Advertising over smart devices is one of the growing trends in the information technology domain. Most of the Android application (app) developers generate revenue through the use of ads, but on the other hand, the end users get the free app. However, the excessive number of ads infers hidden costs with respect to energy consumption, network utilization, and user comfort. These factors affect the app rating and reviews. Consequently, developers require a technique to balance app performance through optimized mobile ad usage. Therefore, in this paper, we extend an existing work and propose an energy-efficient method that uses gamma correction to reduce the hidden costs of a mobile app. In this approach, gamma correction efficiently balances the app performance by minimizing the size of ads. The size of the mobile ad is reduced by adjusting its pixels, reducing background color, and illuminating the content of the ad. After several experiments, it is deduced that our proposed approach efficiently saves mobile battery and developers can apply this approach to improve app rank and feedback.

Vital Parameters

Smart devices are more and more present in every aspect of everyday life. From smartphones, which are now like mini-computers, through systems for monitoring sleep or fatigue, to specific sensors for the recording of vital parameters. A particular class of the latter regards health monitoring. Indeed, through the use of such devices, several vital parameters can be acquired and automatically monitored, even remotely. This paper presents the second generation of VITAL-ECG, a smart device designed to monitor the most important vital parameters as a “one touch” device, anywhere, at low cost. It is a wearable device that coupled with a mobile app can track bio-parameters such as: electrocardiogram, SpO2, skin temperature, and physical activity of the patient. Even if it not yet a medical device, a comprehensive comparison with a golden standard electrocardiograph is presented to demonstrate the quality of the recorded signals and the validity of the proposed approach.

Agriculture is the art of cultivation on soil. Agriculture acts as the evolution in the rise of human civilization, whereby farming local species created food supplies that enabled people to live in cities. E-agriculture is recent term in the field of agriculture and rural development practices. It is the global body of practice where people exchange information and ideas related to the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The issue faced by the farmers in today’s world is that they are not getting enough credits for their own crops. The middleman takes all credits in between the communication. Here, we develop a mobile app that establishes direct communication in between the merchant and the farmer with no middleman in act.

Rapid Pace

In the recent past, the wireless technology has grown at a very rapid pace and it has brought a revolution in the field of communication. WSNs are of great importance in building the smart devices and intelligent applications such as smart homes, military surveillance applications, target tracking and structural health monitoring etc. One of the major hardware limitations is limited energy of sensor nodes which has motivated researchers to emphasize on energy efficient communication and this in turn has given a lot of stimulus for the research of energy efficient protocols for MAC and network layer. Further, the cross-layer optimizations have a major impact on network performance metrics like increased energy efficiency, enhanced reliability, reduced delay and increased security as well. In this paper, various energy efficient asynchronous MAC, MIMO-MAC layer routing protocols, analysis, cross layer optimization have been discussed.

Network Upgrade

In smart Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), sensor nodes usually adopt a programmable technology. These smart devices can obtain new or special functions by reprogramming: they upgrade their soft systems through receiving new version of program codes. If sensor nodes need to be upgraded, the sink node will propagate program code packets to them through “one-to-many” broadcasting, and therefore new capabilities can be obtained, forming the so-called Software Defined Network (SDN). However, due to the high volume of code packet, the constraint energy of sensor node, and the unreliable link quality of wireless network, rapidly broadcasting the code packets to all nodes in network can be a challenge issue. In this paper, a novel Energy-efficient Broadcast scheme with adjustable broadcasting radius is proposed aiming to improve the performance of network upgrade. In our scheme, the nonhotspots sensor nodes take full advantage of their residual energy caused in data collection period to improve the packet reception probability and reduce the broadcasting delay of code packet transmission by enlarging the broadcasting radius, that is, the transmitting power. The theoretical analyses and experimental results show that, compared with previous work, our approach can averagely reduce the Network Upgrade Delay (NUD) by 14.8%–45.2% and simultaneously increase the reliability without harming the lifetime of network.
