The technological advance as well as needs of human beings made that systems became more and more complex. In contrast, the use and creation of new modelling languages became simple and no more reserved for a handful of language experts. Consequently, many new practices of systems implementation emerged, among them, the use of different domain…

Plants are living organisms that can hear and recognize the environment around them but cannot communicate to inform their needs. Thus, in the past, humans thought that it was impossible to communicate with plants. However, in this modern era, humans can be able to communicate with these plants. In this paper, we propose a model…

With the advancement in the field of Internet-of-Things (IoT), event monitoring applications have rapidly evolved from a simple event data acquisition towards predictive event analytics involving multi-sensory data aggregation in a distributed environment. Existing event monitoring schemes are mainly relying on ine_cient centralized processing mechanism, which may lead to the common single-point of failure for…

The purpose of this paper is to improve the thermographic method for detection the places of heat energy losses on the urban underground thermal pipelines using the computer system. This goal was achieved by building a heat map of the surveyed heating main with data layering directly on a computer map of the area, which…

The telecommunications industry continues to move forward with plans for 5G service with rates including 6Gb/s followed by upgrade paths promising 20Gb/s. Despite advances in wireless technology associated with 5G roll-outs, there remains the problem of providing sufficient backhaul throughput and efficient handling of hand-off services within the relatively small projected cell boundaries that can…

Cloud computing recently emerged as an interesting model that enables computing and other related internet activities to take place anywhere, anytime. Cloud service providers centralize all servers, networks, and applications to allow their users’ access at any time and from any location. Cloud computing uses already existing resources like server, CPU and storage memory but…

Nowadays over speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Generally, over speeding is the result of restless and bad behavior of drivers. As the accident rates are increasing it is important to develop and implement a system which can automatically detect and report over speeding to the traffic control authorities as early as…

Cloud computing is an exceptional paradigm, which is facilitating the developments and utilization of resources over the internet. Fog computing operates at the edge of the network saving bandwidth, by not sending all information to the cloud, while edge computing does processing of data at the edge of the cloud. Edge computing reduces the distance…

In advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) of smart grid, WiFi is an appropriate choice for its bidirectional communication requirement to transmit data to the billing center. But, WiFi functions in the free spectrum bands and LTE also requires to use the same free bands for its network expansion being licensed spectrum is limited and expansive. LTE…

Relation Extraction is an important subtask of Information Extraction that involves extracting significant facts from natural language text. Extracting structured information from the plaintext is the ultimate goal of IE systems. The Indian language content on the internet is increasing day to day. Extracting relevant information from this huge unstructured data is a challenging task…

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and asthma continue to increase in the general public within the modern era. With careful observation of the symptoms potential diseases may be detected early and managed properly. For that to happen, the awareness of the symptoms and proper knowledge about the diseases may be needed for…

Just as electricity has an essential role in our lives, the internet network and especially web services have become of vital importance nowadays. Without security service layers, apparently small things like checking a child’s school schedule on web may turn the daily routine into a nightmare. Web services users are still required to use many…

This paper investigates the electronic book production and distribution practices adopted by the Publishers in Southeast Nigeria because of the global growing interest in writing new book titles in digital form as well as converting paper titles to digital content. To investigate this study, the researcher formulated three research questions to guide the study. A…

The idea of monitoring several types of parameters in various environments has been motivating significant research works in Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents the design and construction of iSensA, a system for integrating and collecting information from sensors. The solution implements a multi-sensor monitoring system and then expands the monitoring concept to an…

In the world today, the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the application of the Connected Vehicle Cloud (CVC) as the Internet of Things in the intelligent transportation are becoming widespread. They can improve people’s safety, vehicle security as well as reduce the cost of ownership of an automobile. At the same…

This article discusses IoT security in situations whereby devices do not share the same security domains, which raises security, privacy and safety concerns. It then presents an Access Control and Privacy infrastructure for addressing these concerns in the context of distributed environments. IoT deployments allow billions of connected physical devices to collect, process and share…

With the increasing need for effective storage management due to ever-growing content-generation over the Internet, Distributed Storage Systems (DSS) has arisen as a valuable tool. Although DSS has considerably improved in the past years, it still leverages legacy techniques in its networking. To cope with the demanding requirements, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has revolutionized the…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept that has a great appeal for researchers, businesses and the ordinary tech user. It presents new possibilities of connection between devices and people and it stimulates our need and desire to interact, to exchange ideas and to communicate with the surrounding environment. This paper briefly explores…

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), a typical use case of the Internet of Things, has been a great prospect for development in the near future.
