However, above all, crop disease is the crucial factor and causes 20–30% reduction of the productivity in case of its infection. Thus, the disease of the crop is much more important factor affecting the productivity of the crops. Therefore, the farmer concentrates on the cause of the disease in the crops during its growth, but it is not easy to recognize the disease on the spot. Until now, they just relied on the opinion of the experts or their own experiences when the disease is doubtful. However, it triggers a decrease in productivity as no taking appropriate action and time. In this paper, to address this problem we provide the mechanism, which dynamically analyses the images of the disease. The analysis result is immediately sent to the farmer required the decision and then feedback from the farmer is reflected to the model. The mechanism performs the diagnosing of the disease, especially for the strawberry fruits and leaves, with data set of images using deep learning. Thus, it encourages increasing of the productivity through the fast recognition of disease and the consequent action.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129197476","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}

Outage performance of FSO cooperative system is analyzed by deriving the closed-form expressions, where atmospheric turbulence was defined by a generalized α -μ statistical model. Moreover, results on the bit error rate (BER) performance over various distributions are obtained. In addition, it is shown that the BER over Rayleigh fading outperforms the ones over Weibull and Nakagami fading channels when a two-relay FSO system is taken into consideration. Finally, it is presented that the BER with the detect-and-forward mode has better performance in contrast to the BER with amplify-and-forward mode when three and four hop scenarios are considered.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131782143","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 aims to propose a simple design for improving the tanh-like passive resistive-type neuron by introducing memristor. Minimal leakage current and small on-chip area, low power consumption and non-volatile memory are the features that make the memristor promising and powerful tool in circuit design. However since memristive devices are not capable to supply energy to a circuit, they should be coupled with conventional CMOS devices, thus forming hybrid circuit configurations. In the frame of this study, we examine the previously proposed circuit for passive neuron. The elements are replaced by memristor to produce tanh activation function. The most efficient circuit configuration in terms performance metrics is to be determined. Our design proves that replacing CMOS device by memristor element improves the circuit performance by reducing the total power, area of the chip and THD level.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131933214","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 primary goal in image sensors design is to maintain small pixel size and high sensitivity at low light illumination. Existing image sensors with mixed log-linear output characteristics, produce linear output at dark conditions whereas high-intensity zones provide the capability of logarithmic response. However, the change in the light intensity is not easy to be detected considering the alternation in time and the number of pixels to work with. Besides, the recording of the variation should be made when pixel changes due to its previous history. As a result, in order to track and simultaneously notify about the changes in the behavior, a memory device called memristor, also known as a time-varying resistor, should be implemented. This paper propounds an original design of CMOS vision sensor based on the five-transistor (5T) active pixel sensor (APS) and memristorintegrated APS with a lin-log response.

This paper presents an overview of technologies and techniques to realize such an IoT platform. The focus is on the platform that unifies edge and cloud computing. The paper refers to Mainflux as such reference example. Mainflux serves as a software infrastructure, that is built around the microservices architectural style, for development of IoT solutions, and deployment of intelligent products. It is conceived as an opensource project, and is already used in production settings. Therefore, the paper describes a real product, whose chosen set of methods, technologies and techniques are feasible and effective in crafting IoT systems.
