Smart Emission is a citizen sensor network using low-cost sensors that enables citizens to gather data about environmental quality, like air quality, noise load, vibrations, light intensities and heat stress. This paper introduces the design and development of the data infrastructure for the Smart Emission initiative and discusses challenges for the future. The Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)...

The smart sensor is the product of the combination of one or more sensitive components, precision analog circuits, digital circuits, microprocessor, communication interface, intelligent software systems and hardware integration in a packaging component. Formal concept analysis is from the given data to automatically extract the classification relationship between the entire hidden concept and c...

Application of many sensors located on a mechanical structure causes serious technical problems. One of the main problems is wiring of sensors which is time-consuming and may change the system output due to high structure loading and damping. To overcome this problem new smart sensor designs have been proposed. One of the most promising technologies in this field is wireless data transfer. In t...

In this paper, we discuss some of the trends in the industrial designs of smart sensor systems. Highperformance sensor systems have been implemented by combining the sensing and signal processing functions on the same chip. Some applications of magnetic field measurements will be discussed.

We developed Smart Furniture, which extemporaneously converts the legacy non-smart space into a Smart Hot-spot which consists of computational services. Since the Smart Furniture is equipped with networked computers, sensors and various I/O devices, it can provide various services by alone or by coordinating with other devices. In this paper, the physical structure and middlewares for the Smart...
