This paper proposes low-cost saline droplet measurement system (SDMS). The system can be used to check saline droplet of patients in each patient's bed in rural public hospital. By installing the measuring modules in all patients' beds, the system will show saline droplet status of each patient. So, nurses can accurately check saline droplet status of their patients on a computer including saline...
Wireless sensor network is one of the most promising technology in wireless network. To design a sensor network, improving the lifetime of sensor node is critical issue. For these reason researchers in these field pay great attention to Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. As most of the nodes are placed in remote and hazardous area, so when the power is down it is difficult to recharge them or it...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) are mobile adhoc networks in which sensors have limited resources and communication capabilities. Creating pair-wise secure links between resource constrained (battery, bandwidth, large geographical area) sensor nodes is a major challenge. In this paper, Blom key management scheme is exhaustively studied on different parameter and finally a comparatively analysis is done.
The acquired images in real time scenario are mixed in most cases. The separation of these mixed images is very critical since the number of components mixed and the pattern of mixing are unknown. With these unknown parameters, BSS (Blind Source Separation) plays a vital role in separation of the image mixtures. ICA, one of the widely used techniques of BSS provides better separation by finding the...
Wireless Sensor Networks have received fabulous attention in recent years because of the growth of sensor device as well as wireless communication technologies. These networks are typically deployed in remote environment and the nodes are deployed with non-rechargeable batteries, so that the network lifetime is of crucial importance to a WSN. Cluster-Head node election in each round can severely reduce...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is still a developing technology with different aspects. It takes attention of many researchers because of its tremendous resources for internet and users. To be able to manage these resources, multiple protocols and algorithms are developed. Energy efficiency is one of the most important research areas of WSNs in the literature. For this reason, LEACH protocol and its...
In this study, we can design data aggregation using the routing protocols, Data aggregation can reduce the cost of communication in the wireless sensor network. Heavy traffic occurs when the multiple sensor nodes has detect one or more events. To Save the energy, the network should notify the event properly, only when an event occurs. Overhead occurs in InFRA because its scalability is very low. In...
A multihop wireless sensor network carrying adaptive low bit-rate video stream is to be considered. Using a novel cross-layer adaptive prioritization algorithm, denoted by CLPA, a thorough analysis of the composition of the frames being carried or dropped over the network is to be conducted. The results show how the used prioritization scheme, which favors the basic frames over the enhancement frames,...
Energy consumption was and is an interesting issue that is stills a factor in the development of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) especially in the physical and MAC layers; it is the primary metric to design a sensor node in wireless sensor network. The introduction of the Impulse Radio Ultra Wide Band (IR-UWB) Technology in the field of WSN was promising for researchers especially for its low power...
Artificial immune systems (AIS) utilize isolated mechanisms of the immune system to build specific algorithms. However, the immune system functions as a holistic system to protect the human body. In the same way, we propose to integrate independent AIS algorithms to build holistic AIS, namely unified artificial immune system (UAIS). It pushes AIS research to a higher level. We expect to see more powerful...
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are high-integration systems which integrate computing, communication and physical process. CPS achieves the perception of external environment by means of all kinds of networks and wired/wireless sensors. Also, the system implements real-time control through feedback mechanism. The basic perception features and applications about CPS are described. The main purpose of...
Robots are an ideal tool for introducing programming to young generations. To be accessible to a large public, educational robots must be affordable and easy to use. In a previous work, the authors have developed Thymio II, an educational robot costing about 100 $. Thymio II is programmable using the ASEBA framework, which provides an interactive development experience through real-time compilation...
This paper considers current paradigms in computing and outlines the most important aspects concerning their reliability. The Fog computing paradigm as a non-trivial extension of the Cloud is considered and the reliability of the networks of smart devices are discussed. Combining the reliability requirements of grid and cloud paradigms with the reliability requirements of networks of sensor and actuators...
Sensor arrays have been used in a variety of sensing and communications applications. The spatial dimension can be utilized for user separation and improved reception through the placement of multiple antenna elements at the receiver and/or the transmitter and appropriate signaling when possible. Further, the ubiquity of wireless transmitters has provided the opportunity for location-based services,...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consist of small sensor nodes which operate until their energy reserve is depleted. These nodes are generally deployed to the environments where network lifespan is much longer than the lifetime of a node. Therefore, WSN are typically operated in a multiphase fashion, as in [1–3, 9–10], which use different key pools for nodes deployed at different generations. In multiphase...
A node self-localization algorithm based on Chaos-PSO is proposed for higher precision. It improves PSO algorithm, and introduces chaos theory characterized by its randomness and ergodicity to keep the output value out of the local extreme interval. The result of simulation shows that the performance of the new algorithm is better than PSO algorithm. Compared with least squares method which is widely...
