The Internet of Things (IoT) as well as many other new applications require sensors that can already process data inside the sensor and exchange the pre-processed data more or less directly with their environment. Such sensors typically have a digital output and thus challenge current calibration systems which usually have analogue input channels. Furthermore most calibration standards were written for an analogue world and do not fit to sensors with internal A/D converters and data pre-processing. Based on experiences of the authors with the calibration of accelerometers with digital output, the paper will give an overview over the challenges that we will face in a digital sensor world. How will calibration systems for such transducers will look like? How do I calculate a measurement uncertainty if the signal processing inside a sensor is a black box? The paper addresses the challenges and tries to give an outlook how to meet them.

The proliferation of smart objects with capability of sensing, processing and communication has grown in recent years. In this scenario, the Internet of Things (IoT) connects these objects to the Internet and provides communication with users and devices. IoT enables a huge amount of new applications, with which academics and industries can benefit, such as smart cities, health care and automation. In this environment, compose of constrained devices, the widespread adoption of this paradigm depends of security requirements like secure communication between devices, privacy and anonymity of its users. This paper presents the main security challenges and solutions to provide authentication and authorization on the Internet of Things.

The internet of smart devices is a network of intelligent gadgets with sensors, programs, Wi-Fi and communication network connections. These devices store the data in cloud and process data outside the device using the proposed Cloud-Internet communication framework. These devices can communicate with other devices using the proposed framework. However, there are many challenges for communication security among the internet of smart devices. The Cloud can store the device data with security, reliability, privacy and service availability. The communication Security has been raised as one of the most critical issues of cloud computing where resolving such an issue would result in a constant growth in the use and popularity of cloud computing. Our purpose of this study is to create a framework for providing the communication security among smart devices network for the internet of things using cloud computing. Our main contribution links a new study for providing communication security for the internet of smart devices using the cloud-Internet framework. This study can be helpful for communication security problem in the framework of the Internet of Things. The proposed study generates a new framework for solving the issue of communication security among internet of smart devices.

Tensioning is an important process for producing prestressed concrete beams and directly affects bridge performance and driving safety. Active sensing and management of tensioning process data can improve the efficiency of quality monitoring and level of prestressed concrete beams. To realize remote collection and quality monitoring of tensioning process data, a framework for data sensing and processing of tensioning system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is proposed in this study. Firstly, we investigate the technical framework and techniques of the system and designs a work flow of sensing, transport, and application service layers. The architecture of the tensioning system is presented. Then we propose a data acquisition and preprocessing method for the sensing layer, put forwards the data-pushing mechanism of the transport layer, and designs the function and work flow of the application service layer. After that, .NET platform and Android Studio are used to implement the tensioning system based on Browser/Server (B/S) architecture and mobile terminals. Finally, the case results of the system in seven precast beam fields in the Hubei section of Zhengzhou–Wanzhou high-speed Railway are given, which show that the developed system realizes collection, active pushing, and remote monitoring of tensioning process data.

Recently, The Internet of Things (IoT) has been implemented and become an interesting topic for discussion. IoT is a method that aims to maximize the benefits of Internet connectivity to transfer and process data or information through an internet network wirelessly, virtual and autonomous. One of the IoT's utilization is automation system. The automation system generally uses a timer for the plant watering process. The use of timers aims to water the plants routinely without human assistance. The development of this automation system begins with the making of the prototype of chili land in the field 5 x 2.5 meters, then compile the required components and how it works. Further programming of sensors to Raspberry Pi as a controller in the system based on the conditions that have been set and changes in temperature received by the sensor. As a result, the system has been successfully done automatic watering, both on a regular basis (at 06.00 and 18.00) and cooling watering. Cooling is done if the temperature exceeds more than 30 degrees Celsius. The automation system promises to be applied to the utilization of land around the house.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by a large number of interconnected devices or assets. Measurement instruments in the IoT are typically digital in the sense that their indications are available only as digital output. Moreover, a growing number of IoT sensors contain a built-in pre-processing system, e.g., for compensating unwanted effects. This paper considers the application of metrological principles to such so-called “smart sensors” in the IoT. It addresses the calibration of digital sensors, mathematical and semantic approaches, the communication of data quality and the meaning of traceability for the IoT in general.

Abstract In the last few years, the Internet of Things (IOT), as a new disruptive technology, has gradually changed the world. With the prosperous development of the mobile Internet and the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, various new applications continue to emerge, such as mobile payment, face recognition, wearable devices, driverless, VR/AR, etc. Although the computing power of mobile terminals is getting higher and the traditional cloud computing model has higher computing power, it is often accompanied by higher latency and cannot meet the needs of users. In order to reduce user delay to improve user experience, and at the same time reduce network load to a certain extent, edge computing, as an application of IOT, came into being. In view of the new architecture after dating edge computing, this paper focuses on the task offloading in edge computing, from task migration in multi-user scenarios and edge server resource management expansion, and proposes a multi-agent load balancing distribution based on deep reinforcement learning DTOMALB, a distributed task allocation algorithm, can perform a reasonable offload method for this scenario to improve user experience and balance resource utilization. Simulations show that the algorithm has a certain adaptability compared to the traditional algorithm in the scenario of multi-user single cell, and reduces the complexity of the algorithm compared to the centralized algorithm, and reduces the average response delay of the overall user. And balance the load of each edge computing server, improve the robustness and scalability of the system.
