The growth of IoT motivates this project which aims at designing an indoor positioning method to monitor human movement in an indoor environment. Unlike other positioning methods, it is simple to apply 1-dimensional (1D) positioning result into a 2-dimensional (2D) floor plan. Moreover, this method is designed without pre-requested calibrations, and makes use of data processing techniques, such as Kalman filter and moving average, to improve the positioning accuracy. 1. INTRODUCTION This project is to study and design an indoor real-time positioning method for managing facilities and workers. Internet of Things (IoT) is a key modern technology to perform the monitoring work. The positioning method not only records which choke points they have passed through, but the real-time locations are also a piece of important information to guarantee that everyone and all equipment are working at a right place and right time. In addition, some restricted areas can be also controlled by ensuring no unauthorized entrance. IoT is a unique tailored interconnection system to link between embedded computing devices and internet infrastructure. There are many different technologies involved to develop an IoT network. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the popular technologies to ‘tag’ objects in order to perform a track-and-trace function in various industries, such as supply chain and healthcare industries.

This system enables the mobility of ZigBee devices and WiMAX long-distance transmission. Architecture, mobility framework and Adaptive Modulation/Coding (AMC) performance are discussed in details. It is evaluated that the new algorithm offers good efficiency and thus resulting in low management cost. The MPMS aids life saving by providing panic button and location tracking service. The system may be used in telemedicine applications.

As the emblem of Englishness, the gentleman loses its authority as the British Empire contracts, and reinvests itself as the symbol of a resurgent national culture of postwar England. While this narrative of decline and revival is persuasive, it also risks stabilizing the concepts of the "gentleman" and "Englishness."

The way different design features are used varies from simple and complex plaint text to colour backgrounds and moveable graphic styles to produce special visual effects to draw the viewer’s attention. The variables of Web page design features, differentiating between effective and less effective, are the core Issues to be examined in this research. This paper describes the design of the experiment and suggests a set of user friendly implementation guidelines and tool usage which will benefit on-line advertising.

According to our experiences made, we got the impression, that there is a need to re-name ‘publicvoting” to ‘social voting”, as it is not ‘the public” (i.e. the crowd) that decideswho wins. In fact, we found out social aspects, i.e. strong and weak ties in so-cial communities to dictate the voting results. Therefore the publication ad-dresses the research question, whether public voting on the Web is a democratic process at all.

To reduce the human effort in preparing training examples, we have developed a semi-supervised framework for learning an MLN from unlabeled data and a limited number of training examples. One characteristic of our approach is that instead of maximizing the pseudo-log-likelihood function

Two multi-threshold CAC schemes, namely the dual threshold bandwidth reservation and the Tri-threshold bandwidth reservation scheme, are studied. Based on the findings, the novel concept of adaptive threshold for CAC is further investigated. It is concluded that the adaptive CAC scheme can be applied to Long Term Evolution.

A solution is achieved within the paradigm of a public-private partnership service model. The paper includes a consolidated literature review of the basics of PPP and various PPP research frameworks that lay the background in the development of our PPP-WWW reference model. A review of the challenges associated with the highly profiled HK Police Force project, a Third Generation Command and Control Communications System (CC3) in support of frontline beat patrol police officers, is examined. Finally an innovative PPP business model will be presented and justifications for its acceptance will be delineated.

In response, this paper details the creation and launch of a web-based, client-driven, extendable database of client-to-client network latency data (ping data). It demonstrates the potential for distributed processing and data collection contained entirely within the web browser using asynchronous scripting techniques. The paper offers preliminary visual interpretations of an initial global latency dataset.

A deeper consideration of human factors, the impact of "Internet of Things" and cyber security education about the behaviour and actions that can be taken by individuals is at the foundation of public safety and cyber security. The growth of disruption by cyber criminals-especially when using small devices and applications to interact with large social networks is a cause for concern. This is part of the evolving development of a cyber-physical world. The paper presents three case studies and proposes a Self-awareness and Intervention Model for public safety and security by increasing and maintaining the awareness, understanding and preparedness of cyber security measures by the individual when using mobile device applications to participate in large social systems and concludes by highlighting the importance of including the human factors and message framing alongside the cyber security measures in place.
