    Design and implementation of a smart beehive and its monitoring system using microservices in the context of IoT and open data
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-05) Aydın, Şahin; Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz
    It is essential to keep honey bees healthy for providing a sustainable ecological balance. One way of keeping honey bees healthy is to be able to monitor and control the general conditions in a beehive and also outside of a beehive. Monitoring systems offer an effective way of accessing, visualizing, sharing, and managing data that is gathered from performed agricultural and livestock activities for domain stakeholders. Such systems have recently been implemented based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT to monitor the activities of honey bees in beehives as well. Scholars have shown considerable interests in proposing IoT- and WSN-based beehive monitoring systems, but much of the research up to now lacks in proposing appropriate architecture for open data driven beehive monitoring systems. Developing a robust monitoring system based on a contemporary software architecture such as microservices can be of great help to be able to control the activities of honey bees and more importantly to be able to keep them healthy in beehives. This research sets out to design and implementation of a sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring platform using a microservice architecture. We pointed out that by adopting microservices one can deal with long-standing problems with heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, agility, reliability, maintainability issues, and in turn achieve sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring systems.

    The survey on Near Field Communication
    (MDPI, 2015-06) Coşkun, Vedat; Özdenizci Köse, Büşra; Ok, Kerem
    Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging short-range wireless communication technology that offers great and varied promise in services such as payment, ticketing, gaming, crowd sourcing, voting, navigation, and many others. NFC technology enables the integration of services from a wide range of applications into one single smartphone. NFC technology has emerged recently, and consequently not much academic data are available yet, although the number of academic research studies carried out in the past two years has already surpassed the total number of the prior works combined. This paper presents the concept of NFC technology in a holistic approach from different perspectives, including hardware improvement and optimization, communication essentials and standards, applications, secure elements, privacy and security, usability analysis, and ecosystem and business issues. Further research opportunities in terms of the academic and business points of view are also explored and discussed at the end of each section. This comprehensive survey will be a valuable guide for researchers and academicians, as well as for business in the NFC technology and ecosystem.

    Microservices-based databank for Turkish hazelnut cultivars using IoT and semantic web technologies
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2024-03-30) Aydın, Şahin; Aldara, Dieaa
    Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can play a crucial role in facilitating access to comprehensive information on the quality standards of Turkish hazelnut cultivars. In this regard, this study introduces a Hazelnut Databank System (HDS) that utilizes the microservices architecture, an integrated software system supported by the Internet of Things (IoT) and semantic web, to categorize Turkish hazelnut cultivars. The study focuses on developing microservices using various programming languages and frameworks. Specifically, C# on the.NET Core Framework was used for both microservices and the web-based application implemented through the ASP.NET Core MVC Framework. Mobile-based software applications were created using Xamarin. Forms, and the IoT application was developed using the Python programming language. The data storage is facilitated through the MS SQL Server database. Additionally, the study incorporates the implementation of a hazelnut species classification system using the DNN + ResNet50 machine learning model, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 95.77%. The overall usability of the system was evaluated, resulting in a score of 42 out of 50. By providing detailed information on Turkish hazelnut cultivars, the HDS has the potential to greatly improve hazelnut production quality in Turkey and increase awareness of hazelnut agriculture among relevant stakeholders.

    Analysis of the benefits, challenges and risks for the integrated use of BIM, RFID and WSN: a mixed method research
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023-07-11) Seyis, Senem; Sönmez, Alperen Mert
    Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify, classify and prioritize the benefits, challenges and risks for the integrated use of building information modeling (BIM), radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor network (WSN) in the architecture, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) industry. Design/methodology/approach This study relies on the mixed method approach which consists of systematic literature review, semistructured interviews and Delphi technique. A systematic literature review was performed and face-to-face semistructured interviews with seven subject matter experts (SMEs) were conducted for identification and classification purposes. Delphi method was applied in two structured rounds with eleven SMEs for prioritization purpose. These three research techniques were chosen to reach the most accurate data by combining different perspectives on the subject matter. Data gathered by these three methods was triangulated to increase the validity and reliability of this research. Findings Thirteen benefits, ten challenges and four risks for the integrated use of BIM, RFID and WSN were identified. The results could aid the practitioners and researchers comprehend the pros and cons of this integration by representing SMEs' valuable insights and perspectives about the current and future status, trends, limitations and requirements of the AECO industry. The identified risks and challenges show the requirements for future studies while the benefits demonstrate the capabilities and the potential contributions of this hybrid integration to the AECO industry. Originality/value The integration of BIM, RFID and WSN is still not commonly implemented in the AECO industry. Some studies focused on this topic; however, none of them reveals the benefits, risks and challenges for integrating BIM, RFID and WSN in a holistic manner. This research makes a significant contribution to the AECO literature and industry by uncovering the benefits, challenges and risks for the integrated use of BIM, RFID and WSN that could increase industry applications.

    Visible light communication with solar cell receiver for indoor IoT applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Bonakdar, Roozbeh; Edemen, Çağatay; Akbulut, Muhammed Emin; Keskin, Onur; Kaya, Onur; Uysal, Murat
    The rapid increase of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has ushered in a new era of connectivity, with an increasing reliance on efficient communication models. In this context, Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) presents a promising avenue for transmitting data at the speed of light, utilizing the optical spectrum to alleviate congestion in urban environments. Leveraging Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as transmitters and solar cells as receivers, this paper explores the feasibility of indoor OWC systems. Moreover, we present an experimental setup focusing on bandwidth measurement, data transmission, and energy harvesting. Our results indicate a maximum data rate of 19.2 Kbps using On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation at a 15 cm link distance. Notably, by avoiding the utilization of external circuitry for performance enhancement of the solar cell, we tried to maintain the system's suitability for IoT applications. Our findings contribute to understanding solar cell-based data reception from LEDs, offering simulation results for practical implementation and performance considerations for indoor IoT communication systems.
