The nonlinear dynamic of nonholomonic model is simplified into linear time variant model by discretizing with Euler method. A quadratic cost function is determined by including terminal state and varying weight matrices, in order to reduce offset due to modeling simplification. The control signal for very agents are calculated by solving quadratic programming problem. A local optimal state controller is integrated with LPV-MPC during eventtriggered mechanism. In order to reduce computational load, the predictive controller only performs optimization only when the trigger conditions are met. The proposed controller is also verified in case of numerical simulation test, and shown its capability to provide good response of nonholomonic mobile robot’s consensus protocol.","PeriodicalId":331415,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Advances in the Emerging Computing Technologies (AECT)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117057563","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}

Applications included emergency alerts, positioning, and tracking of vehicles. Vehicle Localization in municipal areas is a major issue for protection applications. Many solutions have been provided including Global Positioning Systems (GPS) but these applications do not provide accuracy. Hence, a novel approach has been proposed here known as Received Signal Strength (RSS) Based Localization which aims to find accurate location of a target vehicle. It provides communication with Road Side Units (RSUs) by receiving signal within its range, and finds the average RSS. After the RSS has been found it is aided to the RSS Based Localization algorithm which finds accurate location of the vehicle. The main factor of proposed algorithm is its high signal to noise ratio which is obtained from the closest RSU. After the location of the vehicle is found, its Cramer Rao Lower Bound is analyzed. All the simulations performed shows that our suggested RSS based Localization are better than others traditional least squares and weighted least squares techniques.","PeriodicalId":331415,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Advances in the Emerging Computing Technologies (AECT)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125997807","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}

This paper proposes a new compressive sensing image encryption scheme using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-512), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), orthogonal matrix and discrete Chirikov map-based random permutation. DCT is applied on a plaintext image and a block of DCT coefficients is multiplied with an orthogonal matrix. Inverse DCT and scaling are performed to restrict the values between 0 and 255. Furthermore, values are shuffled using Chirikov-based pseudo-random permutation. A strong trade-off exists between DCT block size and computational efficiency. The quality and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the decrypted image decreases when the size of the DCT matrix is reduced, increasing the speed of the encryption algorithm. An extensive security analyses of the proposed scheme are performed, which establishes the robustness, computational efficiency and security of the technique against cryptographic attacks.","PeriodicalId":331415,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Advances in the Emerging Computing Technologies (AECT)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121509821","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}

In an IoT setting, improving and scaling network components as well as reducing cost is essential to sustain exponential growth. In this domain, software-defined networking (SDN) is revolutionizing the network infrastructure with a new paradigm. SDN splits the control/routing logic from the data transfer/forwarding. This splitting causes many issues in SDN, such as vulnerabilities of DDoS attacks. Many solutions (including blockchain based) have been proposed to overcome these problems. In this work, we offer a blockchain-based solution that is provided in redundant SDN (load-balanced) to service millions of IoT devices. Blockchain is considered as tamper-proof and impossible to corrupt due to the replication of the ledger and consensus for verification and addition to the ledger. Therefore, it is a perfect fit for SDN in IoT Networks. Blockchain technology provides everyone with a working proof of decentralized trust.

Three machine learning algorithms i.e. K-means, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been used because of their being the most popular and well known algorithms of the current time to classify vegetation. K-means being unsupervised classifier is used to compare it to two supervised classifiers i.e. SVM and ANN. Non-vegetation including buildings, roads, rivers etc. are also classified into their respective categories. This classification can be useful in many ways. They can be used by government agencies and authorities to get information about the yield of a specific crop e.g. tobacco, maize etc. This information could be very useful for gathering statistics of the crop and its location on map. These locations can be used for extracting the crops and for future planning regarding it.

Machine learning (ML) techniques have exciting capabilities, and can be used to facilitate HAR process. In this paper, a new daily HAR system is proposed for accurately recognizing daily human activity based on multimodal data from a wearable IMU wrist sensor. Two publically available datasets are employed to examine its effectiveness. The results indicate that the proposed HAR system is competitive to other recent related HAR approaches.
