New transceiver technologies have emerged which enable power efficient communication over very long distances. Examples of such Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) are LoRa, Sigfox and Weightless. A typical application scenario for these is city wide meter reading collection where devices send readings at low frequency a distance to data concentrator (one-hop networks). We argue that transceivers potentially useful construct more generic Internet Things (IoT) networks incorporating multi-hop...
This paper presents ShapeClip: a modular tool capable of transforming any computer screen into z-actuating shape-changing display. enables designers to produce dynamic physical forms by "clipping" actuators onto screens. ShapeClip displays are portable, scalable, fault-tolerant, and support runtime re-arrangement. Users not required have knowledge electronics or programming, can develop motion designs with presentation software, image editors, web-technologies. To evaluate we carried out...
A number of security certifications for small- and medium-size enterprises have been proposed, but how effective are these schemes? We evaluated the effectiveness Cyber Essentials found that its controls work well to mitigate threats exploit vulnerabilities remotely with commodity-level tools.
Systematic evidence mapping offers a robust and transparent methodology for facilitating evidence-based approaches to decision-making in chemicals policy wider environmental health (EH). Interest the is growing; however, its application EH still novel. To facilitate production of effective systematic maps use cases, we survey successful other fields where more established. Focusing on issues "data storage technology," integrity," accessibility," "transparency," characterize current practice...
Abstract The paper presents the results of ParlaMint II project, which comprise comparable corpora parliamentary debates 29 European countries and autonomous regions, covering at least period from 2015 to 2022, containing over 1 billion words. are uniformly encoded, contain rich metadata about their 24 thousand speakers, linguistically annotated up level Universal Dependencies syntax named entities. focuses on enhancement made since I project compilation corpora, including encoding...
The Internet is often thought to be a model of resilience, due decentralised, organically-grown architecture. This paper puts this perception into perspective through the results security analysis Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing infrastructure. BGP fundamental protocol and its intrinsic fragilities have been highlighted extensively in literature. A seldom studied aspect how robust infrastructure actually as result nearly three decades perpetual growth. Although global black-outs seem...
This article characterizes actuation techniques for generating movement in shape-changing displays with physically reconfigurable geometry. To date, few works human–computer interaction literature provide detailed and reflective descriptions of the implementation used displays. hinders rapid development novel interactions as researchers must initially spend time understanding technologies before prototyping new applications. bridge this knowledge gap, authors propose a taxonomy that...
Providing a good understanding to children and educators on the Internet of Things (IoT) means make them aware about where data goes, how it is stored, what stored on. In this perspective many commercial IoT systems have been shown be unsuitable for purpose especially when used in an educational context. They do not create user centric collection opportunities; their sensors that send offsite online cloud gaps knowledge; themselves are transparent: it's clear they collecting how, easily...
Abstract Smart Grids are electrical grids that require a decentralised way of controlling electric power conditioning and thereby control the production distribution energy. Yet, integration Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRESs) in Grid introduces new challenges with regards to grid balancing storing energy, as well additional monetary costs. Furthermore, future smart also has take over provision Ancillary Services (ASs). In this paper, distributed ICT infrastructure solve such...
For commercial Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) deployments it is necessary to estimate the network lifetime. It must be possible before deployment determine how long a maintains operational maintenance required and batteries have replaced. Unfortunately, node lifetime very dependent on radio environment in which operated. As we will demonstrate this paper busy can up 11 times shorter than quiet environment. WSNs employ duty-cycled communication protocols where receivers periodically sample...
The modern Smart Grid (SG) requires the adequate exploitation of Ancillary Services (AS) in order to dynamically support evolving energy demands, ensure grid stability and optimize trading transactions. Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRES) are considered as most promising avenue underpin dynamic composition AS. Nonetheless, inherent legacy, distributed resource-constrained properties DRES deployments trigger a plethora challenges with respect underlying end-to-end (E2E) data...
This paper presents the ongoing development of clip:bit, a clipboard-style micro:bit V2 extension for biodiversity monitoring in schools and community groups. The clip:bit is one component wider system to enable engage longitudinal studies school grounds local areas, impact landscape management children's ecological activities, such as introduction wildflower meadows or planting hedgerows. was designed response needs identified during fieldwork schools. We describe how design addresses these...
Context A significant number of guidance documents and reporting checklists have been published to support researchers in planning, doing, writing up scientifically rigorous systematic reviews (SRs). However, compliance with SR remains a challenge, the majority SRs lacking one or more aspects rigour methods transparency reporting.
