The document describes the design of an intelligent monitoring system for laboratory environments based on embedded Linux and Qt/Embedded. It uses an ARM-based microprocessor as the front-end controller connected to various sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. A PC serves as the monitoring host to receive and analyze sensor data, while remote terminals allow off-site monitoring. The system implements GUI interfaces using Qt/Embedded on the front-end controller. Device drivers were also developed for the various sensors to allow the ARM processor to read and write sensor data through Linux system calls. The final system was able to successfully monitor and graph laboratory environmental conditions in real-time.
Hardware and logic implementation of multiple alarm system for gsm bts roomsZac Darcy
Cellular communication becomes the major mode of communication in present century. With the development of this phase of communication the globalization process is also in its peak of speed. The development of cellular communication is largely depending on the improvement and stability of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) room. So for the purpose of the development of cellular communication a large numbered BTS rooms are installed throughout the world. To ensure proper support from BTS rooms there must be a security system to avoid any unnecessary vulnerability. Therefore multiple alarm system is designed to secure the BTS rooms from any undesired circumstances. This system is designed with a PIC Microcontroller as a main controller and a several sensors are interfaced with it to provide high temperature alarm, smoke alarm, door alarm and water alarm. All these alarms are interfaced with the alarm box in the BTS room which provides the current status directly to Network Management Centre (NMC) of a Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication network.

Sensors and Actuators Integration in Embedded SystemsIDES Editor
Sensors and actuators are critical components of
several embedded systems (ES) and can trigger the incidence
of catastrophic events [1-3]. Sensor and actuator faults detection
is difficult [2, 3] and impacts critically the system performance.
While integrating sensors and actuators with the rest of (sub)
system, there is a need to identify all failure modes and rectify
them. Several researchers have addressed software integration
issues [6, 7]; however sensors and actuators integration issues
were not addressed so far. This paper focuses on the problem
of integration testing of sensors and actuators in ES.
A fault model, applicable to both sensors and
actuators is proposed based on embedded system model in [12]
and some of the observed faults are described. They are similar
to the control flow and data flow faults [10]. The integration
testing of sensor / actuator within ES is the problem of
diagnosing faulty machine in a sequence of two CFSM [11].
For solving the diagnostic methodology [13] is used. The
integration testing of sensors / actuators is a subset of general
diagnostic problem. The sensor/actuator integration method
is described with an example and shows that solution exists for
the case of integration. Manifestation of faults in real interfaces
is described from integration point of view.
We used gas sensor MQ-5 and temperature sensor and raspberry pi.
Things speak cloud services for mobile notification and also analysed the data by using MATLAB code to generate graph.

Temperature monitoring plays a major role in controlling it according to its varied conditions. This
process is common in all critical areas like data centre, server rooms, grid rooms and other data
communication equipped rooms. This is mandatory for each organization/industry to impart such

having various electronic, electrical and mechanical devices are involved for data transmissions. These
devices are very much depend on the environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, humidity etc.,
and also emit heat in the form of thermal energy when they are in functional. To overcome these heats,
the server/data centre room(s) would be engaged with multiple (distributed) air-conditioning (ac) systems

Industrial Process Management Using LabVIEWIOSR Journals
Nowadays process management is a tedious task in the industry. We plan to propose a LabVIEW
based intelligent multi parameter monitoring system designed using RS232 and Microcontroller aids in the
measurement and control of various Global Parameters. For data collection in the industry is a difficult task in
real time execution of events with industrial process control and automation. We proposed two slaves for
measuring various industrial parameters to monitor and control industrial process. Data acquired from each
slave is processed and sent to Master that compile data received from different slaves and send this information
to the system configured with LabVIEW platform. This enables us to view and track the online changes
encountered in the particular parameter of all the parameters. One of the main advantages of this proposal is, it
allows us to view all the parameter readings simultaneously on the front panel in LabVIEW. The Graph drawn
on the front panel keeps on tracking the changes on the parameter. The parameters supported by this project
includes: current, voltage, temperature, frequency, light intensity, logic switches, water level identifier, and
alarm. This Project can be implemented in any of the process industries where there is a need for Simultaneous

Data Acquisition and Control System for Real Time Applicationsijsrd.com
This paper proposes an Embedded Ethernet which is nothing but a processor that is capable to communicate with the network. This helps in data acquisition and status monitoring with the help of standard LAN. Currently device with processor is widely used in industrial field. The Embedded Ethernet provides web access to distributed measurement/control systems and provides optimization for instrumentation, educational laboratories and home automation. However, a large number of devices don't have the network interface and the data from them cannot be transmitted in network. A design of ARM Processor based Embedded Ethernet interface is presented. In this design, data can be transmitted transparently through Ethernet interface unit to remote end desktop computer. By typing the IP address of LAN on the ARM9 board, the user gets sensor values on the PC screen at remote station. This provides the status of the devices at remote field. The user can also control the devices interfaced to the ARM9 Board by pressing the button displayed on the GUI of the remote Desktop PC.
The aim of this project is to inform the doctor about the ICU patient condition through wireless. For the
medical professionals it becomes important to continuously monitor the conditions of a patient. In a large
setup like a hospital or clinical center where a single doctor attends many patients, it becomes difficult to
keep informed about the critical conditions developed in each of the patients. This project provides a device
which will continuously monitor the vital parameters to be monitored for a patient and do data logging
continuously. If any critical situation arises in a patient, this unit also raises an alarm and also
communicates to the concerned doctor by means of an SMS to the doctor.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

event occurs. In conjunction with infrared detectors
for functional complementation, the system has
better implementation of security features.
x The electrical equipment switches control various
electrical equipment in the laboratory. When the
laboratory environmental data is abnormal, such as
the temperature is too high, the system will cut off
the large-scale power equipment, open the air-
conditioning for cooling; When an illegal invasion
occurs, the burglar alarm will ring to notify the
administrators; Users can also use SMS / MMS or
wireless network to achieve the remote control
functions of laboratory equipments.
x ARM front-end machine is equipped with a touch
LCD monitor, which enables us to develop friendly
GUI with QT under embedded linux system to
provide functions such as querying and setting the
laboratory environment parameters.
B. the intelligent monitoring host
In the middle level, the monitoring host is a computer
that has a fixed IP and connected to Internet through the
Ethernet card. The monitoring software real-time receives
data of all monitored points, so as to pursue data statistics
and analysis as well as responding to and dealing with
abnormal condition. It can be very intuitive to monitor
environmental conditions of each laboratory and graphically
display the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide
concentration and other state information of the lab. Bolt
values can be set up so the monitoring host always monitors
the information such as temperature, humidity, real-time
image to determine abnormal circumstances.
C. Remote terminals
Remote monitoring terminals include mobile phones,
fixed phones, regular PC or mobile PC. They are connected
with the monitoring center through the GSM network, PSTN,
and TCP / IP. Administrators can log on the monitoring
center through any remote terminal to operate monitoring
software, view the data of monitoring center and examine the
lab environment.
The system which uses the above three-tier architecture
is easy-to-modular and decomposition of a complex
framework at the same time. Because each layer only
interacts with the adjacent upper and lower layers, the
maximum impact of the change of a layer is tiny. And as
long as the definitions of the interfaces between different
layers are of the same, every layer has different methods to
implement.
III. THE DESIGN OF GUI AND DEVICE DRIVER OF THE LAB
ENVIRONMENT INTELLIGENT MONITORING SYSTEM
The design of GUI for embedded systems is different
from that of traditional data computing class software, which
often handles mouse or keyboard events to complete a
specific calculation, while the former mostly handle events
caused by touch screen and other kinds of external devices.
Because the embedded systems is resource-constrained, the
design mode of the GUI of the traditional PC ,the memory
consumption of which is relatively large and take up more
CPU time, is not suitable for embedded systems. The lab
intelligent monitoring system studied in this paper uses Qt /
Embedded under embedded Linux as its GUI development
platform, which can fully satisfy the restriction of embedded
system resources. The application development framework
of Qt / Embedded is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. The application development framework of Qt / Embedded
As QT uses C + + as its programming language, it can
implement hybrid programming with linux-C. The header
files include both QT-API library and linux system calls
libraries. Write the linux system calls as parts of the slots
functions which can respond to specific signals in order to
achieve the combination of Qt / Embedded and linux-C.
Of course, to achieve reading and writing of a specific
device file, there must be device drivers which provide
reading and writing operation interface functions. Therefore,
we need to complete the preparing, configuring and
modifying of the drivers of sensors, cameras and other
external expansion device of S3C2440 microprocessor.
The Laboratory Intelligent Monitoring System uses QT
to complete GUI on the ARM head-end machine to achieve
the graphical display of data collected by a variety of sensors.
This article focuses on elaborating the design of the linux
drivers of various types of sensors and qtopia application in
the system.
A. Initialization
In the Qt application, firstly a QApplication object is
created in main.cpp which is in charge of the main settings
and flow controlling of the graphical user interface. Similarly,
in the Qtopia a QPEApplication object is created to handle
and schedule the events from the system and other source
files, including the initialization and the end of the
application.
B. Create components
With the help of QT designer ,the programmer can
quickly develop relevant GUI components and adjust the
size and position, including functions such as displaying the
3. 85
current temperature, humidity, concentrations of carbon
dioxide and harmful gases concentration in the laboratory
environment and showing whether the infrared sensors open
or not. And then define the signals and slots functions, save
it as Ui file. The final GUI of lab environment intelligent
monitoring system is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. System Interface Components
C. Event handling
First of all, device driver modules for sensors, camera
and so on need to be dynamically loaded into embedded
linux operating system kernel which runs on the front-end
machines ,providing interface functions of initializing ,
reading and writing for linux device file so that event
handling based on the system time and key can be
accomplished in embedded GUI .
As to the display of the data collected by a variety of
sensors through the embedded GUI, QTimer function can be
called to automatically update the environmental monitoring
value in constant time interval. The process of event
handling of various types of sensors is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 . The process of event handling of various types of sensors
The statement QTimer timer creates an object and then
call start () method in the constructor to specify the time-out
period. When the timeout event occurs, all kinds of data
updating functions handleSensor () will be automatically
called.
void ILMS::ILMS()
{
connect(&timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,
SLOT(handleSensor () ) );
timer.start(180*1000);
/ / the other parts of the constructor definition are not
listed
}
handleSensor () will update the current environmental
monitoring data of the sensors, which requires the driven
interface functions of sensors.
D. The design of Linux device driver for sensors
Various types of sensors have their own specific device
drivers due to the different working principles. Take Digital
temperature sensor as an example to elaborate the design
method of Linux device driver for sensors. Function
handleTemperature () mainly uses the digital temperature
sensor driver function read (), which is renamed form the
function BYTE DS18b20_read_byte (void) .
static struct file_operations s3c2440_18b20_fops =
{
. owner = THIS_MODULE,
. read = s3c2440_18b20_read,
};
The prototype of this function is DS18b20_read_byte,
providing a reading method for DS18b20 device file.
BYTE DS18b20_read_byte (void)
{
BYTE i = 0;
BYTE byte = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
s3c2440_gpio_cfgpin(DS18B20_PIN,
DS18B20_PIN_OUTP);
s3c2440_gpio_setpin(DS18B20_PIN, LOW);
udelay(1);
byte >>= 1;
s3c2440_gpio_setpin(DS18B20_PIN, HIGH);
s3c2440_gpio_cfgpin(DS18B20_PIN,
DS18B20_PIN_INP);
if(s3c2440_gpio_getpin(DS18B20_PIN)) byte |=
0x80;
udelay(60);
}
return byte;
}
The read () function returns the byte stream buf which
contains the LS byte and MS byte corresponding to buf [0]
and buf [1]. The value of former four bits of buf [0] is 2-4
~
2-1
.In the laboratory environment, the general accuracy of
temperature measurement can be negligible. The former four
4. 86
bits of buf [1] are sign flags, while we just use bit11 as the
sign flag. Move buf [0] to the right four bits and then add it
with the value of buf [1] ,we will get the current temperature
of the laboratory environment.
In addition, system drivers also provide reset(), write(),
proc() functions for DS18B20 which is available for the calls
of other applications
IV. THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Firstly compile the project as x86 version and make it
run on PC as a simulation with the help of qvfb. Then
replace the compiler with arm-linux-g++ and recompile the
program to generate a version that is suitable for S3C2440
ARM development board. The final result that running on
the embedded front-end machine is shown in Figure 5.

V. CONCLUSION
In the post-PC era, the embedded system technology
develops rapidly and the design of embedded GUI and the
linux device drivers are important and indispensable
components of it. This paper focuses on solving the issues of
poor real time, high cost, low precision and incapability of
determining whether the lab environment is in line with the
body’s health indicators in the laboratory management of
domestic institutions of higher learning. It develops a
laboratory intelligent monitoring system with S3C2440
microprocessor as its main controller, elaborating the
difficult points of the development of the GUI applications
based on Qt / Embedded and Linux drivers for various types
of sensors in the project. With a perfect support of the
embedded system technology, we believe that the intelligent
monitoring system will have better performance and broader
market prospect.
