In this paper we propose a flying IoT system designed to monitor parking lot. The system is composed of a flying mobile station and a terrestrial station. The mobile station consists of visual monitoring camera associated with air quality monitoring sensors, mounted on a Turnigy SK450 quad copter controlled with Pixhawk autopilot hardware. Data gathered from the monitoring system are transmitted to an IoT broker running on a Raspberry Pi 3+ microcontroller, also mounted on a drone, that aggregates data into a common flow and retransmits them to the terrestrial station. The transmission system was build according to WebRTC architecture. In order to assure separation of the production network (for transmission of application data) and the management network (for management and control purposes), two different transmission channels are used: one for the WebRTC transmission and the other for controlling the drone. The paper includes a description of the system and the results of field trials carried out on the parking lot of the AGH University of technology.

In this paper, we introduce a notion of so-called finite-step simulation functions for discrete-time control systems. In contrast to the existing notions of simulation functions, a finite-step simulation function does not need decay at each time step but after some finite numbers of steps. We show that the existence of such a function guarantees that the mismatch between output trajectories of the concrete and abstract systems lies within an appropriate bound. Using this relaxation, we develop a new type of small-gain conditions which are less conservative than those previously used for compositional construction of approximate abstractions of interconnected control systems. In particular, using finite-step simulation functions, it is possible to construct approximate abstractions, where stabilizability of each subsystem is not necessarily required. The effectiveness of our results is verified by an illustrative example.

Mobile offloading is a platform that facilitates the distribution of computationally intensive tasks from mobile devices to the cloud or other devices in order to conserve energy and improve performance. The concept is practically based on the idea of exchanging relatively low communication energy for high computation power utilization. Efforts have been channeled towards energy conservation by clusters using Dynamic Power Management (DPM). This paper is a review for green energy sources for reducing energy and using energy consumption to manage sources by stating the latest studies of energy consumption and energy consumptions.

In this paper we propose a pipeline for brain mapping using a decentralized database with a blockchain architecture. We use a two-layer model for a distributed imaging data ledger capable of version control and authoring augmented data. Our platform is capable of direct volume rendering inside a browser window using WebGL. The data visualization pipeline allows for real-time multi-intensity transfer functions and global opacity of a given imaging recording. The platform is intended as a collaboration tool for multiple imaging laboratories and institutes and aims to help in organizing augmented data and multiple level-of-detail recordings used on a wide array of devices. We believe our platform will aid in brain mapping efforts for classification, measurement and visualization of cortical structures trough the aid of virtual reality and a scalable backend based on a standard blockchain technology.

In this paper an automated image analysis approach is proposed in order to investigate thoroughly the porosity, a morphological feature specific for hydrogel polymeric systems. The structure and morphology of the porous mixed interpenetrated networks based on poly (N-isopropylacryl amide) and alginate prepared with different mixing ratios and various crosslinking agent concentrations were evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Automated characterization of porosity was accomplished using image acquisition, features extraction, and classification over the images acquired. Two different image processing methods were used in order to analyze the size and distribution of the pores within studied hydrogels. One method is based on the Gaussian model and for the second method a new technique is proposed, which uses a J criterion inspired by the JSEG color image segmentation algorithm. The results obtained showed the efficiency of these methods to determine hydrogels porosity in a fast and accurate manner.

Installing smart meters to publish real-time electricity rates has been controversial while it might lead to privacy concerns. Dispatched rates include fine-grained data on aggregate electricity consumption in a zone and could potentially be used to infer a household's pattern of energy use or its occupancy. In this paper, we propose Blowfish privacy to protect the occupancy state of the houses connected to a smart grid. First, we introduce a Markov model of the relationship between electricity rate and electricity consumption. Next, we develop an algorithm that perturbs electricity rates before publishing them to ensure users' privacy. Last, the proposed algorithm is tested on data inspired by household occupancy models and its performance is compared to an alternative solution.

Memetic Algorithms (MAs) are a class of stochastic global search heuristics in which Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) - based approaches are combined usually with heuristic local searches. This hybridization is meant to reach solutions that would otherwise be unreachable by evolution or a local method alone. In this work, we propose three Local Search (LS) algorithms for hybridization with an existing Evolutionary Algorithm with Pareto ranking in order to define biological intelligence using the concepts of useful and utility and therefore to zoom on the basin of attraction of promising realistic solutions. Our experimental results with these memetic algorithms in the game of Checkers show how we can learn the organization of behaviors into paths of behaviors of different lengths and frequencies and then reveal the true nature of these behaviors.
