Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Smart Cities
- Internet of Things (IoT)
Background:
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial for intelligent environments but suffers from platform fragmentation.
- Vendor-specific solutions create interoperability issues and hinder IoT adoption due to lock-in fears.
- Semantic interoperability solutions are essential for seamless data exchange across heterogeneous IoT infrastructures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a Global IoT Services (GIoTS) use case demonstrating semantic interoperability in smart city IoT deployments.
- To showcase the development of a smart urban mobility service by integrating data from multiple heterogeneous IoT platforms.
- To highlight the system's key aspects enabling interoperability among diverse IoT platforms.
Main Methods:
- Developed a Global IoT Services (GIoTS) application integrating data from five distinct smart city IoT deployments.
- Leveraged semantic interoperability to enable meaningful data exchange between heterogeneous IoT platforms.
- Implemented a smart urban mobility service providing parking guidance and mobility suggestions.
Main Results:
- Successfully demonstrated semantic interoperability across five smart city IoT deployments in Spain and South Korea.
- Developed a unified smart urban mobility service that seamlessly consumes data from diverse IoT sources.
- Validated the system's capability to overcome fragmentation and enable cross-platform data utilization.
Conclusions:

01:50Global Climate Change
28.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

02:04Fixing Double-strand Breaks
14.6K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

2.5K
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

509
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...
