Today, increased demand of flights and airport traffic leads to the necessity of improving the traveler's experience that many airports fail to deliver. Smart airports can improve the experience of the traveler and employee by easing and re-architecting the process and experience that they undergo. Implementing smart airports will remarkably improve operating efficiencies, passenger services, and advanced security capabilities. Hence, this paper introduces an IoT-based smart airport solution that comprises a mobile application interface and sensor network systems integrated with cloud. The system is implemented and tested that is robust, safe, and secured as compared to compared to a conventional building.","PeriodicalId":161343,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Smart Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115930805","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}

Being an example of a large-scale self-organizing systems, the IoT should present imperative properties such as autonomy and trustworthiness. However, compared to classical self-organizing systems, IoT has intrinsic characteristics (wide deployment, resource constraints, uncertain environment, etc.) that open up several security challenges. These challenges cannot be solved by existing Autonomic and Organic Computing techniques and therefore new techniques adapted to self-organizing IoT, (that we call Self-IoT) peculiarities are needed. To this end, this paper studies related work in the area of self-organizing IoT, identifies and describes the key research challenges for trustworthy secure Self-IoT and proposes new and tailored existing solutions.","PeriodicalId":161343,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Smart Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"783 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117029789","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}

The recitation has to be performed using correct rule of Tajweed in order to avoid recitation error that may leads to the mistranslation of the recited word or sentence. As the technology grown faster and so the number of Muslims, a variety of digital forms of Quran have been produced either in the form of mobile application or computer software. It is a good phenomenon as it will encourage more Muslims to recite the Quran. However, without the Tajweed knowledge, they tend to make mistakes during recitation. The traditional method of Quran Tajweed learning is based on Talaqqi and Musyafahah. This is a manual learning technique that involves face-to-face learning process between students and teacher. In order to address this issue, a Tajweed classification model based on digital speech processing technique and artificial neural network is developed as a fundamental research in this area. This study focuses on the rule of the Noon Sakinah and Tanween for the classification of Idgham with and without Ghunnah. The dataset is developed based on the Quran recitation from well-known reciters. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient is used for the feature extraction of the recitation sample. Meanwhile, the neural network is used for the Tajweed classifier. The training process of the neural network has been evaluated using three different training algorithms – Gradient Descent with Momentum, Resilient Backpropagation and Levenberg-Marquardt optimization. From the results, it can be concluded that the highest test accuracy is obtained by the Levernberg Marquardt training algorithm (77.7%) followed by the Gradient Descent with Momentum (76.7%) and Resilient Backpropagation (73.3%).","PeriodicalId":161343,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Smart Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131637462","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}

Achieving reliable and accurate results is the main objective especially while dealing with safety and critical applications, which need to be robust under challenging environments. Thus, the key solution for a better accuracy position is to integrate a new structure based on Radio Frequency sub-sampling (RFS) aiming to reduce the complexity by including only one RF front-end capable to collect multiple signals at the same time. This RFS architecture allows to digitize the received signals as close to the antenna as possible and has been found to be a useful tool in system design and prototyping. This paper presents an experimental assessment of the reconfigurable GNSS receiver based on GLONASS signals to demonstrate its operation and functionality. To carry out the measures, real-world satellite data are needed. A measurement companion on the GNSS receiver was conducted based on GLONASS signals in the G1 band which were generated by the Labsat2 equipment. To look for the visible satellites, the Parallel Code-Phase Search Acquisition algorithm was used (PCS). Acquisition results for GLONASS G1 are shown and the performance of the receiver is discussed.","PeriodicalId":161343,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Smart Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124805644","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}

The doctor’s decision-making process is facilitated by the analysis of the data he has received from the smart bracelet worn by the patient. The purpose of the application’s architecture model is to address the lack of fluent internet connection in such countries by allowing the use of SMS through the application as a communication channel, in case the user doesn’t have access to internet.

Conventionally, the progress and quality of the students were only assessed in end-of-term results, or at a few standpoints, which neglected the possibility of improving the weak areas. This shortcoming of the conventional educational system resulted in a high rejection/dropout of the potentially capable students. In this work, the authors propose adaptation of a novel content delivery, formative assessment, smart analytics and instant feedback mechanism pipelined into the educational process. The proposed model can potentially circumvent the pitfalls and significantly reduce the errors of assessment, grading, and the delivery of feedback. The proposed approach concurrently assures the quality of students at each formative step within a semester’s time, thus improving the quality of intake of the subsequent standpoint. The approach has been evaluated on one subject, Functional English, within a four year Computer Science Baccalaureate program.
