Wireless sensor networks for agriculture

With the expansion of smart meters, like the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), each smart city is equipped with various kinds of electronic devices. Therefore, equipment and technologies enable us to be smarter and make various aspects of smart cities more accessible and applicable. The goal of the current paper is to provide an inclusive review on the concept of the smart city besides their different applications, benefits, and advantages. In addition, most of the possible IoT technologies are introduced, and their capabilities to merge into and apply to the different parts of smart cities are discussed. The potential application of smart cities with respect to technology development in the future provides another valuable discussion in this paper. Meanwhile, some practical experiences all across the world and the key barriers to its implementation are thoroughly expressed.

A Review of Smart Cities Based on the Internet of Things Concept

Nowadays, wireless sensor network (WSN) applications have been used in several important areas, such as healthcare, military, critical infrastructure monitoring, environment monitoring, and manufacturing. However, due to the limitations of WSNs in terms of memory, energy, computation, communication, and scalability, efficient management of the large number of WSNs data in these areas is an important issue to deal with. There is a need for a powerful and scalable high-performance computing and massive storage infrastructure for real-time processing and storing of the WSN data as well as analysis (online and offline) of the processed information under context using inherently complex models to extract events of interest. In this scenario, cloud computing is becoming a promising technology to provide a flexible stack of massive computing, storage, and software services in a scalable and virtualized manner at low cost. Therefore, in recent years, Sensor-Cloud infrastructure is becoming popular that can provide an open, flexible, and reconfigurable platform for several monitoring and controlling applications. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of representative works on Sensor-Cloud infrastructure, which will provide general readers an overview of the Sensor-Cloud platform including its definition, architecture, and applications. The research challenges, existing solutions, and approaches as well as future research directions are also discussed in this paper.

A Survey on Sensor-Cloud: Architecture, Applications, and Approaches

The exact solution of exhaustive, gated and mixed exhaustive & gated service polling models with multiple classes of self-similar traffic input

Exploration of future dreams inclined us in information quest over the global literature. Web crawlers enriched with technological phenomena for such purpose to millions of seekers. The usage of crawling tools implicates justification for their consequences as searching technology that facilitates initiative passion to target new information. Several web crawlers are available with different technological mechanism of remotely communicated servers; but their efficiency in terms of different performance metrics has been an open question. Previous studies provide inadequate comparison with limited analysis factors against these servers. Here we put an effort and provided new results by considering several performance metrics under practical estimation of technical factors with maximum capacity to evaluate foremost crawling technology based end-point servers. We extensively studied remote servers running behind Google, Yahoo, MSN, Gigablast, Mamma and Excite. We reflected their performance in terms of response time, load, health status, down time, uptime, availability and reliability. These new results would provide a deep insight to every researcher regarding to searching usages and related technological enhancement in future.
