In the traditional agri-food supply chain in Bangladesh, the farmers need to hinge on the intermediaries for selling their products as there is a limitation of communicative medium between producers and consumers. Also, the fair pricing of agri-food products and transparency are significant issues in the traditional supply chain system. In this paper, we propose a conceptual blockchain-based agri-food supply chain model for Bangladesh where the farmers can communicate with consumers and sell products directly without any inter-agency. This model helps to incorporate transparency in the agri-food supply chain and fair pricing of the agri-food products between producers and consumers.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"489 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123158093","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}

One significant factor influencing a customer's ability, and possibly their subsequent desire, to engage is the technical ability required to access such services. In our prior work, we have characterized online Internet consumers using customer classification guides which are not specific to the technical world; each guide characterizes customers according to categories influenced primarily by the type of home within which they live. The goal of the guides is to pre-empt purchasing behaviors. However, when considering the purchase of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) from an Internet Service Provider (ISP), we argue that considering this behavior on the basis of a household location and household characteristic may limit the overall suitability of the SLA which has been proposed - household savings, for example, may be high while technical ability low, leading to a mismatch in the service a customer needs. We therefore seek to remove household type as an influential attribute from the online customer characterization process, and instead focus on three customer qualities which are specific to the technologies used to access the Internet and a customer's technical competence. The overall contribution of this work is a model which can classify Internet users such that services can be offered without significant resource over- or under-provisioning, and the associated financial costs which such scenarios bring.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124871118","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}

This paper proposed the indoor positioning method that only uses data from human sensors which are commercially available. Concretely, our method realize indoor positioning considering the following conditions: (i) whether the estimated point is inside or outside of the detection range of each sensor; (ii) for the time when the sensor data changes from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, the estimated point is near the limit of detection range of the sensor; and (iii) when the worker is moving at a constant speed, the moving distance of the worker is proportional to the number of sensor data acquired.

However, the collection, storage, and sharing of data from the plethora of sensor networks in a typical smart city deployment warrants a well-defined data platform architecture. In this paper, we propose a multi layer architecture compliant with the oneM2M standards and the Indian Urban Data Exchange (IUDX) framework. The proposed architecture consists of Data Monitoring (DML), Data Storage (DSL), and Data Exchange (DEL) layers. The DML employs oneM2M as the middleware platform to achieve interoperability. The DSL uses a multi-tenant architecture with multiple logical databases, enabling efficient and reliable data management. The DEL utilizes standard data schemas and open APIs of IUDX to avoid data silos, and enables secure data sharing. Further, we present a proof-of-concept implementation of our architecture deployed in a university campus using OM2M, PostgreSQL, and Django. Finally, simulations mimicking real-time data insertion and retrieval showed that the DML can handle 600 concurrent users with an average latency under 100 milli seconds. The DSL improved the latency compared to a single database architecture and the DEL could handle 100 concurrent users with zero failed requests.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123757605","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}

Reliable wireless communications can be challenging in industrial environments, where the communications signal is often blocked due to the presence of industrial machinery, with possible intermittent and/or unpredictable blockages. This paper evaluates the coverage characteristics of a low-cost sustainable IoT deployment to monitor an industrial facility dedicated to the design and assembly of automation systems for the food industry. For this purpose, a measurement campaign has been carried out at different points of the industrial site using the aforementioned IoT system. The results show that the system is able to provide enough coverage around the whole area, with a reduced number of outages. Substantial differences in terms of received power and outages are observed when comparing the measurements in a totally empty area and an area with machinery and workers. Finally, the received power measurements have been fitted to a simplified pathloss model, showing a pathloss exponent value consistent with previously reported values for industrial environments.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"1004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120876877","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}

There-fore, organizations can evaluate the trustworthiness or risks of the devices based on collected requests to adapt the access privileges. However, existing schemes usually do not address organizational authorization processes and may not be suitable for enterprise file systems. In light of this, this study proposes an Evolutionary Risk Adaptive Access Control (ERAAC) Framework for enterprise file systems. The proposed framework provides an extensible architecture for an organization to deploy different access control filters for different perspectives. An access control filter can filter out access requests based on access control policies. An organization can add a new access control filter without replacing its existing access control mechanism. In addition, the proposed framework enables organizations to define new risk labels for data entities, such as subjects and objects to be accessed, used in access control policies. The access control mechanism can adapt user privileges based on the risk labels. Even if organizations do not have enough data to generate risk labels, the organizations can set access control policies without risk labels. Therefore, the proposed framework enables organizations to progressively improve their access control mechanisms. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed framework is the first access control framework that can evolve with organizational maturity in risk management. This study also illustrates how the proposed framework satisfied the related tenets mentioned in NIST SP 800–207. Consequently, this study can hopefully contribute to helping an organization to implement zero trust architecture.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126919772","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}

In order to reduce the computation time, we also propose a method to compute the polling schedule by splitting the integer linear programming problem into smaller problems.

It is natural to imagine a world that moves to USB-C direct current outlets in the buildings and even a separate DC backplane throughout the buildings. The USB PD provides more versatile functions enabling the control of “things” regarding power than just supplying power. In this paper, we discuss a configuration method of a USB-C PD based microgrid by networking the units called “Virtual Grid Hubs (VG-Hub),” where the USB-C ports on the wall do not only supply power but also receive power input. A VG-Hub is a device with a fixed number of USB-C ports to collect and distribute power. Distributed batteries absorb surplus power from the utility grid and decrease power demands by distributing the stored power to USB devices connected to the microgrid when a power shortage in the utility grid. We formalize the VG-Hub network topology design problem. The optimum regular graphs for the performance indices are enumerated and shown to be practical in terms of total power storage capacity and power flow by using the commercially available portable chargers.","PeriodicalId":176605,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 8th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128988254","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}

Further, we exploit Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to determine the optimal path for the mobile sink to follow. To reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes, we appoint Collection Agents (CA) to transmit data directly to the mobile sink when the sensor node comes within transmission range.
