There are three types of agricultural information: sensor information, farm work information, and plant biological information. Measuring and visualizing these agricultural information can provide valuable support to farm managers. In this study, we focus on sensor information and farm work information and develop a web application named SALATA (Sharing and AccumuLating Agricultural TAcit knowledge) that collects and shares sensor information and farm work information collected in farm fields and correlates the information in time series. SALATA need to have intuitive operation and quick response in order that people of various ages will use it on a daily basis. Therefore, there are two primary pages: the main page for visualizing simple information quickly and the analytical page for visualizing multiple pieces of information on one page. Usability evaluation experiments are performed, showing that SALATA can be operated intuitively and respond quickly.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Mainly, these features focus on detecting intrusion activities. New generation security systems are collecting important amount of data obtained from sensors. In general, the alarm confirmation mechanism is visual identification using cameras and Video Management Systems. On the other hand, this approach may not be enough to identify an invisible tunnel digging activity underground for trespassing the border. This paper is suggesting a new method to detect tunnels by using statically filtered alarm data and DBSCAN algorithm. In this particular case MIDAS® Fiber Optic based Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS) system is used, which is designed by ASELSAN Inc. The proposed approach is evaluated and positive results are seen on diverse areas of the Turkish borders.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Indeed, plants are capable of creating extensive communication networks thus warning each other of the presence of pests. In response, plants trigger natural strategy against the infestation. The main tool used by plants for exchanging information is the emission and detection of specific volatile organic compounds in air. To this end, monitoring these compounds can be crucial to reveal the state of health of a cultivation far before visual symptoms arise. In this work, we present a wireless sensor network where each node is based on highly sensitive zinc oxide nanostructures enabling the detection and the discrimination of several chemical gases such as CO, CO2, NO, NO2, CH4, etc. The response of each sensor is tuned by using excimer laser annealing procedure, a technique that changes the electrical and morphological properties of the sensing material. This wireless sensor network can be an appealing solution to capture signals coming from the plants without the usage of bulky and expensive equipment.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Different types of machines require different types of briefings. This is especially important to avoid damage and injury. Controlling access automatically is thereby desirable, as it is otherwise labor-intensive. Currently available software to organize Fablabs and makerspaces have either a rather high price tag or lacking the functionality for automated access control. Self-developed hardware is also quite common but often, due to regulatory constraints, not allowed to operate on mains. Also, there is a wide range of home automation devices that are certified for switching mains voltage. We have developed a prototypical system that makes these devices available for use in the access control of Fablabs and Makerspaces. We have identified openHAB as a useful solution for the abstraction of devices from various manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Measures of vocal function (e.g., fundamental frequency) were computed, as well as measures of autonomic function (e.g., skin conductance response). Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the relationship between vocal and autonomic function over sliding windows throughout each observation day. We found preliminary evidence that patients with a subtype of vocal hyperfunction (non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction) exhibit a coupling between the autonomic nervous system and the vocal system. Understanding how the autonomic nervous system interacts with the voice may provide new insights into the etiology/pathophysiology of vocal hyperfunction and improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Indeed, timely recognising a low-trust sensor output can greatly improve the decision making process at the fusion level, help solving safety issues and avoiding expensive operations such as either unnecessary or delayed maintenance. In this framework, this paper considers the question of trust dynamics, i.e. its temporal evolution with respect to the information flow. The goal is to increase the user understanding of the trust computation model, as well as to give hints about how to refine the model and set its parameters according to specific needs. Considering a trust computation model based on three dimensions, namely reliability, likelihood and credibility, the paper proposes a protocol for the evaluation of the scoring method, in the case when no ground truth is available, using realistic simulated data to analyse the trust evolution at the local level of a single sensor. After a visual and formal analysis, the scoring method is applied to real data at a global level to observe interactions and dependencies among","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

The results of numerical simulations for several scenarios show that our proposed method is more accurate that conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

However, many real situations in business environment are of bursty nature. Buyers often appear concentrated or, in other words, bursty. Different approaches for analysing buyers’ behaviour have been developed. One of these approaches focuses on analysis of gaps between buyers, and the buyers’ scenario is completely described by the sequence of gaps. The present research is interdisciplinary, namely telecommunications and business management. The methodology of the present contribution is built on adaptation of gap distribution functions from data transmission theory in telecommunications to bursty business process in business management. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate inter-connections between different gap distribution functions such as Weibull, Exponential and Wilhelm as well as to compare different gap distribution functions for their suitability when analysing bursty processes. Furthermore, this contribution provides the mathematical description of gap processes. The comparison results of different gap distribution functions are presented. The theoretical results are confirmed by practical implementation in agent-based simulation environment.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

To improve the network’s performance in terms of lifetime and buffer capacity, it is crucial to develop a model for RF powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which considers source-load relations, buffer size and ambient conditions within the context of Energy Neutral Operation (ENO) and minimum energy wastage. In this paper, we propose a model for RF powered WSNs that makes use of available RF energy with variations in maximum and minimum energy levels for two different worst case scenarios encompassing ENO and buffer requirements. We develop an algorithm based on the proposed model to find the optimum energy consumption rate of each sensor nodes that would ensure maximum lifetime of the WSN with minimum buffer capacity. We verified our approach by comparing the results with all other possible consumption rates. We also performed a comparative analysis to find the effect of available RF energy fluctuation in the individual sensor nodes’ lifetime.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...

Such a scenario has transformed the world a few decades back, dominated by latency, into a new world based on an efficient real-time interaction paradigm. Recently, cryptocurrency has contributed to this technological revolution, whose fulcrum is a decentralization model and a certification function offered by the so-called blockchain infrastructure, which makes it possible to certify the financial transactions, anonymously. This paper aims to indicate a possible approach able to exploit this challenging scenario synergistically by introducing a novel blockchain-based distributed paradigm for data exchange between wireless-based devices defined Internet of Entities (IoE). It is based on two core elements with interchangeable roles, entities and trackers, which can be implemented by using existing infrastructures and devices, such as those related to smart-phones, tablets, and IoT systems. The employment of the blockchain-based distributed paradigm allows our approach ensuring the anonymization and immutability of the involved data, which is key in many scenarios and domains (e.g. financial applications, health and legal applications dealing with personal and sensitive data), requirements more and more searched in recent innovations. The possibility to exchange data among a huge number of devices gives rise to a novel and widely exploitable data environment, whose applications are possible in different domains, such as, in Security, eHealth, and Smart Cities.","PeriodicalId":72028,"journal":{"name":"...
