Adaptive Quality of Service for IoT-based Wireless Sensor Networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The future of the Internet of Things (IoT) is envisaged to consist of a high amount of wireless resource-constrained devices connected to the Internet. Moreover, a lot of novel real-world services offered by IoT devices ... -
An authenticated key agreement scheme for sensor networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)In wireless sensor networks, the messages between pairs of communicating nodes are open to eavesdropping, tampering, and forgeries. These messages can easily be protected using cryptographic means but the nodes need to ... -
A cross-layer design for sensor-based ambient intelligence systems
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)The wireless sensor network (WSN) is an enabling technology of ambient intelligence (AmI) where an intelligent system can sense the presence of and respond to the context or situations of people in the environment. AmI ... -
Cyber Physical System for Pre-operative Patient Prehabilitation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)Abdominal cancer is the one of the most frequent and dangerous cancers in the world, particularly among the elderly, and is considered one of the leading causes of death in New Zealand and throughout the world. Major surgery ... -
Distributed incremental data stream mining for wireless sensor network
(Auckland University of Technology, 2012)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) despite their energy, bandwidth, storage, and computational power constraints, have embraced dynamic applications. These applications generate a large amount of data continuously at high ... -
Distributed Trust-based Routing Decision Making for WSN
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)This thesis describes novel approaches to deal with routing in distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) decision making and proposes new distributed protocols based on trust. The trust is defined as the level of belief ... -
Energy efficient opportunistic connectivity for wireless sensor network
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)This thesis provides a theoretical analysis of the effects of mobility, node density and a limited transmission range on the connectivity of a varying density of nodes in wireless sensor networks. Connectivity in cellular ... -
IoT-Based Sensor Networks: Architectural Organization, Virtualization and Network Re-orchestration
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)Internet of ‘Things’ (IoT), an extension of localised ‘Wireless’ Sensor Networks (WSN), has been employed to realize a multitude of smart, intelligent and pervasive Cyber Physical System (CPS) infrastructures. CPS encompasses ... -
Microwave sensing for non-destructive evaluation of anisotropic materials with application in wood industry
(Auckland University of Technology, 2012)Microwave non-destructive testing of wood is an active research field, but, despite remarkable advances reported in the literature to date, the wood testing devices are not widely implemented in industry. This thesis aims ... -
Motors fault recognition using distributed current signature analysis
(Auckland University of Technology, 2012)Immediate detection and diagnosis of existing faults and faulty behaviour of electrical motors using electrical signals is one of the important interests of the power industry. Motor current signature analysis is a modern ... -
Network trustworthiness evaluation in P2P networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)Trust and reputation management emerges as a significant research trend, in term of soft security to tackle the security issues in computer networks. It is different from the traditional security mechanisms such as ... -
Object-centric Intelligence: Sensor Network and Thermal Mapping
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)Quality of product is an important aspect in many commercial organizations where storage and shipment practices are required. Temperature is one of the main parameters that influence quality and temperature treatments of ... -
Post-Operative Hip Fracture Rehabilitation Activity Movement Monitoring
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)Hip fracture incidence is a life-threatening event that increases with age and is common among the older population. It causes significant problems as there is an increased risk of mortality, restriction of movement and ... -
Rendezvous in cognitive radio ad-hoc networks
(Auckland University of Technology, 2015)Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising technique to enhance the spectrum utilisation by enabling the CR users to opportunistic access the spectrum holes or channels. CR ad hoc network is a multi-channel environment where ... -
