RF fingerprinting has been applied to enhance the security of wireless networks based on WiFi or cellular communication standards. In this paper, we apply RF fingerprinting to IoT devices on the basis of entropy based statistical features called permutation entropy and dispersion entropy. The authentication accuracy obtained using these two features is compared to other statistical features including shannon entropy. A comparison of the obtained classification accuracy with different machine learning algorithms is performed. We demonstrate that IoT devices can be classified with great accuracy and that permutation entropy and dispersion entropy provides better accuracy than other statistical features.","PeriodicalId":413939,"journal":{"name":"2017 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131562798","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 paper, we describe an IoT-enabled gamification approach to change energy-consumption behaviors and reduce energy waste in public buildings. This will be assisted by the energy-consumption disaggregation at the device and at the individual employee levels through the design of an IoT infrastructure consisting of multi-channel smart meters, NFC tags, BLE beacons and the user smartphones. Based on our approach, employees will be motivated to improve their energy-consumption behaviors by means of peer-pressure based on a team competition and by means of direct (non-monetary) rewards.","PeriodicalId":413939,"journal":{"name":"2017 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123131419","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 addition to the fast development cycle, this platform is also made generic to enable the aggregation and open distribution of campus IoT data pertaining to student-life and academic activities. Two communities of campus data users, the data contributors who interact and control the IoT network to generate meaningful data and the application developers who utilize collected data to create innovative applications, can collaborate via such a virtual marketplace to harness the true power of IoT — the Open IoT Data.","PeriodicalId":413939,"journal":{"name":"2017 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116756321","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}

Proposed model incorporates the polarization and angle of the incidence of the beam into this model. This is achieved by using image processing techniques to automatically detect the walls and their orientation from a blueprint image. Hence, various wall types with different attenuating characteristics can be defined. By acquiring the orientation of the walls, their attenuations are defined as a function of the angle of incidence. The main advantages of this implementation are (i) no 3D model of the environment is required (ii) manual preprocessing of the blueprint is eliminated (iii) Accuracy of the propagation model is improved. This approach hence simplifies and improves the radio propagation modeling for indoor environments without requiring a 3D model of the environment or defining walls with vector equations. To validate the model, practical measurements are compared against Motley-Kennan model, both with and without the angle of the incident. IT is concluded that this modification improved the accuracy of the Motley-Keenan model for estimating the path attenuation by an average of 0.5 dB per measurement location.","PeriodicalId":413939,"journal":{"name":"2017 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131262982","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, with the massive growth in intelligent and mobile devices coupled with technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), V2X Communications, Augmented Reality (AR), the focus has shifted towards gaining real-time responses along with support for context-awareness and mobility. Due to the delays induced on the Wide Area Network (WAN) and location agnostic provisioning of resources on the cloud, there is a need to bring the features of the cloud closer to the consumer devices. This led to the birth of the Edge Computing paradigm which aims to provide context aware storage and distributed Computing at the edge of the networks. In this paper, we discuss the three different implementations of Edge Computing namely Fog Computing, Cloudlet and Mobile Edge Computing in detail and compare their features. We define a set of parameters based on which one of these implementations can be chosen optimally given a particular use-case or application and present a decision tree for the selection of the optimal implementation.","PeriodicalId":413939,"journal":{"name":"2017 Global Internet of Things Summit (GIoTS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132259699","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 system uses ADXL335 accelerometer sensors which track the gestures and these sensors are interfaced with an Arduino ATMega 2560 micro-controller for data processing and gesture recognition. The software of the system implemented in the micro-controller, features a computationally feasible algorithm which requires only nominal resources to recognize the gestures. The paper further elucidates on minimizing the number of accelerometers to reduce the cost and power-consumption of the system. The performance of the system is assessed using static gestures in the alphabets of the American Sign Language (ASL) across data-sets obtained from 3 trained ASL signers. The average run-time efficiency of the proposed system with a maximum and minimum configuration of 5 and 2 accelerometers was found to be 95.3% and 87.0%, with the cost of these prototype systems being realized at 20 USD and 12.5 USD respectively. It was also found that the system can be trained for the static gestures of the alphabets in ASL under two minutes by a new-user with any system configuration.
