The Blockchain technology is a good example of an emerging technology that is attracting government attention. Many government entities such as United Kingdom, Estonia, Honduras, Denmark, Australia, Singapore and others have taken steps to unleash the potential of Blockchain technology. Dubai Government is aiming to become paperless by adopting the Blockchain technology for all transactions by 2021. The Blockchain is a disruptive technology that is playing a vital role in many sectors. It's a revolutionary technology transforming the way we think about trust as it enables transacting data in a decentralized structure without the need to have trusted central authorities. Blockchain technology promises to overcome security challenges in IoT enabled services such as enabling secure data sharing and data integrity. However, it also introduces new security challenges that should be investigated and tackled. In this paper, we review the literature to identify the potential use cases and application of Blockchain to enable government services. We also synthesized literature related to the security of Blockchain implementations to identify the security benefits, challenges and the proposed solutions. The analysis shows that is huge potential for Blockchain technology to be used in to enable smart government services.

Alzahrani","doi":"10.1109/LT.2018.8368490","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/LT.2018.8368490","url":null,"abstract":"Microblogs sentiment analysis of people's attitudes, appraisals and emotions has become one of the most active research areas for business marketing, decision making, political campaigns, and alike. As people publish short snippets of texts through the social networks expressing their ideas, thoughts and opinions, an instant and reliable mining machine should be utilized. In this paper, we proposed an IoT mining machine for Twitter sentiment analysis. Firstly, we used Twitter's API for harvesting tweets in real time. Then, a mining engine was developed on the Raspberry Pi single-board microcomputer as an IoT platform due to its availability and connectivity. The IoT device was programmed for sentiment analysis and opinion mining using state-of-the-art Naïve Bayes classifier which after training was used to classify the trending tweets into either positive or negative. We used a gold standard dataset from SemEval 2017 for training our classifier which achieved 0.992 of accuracy. We aggregated the sentiments of tweets streamed in daily trend hashtags into visualized graphs. Finally, the visualized results from opinion mining were displayed on two-way smart mirror without any need for application installment. Our experimental results on the IoT mining machine demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"1 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":"127451004","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}

As a result, soft skills are being recognized as deficient in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) graduates. Our program, Purdue Polytechnic Leadership Academy seeks to improve essential workplace skills for STEM students through virtual reality (VR) simulations that immerse students in intercultural leadership case studies. Experiencing something from a distance is a new type of collaborative technology enabled by the internet of things known as telehora. Students will actively participate in the virtual environment, both responding to and looking around in the virtual environment. Students will experience firsthand how the choices they make within the modules change the outcomes of the case. Once developed, the modules can be deployed in traditional and online classrooms or as self-study. The modules can be scaled to provide a safe and replicable experience for large student cohorts, with potential to expand to multiple universities and industry. Students are unable to gain these experiences through formal education by other means, making the experiences good candidates for VR application. Virtual reality combined with sensors for emotion tracking represent a novel educational application of Internet of Things hardware. We will compare efficacy of high-cost VR hardware to low-cost VR and traditional computers, examining how student engagement and outcomes are affected by the different delivery mediums, thereby contributing to our understanding of these novel technologies. Research methods will include measures of intercultural competence, tolerance for ambiguity, facial emotion detection, and a combination of galvanic skin response and electromyography. This data triangulation will provide insights into the effectiveness of the interventions on traditional outcomes and give researchers a better understanding of emotion's role in intercultural leadership interactions. The provides an immersive and safe learning environment for students to participate in intercultural leadership scenarios that cannot be replicated in traditional classrooms.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"101 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":"131950056","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 increasing level of water wastage in the irrigation system is an alarming problem. According to the 2030 vision, a reduction in water wastage is sought. Moreover, in this era home appliances using the Internet of Things (IoT) applications is highly needed for efficiency purposes. This represents a strong motivation to create a simple device to achieve water efficiency. Home sprinkler water flow systems do not take into consideration the current state of the surroundings, which lead to high wastage of water. In this research paper, a conceptual smart traveling sprinkler composed of a water pump and a motion motor is proposed. The suggested circuit design includes sensors that are capable of detecting soil conditions, such as moisture level and object proximity. The device power is provided by a solar panel that is connected to the water tank, which incorporates a level indicator. The method of control and the monitoring through a mobile phone is used to enter the field size, duration etc. A series of pushbuttons and LCDs can also be integrated. The desired objective is the reduction of water consumption, and this brings us one step closer to achieving the 2030 vision.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"66 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":"133310713","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 era of Internet of Things [IoT] has introduced technical installation, automated management, and ubiquitous sensors, which contributed to the rise of smart cities in the early 21st century. Buildings, which were historically identified as shelters and urban machines, are now becoming ‘smart’ and turning into urban devices. Although research has progressed applications' development in various areas, including the environmental monitoring, water management, surveillance, lighting management smart services, and crowd-sensing, there is a clear gap in the application of the IoT concept in a more confined physical space, specifically in commercial building environments. That being said, there is a growing number of innovative social and people-centric application areas, including social networking, which would help in creating buildings that respond to their contents as well as the outer environment. These buildings would serve both the exterior and the interior users, and architecture would be classified as an active element in the world of today. This research focuses on constructing conceptually transparent commercial building environments through means of interactive architecture. The paper aims to visually portray the crowd levels on the commercial buildings' skin, and explore the required components that develop smart building systems and their applications. The main objective of this study is to suggest design guidelines that accommodate IoT systems to create architecture that is able to serve people in real-time, and in a responsive manner.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"17 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":"134608800","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}
