GNL: GeoFencing Based Smart Outdoor Navigation and Localization

Navigation is a technique used by humans to construct a plan to help them travel within a place using instruments or maps. Navigation in the modern age is done using various electronic systems which provide a real-time map of the place and the step-by-step directions to the desired destination. The technology widely used today is GPS i.e. Global Positioning System. Outdoor navigation using Google maps, here maps or safari is a common go-to for the users but the problem is the map provided by these companies just has an overview of the place and not the detailed information. The GNL approach which authors have used in this paper focuses on the navigation and localization of the gated environment so that the person living and visiting the area will get familiar with the area and understand the area very well. The web app that authors have designed can be used for the College Campus, Fairs, open museums, etc. Comparative analysis of the web app-based approach is done with an existing one. The Presented approach will not only help you in navigation but also provide you with information about the POI (Point of Interests) of those visiting places. The Geofence mechanism will help users to navigate and get information about the area. The aim is to give the user the maximum information about the place with secured transfer of information and better localization. The authors have tested the approach on the real testbed in the gated society and it provides good results for what it promises

Legal and Political Issues Facing Telemedicine

The emergence of telemedicine-medical diagnosis and treatment via telecommunications-offers the promise of reduced cost, improved patient outcomes, and greater access to quality medical care. But a variety of legal barriers to telemedicine must be addressed to assure its effective use

LoRa Based Vehicular Communications

Past few years road traffic is increasing at an alarming rate. Traffic congestion, wasted time at traffic lights, and increased air pollution is part of the consequences of increased traffic. Traditionally the traffic lights are not smart and the communication between them is also not happening. Cooperative navigation and monitoring can be easily done by the inclusion of LORA Technology in Vehicular communication. With the help of LoRa technology, the Low Power consumption network can be established for large coverage area. In this paper authors analyze the LoRa- based traffic and the emergency vehicle detection scheme. We conduct the Performance analysis of the LoRa technology using the experimental and simulated setup in urban mobility environment. We also conduct field test on two scenarios along with the simulation done using network simulator NS-3 simulations. The result determines the effect of the Spreading factor SF used in analyzing the RSSI and PDR as the metrics of interest

Sandia`s network for Supercomputer `96: Linking supercomputers in a wide area Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network

The advanced networking department at Sandia National Laboratories has used the annual Supercomputing conference sponsored by the IEEE and ACM for the past several years as a forum to demonstrate and focus communication and networking developments. At Supercomputing 96, for the first time, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory combined their Supercomputing 96 activities within a single research booth under the ASO banner. Sandia provided the network design and coordinated the networking activities within the booth. At Supercomputing 96, Sandia elected: to demonstrate wide area network connected Massively Parallel Processors, to demonstrate the functionality and capability of Sandia`s new edge architecture, to demonstrate inter-continental collaboration tools, and to demonstrate ATM video capabilities. This paper documents those accomplishments, discusses the details of their implementation, and describes how these demonstrations support Sandia`s overall strategies in ATM networking

Sandia`s network for supercomputing `95: Validating the progress of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching

The Advanced Networking Integration Department at Sandia National Laboratories has used the annual Supercomputing conference sponsored by the IEEE and ACM for the past three years as a forum to demonstrate and focus communication and networking developments. For Supercomputing `95, Sandia elected: to demonstrate the functionality and capability of an AT&T Globeview 20Gbps Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch, which represents the core of Sandia`s corporate network, to build and utilize a three node 622 megabit per second Paragon network, and to extend the DOD`s ACTS ATM Internet from Sandia, New Mexico to the conference`s show floor in San Diego, California, for video demonstrations. This paper documents those accomplishments, discusses the details of their implementation, and describes how these demonstrations supports Sandia`s overall strategies in ATM networking

McIDAS-eXplorer: A version of McIDAS for planetary applications

McIDAS-eXplorer is a set of software tools developed for analysis of planetary data published by the Planetary Data System on CD-ROM's. It is built upon McIDAS-X, an environment which has been in use nearly two decades now for earth weather satellite data applications in research and routine operations. The environment allows convenient access, navigation, analysis, display, and animation of planetary data by utilizing the full calibration data accompanying the planetary data. Support currently exists for Voyager images of the giant planets and their satellites; Magellan radar images (F-MIDR and C-MIDR's, global map products (GxDR's), and altimetry data (ARCDR's)); Galileo SSI images of the earth, moon, and Venus; Viking Mars images and MDIM's as well as most earth based telescopic images of solar system objects (FITS). The NAIF/JPL SPICE kernels are used for image navigation when available. For data without the SPICE kernels (such as the bulk of the Voyager Jupiter and Saturn imagery and Pioneer Orbiter images of Venus), tools based on NAIF toolkit allow the user to navigate the images interactively. Multiple navigation types can be attached to a given image (e.g., for ring navigation and planet navigation in the same image). Tools are available to perform common image processing tasks such as digital filtering, cartographic mapping, map overlays, and data extraction. It is also possible to have different planetary radii for an object such as Venus which requires a different radius for the surface and for the cloud level. A graphical user interface based on Tel-Tk scripting language is provided (UNIX only at present) for using the environment and also to provide on-line help. It is possible for end users to add applications of their own to the environment at any time
