The proposed device is based on the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) to determine and communicate the location and the path of the person for possible action. The device contains hardware and software parts. The former, covering the electrical part of the walker with three components: Sensor, controller, output, and the later contains two components; “Map” and “Find Me” Apps. The IoT treats the information received from the sensors (position, objects, and people around) and sends commands to the controller to guide the walker to fulfill the elderly needs safely. Using the IoT concept and smart device design, we expect a reduction in the number of falls and a contribution in the prevention of disability among elderly and visually impaired people.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"os-8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128080891","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}

Presently, social networking sites became the daily routine activities of every employees' life and made a positive (negative) effect on their performance. Therefore, organizations are facing a big challenge to ensure the effective use of social networking sites to enhance employees' performance during working hours. The main objective of this research is to explore the impact of an intensive use of social networking sites on employees' performance through an intermediation of job satisfaction and organizational commitment factors. This research is based on female random samples of employees working at the King Abdul-Aziz University in 2016. The method used to collect the data was via online Google questionnaire. The forum was used to distribute the questionnaire and as a primary source of data collection. Descriptive, correlation and regression analysis have been employed to identify the influence of the variables to test hypotheses. This research concludes that the intensive use of social networking sites has the greatest positive impact on the employees' performance. It does enhance their job satisfaction which leads to organizational commitment. Moderate use of social networking sites leads to achieve a balance between the personal and the professional life of employees. It ultimately increases employees' overall performance over a long period of time. Using social networking sites has several benefits. It helps the employees to improve and enhance their skills, knowledge, productivity, communication between co-workers and promotes innovation.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127636005","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 aim of this project is to use the IoT with an intelligent wireless sensors network in order to monitor the health of plants and to observe the population of larva in a remote crop field. In this framework, a wireless sensors network is proposed to detect larva and measure other system parameters like Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI), temperature, humidity and soil moisture. The sensors' data is collected by the front end sensing node, developed with a STM32F407VG board, via a serial port. The STM32F407VG board is based on the ARM processor. The data from the node is transmitted to a base station by using a wireless ZigBee interface. The base station collects data from a group of sensor nodes. This data is transmitted to the Central Processing Unit (CPU) via the USB liaison between the base station and the CPU. On CPU this data is analyzed via the MATLAB based specifically developed application. The findings are displayed and stored on the CPU and are also logged on the cloud via Thingspeak liaison. It allows accessing this data globally at any time. It is done to realize a timely interaction and cure of the intended crop field. The system parameters are adjusted in order to achieve the effective modules integration and performance. The proposed system operation is tested with an experimental setup.

The controller used to design the IoTSHS is WiFi based microcontroller. Temperature sensor is provided to indicate the room temperature and tell the user if it's needed to turn the AC ON or OFF. The designed IoTSHS need to be interfaced through switches or relays with the items under control through the power distribution box. When a signal is sent from IoTSHS, then the switches will connect or disconnect the item under control. The designed IoT smart home system can also provide remote controlling for the people who cannot use smart phone to control their appliances Thus, the designed IoTSHS can benefits the whole parts in the society by providing advanced remote controlling for the smart home. The designed IoTSHS is controlled through remote control which uses IR and WiFi. The IoTSHS is capable to connect to WiFi and have a web browser regardless to what kind of operating system it uses, to control the appliances. No application program is needed to purchase, download, or install. In WiFi controlling, the IoTSHS will give a secured Access Point (AP) with a particular service set identifier (SSID). The user will connect the device (e.g. mobile-phone or Laptop/PC) to this SSID with providing the password and then will open the browser and go to particular fixed link. This link will open an HTML web page which will allow the user to interface between the Mobile-Phone/Laptop/PC and the appliances. In addition, the IoTSHS may connect to the home router so that the user can control the appliances with keeping connection with home router.

Majority of such applications or services are to ease human life and/or to setup efficient processes in automated environments. However, this convenience is coming up with new challenges related to data security and human privacy. The objects in IoT are resource constrained devices and cannot implement a fool-proof security framework. These end devices work like eyes and ears to interact with the physical world and collect data for analytics to make expedient decisions. The storage and analysis of the collected data is done remotely using cloud computing. The transfer of data from IoT to the computing clouds can introduce privacy issues and network delays. Some applications need a real-time decision and cannot tolerate the delays and jitters in the network. Here, edge computing or fog computing plays its role to settle down the mentioned issues by providing cloud-like facilities near the end devices. In this paper, we discuss IoT, fog computing, the relationship between IoT and fog computing, their security issues and solutions by different researchers. We summarize attack surface related to each layer of this paradigm which will help to propose new security solutions to escalate it acceptability among end users. We also propose a risk-based trust management model for smart healthcare environment to cope with security and privacy-related issues in this highly un-predictable heterogeneous ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125908899","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}
