Advances in computing power and graphics have increased the use of graphics in weather forecasting. This includes 3D animation sequences and geographical information systems. The paper addresses the main problems and presents preliminary results of the visualization of atmospheric models in conjunction with the underlying topography. The goal is among others to make a sort of 3D satellite pictures ...

For preventing malicious nodes joining wireless sensor networks (WSNs), an access control mechanism is necessary for the trustworthy cooperation between the nodes. In addition to access control, recently, privacy has been an important topic regarding how to achieve privacy without disclosing the real identity of communicating entities in the WSNs. Based on elliptic curve cryptography, in this paper, ...

<p>Monitoring air pollution is a critical step towards improving public health, particularly when it comes to identifying the primary air pollutants that can have an impact on human health. Among these pollutants, particulate matter (PM) with a diameter of up to 2.5 μm (or PM2.5) is of particular concern, making it important to continuously and accurately monitor pollution related to PM. The emergence ...

Kubernetes default configurations do not always provide optimal security and performance for all clusters and IoT edge devices deployed, affecting the scalability of a given workload and making them vulnerable to security breaches and information leakage if misconfigured. We present an adaptive controller to identify the type of misconfiguration and its consequence threat to optimize the system ...

Obesity and other health problems have a high prevalence in people with intellectual disabilities. Many lead a sedentary lifestyle and often have low scores on fitness indicators such as muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. The purpose of this research is to identify design techniques and features of a mobile application that can help promote physical activity in people with intellectual ...

The World Health Organization has reported that more than 80% of the world’s adolescent population is insufficiently physically active [1]. Up to five million deaths per year could be averted if the global population were more active[1]. The low adherence to physical activity shows the need to implement services that promote physical activity. In addition, it is crucial to educate people on ...

rticle 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) contains a right for the data subject to obtain the erasure of personal data. The right to erasure in the GDPR gives, however, little clear guidance on how controllers processing personal data should erase the personal data to meet the requirements set out in Article 17. Machine Learning (ML) models that have been trained on personal data ...

<p><i>Background</i>: Research in type 1 diabetes management has increased exponentially since the irruption of mobile health apps for its remote and self-management. Despite this fact, the features affect in the disease management and patient empowerment are adopted by app makers and provided to the general population remain unexplored.</p> <p><i>Objective</i>: To study the gap between literature ...

We devise a mobile agent middleware architecture for supporting distributed applications in a wide-area network. The architecture provides a structural framework for functional components that are needed to support mobile agents in asymmetric networking environments.

The widespread adoption of distributed computer systems, exemplified by plat- forms like Airbnb and Booking.com, has transformed homes into rental proper- ties and streamlined vacation rentals by offering comprehensive tools for listing properties, processing payments, facilitating searches, and enabling communi- cation. However, a critical gap remains: these platforms do not facilitate ...
