TL;DR: A solution to transform a normal house in a smart house while reducing the energy consumption is proposed, which can be realized with the help of wireless sensor networks and of the LabVIEW graphical programming environment, which use the NI LabVIEW™ Statechart Module for collecting data from sensors.
Abstract: Home automation is gaining popularity nowadays. A smart home automation system is based on ensuring security and making user life easier. It contains a large number of sensors which can control or monitor objects distributed in three-dimensional space. The sensors can be specialized in measuring temperature, humidity, pressure, light, noise, dust air, and so on. In this paper, a solution to transform a normal house in a smart house while reducing the energy consumption is proposed. This can be realized with the help of wireless sensor networks and of the LabVIEW™ graphical programming environment, which use the NI LabVIEW™ Statechart Module for collecting data from sensors.

TL;DR: The authors outline the features and components of task automation services (TASs), and propose a generic architecture that supports current challenges, and provides a survey comparison of existing platforms.
Abstract: A simple model of mashup technology for combining services and connected devices is now becoming popular. This model is frequently referred to as task automation based on Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules. The most popular online services that follow this approach are Ifttt and Zapier. In addition, this model is being followed by several mobile frameworks to automate how phones deal with incoming Internet events and phone sensors. Here, the authors outline the features and components of task automation services (TASs), and propose a generic architecture that supports current challenges. Also, because TASs are a growing trend, this article provides a survey comparison of existing platforms and discusses their evolution and future tendencies.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a wireless communication scheme based on low-power chirp spread spectrum (CSS) signals, which meet with the EMC requirements of NPPs and also are capable of providing interference rejection.
Abstract: There are two major barriers in deploying wireless communication systems in nuclear power plants (NPPs): (a) the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between the wireless devices and the existing pl...

TL;DR: A Wireless Networked Control Systems review is presented, recognizing the fundamental features, its advantages over other classical control systems, and the protocols that can be used to do control over the wireless network.
Abstract: A Wireless Networked Control Systems review is presented. It begins with a brief history about NCS (Networked Control Systems), recognizing the fundamental features, its advantages over other classical control systems, and the protocols that can be used to do control over the wireless network. Also, we deal with the different problems that can affect the network behavior; including interferences and delays that take place when the control acts. The behavior of the system in different environments is shown through simulations using TrueTime blocks, included in a Simulink/MATLAB box.
