Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Frugal services, that is, services that use existing technologies for a purpose other than the one for which they were designed. In this paper, we study whether the IoT wearable environment can be a fertile ...

To make smart cities more sustainable, and technologies and smart services accessible to a broader range of people, the frugal innovation paradigm comes in handy. In such a scenario, an interesting issue to investigate is gardening (both home and ...

This paper illustrates a possible solution to monitor humidity and temperature in indoor scenarios where it is crucial to maintain their values between predefined thresholds (e.g., museums). The system architecture is composed of wireless sensors, a ...

The vision of the Internet-of-Things is rapidly changing the way we interact with everyday life objects, which can become not only data producers but also means for displaying information. This paper describes the design and implementation of such an ...

With the growth of LoRa deployments there are plenty of anecdotal reports of very long wireless links, well beyond the line of sight. Most reports suggest that these links are related to anomalous tropo-spheric propagation. We developed a platform to ...

The growing connection between the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses many challenges that require novel approaches and even a rethinking of the entire communication and processing architecture to meet new requirements for ...

Road surface monitoring is a critical activity in road transport infrastructure management. In this paper, we present a mobile crowd-sensing based road surface monitoring using Smartphone sensors and a LoRaWAN network. Using the accelerometer and GPS ...
