    Wireless sensor network as a new information acquisition technology has profound impact on people's work and life style, has the very high research value. Energy issues important factor restricting the development of the deep WSN is node, sensor nodes for processing data collected information and communication between nodes will speed up the energy consumption of nodes. Cover the deployment strategy is directly related to the optimal distribution of target area monitoring the degree of perception and limited resources of wireless sensor network, determines the service quality of the wireless sensor network to improve the. How to design an efficient coverage algorithm directly affects the coverage and network lifetime, because the actual environment of 3D wireless sensor network is more close to people, so the 3D WSN. Covering research has more realistic significance. At present, about the research of wireless sensor network many 3D covering literature, according to the general configuration of nodes is divided into deterministic coverage and random covering two aspects. This paper presents a wireless sensor network node for 3D scene coverage model and its deployment method, based on analyzing the common regular polyhedron models used in 3D space coverage, proposed a model based on covering the structure, on the basis of this theory to derive a quantitative relationship between coverage model and node sensing radius, more based on the quantitative relationship between the further calculation of network area remains fully covering the minimum number of nodes are required, the network regional 3D mesh finite mesh node coverage model in accordance with the deployment

    In wireless sensor network (WSN) applications with multiple gateways, it is key to route location dependent subscriptions efficiently at two levels in the system. At the gateway level, data sinks must not waste the energy of the WSN by injecting subscriptions that are not relevant for the nodes in their coverage area and at WSN level, energy-efficient delivery of subscriptions to target areas is required. In this paper, we propose a mechanism in which (1) the WSN provides an accurate and up-to-date coverage area description to gateways and (2) the wireless sensor network re-uses the collected coverage area information to enable efficient geographical routing of location dependent subscriptions and other messages. The latter has a focus on routing of messages injected from sink nodes to nodes in the region of interest. Our proposed mechanisms are evaluated in simulation

    The purpose of this paper is to explore ways that computational advancements have enabled the complete automation of agriculture from start to finish. With a major need for agricultural advancements because of food and water shortages, some farmers have begun creating their own solutions to these problems. Primarily explored in this paper, however, are current research topics in the automation of agriculture. Digital agriculture is surveyed, focusing on ways that data collection can be beneficial. Additionally, self-driving technology is explored with emphasis on farming applications. Machine vision technology is also detailed, with specific application to weed management and harvesting of crops. Finally, the effects of automating agriculture are briefly considered, including labor, the environment, and direct effects on farmers

    In the 21st century and the emergence of a digital economy, knowledge and the knowledge base economy are rapidly growing. To effectively be able to understand the processes involved in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge management in the business environment is critical to the success of an organization. This study builds on the previous research of the authors on the enablers of knowledge management by identifying the relationship between the enablers of knowledge management and the role played by information communication technologies (ICT) and ICT infrastructure in a business setting. This paper provides the findings of a survey collected from the four major Indian cities (Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Villupuram) regarding their views and opinions about the enablers of knowledge management in business setting. A total of 80 organizations participated in the study with 100 participants in each city. The results show that ICT and ICT infrastructure can play a critical role in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge in an Indian business environment
