Traditional irrigation operates on a preset programmed schedule and timers. Smart irrigation monitors weather, soil conditions, evaporation, and plant water use to automatically adjust the watering schedule to actual conditions of the site. Deployment of IoT based sensors, GPS systems, and usage of solar energy greatly contributes to the cause. In ...

Generation of healthcare waste from different patient care activities in hospitals, pathology labs and research centres has been a matter of great concern for environmental and social bodies across the world. This concern comes from its infectious and hazardous nature which brings life taking disease such as human immunodeficiency virus and Hepatit...
Collecting pedestrian behaviour data is vital to understand pedestrian behaviour. This systematic review of 145 studies aims to determine the capability of contemporary data collection methods in collecting different pedestrian behavioural data, identify research gaps and discuss the possibilities of using new technologies to study pedestrian behav...
In this study, we develop a new Li-metal battery design merging with IoT requirements, mainly the low thickness, the thermal stability and the flexibility. To reach these specifications, we firstly prepared an efficient gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) composed of a PVDF-HFP polymer network, a LiFSI: Pyr13FSI liquid binary solution and a lithium montm...
Given the significant privacy and security risks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, it seems desirable to nudge consumers towards buying more secure devices and taking privacy into account in the purchase decision. In order to support this goal, this study examines the effect of security and privacy on IoT device purchase behaviour and assesses w...

The significant advances in wireless networks in the past decade have made a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) use cases possible, greatly facilitating many operations in our daily lives. IoT is only expected to grow with 5G and beyond networks, which will primarily rely on software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization fo...
This paper describes our work on a flexible centralized controller for scheduling wireless networks. The context of this work encompasses wireless networks within the wider Internet of Things (IoT) field and in particular addresses the requirements and limitations within the narrower Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sub-field. The overall aim o...

Interconnecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices creates a network of services capable of working together to accomplish certain goals in different domains. The heterogeneous nature of IoT environments makes it critical to find devices that extend existing architectures and helps in reaching the desired goal; especially if we have to take into cons...
