Evaluating Twitter Data to Discover User’s Perception About Social Internet of Things

Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is a young paradigm that integrates Internet of Things and Social Networks. Social Internet of Things is defined as a social network of intelligent objects. SIoT has led to autonomous decision making and communication between object peers. SIoT has created and opened many research avenues in the recent years and it is vital to understand the impact of SIoT in the real world. In this paper, we have mined twitter to evaluate the user awareness and impact of SIoT among the public. We use R for mining twitter and perform extensive sentiment analysis using supervised and semi supervised algorithms to evaluate the user’s perception about SIoT. Experimental results show that the proposed Fragment Vector model, a semi supervised classification algorithm is better when compared to supervised classification algorithms namely Improved Polarity Classifier (IPC) and SentiWordNet Classifier (SWNC). We also evaluate the combined performance of IPC and SWNC and propose a hybrid classifier (IPC?+?SWNC). Our analysis was challenged by limited number of tweets with respect to our study. Experimental results using R has produced evidences of its social influences.     

A 220 mV robust read-decoupled partial feedback cutting based low-leakage 9T SRAM for Internet of Things (IoT) applications

In this work, a 9T subthreshold SRAM cell is proposed with the reduced leakage power and improved stability against the PVT variations. The proposed cell employs the read decoupling to improve the read stability, and the partial feedback cutting approach to control the leakage power with improved read/write ability. The incorporated stacking effect further improves the leakage power. The simulated leakage power for the proposed cell is 0.61×, 0.49×, 0.80× and 0.55×, while the read static noise margin (RSNM) is 2.5×, 1×, 1.05× and 0.96×, write static noise margin (WSNM) 0 is 1.5×, 1.8×, 1.68× and 1.9× and WSNM 1 is 0.95×, 1.2×, 1.05×, and 1.2× at 0.4 V when compared with the conventional 6T and state of arts (single ended 6T, PPN based 10T and data aware write assist (DAWA) 12T SRAM architectures) respectively. The minimum supply voltage at which this cell can successfully operate is 220 mV. A 4 Kb memory array has also been simulated using proposed cell and it consumes 0.63×, 0.67× and 0.63× less energy than 6T during read, write 1 and write 0 operations respectively for supply voltage of 0.3 V.

The Research of User’s Behavioural Decision on Intelligent Home Control and Sensing System

In recent years, intellectualized technology has gradually matured, and it has been applied to all aspects of life. Among them, the emerging industry represented by smart home is rising, but the current smart home industry cannot meet people’s demand because of the immature technology, high cost for maintenance and price. In the situation, this paper presents a decision method for user’s behaviours which based on the C4.5 algorithm, selecting samples from data collected by intelligent home system, analysing and processing samples to generate a decision tree. According to the user’s living habits, the decision tree is used to help users make decisions, so as to provide users with more intelligent and efficient services.     

A Novel Scheme of Substitution-Box Design Based on Modified Pascal’s Triangle and Elliptic Curve

Regularly the scam threat entails intended scams performed for gaining profits and the goal is to focus on this domain of services aiding payments with the electronic money. Precisely the usage of tools for prognostic safety estimation at the time of execution monitors the operational performance with respect to payments within money payment service and attempts to equalize them with the anticipated performance offered by the operational framework. The assessment variations from the specified performance required for abnormalities representing probable mishandling of the services in terms of money laundering behaviours. The assessment of the applications in terms of the designed scheme offering calibrations based on estimation and detection behaviour of the prognostic safety estimator created employed real-time processing and assessed logs.

Improvement of Thermal Fatigue Properties of Sn-Ag-Cu Lead-Free Solder Interconnects on Casio’s Wafer-Level Packages Based on Morphology and Grain Boundary Character

Thermal fatigue properties of commercial LF35 (Sn-1.2Ag-0.5Cu-0.05Ni), SAC105 (Sn-1Ag-0.5Cu), and SAC305 (Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu) solders on Casio’s wafer-level packages are discussed from the viewpoints of both morphology and grain boundary character. Orientation imaging microscopy revealed that both LF35 and SAC305 resisted the coarsening of tin grains during thermal fatigue as compared with SAC105, correlating with their greater fraction of coincidence site lattice boundaries. This seems to explain why LF35 has superior thermal fatigue life in spite of its lower silver content.     

Performance Analysis of Tags Collection Time on A New Architecture of 2.4 GHz Embedded Active RFID System for Indoor and Outdoor Tracking and Monitoring Applications Based on IEEE 802.15.4 Standard

This paper focuses on the analysis of tags collection time of 2.4 GHz embedded active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system for indoor and outdoor real-time tracking and monitoring applications based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The main novelty of the system is the implementation of the communication method in order to provide Machine to Machine (M2M) communication and automated switching mechanism between indoor and outdoor location by utilizing active RFID, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Global Positioning System (GPS) and mobile communication on a single platform. In this work, GPS receiver covers outdoor location tracking, while active RFID provides identification and Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) reading for each tag holder to cover indoor location tracking especially near or inside building where location information is not detected by GPS. Several experiments were conducted on three different RFID tags which were active RFID tag embedded with GPS and GSM (ERFIDG2), active RFID tag embedded with GPS (ERFIDG) and standalone RFID tag communicating with the same active RFID reader. The experiment was done to evaluate the communication performance of the active RFID in terms of tags collection time using Transparent (AT) and Application Programming Interface (API) mode. The experiment was extended to measure tags collection time in single hop and multi hops communication for Tag Talk First (TTF) and Reader Talk First (RTF) protocols. The results show that the proposed active RFID system (ERFIDG2) is better than the standalone and ERFIDG systems. The in-depth research done in this work is to study the experience and identify the challenges that will be faced in the development and implementation of a wireless RFID-based system for tracking and monitoring applications.     

A tool for liberty or oppression? A cross-national study of the Internet’s influence on democracy

This study addressed the question of whether the Internet is a tool for democracy or oppression. To that end, it analyzed the relationships among national-level indicators on a global scale (national economy, human capital, ICT deployment, electoral rights, civil liberties, and online filtering). The results of the cross-national examination through the path analyses found that Internet-enabled participation did not significantly mediate political evolution from electoral democracy to liberal democracy. On the contrary, online filtering or censorship significantly mediated the relationship between electoral democracy and liberal democracy. Moreover, the study identified the countries that were experiencing inconsistencies between their technological readiness for Internet-enabled participation and the extent of oppression of their civil liberties by categorizing their levels of Internet-enabled participation and liberal democracy.

Merkle’s Key Agreement Protocol is Optimal: An $$O(n^2)$$ Attack on Any Key Agreement from Random Oracles

We prove that every key agreement protocol in the random oracle model in which the honest users make at most n queries to the oracle can be broken by an adversary who makes \(O(n^2)\) queries to the oracle. This improves on the previous \({\tilde{\Omega }}(n^6)\) query attack given by Impagliazzo and Rudich (STOC ’89) and resolves an open question posed by them. Our bound is optimal up to a constant factor since Merkle proposed a key agreement protocol in 1974 that can be easily implemented with n queries to a random oracle and cannot be broken by any adversary who asks \(o(n^2)\) queries.
