I discuss why participation of stakeholders in the design of such technology is essential, but also needs to evolve to recognise its political dimension. Possible pathways for such a re-politicising of participation in design are discussed with concepts of Agonistic Design, Critical Design and Design in Use. Alongside these methodological concerns, I argue, it is necessary to also rethink our underlying theoretical understanding of the relationship between humans and technology. To reflect the intimate entanglement, I propose to look at post-humanist theories and new materialism. The goal of this position paper is to provoke discussion and critical reflection.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130029401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IoT can facilitate novel solutions for a classic problem, which is the real-time tracking of patients and staff. In this work, an architecture for real-time tracking using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and iBeacons in hospitals is proposed. The proposed system is to locate not only humans but also other facilities such as medicines. It consists of four different frameworks: server communication, user interaction, cross-platform communication and indoor localization. A wearable BLE-enabled device or any smartphone can be used in our system. The first stage of the tracking system is setting up and calibrating the BLE iBeacons for initialization. Then the Received Signal Strength is collected from the BLE-enabled devices carried by users. These data are analyzed and calculated using our improved Least Square Estimation approach to estimate the actual location of users. Experimental results show that in a crowded environment, our tracking system achieves resolutions of the order of 12cm. This will be further integrated with other sensors such as accelerometer or heart rate monitor to improve the real-time healthcare monitoring experience.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126092782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considerable level of operational flexibility can be attained through virtualization of the basic three network functions. These are namely the ‘Leaf node’, ‘Router’ and ‘IoT Gateway’ functions with their network topology implementation and flexible manipulation through dynamic software control. Such sensor network deployments can significantly benefit from adoption of an Industry 4.0-based framework wherein the IT layer equipped with the necessary software control, intelligence and virtualization capabilities can play significant role in supporting the process of dynamic re-orchestration of the OT layer. The objective of this paper is to investigate the ability of the sensor network virtual environment to re-orchestrate at the node-functional as well as the overall network operational levels. This in effect helps in exploring dynamic performance issues using the virtualized network before re-orchestrating the physical network.

The symbIoTe approach offers mediation services for search and controlled access to IoT resources (sensors, actuators, and related services) across platforms in a uniform way. It provides an IoT Portal with registration and search capabilities using semantic web technologies for semantic interoperability, and an abstraction layer for unified and secure access to those resources across distributed IoT platform instances for syntactic interoperability. In this paper, we present the general concepts and design decisions built into the symbIoTe open source middleware and showcase the evolving symbIoTe ecosystem which facilitates the rapid development of innovative cross-platform IoT applications.

The concept is that small differences in the material and the composition of the electronic circuits of the wireless devices produce specific features in the Radio Frequency (RF) signal transmitted over the air. While these differences are usually not relevant to obstacle the correct functioning of wireless services, they are significant enough to uniquely identify the model or the electronic device itself once they are collected and processed by a RF receiver. Researchers have applied a variety of techniques to extract the features from the signal in space including statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. In ideal conditions, the classification accuracy presented in the research literature is often higher than 95% but it can degrade significantly in the presence of non Line of Sight conditions. The research community has investigated the impact of low Signal to Noise (SNR) ratios or fading effects on the classification performance, but the disturbances introduced by the RF receiver itself have received little attention. In this paper, we investigate the impact of IQ imbalances of the RF receiver on the classification performance, which has not been attempted in the literature, yet.

The concept of physical layer authentication is to identify wireless devices from their RF emissions, which contain specific features (also called RF fingerprints) of the transmitter chain in the wireless device.

The research community has investigated the impact of low Signal to Noise (SNR) ratios or fading effects on the classification performance, but the disturbances introduced by the presence of wireless interference has received little attention, even if this can be a common problem in unlicensed bands, where many different wireless standards could coexist. To address this gap, this paper presents an evaluation of emitter identification of IoT devices transmitting in unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands and in presence of wireless interference. We perform the classification using a Deep Learning approach based on stacked CNNs with different representations of the signal in the time, frequency and time-frequency domains. The result shows that the choice of the representation is quite significant to obtain a superior classification performance and that the best results are obtained using a representation based on the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT).","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131862423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because these IoT devices usually have only limited processing and communication capabilities, an efficient communication protocol is required to reduce the protocol overhead. The Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol provides such properties. MQTT is a publish/subscribe protocol, where each client can subscribe to a message topic in order to receive all messages published under that topic. The payload of a message (i.e., the content) can be encrypted to hide private information. However, to forward messages, the topic of a message needs to be read by the broker and thus cannot be encrypted and might reveal private information. This paper presents methods to avoid this problem. It features and evaluates a one-time password approach to provide a fully obfuscated communication method for MQTT topics. Thereby, the user tracking and the generation of profiles is prevented.","PeriodicalId":149504,"journal":{"name":"2019 Global IoT Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114785596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
