Zero Trust Architecture offers a transformative approach to network security by emphasizing ”never trust, always verify.” IoT devices, while increasingly integral to modern ecosystems, pose unique challenges for identity management and access control due to their constrained processing power, memory, and energy capabilities. In a Zero Trust framework, every IoT device is treated as a…

The main objective of the project is to provide a facility to implement the…

In Senegal, agriculture has always been seen as the foundation on which the socioeconomic development of the country rests. However, in the rural world, agriculture remains traditional at a time when the challenges of food self-sufficiency to accompany emergence are launched. In the southern part of Senegal commonly called Casamance, the abundance of rain makes…

This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost basket based on an ARM system on chip architecture using Raspberry Pi single board computer. The inspiration of this research is how to support the traditional low-income retail store in Thailand driving the local micro-business deal with the economic impacts of survival business from the…

As mobile robots or Automated Guided Vehicles age, and their navigation components wear down, downtime may increase, and therefore robots may lose their path planning capabilities. In such blind-navigation scenarios, we assume robot(s) is programmed to undergo a default random-walk locomotion in a two-dimensional confined workspace with spatially populated obstacles. The robot(s) has only one…

Multi-Robot System (MRS) is a complex system that contains many different software and hardware components. This main problem addressed in this article is the MRS design complexity. The proposed solution provides a modular modeling and simulation technique that is based on formal system engineering method, therefore the MRS design complexity is decomposed and reduced. Modeling…

PT XYZ has an Enterprise Resource Planning application that is used by the Planning Department to view stocks and plan production materials. Currently calculation of production materials takes more than 30 seconds just to export to Excel then a few minutes to adjust the data format to the planning form and the data used is…

Worldwide, the epidemiological situation is constantly changing and with the exponential increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, the number of health care workers has decreased significantly and this is due to the direct and daily contact of patients. One of the major challenges of the last few months is to prevent the spread…

Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) is a solution for investors in determining the best energy-saving strategy for buildings. But on the other hand, investors need a fast and reliable evaluation results in measuring how effective the savings methods they use without wasting money. To address this issue, we selected Facebook’s latest predictive time series method…

The ever-growing technology in mobile smartphones has enabled users to store sensitive and private information; as a result, it required the need for an improved security system. Previous approaches heavily relied on shallow machine learning algorithms that require feature extraction which is time consuming, laborious and can cause, resulting in poor authentication. In this paper,…

This article is a continuation of the work presented in the Third World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems Security and Sustainability (WorldS4). In this version we focus on matching IT and business processes from different management levels by using IT-Governance (ITG) Risk and Compliance frameworks in a smart way. In fact, every information system…

A real-time embedded system requires plenty of measurements to fallow the Nyquist criteria. The hardware built for such a large number of measurements, is facing the challenges like storage and transmission rate. Practically it is very much complex to build such costly hardware. Compressive Sensing (CS) will be a future alternate technique for the Nyquist…

Several challenges like changes in brightness, dynamic background, occlusion and inconsistency of camera position make the recognition of hand gestures difficult in any vision-based method. Diversity in finger shape, size, distribution and motion dynamics is also a big constraint. This leads to the motivation in developing a dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) flow based…

The functional priority of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) is to ensure a timely transference of health data. Because of the frequency at which health records are transferred and the variety of health data HIEs receive, there are major challenges in efficiently accomplishing this. Cloud technology has become a generally accepted solution to remediate data transference…

Face recognition in low resolution images has challenges in active research because face recognition is usually implemented in high resolution images (HR). In general, research leads to a combination of pre-processing and training models. Therefore, this study aims to classify low-resolution face images using a combination of pre-processing and deep learning. In addition, this study…

This paper provides an insight about the significance of the enterprise technical architecture (ETA) in enabling and supporting the implementation of the South African National Health Insurance (NHI). Design: Existing documentations from both academic and government domains were gathered, and analyzed using the hermeneutics technique, from the perspective of interpretivist approach. Based on the analysis,…

A Software Defined Network (SDN) architecture is characterized by decoupling the data plane and control plane. This feature enables the establishment of a programmable environ- ment in which the control plane acts under the data plane, managing and configuring the network over a standard protocol, such as OpenFlow. Although there are numerous benefits to the…

eHealth is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance health quality access. Health care innovations are an essential element of Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 operational plan that will lead to an improvement in the quality of health care in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this paper is to…

Health Information Technology is playing a key role in healthcare. Specifically, the use of electronic health records has been found to bring about most significant improvements in healthcare quality, mainly as relates to patient management, healthcare delivery and research support. Health record systems adoption has been promoted in many countries to support efficient, high quality…

Spatial and temporal isolation is a crucial issue in embedded systems executing multiple tasks with several levels of criticality. This is considerably significant in the context of multi-processor (or multi-core) embedded systems running multiple mixed-criticality applications in parallel. This work deals with the issue of isolation of different application classes on Network on Chip (NoC)…

Nowadays, the realization and follow-up of a team activity takes place in different execution environments (e.g. mobile phone, PC) through the use of computer applications. This implies context changes that generate interruptions in the activity. To improve the continuity of an activity with the reduction of interruptions during the development of this activity, would help…

To be able to perform a better voting system, it is important to go to ICT and its various platforms designed for electoral purposes, which are being used in several countries in Latin America. In Ecuador are being used digital mechanisms during the process, but with certain errors and he is being considered to implement…

We have suggested an architecture of the second-order all-pass active RC-filter (ARCF), based on three differential difference amplifiers (DDA’s), which provides full set of amplitude-frequency responses (AFR’s) (low pass filter (LPF), high pass filter (HPF), band pass filter (BPF), rejection filter (RF)). We have given the basic equations, which allow ARCF’s. The results of computer…
