Blockchains offer a decentralized, immutable and verifiable ledger that can record transactions of digital assets, provoking radical change in several innovative scenarios, such as smart cities, eHealth or eGovernment. However, blockchains are subject to different scalability, security potential privacy issues, transaction linkability, crypto-keys management (e.g. recovery), on-chain data privacy, compliance with regulations GDPR). To deal these challenges, novel privacy-preserving solutions...

New verticals within the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm such as smart cities, farming, or goods monitoring, among many others, are demanding strong requirements to Radio Access Network (RAN) in terms coverage, end-node's power consumption, and scalability. The technologies employed so far provide IoT scenarios with connectivity, e.g., wireless sensor network cellular technologies, not able simultaneously cope these three requirements. Thus, a novel solution known Low Power - Wide Area...

The TinyML paradigm proposes to integrate Machine Learning (ML)-based mechanisms within small objects powered by Microcontroller Units (MCUs). This paves the way for development of novel applications and services that do not need omnipresent processing support from cloud, which is power consuming involves data security privacy risks. In this work, a comprehensive review ecosystem provided. related challenges opportunities are identified potential will be enabled truly smart frugal discussed....

This article provides an overview main smart city applications, their implementation status major cities around world. We also present a...

Internet of Things security is attracting a growing attention from both academic and industry communities. Indeed, IoT devices are prone to various attacks varying Denial Service (DoS) network intrusion data leakage. This paper presents novel machine learning (ML) based framework that automatically copes with the expanding aspects related domain. leverages Software Defined Networking (SDN) Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enablers for mitigating different threats. AI combines monitoring...

The application of Machine Learning (ML) techniques to the well-known intrusion detection systems (IDS) is key cope with increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks through an effective and efficient process. In context Internet Things (IoT), most ML-enabled IDS approaches use centralized where IoT devices share their data centers for further analysis. To mitigate privacy concerns associated approaches, in recent years Federated (FL) has attracted a significant interest different...

The recent technological advances and their applications to agriculture provide leverage for the new paradigm of smart agriculture. 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...

User requirements for the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based road applications have been significantly increasing in recent years. Safety systems based on vehicle localization, electronic fee-collection systems, and traveler information services are just a few examples interesting requiring onboard equipment (OBE) capable offering high available accurate position, even unfriendly environments with low satellite visibility such as built-up areas or tunnels at cost....

Smart cities play an increasingly important role for the sustainable economic development of a determined area. are considered key element generating wealth, knowledge and diversity, both economically socially. A City is engine to reach sustainability its infrastructure facilitate industry, buildings citizens. The first goal that reduce energy consumption levels greenhouse gases (GHG). For purpose, it required scalability, extensibility integration new resources in order higher awareness...

Nowadays, buildings are increasingly expected to meet higher and more complex performance requirements. Among these requirements, energy efficiency is recognized as an international goal promote sustainability of the planet. Different approaches have been adopted address this goal, most recent relating consumption patterns with human occupancy. In work, we analyze what main parameters that should be considered included in any building management. The analysis help designers select relevant...

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,...

The strong development of the Internet Things (IoT) is dramatically changing traditional perceptions current towards an integrated vision smart objects interacting with each other. While in recent years many technological challenges have already been solved through extension and adaptation wireless technologies, security privacy still remain as main barriers for IoT deployment on a broad scale. In this emerging paradigm, typical scenarios manage particularly sensitive data, any leakage...
