    Autonomous Water Quality Monitoring: Integrating UWB Ad-Hoc Networks, Sensor Calibration, and Kubernetes Cloud Architecture
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2025) Tharindu, K; Abeysinghe, M; Karunarathne, S; Dilshan, K; Primal, D; Jayakody, A
    Water quality monitoring plays a critical role in ensuring environmental sustainability and public health. Traditional methods, while accurate, are time-consuming and lack the ability to provide real-time insights. This study proposes a secure, scalable IoT-based solution utilizing autonomous sensor-equipped boats designed to measure pH, turbidity, and temperature in aquatic environments. The boats navigate predefined grid coordinates generated through a Python-based script and communicate data using UWB in a decentralized ad hoc network operating under the AODV routing protocol. Preprocessed sensor data is transmitted to a base station and securely forwarded to a Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure for real-time processing and visualization. Communication between the base station and cloud services is secured using HTTPS/TLS encryption. Experimental trials confirm reliable navigation, high sensor accuracy, low latency, and robust security. The system remains cloud-agnostic and is compatible with a range of open-source Kubernetes distributions, enabling deployment flexibility across various environments. This research demonstrates an effective, autonomous approach to real-time water quality monitoring, advancing scalable and sustainable environmental management

    Intelligent Systems for Comprehensive Dog Management
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2025-06-28) Katipearachchi, M.E; Sachethana, O; Gunawardena, G. N.A; Ruwanara, D.C; Krishara, J; Kasthurirathna, D
    In recent years, the integration of advanced technologies with canine welfare has gained significant attention, leading to the development of comprehensive platforms for dog management. The "Research Pooch-Paw"initiative addresses the multifaceted needs of dog owners and stray dog populations through an innovative platform that incorporates machine learning, wearable sensors, and real-time data processing. The platform facilitates early disease detection, behaviour analysis, and health monitoring using IoT-enabled devices, and provides personalized care guidance. Additionally, it includes features for stray dog identification and emergency response using deep learning algorithms and image processing techniques. The research underscores the potential of leveraging modern technology to enhance the quality of life for dogs and improve the effectiveness of canine welfare strategies.
