Efficient data collection and dissemination play a significant role in IoT applications since IoT devices are usually resource constrained. Multicasting service is a solution to provide better performance with lower resource consumption in such applications. However, sensors and devices are scattered geographically across vast areas and form partitioned networks due to the absence of end-to-end network...
In this paper, we review the main middleware re-quirements applied to Internet of Things and High-Performance Computing combined, here called IoT/HPC. The goal was to describe a unique set of requirements that middleware systems should attempt to guarantee the development of integrated applications. Among many core complex services, the IoT/HPC challenges are related to the support of sensing, actuating,...
Smart city has been advanced much from the conceptual model to the actual construction stage. This paper takes Nanhai as an example to demonstrate how to manage the resources of IoT as a whole and plan the top-level design of IoT development and smart city. After analysis of Nanhai IoT status, a general framework of Nanhai IoT development is proposed as the top-level design using five architectures...
An on-chip DC-DC converter for energy harvesting is proposed for a new battery-less solar cell tag applied to the Internet of Things (IoTs) devices. The main purpose of this design is to maximize the transfer efficiency and to stably provide a high enough supply voltage to the back-end loads. The overall circuit consists of a crosscoupled charge pump, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit,...
In 2015, Zheng & Carter warned that the Internet of Things (IoT) would have an exponential deployment in all types of industry in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. In the military sphere, it has not been different. The Ecuadorian Armed Forces are trying to equip their soldiers with IoT Technology to monitor and visualize in real time the state of health during...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming important in many areas that include health, entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, home and building automation, industrial, etc. Will it be important for education and more specifically for teaching and learning? If so, what engineering subjects would benefit the most and how effective could the IoT be for teaching and learning? Can IoT technologies and...
This article presents a real-time control system for an experimental model of a water distribution system. The hardware and software implementation follows the latest trends in IoT and proves that such an architecture can be used for real-time process control in distributed systems. The control of flow is implemented using a multiple-model control algorithm for the pumping station. A method which...
The Internet of Things promises tremendous benefits in our everyday life where healthcare is one of the application areas in which IoT has also paved its way for the development of human assistance technologies. With smart sensing and remote monitoring, peoples' health conditions can be assessed more effectively but to provide IoT services such as depressive disorder assistance still, there are many...
Most of IoT applications include large number of distributed sensors which are interesting in specific geographical area. A large number of IoT entities have multiple relations and dynamic connections with each other. And there are many group communication requirements. Flexible multicast mechanism will be essential in such environments but it is difficult to satisfy verious requirements by means...
This paper deals with the Internet of Things solutions and value chain related to the Smart City domain. Characterization of the IoT services and applications including connectivity requirements is proposed and illustrated with two case studies, on smart parking and air quality monitoring based on urban crowd sensing. Regulatory issues, as well as the role of the national regulatory authority for...
This paper presents the use of a new concept: Internet of Things (IoT), applied to the fermentation process of Cocoa at the Piura's mountain range. A prototype was designed and built with sensors that record the variables of temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process and send this information to the Internet. Finally a system has been developed that receives this information, visualizes...
Industrial IoT networks are typically used for monitoring systems and supporting control loops, as well as for movement detection systems, process control and factory automation. To this end, data generated by monitoring IoT devices are collected, elaborated and sent to controllers and actuators. The routing of data from IoT sensors to actuators is an integral part of any large-scale industrial network...
In a cyber-physical system (CPS), the events start or finish in a sequence of time. The sequence can be called chronological order. Chronological order relationship is essential in determining system status and providing decision reference in feedback control related to IoT areas. However, the correctness of the order obtained is vulnerable to many factors. This paper delves into typical events in...
The resource constraint is one of the top issues in the Internet of Things network. All activity in the network node should be carefully designed and managed to support the resource efficiency of the network. Hence, an energy efficient transceiver like ZigBee is popularly used as the infrastructure for the Internet of Things edge network. This paper presents our method for efficient ZigBee router...
