A smart city requires the intelligent management of infrastructure like the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in order to provide smart services that improve the quality of human life. To obtain the information needed to implement smart city services, stream reasoning is used to intelligently process the big data stream constantly generated from IoT devices. However, there are constraints associ...

Smart systems such as physical infrastructures infused with information technology offer a great opportunity for satisfying the customer needs and managing the resources more effectively and efficiently. In this paper, we examine the smart infrastructures in terms of their sustainability potential, which in turn requires a consideration of human aspects. We consider the currently defined metric...

THE NEXT generation electric grid, also known as smart grid, is expected to be scalable, reliable, and secure, and to enhance efficient energy consumption and deployment of renewable and distributed energy generation. The modern communications and networking technologies will play a vital role in the future smart grid by supporting two-way energy and information flow and enabling efficient moni...

This paper proposed a new smart home system that is designed based on ZigBee network and STM32F407 microprocessor. The system architecture, the basic circuit diagram and the flowchart of the software system are also provided. This smart home system integrates home appliances, lighting system, entry guard system, smoke sensors, automatic curtains and other equipment by connecting them to a ZigBe...

We review existing query answering systems for sensor data. We then propose an extended query answering approach termed smart query, specifically for marine sensor data. The smart query answering system integrates pattern queries and continuous queries. The proposed smart query system considers both streaming data and historical data from marine sensor networks. The smart query also uses query ...

 Monitoring behavior of children in the home is the extremely important to avoid the possible injuries. Therefore, an automated monitoring system for monitoring behavior of children by researchers has been considered. The first step for designing and executing an automated monitoring system on children's behavior in closed spaces is possible with recognize their activity by the sensors in the e...

This position paper provides qualitative considerations on the design and implementation of a smart heating control system for private households. We envision the system to rely on the opportunistic exploitation of information made available by existing smart devices. Since heating represents the major source of energy consumption in domestic environments, significant energy savings may be achi...
