We present the work on development of Smart Detachable Wireless Sensing System for environment monitoring (SDWSS) complying with the IEEE 1451 standard. Barometric and alcohol two different detachable smart sensor have been developed by incorporating generic transducer, customized peripheral interface controller (PIC) 18LF2550 microcontroller and with other peripherals. Detachable smart transdu...

Distributed and collaborative wireless sensor networks (WSN) plays key role in developing Smart Environment. A Smart Environment needs information about its surroundings as well as about its internal working; this information's are monitored and collected by the network of wireless sensors. The futuristic application of distributed WSN includes : Animal monitoring, Vehicle monitoring, Enemy mon...

Recent advances in wearable electronics combined with wireless communications are essential to the realization of medical applications through health monitoring technologies. For example, a smart contact lens, which is capable of monitoring the physiological information of the eye and tear fluid, could provide real-time, noninvasive medical diagnostics. However, previous reports concerning the ...

Analyzing health conditions using sensors is one of the daily activities in a healthcare organization. The purpose of this research is to improve the e-healthcare formulated through the integration of wearable smart sensors and miniaturized devices. In this research, monitoring glucose level of the diabetic is considered as an example of the non-linear problem in which we show that accuracy and...

Indoor localization and navigation systems for individuals with visual impairments (VI) typically rely upon extensive augmentation of the physical space or expensive sensors. Thus, few systems have been adopted. This work conducts a feasibility study of whether it is possible to localize and guide people with VI using inexpensive sensors, such as compasses and pedometers, which are available in...

Increasingly, people’s digital identities are attached to, and expressed through, their mobile devices. At the same time digital sensors pervade smart environments in which people are immersed. This paper explores different perspectives in which users’ modelling features can be expressed through the information obtained by their attached personal sensors. We introduce the PreSense Ontology, whi...

Playable cities are smart cities that allow artists, urban designers, and city dwellers to introduce sensors and actuators or use already in-place sensors and actuators for playful applications. These applications allow users to interact with street furniture or with and in public buildings. Sensors and actuators can be embedded in street furniture and public spaces, they can be addressed direc...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained worldwide attention in recent years, particularly with the proliferation of Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology which has facilitated the development of smart sensors. Smart sensors are small devices composed of one or more sensors, a memory, a processor, a power supply and a radio unit. They can sense the environment, measure and send ...
