Smart card technology has evolved over the last few years following notable improvements in the underlying hardware and software platforms. Advanced smart card microprocessors, along with robust smart card operating systems and platforms, contribute towards a broader acceptance of the technology. These improvements have eliminated some of the traditional smart card security concerns. However, r...

background: the present study aimed to determine attitudes and effective factors in the acceptance of smart phones by physicians of the largest university of medical sciences in the south of iran. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed using structural equation modelling (sem) in 2014. study participants included 200 physicians working in the hospitals of shiraz university of medical...

The predominant smart card ownership model is the issuer centric, and it has played a vital role in the proliferation of the technology. However, recent developments of multi-application smart card technology lead to new potential ownership models. One of the possible models is the User Centric Smart Card Ownership Model. In this model, the ownership is with smart card users. To support user’s ...

The goal for any utility that invests in smart grid technology is to attain higher efficiency and reliable performance. A smart grid platform implies the convergence of Operations Technology (OT) – the grid physical infrastructure assets and applications–and Information Technology (IT) – the human interface that enables rapid and informed decision making. This paper describes best practices for...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged as enabling technology for the smart gird, smart health, smart transportation, and smart environment as well as for smart cities. The major smart grid devices are smart home appliances, distributed renewable energy resources and power substations. The seven domains existing smart grid conceptual model was developed without the IoT concept in min...

Smart Home technology is the integration of technology and services through home networking for a better quality of living. This paper provides a review of the recent developments in technologies for Smart Home Automation and Mobile IP and its potential application and integration to Smart Home systems. The principles of MIPv6 are adopted for providing mobility on the design of the architecture...

ZigBee technology is a kind of wireless technology with short distance, low complexity, low power consumption, low data rate, low cost and wireless network technology. Smart Home system consists of the system server, the family controller (modules), the composition of routers, switches, communication device, controller, wireless transceiver, all kinds of detectors, sensors, actuators and other ...

The smart vision chip has a large potential for application in general purpose high speed image processing systems. In order to fabricate smart vision chips including photo detector compactly, we have proposed the application of three dimensional LSI technology for smart vision chips. Three dimensional technology has great potential to realize new neuromorphic systems inspired by not only the b...

The “implementation” and use of smart home technology to lengthen independent living of non-instutionalized elderly have not always been flawless. The purpose of this study is to show that problems with smart home technology can be partially ascribed to differences in perception of the stakeholders involved. The perceptual worlds of caregivers, care receivers, and designers vary due to differen...
