It has numerous benefits and its potentiality is unfolding gradually. The implementation of IIoT in mission and safety-critical systems has shown its significance. Since it deals with important and sensitive information, an extensive study is required to address the susceptibility of it towards security issues. Therefore, there have been many proposals to use certificateless signature scheme, machine learning approaches, public key encryption as well as blockchain to improve the security of IIoT. It is important to note that blockchain is playing a significant role in the IIoT technology where the important characteristics of blockchain, immutability, decentralization, tamper-proof, have made a profound impact on the security vulnerabilities of IIoT. Taking this into account, this paper proposes a permissioned blockchain for IIoT that addresses and guarantees to ensure and improve the security vulnerabilities and susceptibility of IIoT towards cyber threats. The permissioned blockchain enabled IIoT ensures a secure medium for device communication, data sharing, and access control. This paper also discusses the security issues of IIoT and presents a comprehensive analysis of some of the proposed blockchain based solutions to improve IIoT security challenges. It addresses the benefits of a permissioned blockchain enabled IIoT over a public blockchain as well as presents a future direction for the upcoming integration of blockchain with IIoT and other industries.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124610187","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}

Repercussions from economic downfall due to closed businesses from social distance policies has made many small businesses lose operation mechanisms and see a decrease in profit and sales. Many people lost their jobs due to businesses losses a record 22 million employees have filed for unemployment. In this paper, how the COVID-19 epidemic has changed people’s behaviors and changed the way people shop. As more people are shopping online to avoid at risk situations at busy stores, small businesses are seeing losses in sales and customers. Also we studied when they rely on small profits margins, how the small businesses have suffered the worst losses, seeing a decrease in business sales and a lower revenue margin. This research shows how social distance policy has especially affected businesses vulnerable to COVID-19 risks. This often includes businesses that have large groups of people in close quarters or highly susceptible relationships that increase the risks of spreading the illness, such as restaurants or retail stores. Government help has been recommended especially for small businesses and workers who are most vulnerable to economic losses.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115530614","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 are various learning based methods available that are capable of producing similar results in terms of detection. In this paper, a neural network based algorithm is developed, and we compare the Hough transform and a machine learning implementation with the proposed approach to determine which would be the most appropriate in a real-time application given a variety of factors including computational performance, accuracy, and environmental variability. Compared to the learning based approaches which rely on training data, Hough transform based detection relies on a variety of processes, including binarization and denoising, which are not required to be explicitly implemented in the machine learning or neural network models. Additionally, to add another layer of diversity to the three possible solutions examined is the consideration for color input data. The Hough transform method and the neural network model implemented both require color input data while the machine learning model relies on texture features instead of color to make its classification predictions. Compared to the traditional image understanding techniques, autonomous vehicles face challenges due to similarities in color and texture between the crops and their surroundings. Therefore, the algorithm is developed to overcome such challenges. Preliminary results show that the neural network model developed was found to offer the most versatility compared to traditional methods and the highest accuracy on the order of 97% for this application across several different input conditions.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124931967","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 impact of COVID-19 has been fallen on almost all sectors of development. The healthcare system is going through a crisis. Many precautionary measures have been taken to reduce the spread of this disease where wearing a mask is one of them. In this paper, we propose a system that restrict the growth of COVID-19 by finding out people who are not wearing any facial mask in a smart city network where all the public places are monitored with Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras. While a person without a mask is detected, the corresponding authority is informed through the city network. A deep learning architecture is trained on a dataset that consists of images of people with and without masks collected from various sources. The trained architecture achieved 98.7% accuracy on distinguishing people with and without a facial mask for previously unseen test data. It is hoped that our study would be a useful tool to reduce the spread of this communicable disease for many countries in the world.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"2020 35","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132678560","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}
