Livestock production is the second largest economic activity of Pakistan's rural population, more specifically; sixty-seven percent of Pakistan's total population that live in rural areas sources their income from livestock activities. As this subsector of agriculture within rural Pakistan is so critical to Pakistan's economy it is especially important to further develop the sector through the introduction of cost effective, efficient, and practical technologies. In an effort to improve such an important sector within the agriculture sector in Pakistan research has been carried out to better understand the capabilities and feasibility of leveraging Internet of Things based technologies, such as, microprocessors and microcontrollers within Pakistan's livestock production and management. The internet of Things can potentially allow for the scaling of small-scale rural livestock production to larger operations through cost effective and efficient livestock management through the application of IoT technologies. This paper discusses the architecture models of IoT based smart animal farms and delves into the pitfalls and advantages of applying IoT technologies in this sector. In this work we will explore the cheap sensors to monitor the internal activities of cattle farm with the aim of using these sensors as part of system to detect the important operations that need on the time response. This system should provide the feed and water as required, and control the temperature in sheds to protect the cattle being ill and on heat, and humidity level .internet connection used to connect these devices with smartphones or computers. In this paper we proposed the architecture model of IoT based smart animal farm.

These days, research has been made for a variety of internet of things (IoT) technologies over industrial fields. The current research trend includes the effective adoption of the IoT technologies. But, most IoT researches assume a relatively complicated structure, which consists of sensor devices, gateway, network server, and application server. Of course, the structure has distinct merits in the aspects of flexibility and expandability. However, the complicated structure causes the system implementation overhead including high-cost implementation, and hinders the practical usage of IoT in the industry areas, which require a small-size network. In this paper, we propose a novel IoT system architecture, which guarantees the small-size network and the low-cost implementation. Also, we implement the infrastructure, which includes the RF433-based sensor network, the ARDUINO-YUN based gateway, and the application server using Apache/PHP/MySQL (APM) package. Finally, we present the effective power management scheme among these components.

These days there have been trying to fuse the various of IoT (Internet of Things) technology over the industrial field. However the complicated IoT System structure comprised of sensor devices, gateway, network server, and application server causes the difficulties to the system implementation and the increment of installation cost, thereby preventing IoT system deployment in the industry fit for small size network environment. In this paper, authors propose a novel IoT system architecture that is useful in the industry field to be implemented by the small size network with low cost. Also, we implement the infrastructure to RF433 wireless sensor network, the gateway on ARDUINO YUN, and the application server using AMP (Apache, PHP, MySQL) package and then present a power efficient management scheme for sensor devices.

Uncertainty is increasing around the world due to COVID-19 and Ukraine crisis. In this situation, each company is making countless efforts to survive. In Korea, smart factory projects targeting small and medium-sized businesses with difficulties have been continuously promoted. As for the smart factory business that has been promoted so far, the base expansion of the smart factory is also steadily increasing as the number of companies carrying out the project is increasing. It was also found that it contributed to productivity improvement and quality improvement. Despite these positive aspects, difficulties and operational problems are also appearing in the process of promoting smart factories. In this study, we investigated and analyzed operational problems and difficulties in the process of promoting smart factories. In addition, improvement plans for problems were presented according to the contents of this analysis, and improvement plans were presented by classifying them into introduction and supply companies, considering that the smart factory business is formed in the form of a consortium between introduction and supply companies.

With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology and industrial technologies, a hyper-connected society is being realized to connect human beings, all programs and things via the Internet. IoT (Internet of Thing), which connects a thing and another thing, and things and human beings, gathers information to realize the hyper-connected society. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a push-technology-based light message transmission protocol that was developed to be optimized to the limited communication environment such as IoT. In pursuing the hyper-connected society, IoT's sensor environment information is now being used as a wide range of information on people's diseases and health management. Thus, security problems of such MQTT include not only the leak of environmental information but also the personal information infringement. To resolve such MQTT security problems, we have designed a new security MQTT communication by applying the initial-value sensitivity and pseudorandomness of the chaotic system to the integrity and confidentiality. The encryption method using our proposed chaotic system offers a simple structure and a small amount of calculation, and it is deemed to be suitable to the limited communication environment such as IoT.

With the widespread use of smartphones and IoT (Internet of Things), data are being generated on a large scale, and there is increased for the analysis of such data. Hence, distributed processing systems have gained much attention. Hadoop, which is a distributed processing system, saves the metadata of stored files in name nodes; in this case, the main problems are as follows: the memory becomes insufficient; load occurs because of massive small files; scheduling and file processing time increases because of the increased number of small files. In this paper, we propose a solution to address the increase in processing time because of massive small files, and thus improve the processing performance, using the Reuse JVM method provided by Hadoop. Through environment setting, the Reuse JVM method modifies the JVM produced conventionally for every task, so that multiple tasks are reused sequentially in one JVM. As a final outcome, the Reuse JVM method showed the best processing performance when used together with CombineFileInputFormat.

An autonomous driving system is based on the deep learning system built by big data which are obtained by various IoT sensors. The miniaturization and high performance of the IoT sensors are needed for diverse devices including the autonomous driving system. Specially, the miniaturization of the sensors leads to compel the miniaturization of the fixer structures. In the viewpoint of the miniaturization, metallic structure is a best solution to attach the small IoT sensors to the main body. However, it is hard to manufacture the small metallic structure with a conventional machining process or manufacturing cost greatly increases. As one of solutions for the problems, in this work, metallic FDM (Fused depositon modeling) based on metallic filament was proposed and the FDM process was investigated to fabricate the small metallic structure. Final part was obtained by the post-process that consists of debinding and sintering. In this work, the relationship between infill rate and the density of the part after the post-process was investigated. The investigation of the relationship is based on the fact that the infill rate and the density obtained from the post-processing is not same. It can be said that this work is a fundamental research to obtain the higher density of the printed part.

In the Internet of Things (IoT), resource-constrained devices such as sensors are capable of communicating and exchanging data over the Internet. The IETF standard group has specified an application protocol CoAP, which uses UDP as a transport protocol, allows such a lightweight device to transmit data. Also, the IETF recommended the DTLS binding for securing CoAP. However, additional features should be added to the DTLS protocol to resolve several problems such as packet loss, reordering, fragmentation and replay attack. Consequently, performance of DTLS is worse than TLS. It is highly required for lightweight devices powered by small battery to design and implement a security protocol in an energy efficient manner. This paper thus discusses about DTLS performance in the perspective of energy consumption. To analyze the performance, we implemented IEEE 802.15.4 based test network consisting of constrained sensor devices in the Cooja simulator. We measured energy consumptions required for each of DTLS client and server in the test network. This paper compares the energy consumption and amount of transmitted data of each flight of DTLS handshake, and the processing and receiving time. We present the analyzed results with regard to code size, cipher primitive and fragmentation as well.

We propose a percolation based M2M networking architecture and its data transmission method. The proposed network architecture can be server-free and router-free, which allows us to operate routing efficiently with percolations based on six degrees of separation theory in small world network modeling. The data transmission can be divided into two phases: routing and data transmission phases. In the routing phase, probe packets will be transmitted and forwarded in the network thus multiple paths are selected and performed based on the constriction of the maximum hop number. In the second phase, the information will be encoded, say, with the fountain codes, and transmitted using the paths generated in the first phase. In such a way, an efficient routing and data transmission mechanism can be built, which allow us to construct a low-cost, flexible and ubiquitous network. Such a networking architecture and data transmission can be used in many M2M communications, such as the stub network of internet of things, and deep space networking, and so on.

With the help of a small wearable device, patients reside in an isolated village need constant monitoring which may increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery cost. As the number of patients' requests increases in simultaneously manner, the web service gateway located in the village hall encounters limitations for performing them successfully and concurrently. The gateway based RESTful technology responsible for handling patients' requests attests an internet latency in case a large number of them submit toward the gateway increases. In this paper, we propose the design tasks of the web service gateway for handling concurrency events. In the procedure of designing tasks, concurrency is best understood by employing multiple levels of abstraction. The way that is eminently to accomplish concurrency is to build an object-oriented environment with support for messages passing between concurrent objects. We also investigate the performance of event-driven architecture for building web service gateway using node.js. The experiments results show that server-side JavaScript with Node.js and MongoDB as database is 40% faster than Apache Sling. With Node.js developers can build a high-performance, asynchronous, event-driven healthcare hub server to handle an increasing number of concurrent connections for Remote Healthcare Monitoring System in an isolated village with no access to local medical care.
