Abstract

It is always interesting to control the things around us. Moreover, controlling things like appliances located at remote places is really challenging. We need remote control technology, which has been rapidly growing to achieve these challenges. There are many communication systems to control remote appliances like Global System for Mobile (GSM), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and so on. Among them, the simplest technology to control is GSM. One more challenging issue is that to control AC appliances rather than to control simple Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) whose operating voltages are entirely different from AC appliances. The integration of Arduino and GSM along with relay, makes these challenges possible. In this paper, electrical appliances are controlled by sending SMS (Short Message Service) to GSM SIM900 module, which is integrated with Arduino and a relay is connected to it to handle high voltage devices. The number of devices to be controlled depends on the type of relay used. Presently, this paper presents successful controlling of four devices by using four channel relay.

Abstract

It is a new age where technology dominates human life. With the growth of smartphones and Web APIs, the number of mobile application development have increased in the past years. A large number of mobile applications make use of web APIs to integrate services into apps. In this paper, a mobile app is discussed for a planning, which will allow the users to plan and schedule their day trips by developing a web service API and accessing it through a mobile application. The proposed web API will integrate various third party APIs, such as Zomato, Ola for events, such as restaurant table, cab, and movie booking. Hence the proposed system will serve as an automated flexible planning system which will help the users to schedule their trips without any manual intervention or hassle.

Abstract

In this paper, a mobile application to check the stability of rock slope has been developed. To assess the stability of slope, the Factor of Safety (FoS) was calculated by assuming plane wedge failure. Accordingly, the various input parameters comprised of shear strength parameter and unit weight of rock, geometrical parameters of slope and fault plane, surcharge on the slope, seismic acceleration coefficient corresponding to given location and stabilizing force due to inclusion of rock bolt, if any, were considered. The application was developed using Java programming and android studio. The proposed use of applications was demonstrated with the use of screenshots of different steps. Further, the application was validated with the help of an example from literature. The developed application was user-friendly and can conveniently handle any field situation. Hence it was anticipated that the application will be useful for the field engineers as it minimizes the tedious work of design and referring to tables and codes.

Abstract

This paper attempts to identify key emerging technologies in support of interactive applications in mobile computing devices and socio-technical factors in their implementation. It puts forward future prospects for interaction through a review of existing literature with respect to a number of relevant emerging technologies emphasising their interaction applications and suitability. It may be of interest to note that the advancement of technology is leading to significant changes in mobile computing capability. This in turn, is challenging established notions of interaction design frameworks and the public perception of mobile interaction. Finally, several underlying factors affecting the implementation of such emerging technologies are detailed, these manifest themselves in the application of all emerging technologies in interaction roles.

Abstract

In Grid computing environment, all the resources shared in the heterogeneous environment are managed by a Resource Management System (RMS) having different architecture. In a distributed parallel collection of computers/servers that enables the sharing, selection and aggregation of resources based on the resources' availability, capability, performance, cost, and high security. In this paper, Resource Management Architecture based on reliability and Service Oriented Architecture, Web Service Architecture, and Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) have been analyzed. Further, it has been concluded that Grid system based on Resource Management Architecture will provide the efficient Grid services in terms of Information exchange, Resource availability, Application, Distributed, Data and Knowledge sharing.

Abstract

Now-a-days indoor air quality has been a vital concern, due to increased global warming, extensive usage of fossil fuels, rapid growth of transportation, and urbanization. Adequate and clean indoor air quality is essential for good health and comfort of individuals, especially considering that people who spends most of their time indoor. Due to lack of proper awareness, many people suffer from respiratory disorders like asthma, dust allergies, etc., because of prolonged exposure to the polluted environment. Hence, a real time monitoring and analysis of indoor air quality in the atmosphere has been the interest of recent topic. This paper deals with design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) based system useful for monitoring levels of vital indoor atmospheric parameters like gaseous pollutants, particulate matter, temperature, and humidity using various sensors interfaced to microcontroller for analysis and processing for automation, display outputs on LCD, and communicates via Wi-Fi module using CoAP. The controller programming is done on embedded C language based on RTOS concept, resource sharing, and reduced time complexity with enhanced features. Monitoring and control mobile App is developed in Java language. Experiments were conducted to validate and support the development of the system for real-time monitoring and automation.

Abstract

The proposed work aims at developing a dedicated embedded system for automatic scheduling and communication between an authorized person and the students and staff in educational institutions using Internet of Things (IoT) concept and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). Existing structure is running on timer based electric bell, has its own limitations and consistency in time keeping may not be possible due to inaccuracy in techniques used for timing. A gadget is built which automatically rings the bell when the scheduled time matches with the time of Real Time Clock (RTC). The system developed is capable of performing all the necessary timing operations, such as scheduling of regular classes, scheduling of exams, etc., without human interference. Additional facility is also created so that the authorized person can send messages to the concerned in case of emergency meeting, letting off of classes, etc. This dedicated system uses secured IP, low power controller, and operates at low bandwidth. The system is flexible so that it can be used by other educational institutions with secured Internet Protocol (IP) by creating the related firmware using Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to perform the intended tasks.
