Shoe-mounted wearable sensors can be used in applications, such as activity monitoring, gait analysis, post-stroke rehabilitation, body weight measurements and energy expenditure studies. Such wearable sensors typically require the modification or al...
The flash storage is a type of nonvolatile semiconductor device that is operated continuously and has been substituting the hard disk or secondary memory in several storage markets, such as PC/laptop computers, mobile devices, and is also used as an...
Flash memory has become a more widespread storage medium for modern wireless devices because of its effective characteristics like non-volatility, small size, light weight, fast access speed, shock resistance, high reliability and low power consumpti...
Combating the OS-level malware is a very challenging problem as this type of malware can compromise the operating system, obtaining the kernel privilege and subverting almost all the existing anti-malware tools. This work aims to address this problem...
The design of an efficient memory subsystem is a fundamentally challenging task in the design of electronic equipment. The storage hierarchy chosen for a particular design has a significant impact on the overall performance and cost. Flash memory oft...
NAND flash memory reliability is increasingly challenged by rising data density and frequent program/erase cycles. While Error Correction Codes (ECC) are standard, the simultaneous use of ECC-embedded NAND and ECC-capable host systems is generally av...
Accurate traffic light detection and classification are fundamental for autonomous vehicle (AV) navigation and real-time traffic management in complex urban environments. Existing systems often fall short of reliably identifying and classifying traff...
This paper presents a framework that enables programmers to deploy embedded real-time firmware of Internet of Things (IoT) devices more conveniently than using plain C/C++-language programming, by abstracting away from low-level details and the ad ho...
With the rapid advances in mobile app technologies, new activities using smartphones emerge every day including social network and location-based services. However, smartphones experience problems in handling high priority tasks, and often close apps...
The emergence of non-volatile memories (NVM) brings new opportunities and challenges to data management system design. As an important part of the data management systems, several new file systems are developed to take advantage of the characteristic...
Semantic interoperability for the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabled by standards and technologies from the Semantic Web. As recent research suggests a move towards decentralised IoT architectures, we have investigated the scalability and robustness...
Efficient metadata and page management are essential for sustaining database performance on modern flash-based storage. However, conventional SQLite configurations—rollback journal and WAL—often trigger excessive small writes and frequent...
Semantic Web has recently gained traction with the use of Linked Open Data (LOD) on the Web. Although numerous state-of-the-art methodologies, standards, and technologies are applicable to the LOD cloud, many issues persist. Because the LOD cloud is...
Vibration analysis is commonly used to assess machinery conditions, earthquake detection, and structural monitoring. Commercially available DAQs (Data Acquisition Systems) feature high costs and limited versatility in terms of end-user hardware/firmw...
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life marked by the cessation of menstruation, typically accompanied by hormonal fluctuations that have significant impacts on physical and mental health. While much attention has been given to the physi...
Recently, the record-level rise in Internet of Things (IoT) devices has produced unparalleled security challenges, particularly for resource-constrained devices operating under limited computational resources, memory, and power. In this context, trad...
The flash translation layer (FTL) in SSDs introduces logical-to-physical address mapping, but this mapping alters data layout, leading to performance degradation. This issue is particularly evident in the Linux swap subsystem. While SSDs offer higher...
African American (AA) women often experience earlier onset and more severe menopause symptoms, especially vasomotor symptoms (VMSs) like hot flashes, compared to other groups. However, limited research has examined the effectiveness and acceptability...
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) have become the dominant storage medium in performance-sensitive systems due to their high throughput, reliability, and energy efficiency. However, inherent constraints in NAND flash memory—such as out-of-place writes,...
