Intruder detection is an important application in wireless sensor networks. This paper focuses on detecting smart intruders whose purpose is to cross the monitored area and who can calculate the minimum exposure path with the location information sensors. A mixture deployment of mobile and static sensors are proposed in this paper. The central idea is that mobile sensors move smartly to dynamic...

The advance of technologies in several areas has allowed the development of smart city applications, which can improve the way of life in modern cities. When employing visual sensors in that scenario, still images and video streams may be retrieved from monitored areas, potentially providing valuable data for many applications. Actually, visual sensor networks may need to be highly dynamic, ref...

This paper presents the necessity and possibility of smart sensing using a multitude of sensors such as audio and visual sensors for human movement detection for home-care and home security applications in a smart environment. We define an event and spatial relationship based approach to the problem. Use of multisensory information to even detection is proposed and its prototype implementation ...

A In biomedical sensors having advancement in micro fabrication and in signal processing techniques, the use of transducer electronic data sheet (TEDs) is to suggest new features to improve performance of biomedical sensors and its applications. The development of smart transducers and sensors uses a family of standards.ISO/IEC/IEEE21451-X also known as IEEE1451.X is a family of standards that ...

N MODERN industry, productivity, quality, reliability and safety heavily depend on the performance of the applied sensors. They ensure an interface between the production equipment and the surrounding world, and also provide a feedback for the result of the executed operations. Thus, sensors can be found in extremely wide range of applications and play a fairly important role in industrial syst...

Over the past decade, smartphones have become the point of convergence for many applications and services. There is a growing trend in which traditional smart-card based services like banking, transport and access control are being provisioned through smartphones. Smartphones with Near Field Communication (NFC) capability can emulate a contactless smart card; popular examples of such services i...

“Smart” sensors with embedded microprocessors and wireless communication links have the potential to fundamentally change the way civil infrastructure systems are monitored, controlled, and maintained. Indeed, a 2002 National Research Council Report [1] noted that the use of networked systems of embedded computers and sensors throughout society could well dwarf all previous milestones in the in...

Many researchers introduced special rooms equipped with sensors, devices, networks, and computers to demonstrate ubiquitous computing environment. However, the cost and time for building such a room is a barrier to the deployment of various ubiquitous applications. We have developed Smart Furniture which instantaneously converts the legacy non-smart space into a Smart Hot-Spot which can provide...

User location is crucial context information for future smart homes where many location based services will be proposed. This location necessarily means that User Location Discovery (ULD) will play an important role in future smart homes. Concerns about privacy and the need to carry a mobile or a tag device within a smart home currently make conventional ULD systems uncomfortable for users. Fut...
