Finding the dense locations in large indoor spaces is very useful for many applications such as overloaded area detection, security control, crowd management, indoor navigation, and so on. Indoor tracking data can be enormous and are not immediately ready for finding dense locations. This paper presents two graph-based models for constrained and se...

Finding the hotspots in large indoor spaces is very important for getting overloaded locations, security, crowd management, indoor navigation and guidance. The tracking data coming from indoor tracking are huge in volume and not readily available for finding hotspots. This paper presents a graph-based model for constrained indoor movement that can...

Technologies such as RFID and Bluetooth have received considerable attention for tracking indoor moving objects. In a time-critical indoor tracking scenario such as airport baggage handling, a bag has to move through a sequence of locations until it is loaded into the aircraft. Inefficiency or inaccuracy at any step can make the bag risky, i.e., th...

Today, airport baggage handling is far from perfect. Baggage goes on the wrong flights, is left behind, or gets lost, which costs a lot of money for the airlines, as well as frustration for the passengers. To remedy the situation, we present a data warehouse (DW) solution for storing and analyzing spatio-temporal Radio Frequency Identification (RFI...

Water utility companies in urban areas face two major challenges: ensuring there is enough water for everyone during prolonged drought and maintaining adequate water pressure during the hours of peak demand. These issues can be overcome by applying data analytics and machine learning to the data gathered from digital water meters. For water conserv...

Misleading and fake news in rapidly increasing online news portals in Bangladesh has become a major concern to both the government and public lately, as a substantial amount of incidents have taken place in different cities due to unwarranted rumors over the last couple of years. However, the overall progress of research and innovation in detecting...

The garment industry one of the key examples of the industrial globalisation of this modern era. It is a highly labour-intensive industry with lots of manual processes. Satisfying the huge global demand for garment products is mostly dependent on the production and delivery performance of the employees in the garment manufacturing companies. So, it...

Clustering is a technique for dividing a set of similar objects into same groups and dissimilar objects into different groups. Among different clustering algorithms, the K-means algorithm is considered as the most popular due to its simplicity. However, the outcome from the K-means algorithm is highly sensitive to the initial centroid selection. As...

A large part of people's lives are spent in indoor spaces such as office and university buildings, shopping malls, subway stations, airports, museums, community centers, etc. Such kind of spaces can be very large and paths inside the locations can be constrained and complex. Deployment of indoor tracking technologies like RFID, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi...

Finding the dense locations in large indoor spaces is very useful for getting overloaded locations, security, crowd management, indoor navigation, and guidance. Indoor tracking data can be very large and are not readily available for finding dense locations. This paper presents a graph-based model for semi-constrained indoor movement, and then uses...

Grid services are heavily used for handling large distributed computations. They are also very useful to handle heavy data intensive applications where data are distributed in different sites. Most of the data grid services used in such situations are meant for homogeneous data source. In case of Heterogeneous data sources, most of the grid service...

Security of wireless sensor network (WSN) is always considered a critical issue and has a number of considerations that separate them from traditional wireless sensor network. First, sensor devices are typically vulnerable to physical compromise. Second, they have significant power and processing constraints. Third, the most critical security issue...

Finding desired information from large data set is a difficult problem. Information retrieval is concerned with the structure, analysis, organization, storage, searching, and retrieval of information. Index is the main constituent of an IR system. Now a day exponential growth of information makes the index structure large enough affecting the IR sy...

Abundance of movie data across the internet makes it an obvious candidate for machine learning and knowledge discovery. But most researches are directed towards bi-polar classification of movie or generation of a movie recommendation system based on reviews given by viewers on various internet sites. Classification of movie popularity based solely...

Fully controlled digital home had always been considered as a luxury of rich people because of excessive cost to install the system. It is now within the reach of mass people with lots of inexpensive cool features. In this paper we have designed and developed a very low cost, efficient and reliable Digital home system. Fully Controlled Digital Home...

Energy meter reading is a monotonous and an expensive task. Now the meter reader people goes to each meter and take the meter reading manually to issue the bill which will later be entered in the billing software for billing and payment automation. If the manual meter reading and bill data entry process can be automated then it would reduced the la...
