The sensor data compression is one of the fundamental methods to reduce the amount of data needed to transmit from the sensor node which is often battery powered and operates wirelessly. Reducing the amount of data in wireless transmission is an effective way to reduce overall energy consumption in wireless sensor nodes. The methods presented and tested are suitable for constrained sensor nodes with limited computational power and limited energy resources. The methods presented are compared with each other using compression ratio and inherent latency. Latency is an important parameter in on-line applications. The improved variation of the linear regression-based method called RT-LRbTC is tested and it has proved to be a potential method to be used in a wireless sensor node with a fixed and predictable latency. The compression efficiency of the compression algorithms is tested with real measurement data sets.","PeriodicalId":346827,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","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":"129031678","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}

Moreover, information processing performance are continuously improved thanks to advanced vectorized SIMD (single-instruction multiple-data) processor architectures and instructions like ARM SVE (Scalable Vector Extension). This paper explores both approaches (Posit-based implementation of activation functions and vectorized SIMD processor architectures) to obtain faster DNNs.

In this scenario, some applications are sensitive to high latency and response times. In order to fulfil these requirements, Edge and Fog Computing appear with the objective of bringing processing and storage devices closer to applications and management mechanisms. In this context, due to limitations related to high cost, scalability and planning, several mechanisms and algorithms need to be simulated before being implemented in the real world. This paper presents a comparison between two simulation tools and their main characteristics (EdgeCloudSim and iFogSim) using a smart campus scenario deployed at the University of Campinas, where the sensors collect data from water meters and smart energy marker watches, in addition to smart public transportation and battery disposal bins. Our evaluation shows that the information processing in edge and fog can efficiently serve the applications, however, each simulation tool has its specificities, and should be used according to the researcher's objectives and needs.","PeriodicalId":346827,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"13 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":"114680300","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 this sense, common interfering substances, as detergents, cannot be classified as dangerous contaminants and should be neglected in the classification. By adopting classical machine learning approaches having a finite set of possible responses, each alteration of the sensor baseline is always classified as one out of the predetermined substances. Consequently, we developed an anomaly detection system based on one-class classifiers, able to discriminate between a recognized set of substances and an interfering source. In this way, the proposed detection system is able to provide detailed information about the water status and distinguish between harmless detergents and dangerous contaminants.","PeriodicalId":346827,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"56 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":"131693490","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}

Mobile Crowd Sensing systems highly reduce this cost, but realizing this vision using traditional centralized networking primitives requires a constant stream of the sensed data to the cloud in order to store and process it, which in turn leads to the individuals about whom the data is sensed losing control over the privacy of the data.
