This document provides a high-level overview of protocols for the Internet of Things (IoT). It discusses some of the key challenges for IoT including scalability, configurability, interoperability, discovery, and security. It then reviews several common IoT protocols, including HTTP, WebSockets, MQTT, CoAP, and mentions others like AMQP and XMPP. For each protocol, it summarizes their purpose, model (e.g. publish-subscribe vs client-server), efficiency considerations, and role in the protocol stack. It emphasizes that existing protocols like MQTT and CoAP are preferable to reinventing the wheel for IoT.

Finding a scalable open-source IoT framework that reliably and securely connects your devices to the cloud while fitting your business needs, not dictating them, turns out to be a little more challenging than it first looks.
For a business or professional service, an IoT system needs to be able to offer four things
1) Scalability
Be able to scale the solution in a manner that doesn't have operating costs/bandwidth run out of control.
2) Be secure
Operate in a secure environment that prevents the system losing date or being hi-jacked.
3) Use open-standards throughout
Be based on open-source standards to avoid proprietary lock-in and allow the business to control its own destiny, contribute, collaborate, partner or quickly and easily find help in the community, if required.
4) Manage & Inter-operate
The framework must allow that allow remote day-to-day device management and interoperability with other sensors & systems

Flood is one of the natural disasters which cannot be avoided totally. Every year,
death rate due to flood increases because of absence of early warning. To solve this
problem, this paper demonstrates the idea and implementation of a Flood Monitoring
and Alerting system using Internet of Things (IOT) technology. This system comprises

measuring sensor. The second part is sending the height information to web page

This document discusses parallel computer memory architectures, including shared memory, distributed memory, and hybrid architectures. Shared memory architectures allow all processors to access a global address space and include uniform memory access (UMA) and non-uniform memory access (NUMA). Distributed memory architectures require a communication network since each processor has its own local memory without a global address space. Hybrid architectures combine shared and distributed memory by networking multiple shared memory multiprocessors.

Edge computing allows data produced by internet of things (IoT) devices to be processed closer to where it is created instead of sending it across long routes to data centers or clouds.
Doing this computing closer to the edge of the network lets organizations analyze important data in near real-time – a need of organizations across many industries, including manufacturing, health care, telecommunications and finance.Edge computing deployments are ideal in a variety of circumstances. One is when IoT devices have poor connectivity and it’s not efficient for IoT devices to be constantly connected to a central cloud.
Other use cases have to do with latency-sensitive processing of information. Edge computing reduces latency because data does not have to traverse over a network to a data center or cloud for processing. This is ideal for situations where latencies of milliseconds can be untenable, such as in financial services or manufacturing.

Overview of Data and Analytics Essentials and FoundationsNUS-ISS
As companies increasingly integrate data across functions, the boundaries between marketing, sales and operations have been blurring. This allows them to find new opportunities that arise by aligning and integrating the activities of supply and demand to improve commercial effectiveness. Instead of conducting post-hoc analyses that allow them to correct future actions, companies generate and analyze data in near real-time and adjust their operations processes dynamically. Transitioning from static analytics outputs to more dynamic contextualized insights means analytics can be delivered with increased relevance closer to the point of decision.
This talk will cover the analytics journey from descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics to derive actionable and timely insights to improve customer experience to drive marketing, salesforce and operations excellence.
With the use of Predictive Analytics, companies are able to predict future trends based on existing available data. The actionable business predictions can help companies achieve cost savings, higher revenue, better resource allocation and efficiency. Predictive analytics has been used in various sectors such as banking & finance, sales & marketing, logistics, retail, healthcare, F&B, etc. for various purposes.
Get set to learn more about the different stages of predictive analytics modelling such as data collection & preparation, model development & evaluation metrics, and model deployment considerations will be discussed.
In this digital transformation era, we have seen the rise of digital platforms and increased usages of devices particularly in the area of wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT). Given the fast pace change to the IoT landscape and devices, data has become one of the important source of truth for analytics and continuous streaming of data from sensors have also emerged as one of the fuel that revolutionise the emergence of IoT. These includes health telematics, vehicle telematics, predictive maintenance of equipment, manufacturing quality management, consumer behaviour, and more. With this, we will give you an introduction on how to leverage the power of data science and machine learning to understand and explore feature engineering of IoT and sensor data.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
