Evaluation of Machine Leaning Algorithms for Streets Traffic Prediction: A Smart Home Use Case.

This paper defines a smart home use case to automatically adjust home temperature and/or hot water. The main objective is to reduce the energy consumption of cooling, heating and hot water systems in smart homes. To this end, the residents set a temperature (i.

Deep Sensing: Inertial and Ambient Sensing for Activity Context Recognition Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

With the widespread use of embedded sensing capabilities of mobile devices, there has been unprecedented development of context-aware solutions. This allows the proliferation of various intelligent applications, such as those for remote health and lifestyle monitoring, intelligent personalized services, etc. However, activity context recognition based on multivariate time series signals obtained from mobile devices in unconstrained conditions is naturally prone to imbalance class problems.

Design and Implementation of a Trust Information Management Platform for Social Internet of Things Environments.

As the vast amount of data in social Internet of Things (IoT) environments considering interactions between IoT and people is accumulated and processed through cloud and big data technologies, the services that utilize them are applied in various fields. The trust between IoT devices and their data is recognized as the core of IoT ecosystem creation and growth. Connection with suspicious IoT devices may pose a risk to services and system operation.

Survey on Revocation in Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption.

Recently, using advanced cryptographic techniques to process, store, and share datasecurely in an untrusted cloud environment has drawn widespread attention from academicresearchers. In particular, Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising,advanced type of encryption technique that resolves an open challenge to regulate fine-grainedaccess control of sensitive data according to attributes, particularly for Internet of Things (IoT)applications. However, although this technique provides several critical functions such as dataconfidentiality and expressiveness, it faces some hurdles including revocation issues and lack ofmanaging a wide range of attributes.

Wearable Internet of Things - from human activity tracking to clinical integration.

Wearable devices for human activity tracking have been emerging rapidly. Most of them are capable of sending health statistics to smartphones, smartwatches or smart bands. However, they only provide the data for individual analysis and their data is not integrated into clinical practice.

Toward a Trust Evaluation Mechanism in the Social Internet of Things.

In the blooming era of the Internet of Things (IoT), trust has been accepted as a vital factor for provisioning secure, reliable, seamless communications and services. However, a large number of challenges still remain unsolved due to the ambiguity of the concept of trust as well as the variety of divergent trust models in different contexts. In this research, we augment the trust concept, the trust definition and provide a general conceptual model in the context of the Social IoT (SIoT) environment by breaking down all attributes influencing trust.

Sensor Network-Based and User-Friendly User Location Discovery for Future Smart Homes.

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.

Industrial Internet of Things-Based Collaborative Sensing Intelligence: Framework and Research Challenges.

The development of an efficient and cost-effective solution to solve a complex problem (e.g., dynamic detection of toxic gases) is an important research issue in the industrial applications of the Internet of Things (IoT).

An energy-aware routing protocol for query-based applications in wireless sensor networks.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) typically has energy consumption restriction. Designing energy-aware routing protocol can significantly reduce energy consumption in WSNs. Energy-aware routing protocols can be classified into two categories, energy savers and energy balancers.
