Comparative Evaluation of Acoustic Channel Characteristics for Reliable Design of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASN)

ABSTRACT. Due to unexplored but desirable undersea resources, Underwater Sensor Network, is a developing technology and becomes a catchword for modern scientists. Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks, also known as UASN, are employed for a broad range of underwater utilizations such as reconnaissance by the military, mineral ore detection, oil reservoir management, aquatic environment exploration, imaging marine life, and early warnings to prevent natural disaster. Almost every application is triggering to monitor important characteristics such as the salinity concerning different levels of depth, temperature profile, pollutants, etc. However, the study of aquatic channel characteristics is required before implementing the UASN for any of the applications. This research paper presents the underwater channel characteristics by varying the acoustic signal frequency, underwater depth levels, and separation between nodes. The simulated result is generated using MATLAB. The findings in the form of graphical representations are satisfactory and may be considered for future research in UASN.

Design and development of a portable spectrophotometer for glass characterization
PRESENTER: Rocio Chueca

ABSTRACT. Nanometric coatings are becoming increasingly common in architectural and railway glazing. These coatings allow glasses to be endowed with advanced optical properties such as specific colour or rejection of the infrared spectrum. This project involves the design of a portable spectrophotometer to evaluate the performance and degradation of these coatings once the windows have been installed on buildings or trains. This device allows the reflectance and transmittance of different samples to be measured using normal incidence light. In this way, windows of different thicknesses can be characterised without having to change the position of the receiver. A set of measurements of different glazing was carried out and compared with the results obtained with a conventional laboratory spectrophotometer (angle incidence).

Intelligent Car Parking System Using WSN

ABSTRACT. The Numerous technologies are constantly being created due to the rapid rise in the standardization and automation of operational and management systems. It makes systems more streamlined and enables microelectronics technology to advance more often. Such as, through sensor networks and car parking systems, it was controlled. The wireless sensor network manages many complex situations simultaneously, like parking space management, parking lot reservation, vehicle guidance, etc. This paper proposes an intelligent parking system using wireless sensor networks. The innovative parking system works through sensors that will be deployed underground. The information about nodes/slots gets transferred to the base station, and the base station sends data to FTP, and on the user’s request, FTP sends the information about nodes/slots on smartphones. This idea was developed to manage the car parking system, which has become ubiquitous and is growing at an alarming rate in major urban areas. This system will be implemented and observed for further research in wireless sensor networks.

Internet of Things (IoT) –Assets Taxonomy, Threats Assessment and Potential Solutions

ABSTRACT. Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected devices and networks that provides autonomous functioning capability. Increasing expansion rate of IoT system in diverse set of domains has resulted in inclination of associated risks as well. This research paper presents classification of assets which are part of IoT system, identify platform-independent threats, and consolidate potential solutions to secure the IoT system from threats. Various researchers have conducted studies which are focused on specific industry/domain. Therefore, there is an inevitable necessity to present generalized assessment of IoT system and associated threats, irrespective of the industry or domain. In addition, this research presents prioritization, in terms of criticality, of IoT assets and threats that will enable stakeholders to identify the items that are crucial and items that can be ignored considering the low priority. This would enable researchers and stakeholders of IoT system (such as policy makers, end-users, manufacturers, and security experts etc. to have a deeper understanding of the implications and have an insight on solutions/recommendations in a broad-spectrum. Survey findings showed that DDoS (distributed denial of service), privacy attack, and information modification are the top three threats in terms of criticality ranking. A generalized (industry-independent) set of recommendations have been consolidated based on literature analysis and survey findings in three categories, which are related to policies, organizational measures, and technical measures.

Estimation of Chromatic Dispersion by means of Innovative Rectification Element
PRESENTER: Madiha Abbasi

ABSTRACT. An optical signal becomes progressively more distorted as it travels a long-haul fiber transmission system. This distortion is the consequence of interamodal dispersion in single mode fibers. These distortion effects can be elucidated by inspecting the behavior of the group velocities of the guided modes. In this Research, the vital factors of optical fiber transmission system like Chromatic dispersion (CD) and Mode-Field-Diameter (MFD) has been estimated competitively and precisely. A modern formulation has been created with the concern of group refractive-index of optical fiber within the backscattered control of Optical-Time-Domain-Reflectometer OTDR that results to a more improved measurement.

Implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks deep learning approach to Classify Melanoma Skin Cancer
PRESENTER: Adnan Afroz

ABSTRACT. A kind of deadly skin tumor called melanoma is arguably very lethal since it accounts for the majority of skin cancer fatalities. Melanomas are often brown or black in color because melanocyte cells, which produce melanin, are the source of the disease. The DNA of skin cells is damaged by UV light, which is the main cause of melanomas. The analysis of the dermoscopy examination's findings and comparison with medical sciences are frequently used in the manual diagnosis of melanoma cancer. Human subjectivity has a strong impact on manual detection, which renders it unreliable in some circumstances. In order to classify the outcomes of the dermoscopy test and to determine the results more precisely with a comparatively shorter amount of time, computer-assisted technology is required. Problem statement, planning, execution, and testing are the first steps in the creation of this application. To identify picture data, the research study combines deep machine learning approach using Convolutional Neural Network technique along with LeNet-5 architectural model. With a variable number of training and testing epochs and 44 photos from the training results, the experiment with the best success rate (93% in training and 100% in testing) required 176 images and 100 epochs of training data. Programming language such as Python with utilization of Keras library, which serves as the Tensorflow back-end, were used to construct this application.

Availability of Free Space Optical links of Hyderabad Pakistan using Climate Data

ABSTRACT. Researchers are interested in free-space optics (FSO) because of its numerous benefits including secure communication, easy installation & low setup costs, and license-free spectrum. Even though there are a number of benefits to use FSO link, it is highly susceptible to the effects of fog, smoke, and smog on its implementation. Fog is one of the most significant of these factors, resulting in significant attenuation for the FSO signals. In this manuscript, a case study for the 5G network that uses FSO communication links in presence of fog is presented. The Pakistan meteorological department (PMD) has provided the 20-year (21,900 samples) visibility data for Hyderabad. This 20-year visibility data consisted of daily measurements three times a day at 05:00, 08:00, and 17:00 Pakistan standard time (PKT). The outage probability for the city Hyderabad was calculated using the FSO system link budget equation at a wavelength of 1550 nm

PRESENTER: Ayesha Rafique

ABSTRACT. Future generation of mobile communication is likely to provide higher data rate, greater capacity and improved performance contrast to previous or existing mobile generations. To full fill these believes, cooperative communication is proposed for the future generation of mobile communication. With cooperation in a system, mobile having single antenna (i.e. Single user) is allowed to temporary (logically) use the antenna of other mobile user of a system and thus make sequence of multiple antennas logically that allows the user to get diversity and other gains and performance advantages at lower cost. This research is focused on the performance evaluation of cooperative communication protocols in terms of throughput and outage probability. We also focus on the latency issue and have analyzed the total latency cause by the cooperative communication system in comparison with conventional non-cooperative (egoistic) transmission.

Cost-Effective Portable Photonic Sensor for Liquid Adulteration Detection

ABSTRACT. Water and Beverages are the most consumed liquids in the world, intended to satisfy human thirst. The chemical arrangements of these pure liquids are being altered intentionally for a long time, which has decreased their quality and provided more profit to dealers. Liquid adulteration is a life-threatening issue, which has caused diseases such as kidney failure, diabetes, blood pressure, heart failure, etc. This issue has been detected through expensive and large equipment for many years, which requires a modified and simple alternative solution. Therefore, an efficient and economical device embedded with a photonic sensor has been proposed using AS7265x Triad spectral engine to detect adulteration. It uses on-chip spectroscopy and a working proof of concept has been presented by characterizing different adulterated liquid samples. It offers a user-friendly and cost-effective approach, which gives effective and rapid results with minor sample preparations efficiently. Several experiments have been performed on various liquid samples like honey, water, milk, juice, and ice-cream syrup to elucidate the change in absorption with respect to the concentration of the solution. It has been experienced that these adulterations have affected the characteristics, properties, and viscosity of liquid which are harmful to human health.

Genetic Based Routing Protocol for the Optimization of Sensor Nodes in the Internet of Things

ABSTRACT. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is an emerging filed based on the arrangement of sensors. WSN provides the sensing data for the applications of internet of things. Optimize routing is essential for WSN, since WSNs have many limitations such as node selection, load balancing, data aggregation and data collection as well. All these factors depend upon the optimize and effective routing procedure that gives an optimal path for the transmission of data so that minimum energy is utilized while transferring the data. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the routing techniques of WSN for the application of internet of things. This paper is intended to provide the multi objective optimization for the routing in WSN for the applications of internet of things by using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The process of genetic algorithm is a heuristic approach that aims to provide the optimal route by using genetic operators such as fitness function, crossover and mutation. The provide methodology optimize the node selection method of wireless sensor nodes facing the Internet of things and the guaranteed method to avoid coverage holes. The proposed algorithm plays a significant role in selecting the control nodes by considering energy and distance parameters. The experiment was carried out on the scale of the performance matrix such as fitness value, average residual energy, etc. The simulation result of the proposed algorithm outperforms over other algorithms under the different arrangements of the network. The results will show the coverage of the area to be monitored, reduce the network energy consumption, and keep the energy consumption balanced.

Design & Implementation of Crop Monitoring using WSN
PRESENTER: Nadia Ansari

ABSTRACT. Mostly crops, is one of humanity's fundamental needs. A product for which demand continually increases. A significant Food, mostly crops, is one of humanity's essential needs. A spin-off for which demand constantly increases. A considerable amount of its production is lost owing to a lack of care or incorrect assessment of the various growth and productivity-related metrics. The WIRELESS CROP MONITORING SYSTEM requires a portable, user-friendly, highly accurate, automated information generator for several crucial, associated parameters. Soil testing in laboratories and networked monitoring systems can provide data on the fertility and toxicity of the soil, as well as the meteorological conditions necessary for crop growth. Crop fields cover a large area, so getting information on impacting parameters is not a problem. However, collecting real-time information about every inch of your crop field is challenging using a centralized or any of the system's wireless nodes. According to this study, keeping an eye on these variables can significantly increase a field's yield per acre. By measuring soil moisture, the issue of an excessive water supply can be resolved. Estimating a plant's water needs is possible thanks to temperature monitoring. The maintenance of a healthy air environment is made possible by air quality monitoring. concentrating on methods for monitoring small, medium, or big crops.
