This system will solve key problems faced by restaurants today through the use of technologies such as Mobile and Web applications, Internet of Things (IoT), Near-Field Communications (NFC) sensors, and cloud computing. Restaurants have many inefficiencies due to human limitations that can be resolved through automation and device-to-device communication. This Smart Restaurant Management System accomplishes this by providing two interfaces for the two types of users in restaurants; an Android mobile application for customers and a web application for restaurant staff members. The Android mobile application allows customers to have a seamless dining experience with features such as finding available parking spaces easier through internet-connected infrared proximity sensors in the parking lot, finding available tables at the restaurant easier through NFC sensors, ordering dishes through an interactive menu, and being able to pay the bill from their NFC equipped phones. The web application provides staff members benefits such as collecting data and statistics on the restaurant's performance in real time and automating the order placement system for waiters and cooks via IoT technology.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116089296","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 main reasons for this state of affairs is that the sensor nodes of the network are usually mobile, use wireless links, have a small processing power and have a little energy resources. The paper presents the solution for cryptographic protection of transmission between sensor nodes in the data link layer and for cryptographic protection of data stored in the sensor node resources. For this purpose, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) was used. The proposed solution makes it possible to build secure and fault tolerant sensor network. The following aspects were presented in the paper: the model of such a network, applied security solutions, analysis of the security in the network and selected investigation results of such a network were presented.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122334312","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}

However, their configuration and control remains a major challenge in order to reach widespread adoption by less technically skilled people. Over the past few years, a lot of attention has been given to improve the configuration process of constrained devices with limited resources, such as available memory and absence of a user interface. Still, a major deficiency is the lack of a streamlined, standardized configuration process. In this paper we propose EC-IoT, a novel configuration framework for constrained IoT devices. The proposed framework makes use of open standards, leveraging upon the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), an application protocol that enables HTTP-like RESTful interactions with constrained devices. To validate the proposed approach, we present a prototype implementation of the EC-IoT framework and assess its scalability.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126821477","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}

For the secure transmission of confidential data over 802.15.4, multiple encryption-based security techniques have been proposed in the literature. But these techniques do not ensure undetectable communication which is crucial in multiple scenarios like covert military operations. It is not sufficient enough to maintain the secrecy of the data using these techniques as it can arouse suspicion and even the encryption might be defeated by the adversary using advanced methods. For covert data communication, some steganographic techniques have been studied for 802.15.4 but unreliability makes it difficult to use for practical applications. In this paper, we propose a reliable method for covert data communication using redundancy in the direct spread spectrum sequences. We propose a secret acknowledgment and error detection method to ensure reliable communication in the covert channel. Results show that we can transfer confidential data reliably at a significant rate without considerably affecting the performance of primary data reception.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"3 1‐2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120854274","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 particular, we focus on how we solved the challenges of integrating a number of components into an architecture for an overall IoT platform that i. remotely monitors elderly people through heterogeneous wearable and positioning technologies; ii. processes produced data to generate alarms; iii. delivers, through an IoT broker, data-streams with fine-grained access control; iv. displays data to their owners and allowed contacts / doctors through simple web-based applications. These integration results, driven by concrete requirements, are about to be applied in 13 different trials across Europe. We illustrate lessons learnt in the implementation of an interoperable IoT data broker and a set of pragmatic choices made in the integration of newly designed and existing services (components in the afore-mentioned architecture). The contents of this article, rather than illustrating a scientific breakthrough, advance the state-of-the-art by providing a reference guide for a scalable API-based solution-design that lowers the IoT interoperability barriers and addresses secure and privacy concerns when dealing with sensitive data.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124130852","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 proposed method makes use of Doppler effect in guiding deployer towards the node of interest. A real-time deployment of the proposed acoustic localization algorithm is performed in an area of 20 m × 20 m using in-house developed IITH Motes and mobile phone. From the experimental analysis it is observed that a reduction of 62.5% and 66.6% in searching time by the user is achieved upon using the proposed algorithm when compared to labeling methodology with both the logical and physical topology scenarios respectively.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134272548","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 work, we present LAMEN1, an initial attempt to execute services at the network's edge closer to data sources. Unlike crowdsensing approaches, which use end devices as data collectors wasting the bandwidth in transmission to cloud servers for processing. LAMEN proposes a layered architecture where devices are grouped by their location. Each group elects a head node, i.e., mediator, to control service delivery and execution. Further, mediators names and organizes devices within a group in terms of resources they hold, this enables efficiently locating the right resources for service execution. We envision pushing light weight services that end devices can execute over their generated data to have the following benefits: First, avoid sharing user data with cloud server, which is a privacy concern for many of them; Second, introduce mediators as local cloud closer to the edge; Third, hide the user's identity behind mediators; and Finally, minimize communication overhead from sending raw data for processing to transmitting processed information. Our evaluation shows LAMEN to have an optimized resource lookup and service assignment techniques. Moreover, scalability in handling networks with large number of devices.","PeriodicalId":373932,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 3rd World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132973862","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}
