Background And Objective: The patterns present in biosignals, such as fetal heart rate (FHR), are valuable indicators of fetal well-being. In designing biosignal analysis systems, the variety of approaches and technology usage impairs the decision-making for the fundamental units of the systems. There is a need for an updated overview of studies encompassing the biosignal-based fetal state assessment systems.

Choosing an optimal irrigation management plan depends on having available data in the monitoring field. A smart agriculture system gathers data from several sources; however, the data are not guaranteed to be free of discrepant values (i.

Our proposal has two sequential steps: (i) the offline modeling step, where we model the outliers detection problem as a system; and (ii) the online modeling step, where the projection distance of each data vector is decomposed by a multidimensional method as new data arrives and an outlier statistical index is calculated. We used real data gathered and streamed by urban sensors from three cities in Finland, chosen during a continuous time interval: Helsinki, Tuusula, and Lohja.

Prediction of data not sent to the sink node is a technique used to save energy in WSNs by reducing the amount of data traffic. However, it may not be very accurate.
