Location based garbage management system with iot for smart city
(IEEE, 2018-08-08) Lokuliyana, S; Jayakody, A; Dabarera, G. S. B; Ranaweera, R. K. R; Perera, P. G. D. M; Panangala, P. A. D. V. R
Smart cities integrate multiple ICT and IOT solutions to build a comfortable human habitation. One of these solutions is to provide an environmentally friendly, efficient and effective garbage management system. The current garbage collection system includes routine garbage trucks doing rounds daily or weekly, which not only doesn't cover every zone of the city but is a completely inefficient use of government resources. This paper proposes a cost-effective IOT based system for the government to utilize available resources to efficiently manage the overwhelming amounts of garbage collected each day, while also providing a better solution for the inconvenience of garbage disposal for the citizens. This is done by a network of smart bins which integrates cloud-based techniques to monitor and analyze data collected to provide predictive routes generated through algorithms for garbage trucks. An android app is developed for the workforce and the citizens, which primarily provides the generated routes for the workforce and finds the nearest available smart bin for citizens.

Parade in the Virtual Dressing Room
(IEEE, 2018-08) Priyadharsun, S; Lakshigan, S; Baheerathan, S. S; Rajasooriyar, S; Rajapaksha, U. U. S. K; Harshanath, S. M. B
Fashion has always been in the forefront especially with the youngsters. The interest in fashion can vary according to the country, region, culture, age, seasons, climates, places visited, attitude, personal interests etc. Some of them, however, have difficulties finding out about suitable dressing styles for them. Meeting this need is the purpose of this application. On the other hand, social networks are an easy way to interact with the teenagers. In this new age social network site, users create a profile and enter their body measurements to create a virtual model of the particular user. They can also upload their photos to create a complete virtual model which includes face as well. It was necessary to add business value to the application along with the usual entertainment factors. Adding business value to entertainment factors is the main attraction in Fashion Fit to suit a new age of social networking.

Over the last decade, cloud computing has helped in variety of ways to humanity. Mainly in the ways of, achieving Disaster Recovery (DR) and in protecting the end users' data and Anywhere, Any device, Anytime access to the users' data. This research further helps people and organization to overcome common problems related to clouds such as, vendor-lock in and legal regulation. In today's world, more and more organizations are adopting the cloud services mainly because of the reliability and affordability provided by them. However, there are several drawbacks faced by the cloud users and cloud service providers. Apart from the security perspective, the cloud users are facing challenges in control and visibility, lack of standard service interfaces, difficulty in deploying applications across multiple clouds and vendor lock-in. Also, cloud service providers are facing challenges in degradation of the quality of service provided because of the distance between cloud data center and the end user and unexpected interruption of services etc. The above problems can be reduced to a greater extent or mitigated by adopting Multi Cross Cloud Infrastructure. This benefits the cloud users to receive the best quality services to increase their productivity. Hence, the main aim of this research is to build a common platform to manage the cross-cloud environment particularly Microsoft AZURE cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) with multiple features such as policies based container migration among the clouds and finding the best virtual machines (VM) across the clouds to deploy new containers. Cross-cloud management platform can be implemented within an organization or Enterprise and is used by the 3rd level support team such as Infrastructure team to provide multiple services (E.g. - Delivering application containers, Migration of containers on request) to end users based on some service level agreements (SLA) with more control and visibility.

Tempcache: A Database Optimization Algorithm for Real-Time Data Handling in Indoor Spatial Environments
(IEEE, 2018-08-08) Jayakody, A; Murray, I; Hermann, J; Lokuliyana, S; Dunuwila, V. R
The unstable arrangement of modern indoor environments has made navigation within buildings a difficult task. Hence, this paper introduces the AccessBIM framework, which is an efficient real-time indoor navigation system that facilitates in generating a real-time indoor map by crowdsourcing spatial data through the sensors available in mobile devices of navigators. The framework is equipped with a database optimization algorithm known as “Tempcache” which reduces the time and cost of searching data by examining the AccessBIM database for previously navigated paths, thus enabling faster data retrieval through efficient query processing. A simulation of a virtual environment similar to an actual indoor environment was used to test the algorithm. The significance of the algorithm was validated by comparing the total map generation time before and after the algorithm was applied for which the results demonstrated a reduction in map generation time with the use of the algorithm. The framework is also capable of capturing localization information with the support of i-Beacons which is then stored in a cloud server.
