the real system only through low energy bluetooth. The result is a low-cost solution that does not interrupt the live system, while limiting potential damage. The attacker has no way to detect that they are being monitored, while their actions are being logged for further investigation...
Fraud prevention in the banking sphere is a very important type of activity which can cover a whole range of fraud schemes — both from employees and customers. The article studies the existing technologies for realization of the system of security control over functioning of POS networks in real time and analyzes them in detail. Besides, the concept of the system of monitoring and analysis of threats...
Internet-of-Things (IoT) is emerging as one of the popular technologies influencing every aspect of human life. The IoT devices equipped with sensors are changing every domain of the world to become smarter. In particular, the majorly benifited service sectors are agriculture, industries, healthcare, control & automation, retail & logistics, and power & energy. The data generated...
Recent research on Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies which provide the capability of serving massive low power devices simultaneously has been very attractive. The LoRaWAN standard is one of the most successful developments. Commercial pilots are seen in many countries around the world. However, the feasibility of large scale deployments, for example, for smart city applications need...
Scientific research is data-centric, relying on the acquisition, management, movement, analysis, and sharing of data. Proficiently managing the end-to-end lifecycle of scientific data is non-trivial and comprises many time consuming and mundane tasks. While individual tasks are not prohibitive, when done repeatedly and frequently they represent a significant strain on researchers. We posit that a...
Today, The cloud industry is adopting the container technology both for internal usage and as commercial offering. The use of containers as base technology for large-scale systems opens many challenges in the area of resource management at run-time. This paper addresses the problem of selecting the more appropriate performance metrics to activate auto-scaling actions. Specifically, we investigate...
Mobile Broadband (MBB) Networks are evolving at a fast pace, with technology enhancements that promise drastic improvements in capacity, connectivity, coverage, i.e., better performance in general. But how to measure the actual performance of a MBB solution? In this paper, we present our experience in running the simplest of the performance test: "speedtest-like" measurements to estimate...
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the population of the developed countries is rapidly ageing. Despite the perspective of a longer life is a blessing for the mankind, it also implies a growing number of elderly people who may need permanent medical monitoring and constant assistance to conduct daily activities. A viable approach to guarantee those people a good quality of life is the...
Within the UK water industry, electrical energy demand, efficiency and sustainability are primary factors when considering the construction and installation of new electrical process plant. This stems from the environmental gains made in reducing electrical power consumption, and the cost saving benefits realised across an electrical assets lifecycle. The average life of electrical assets also varies...
This paper presents a development of a handheld device for single-channel ambulatory ECG measurements. Our ECG device is designed for easy-to-use. ECG signal will be recorded for 1 minute by placing both thumbs on two dry electrodes and we have used this device to collect ECG signals from 50 volunteers. An ECG database is created from the collected ECG signals with self-annotated locations of QRS...
Manufacturing companies generate huge amounts of relevant data that, potentially, can help the decision makers to monitor and supervise the health status of the shop-floor. Many problems are present that prevent this monitoring, namely the identification of which data should be collected, how to execute this collection or how this data should be analysed and displayed to the user. This paper deals...
Proton induced SEU cross-sections of the SRAM which stores the logic configuration and certain functional blocks of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSOC are presented. Upset rates in the space radiation environment are estimated.
Total dose test results are presented for the Maxim 1257/1258 multi-channel ADC/DAC, and the Linear Technology LTC2378-20 low power SAR ADC. The paper discusses radiation testing challenges of complex mixed signal circuits.
Vroton induced SEU cross-sections of Tegra K1 mobile processor are presented. Overall upset rates of Tegra K1 in the space radiation environment are estimated.
CoAP is a web transfer protocol that provides basic RESTful services for IoT devices. Since CoAP operates on top of UDP, CoAP must support additional congestion control and reliability mechanisms. However, CoAP is originally designed to allow implementations that do not maintain any end-to-end connection information. Thus, the default congestion control mechanisms are not capable of adapting to network...
Electrocardiography (ECG) devices are considered essential medical tools for detecting and preventing cardiovascular diseases. These devices are used to obtain information about the structure and function of the human heart. Given the various medical uses of the information from ECG devices, it is essential that these devices provide accurate information about the heart in a precise manner. Although...
