The analysis and understanding of these types of graphs, namely Weight Evolving Temporal (WET) graphs, is critical for optimizing task allocation in such crowdsensing platforms. In this paper, we formally define WET graphs and their corresponding routing problem, in which the objective of the routing is to maximize the reward collected from vertices visited amid the graph traversal. By modeling a WET graph as a time-ordered graph, we define efficient and optimal routing algorithms, and theoretically analyze them. Moreover, we present a novel node centrality measure, namely Coverage Centrality, that captures the popularity of various nodes of the WET graph, and which we incorporate in an online crowdsensing task allocation mechanism to increase task coverage. Finally, we evaluate the efficacy of this novel centrality measure on different types of graphs, when compared to other centrality measures, and evaluate its effect on task coverage in online mobile crowdsensing platforms.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129721047","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}

We use data driven methods for modeling the heating and cooling energy consumption in the building. These models are integrated into a single \"OpenAI Gym\" class in Python to create the environment for studying building energy consumption as a function of control actions, such as setting the discharge temperature set points at different locations in the building. We discuss a policy gradient based actor-critic reinforcement learning approach (Q Actor-Critic) that learns the optimal policy by interacting with the above environment. The optimal policy acts as a controller for adjusting the discharge temperature set point of the dehumidified air in real time so that the total energy consumption can be reduced but the building conditions (temperature and humidity) remain comfortable. Preliminary results show that the method %is fast enough for online application and achieves an energy savings of 2 to 5%.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116002025","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}

However, improper thermal insulation causes significant energy wastage along with infusing various damages on indoor and outdoor walls of the buildings, for example, damp areas, black stains, cracks, paint bubbles etc. Therefore, it is important to inspect the temperature variations in different areas of the built environments in regular basis. We propose a method for identifying temperature variance in building thermal images based on Symbolic Aggregated Approximation (SAX). Our process helps detect the temperature variation over different image segments and infers the fault prone segments of leakages. We have collected about 50 thermal images associated with different types of wall specific insulation problems in indoor built environment and were able to identify the affected area with approximately 75% accuracy using our proposed method based on temperature variation detection approach.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"3 1-3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129094936","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}

However, large volumes of sensor stream data generated at high frequency pose substantial challenges for existing scalable data analysis techniques requiring the use of high-performance distributed datastores. This work covers in-depth performance comparison of three principal categories of distributed state-of the-art NoSQL datastores by evaluating their applicability and efficiency for large-scale analysis of sensor logs from real-world hydraulic power systems. One central datastore is selected from each of the three principal categories of NoSQL datastores: MongoDB from the document store, Cassandra from the column store and Redis from the distributed main memory key-value store to be included in the performance evaluation. Understanding the differences and behavior of this type of systems are crucial for optimizing application performance. Key insights from this work can serve as a basis for an improved understanding of the applicability of NoSQL datastores in systems for large scale data stream analysis. This will be important for supporting data analytics in IIoT applications as found in monitoring and control of Power plants, Smart Cities, Transportation systems, Environmental and Health monitoring, etc.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134085831","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}

Currently, the alternative to this physical therapy plan is surgical therapy which costs between $3 and $5 billion annually. This paper presents the development and testing of WalkCoach app, a smart service system integrating a consumer-grade smartwatch (Polar M600) in the monitoring of supervised walking exercises. By monitoring a participant's baseline activity and improvements with time, it will be possible to provide personalized exercise prescriptions that can be easily modified or personalized to adjust and optimize for improved walking ability as the therapy progresses. This paper demonstrates the accuracy of the smartwatch-based WalkCoach app in a pilot cohort study of 10 healthy older adults (>65 yrs) who were recruited to perform a 400m overground walking task. Results are promising and show that the consumer-grade smartwatch accurately measures steps (step count = 637) compared to a video/manual step count (650 steps; Pearson's r = 0.96, P <0.001). In the future, WalkCoach will be improved to produce granular analytics on a patient's compliance and performance to the supervised walking exercises.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127756169","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}
