An efficient genetic method for multi-objective continuous production scheduling in industrial internet of things Ghent University
Continuous manufacturing is playing an increasingly important role in modern industry, while research on production scheduling mainly focuses on traditional batch processing scenarios. This paper provides an efficient genetic method to minimize energy cost, failure cost, conversion cost and tardiness cost involved in the continuous manufacturing. With the help of Industrial Internet of Things, a multi-objective optimization model is built based ...
Cost-driven design of printed wideband antennas with reduced silver ink consumption for the internet of things Ghent University
The Internet of Things (IoT) accelerates the need for compact, lightweight and low-cost antennas combining wideband operation with a high integration potential. Although screen printing is excellently suited for manufacturing conformal antennas on a flexible substrate, its application is typically limited due to the expensive nature of conductive inks. This paper investigates how the production cost of a flexible coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ...
Fabrication-as-a-Service: A Web-Based Solution for STEM Education Using Internet of Things Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Recently, fabrication laboratories (Fab Labs) have been shown to have a great impact on learners' academic and personal progress. As a result, an increasing effort is being put to integrate Fab Labs into schools' curricula. Yet, owing to the high cost of setting up and maintaining Fab Labs as well as the lack of sufficient funding for most schools and universities, only a limited number of institutions can afford them. In this article, we ...
Over-the-air software updates in the internet of things : an overview of key principles Ghent University
Due to the fast pace at which IoT is evolving, there is an increasing need to support over-theair software updates for security updates, bug fixes, and software extensions. To this end, multiple over-the-air techniques have been proposed, each covering a specific aspect of the update process, such as (partial) code updates, data dissemination, and security. However, each technique introduces overhead, especially in terms of energy consumption, ...
A multi-cloud service mesh approach applied to Internet of Things Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The joined use of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) led to the definition of Cloud of Things (CoT), a powerful combination which builds on the strengths of both technologies. Active research in this field provides brand new solutions or improves the ones already in place, but it is hampered by the lack of standardization and by the heterogeneity of adopted technologies. The focus of this work is on the application of a service mesh ...
Embedded Web Technologies for the Internet of Things Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The adoption of open standard communication protocols based on embedded IP and Web technologies is a key building block for the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) vision, where trillions of smart objects will be connected and will open up exciting possibilities for the creation of new and innovative services. Embedded Web protocols are interoperable, reduce the overall IoT architectural complexity, and deliver a long term value as it ...
CHIP: Collaborative Host Identity Protocol with Efficient Key Establishment for Constrained Devices in Internet of Things Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next evolutionary paradigm of networking technologies that interconnects almost all the smart objects and intelligent sensors related to human activities, machineries, and environment. IoT technologies and Internet Protocol connectivity enable wide ranges of network devices to communicate irrespective of their resource capabilities and local networks. In order to provide seamless connectivity and ...
Low Cost VoIP intercom system for the Internet of Things poster Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper describes the architecture of a wireless Voice-over-IP (VoIP) intercom system using 6LoWPAN. The 6LoWPAN standard describes a method for allowing low-power/low cost devices to participate in the Internetof- things (IoT). By compressing the IPv6 headers, the standard achieves reasonable payload sizes and reduces power consumption as fewer bytes have to be transmitted. Performance results show the feasibility of the 6LoWPAN technology ...
Benchmarking Internet of Things Deployment: Frameworks, Best Practices and Experiences Vrije Universiteit Brussel
IoT deployments generate data of the real world in an automated fashion without direct user involvement. With increasing scale of these IoT deploy-ments the extraction of the right knowledge about the real world from a vast amount of IoT data and efficient decisions is a challenging endeavor. While so-lutions to deal with large amounts of IoT data are slowly emerging, potential users of IoT solutions or policy makers find it difficult to assess ...
