The focus of this paper is on remote monitoring and automation for Bottle filling industry using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Effective storage and management of the packaged bottles (warehouse management systems) has also been illustrated through a comparative study between two warehouse management techniques using Barcode technology and crane automation systems. The optimisation of warehouse activities can further increase the consistency and efficiency of the industry. Implementation has been carried using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) – SCADA systems which provides durability, flexibility and ease of programming. This system can be further expanded into any other sorting industries as well.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125479215","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 data includes the dimensions, fabrication type, thermal rating and the electrical characteristics of the PV module. Also, the design equation relating the tilt angle and the PV system pitch size are provided and illustrated. Thirdly, the PV system is designed from different tilt angles and the corresponding number of PV panels used in covering the effective area of the roof house. Finally, the designed PV system has been modeled as a 3D structure and the required number of PV panels to cover an effective area of the house for maximum power production and optimize the best tilt angle in Kuwait has been presented. The results show that the tilt angle 20 degrees has the highest energy output compared with the tilt angle 30 degrees.

IoT can be used in many fields, such as digitally connected factories, facility management, production flow management inventory management, safety, security, health care, logistics, supply chain optimization, and so on. However, due to limited capabilities in IoT, it is impractical to implement extensive security solutions. Also, security standards for IoT are not mature enough. As a result, many security incidents affect IoT reliability. In this paper, we propose an effective security mechanisms that can be implemented to ensure data accuracy and integrity of IoT devices along with considering its limited hardware resources. We implement Blockchain in IoT to enhance IoT security. We apply our approach using the Ethereum protocol by having multiple Raspberry Pi devices connected as peers to the Blockchain. Also, we discuss the implementation and the expected outcome of this project, which is to implement the Access Control List mechanism using Blockchain to improve the overall IoT security and to connect IoT devices to Ethereum as light nodes.","PeriodicalId":352754,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 10th GCC Conference & Exhibition (GCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123175027","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}

First, we apply natural language processing techniques to analyze the text in stories and we build a semantic representation of main characters and events in each paragraph.

Theater audiences will be able to watch movies on a large virtual screen that is more like their own theater. VR also serves as a costeffective and attractive tool for rehabilitation. Virtual exercises help in motivating patients to practice everyday activities. Beside the health care industry, developers have turned to the fitness industry as well, where they promote exercising with VR. Combining VR and exercising will attain remarkable results. In this paper we introduce the VR-Bike; a system that combines the fun of VR gaming with the fitness of exercising on a bicycle.
