Remote sensing can help optimize resources, making more ecological, increasing productivity helping farmers anticipate events that could not otherwise be avoided. Considering losses caused by anomalies such as diseases, weeds pests account 20-40 % overall agricultural productivity, a successful research effort in this area would breakthrough In paper, we propose...
This paper presents the main foundations of big data applied to smart cities. A general Internet Things based architecture is proposed be different cities applications. We describe two scenarios analysis. One them illustrates some services implemented in campus University Murcia. The second one focused on a tram service scenario, where thousands transit-card transactions should processed. Results obtained from both show potential applicability this kind techniques provide profitable cities,...
Federated learning (FL) has attracted significant interest given its prominent advantages and applicability in many scenarios. However, it been demonstrated that sharing updated gradients/weights during the training process can lead to privacy concerns. In context of Internet Things (IoT), this be exacerbated due intrusion detection systems (IDSs), which are intended detect security attacks by analyzing devices' network traffic. Our work provides a comprehensive evaluation differential...
Considering that the largest part of end-use energy consumption worldwide is associated with buildings sector, there an inherent need for conceptualization, specification, implementation, and instantiation novel solutions in smart buildings, able to achieve significant reductions through adoption efficient techniques active engagement occupants. Towards design such solutions, identification main consuming factors, trends, patterns, along appropriate modeling understanding occupants' behavior...
Misbehavior detection represents a key security approach in vehicular scenarios to identify attacks that cannot be detected by traditional cryptographic mechanisms. In this context, the application of Machine Learning (ML) techniques has been widely considered increasingly sophisticated misbehavior attacks. However, most proposed approaches are based on centralized settings, which could pose privacy issues, as well an increased latency leading severe consequences environment where real-time...
The factors affecting the penetration of certain diseases such as COVID-19 in society are still unknown. Internet Things (IoT) technologies can play a crucial role during time crisis and they provide more holistic view reasons that govern outbreak contagious disease. understanding will be enriched by analysis data related to phenomena, this collected using IoT sensors. In paper, we show an integrated solution based on serve opportunistic health acquisition agents for combating pandemic...
