Even though WSNs are considered to be one of the most promising areas from the computer science field, they also have some drawbacks. Since the sensor nodes can be deployed in different terrains and zones, it is not always easy to reach them in order to verify and maintain their energy level high enough for proper functioning. This paper proposes to extend the lifetime of WSNs and increase the efficiency of energy consumption using an approach based on genetic algorithms.","PeriodicalId":309683,"journal":{"name":"2019 18th RoEduNet Conference: Networking in Education and Research (RoEduNet)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125822050","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}

Secret values can be stored in databases after encrypting them (in particular by applying a secret sharing schema) but, in practice, these confidential values often need to be processed otherwise losing their usefulness. A possible solution is secure multiparty computation (known as MPC) that allows the computation of various functions directly on encrypted data, thus guaranteeing the confidentiality of the information during the whole process of querying databases. The main drawback for such systems is performance degradation, as secure computations on secret data imply multiple communication rounds and the exchange of messages with different lengths. In this paper, two sets of MPC subprotocols are benchmarked and compared considering the number of rounds and the communication cost, in order to assess which one of these parameters has a bigger impact on performance. Our results show that a small cost is more important in terms of efficiency than reducing the number of rounds.","PeriodicalId":309683,"journal":{"name":"2019 18th RoEduNet Conference: Networking in Education and Research (RoEduNet)","volume":"2010 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127343697","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}

Industry 4.0, the current wave of the industrial revolution– dubbed the data revolution -, integrates these advances in communication and computational systems with the Internet, resulting in a paradigm shift towards the (Industrial) Internet of Things. Automation systems and remote data acquisition systems evolved over the last years from classic solutions based on wired infrastructure to modern, flexible solutions bringing together wireless communications, battery powered devices and wireless sensors networks. In this paper we first define the main problems encountered in modern wireless automation systems - small distance limitations of wireless communication solutions, weak security or complete lack of security in data transmission, and high energy consumption of battery powered remote data acquisition systems. In order to address these limitations, we propose, implement, trial-run and benchmark a novel low power LoRa-based flexible hardware architecture for use in industrial remote monitoring and control. We obtain a LoS capability above 3km and a calculated autonomy of about 10 years, exceeding the capabilities of current State of the Art solutions.","PeriodicalId":309683,"journal":{"name":"2019 18th RoEduNet Conference: Networking in Education and Research (RoEduNet)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133432669","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 purpose of this paper is the implementation of a radio direction-finding system which uses 2 separate receivers instead of an antenna array, as most systems use today. In order to make both receivers use the same clock signal a synchronization mechanism was introduced. However, oscillator from the radio analog front end induces a phase shift into the system which differs in time. The results show that this effect causes each new packet to be received with a different phase shift, making it impossible to perform an accurate angle estimation from packet to packet, as phase information is necessary to all angle estimation techniques we used.","PeriodicalId":309683,"journal":{"name":"2019 18th RoEduNet Conference: Networking in Education and Research (RoEduNet)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128644059","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}

Year after year, performance improves, to the point that it is becoming difficult to differentiate between the strengths of deep neural network models given our current data sets.

Yet, there are many use cases for neural networks in a variety of areas, many of which require consumer-grade hardware or highly resource constrained embedded devices. This paper offers a comparison of selected state-of-the-art neural network miniaturization methods, and proposes a new approach, PXNOR, that achieves a noteworthy accuracy, remarkable inference speed and significant memory savings.
