This paper proposes a connection management mechanism for IoT devices using blockchain smart contracts. In recent years, with the development of network technology, the number of devices connected to the network is increasing exponentially as the number of devices increases, the risk of attacks increases. Therefore, blockchain plays a vital role in protecting IoT systems. In this paper, we propose and discuss a decentralized connection management mechanism to eliminate the threat associated with IoT by using blockchain’s smart contract. We proposed a multi-layer management mechanism to reduce the cost of smart contract processing costs due to a large number of IoT devices. We also proposed a tool to manage the connection of IoT devices using smart contracts. In the evaluation, we evaluated our proposed management scheme by applying two types of connection structure i.e., hub-based layer and sink-based layer. The novelty of this method is the implementation of a hierarchical management system for each layer. The effectiveness is the reduction of the smart contact processing cost of devices that disconnects and reconnects to the network.

This paper presents easy to use domain-specific language for system testing in V-model development lifecycle. The systematic approach offered by the domain-specific language for system testing eliminates miscommunications between testers and requirement engineers making the testing closer to the requirement engineers. This concept enables automation in the generation of the tests based on given System Requirements in the future. As many would argue on V-Model’s difficulty to align system requirements and system tests, this approach enables better mapping between those two parts of the V-diagram. This will make no functional requirement missing its counterpart in testing and vice-versa.

Agriculture is one of the most important sectors for any country, and it is one of the fields which could benefit most from the digitalization. Digitalization can be widely defined as the integrated use of aggregated data services and tools. It is considered to be a part of a fourth industrial revolution that relies on the fusion of a large number of different technologies which can erase the lines between physical, digital, and biological worlds. The emergence of drones, robots, remote sensors, data science, and Big Data, has been deeply influencing all aspects of farming and food.This paper describes in detail the development of a tool to be implemented in a future web platform called eAgro. The web platform will serve all members of agriculture to promote themselves and their products, to create a thriving environment for businesses, and to serve as an organizing tool in the large community of agricultural workers. The tool discussed in this paper analyses the weather conditions of an area, coupled with the soil analysis of land to give predictions and suggestions for crop growth and fertilization, using elements of data science and developed formulas. The paper contains the motivation for the idea, a detailed explanation of the methodology used, and the future potential of such a tool.

Mobility models are widely used for the evaluation of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) performance, this mitigates the need for the model that can generate patterns that guarantee the contact opportunities for a reliable package forwarding. In this paper, we present a new mobility model that describes students’ daily activities in a campus environment. As opposed to the conventional models such as a Random walk, Random waypoint, Random direction, etc which uses a free space environment, our model includes obstacles of different shapes and sizes that obstruct movement and signal propagation. We evaluate the model using ONE simulator by comparing it with the Working Day Model and Random Waypoint. The model synthetically generates traces with the distribution of contact duration and inter-contact time similar to the distribution of real traces. We further investigate its impact on the performance of DTNs routing protocols and the result shows that, it performs better than the existing models in terms of average delivered message and message latency.
移动模型被广泛用于延迟容忍网络(dtn)性能的评估，这减少了对能够生成模式的模型的需求，以保证可靠的数据包转发的接触机会。在本文中，我们提出了一个新的流动性模型来描述学生在校园环境中的日常活动。与使用自由空间环境的传统模型(如Random walk, Random waypoint, Random direction等)不同，我们的模型包含了不同形状和大小的障碍物，这些障碍物阻碍了运动和信号的传播。我们使用ONE模拟器对模型进行评估，将其与工作日模型和随机路径点进行比较。该模型综合生成了与实际迹线分布相似的接触持续时间分布和接触间时间分布。我们进一步研究了它对DTNs路由协议性能的影响，结果表明，它在平均传递消息和消息延迟方面优于现有模型。

When dealing with diseases spread, infectious epidemiologists play a vital role. To support them, but also to offer a self-protecting tool to everyone in the context of COVID- 19 pandemic, we propose a cross platform app to track the infected persons, by using their location history. The paper shortly presents the Covid-19 Contacts Tracker App working principle and technologies, as well as issues related to data privacy and security and how we solve them. We claim that the app might be useful in any diseases spread, not only in the current global situation.

Sensory data from industrial and agricultural facilities represents a valuable source of information about the system state and operation. In order to collect and store this data, some of the already existing local networking IoT technologies can be used. However, industrial IoT solutions are often deployed in areas with limited Internet connectivity, and delivering this data to the cloud represents a challenge. In this paper, we propose the design of a field gateway device, deployed in the industrial IoT solution with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) sensors. The gateway stores BLE sensory data locally and periodically delivers it to the cloud using 3G cellular network connection.

Microgrid is becoming the most attractive solution for integrating distributed renewable sources into the utility grid. Such a system combines renewable generations with conventional distributed generations, storage systems, and loads in one entity operating in both isolated and grid-connected modes. However, it also associates with a high level of uncertainty and volatility following climatic conditions. Therefore, energy management strategies in operating MGs plays a crucial role in term of economic and reliability. This paper investigates a method applying constrained multi-swarm particle swarm optimization without velocity-based model predictive control to optimize the operation cost in small scale PV-MGs. The results are compared with the linear programming algorithm. The results show the effective modified particle swarm optimization embedded in the model predictive control algorithm performed well. The simulations are run over 24 hours ahead based on the forecast data of PV generation, load demands, and energy price.

The ever-changing technology has shaped people’s way of life especially in the modern era of the business and agriculture sectors. Nowa days the price of pineapple depends on the size of the pineapple and also the type of pineapple that are related to the quality of pineapples. Different consumers have different desired size and weight of their purchased pineapples for their purposes. Consequently, traders and farmers need to sort the size of the pineapples to better understand the relationship among supplies and demands so that the values of pineapples can be maximized. Thus, this study proposes a system can automatically determine the size (i.e. length, diameter, and circumference) and the weight of pineapples to avoid laborious intensive and inconsistent manual sorting process that may deteriorate the consumers’ interest due to wrong sorted fruits. Different positions and sizes of pineapples were investigated and studied. The performance of the proposed system was compared with manual measurement method. Results indicate that the proposed system is promising to be further developed to automate the size and weight sorting process that can improve the interest of consumers.
