Jurnal Teknologi, Vol. 78, No. 5-7, 2016. pp. 1-6. eISSN: 2180-3722.
This paper studies a comparison of optimization algorithms to enhance temperature control method of thermal vacuum chamber (TVC) for satellite testing. The gaseous nitrogen (GN2) is used in TVC to control the temperature requirement and proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is adopted in order to realize it. From the review that has been done, the genetic algorithm (GA) is believed to be the best method that can be implemented into the temperature control system of TVC.

CIU, Chittagong, Bangladesh, 16-17 May 2016.
This paper demonstrates the experience explored and the observation of temperature sensing using the IEEE 802.15.4 information hopping from a sensing mote to the base station. The environmental readings are furthered reprocessed and displayed on the base station screen for analysis. The study outcome and the experience gathered from the experiment are important to help the researchers to incorporate the information display, with the use of Wireless Embedded Internet’s IPv6 and 6LoWPAN standard, to be globally accessible anywhere and at anytime.

In this paper, we present our current works on observing a reactive routing using the Tymo routing protocol in TinyOS. We further examine the basics route discovery and maintenance of the protocol on nodes simulation particularly of telosb motes which we have programmed as source, target, and intermediate nodes. Our main aim is to observe basic routing behavior along the routing process, for example, data queue/dequeue, and routing table construction in the context of route construction.

Iyad H Alshami, Noor Azurati Ahmad, Shamsul Sahibuddin, Yusnaidi Md Yusof. “The Effect of People Presence on WLAN RSS is Governed by Influence Distance“, 3rd International Conference on Computer & Information Sciences (ICCOINS 2016). Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, 15-17 August 2016. pp: 197-202. DOI: 10.1109/ICCOINS.2016.7783214.
Recently, there is high demand for implementing Location Based Services (LBS) indoor. Many technologies and methods have been investigated for this issue since GPS could not prove accurate positioning indoor. Although WLAN-fingerprinting is considered as one of the most accurate IPS method, its accuracy vulnerable to WLAN RSS fluctuation. This fluctuation occurs due to the physical obstacles presence. Many research papers highlighted people’s presence near to mobile device (MD) between it and Access point (AP) as RSS attenuate factor, but it is hard to find a research paper investigated this attenuation factor as in the case of walls and ceilings. People presence effect was estimated in previous work as -5dBm on closed distance from MD but it still need a lot of investigation. This paper raises the existence of people presence influence distance as a new concept related to people presence effect.

Putrajaya, Malaysia. 14-16 November 2016. pp: 339-343. DOI: 10.1109/ICAEES.2016.7888065.
M-RFID inherits all issues that exist in the traditional RFID system, for example, replay attack, denial of service, spoofing, traceability and impersonation. However the severity of these issues intensifies because M-RFID reader is used in the wireless environment with agility in movement and greater scanning zone. Therefore, many security protocols developed to support the security and privacy problems arise in M-RFID systems.

Langkawi, Malaysia, 28-29 November 2016. pp: 22-32. e-ISBN 978-967-0792-11-8.
This paper proposes a hybrid SDM framework named RUPiSM. It is established by two well-known practice approaches, Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Scrum methodology, in order to emphasise the definite strengths; documentation, team communication, customer involvement, and product quality and at the same time to complement each other. It is achieved by exercising agile workflows into the preserving RUP incremental Lifecycle Iteration Pattern, while Sprints are implemented in Construction phase and the ordinary flow is applied in the rest of the phases.

Muzahidul Islam, Sabariah Baharun. “An Experimental Study of WSN Transmission Power Optimisation Using MICAz Motes“, 3rd International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE 2015). IUB, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 17-19 December 2015. DOI: 10.1109/ICAEE.2015.7506826. 2nd Best Paper Award.
Adjusting nodes positioning to satisfy the needs of network connectivity and power conservation in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is not a trivial task. Too far node distance may result in unreachable transmission while too near node distance not necessarily guarantee nodes connection. By knowing an acceptable distance range to position nodes in the networks, it can greatly help researchers to better configure settings of WSN environment, while reducing precision of readings between real WSN testbed and the simulation counterpart. This paper demonstrates a real implementation of transmission power control to assist the decision-making on nodes positioning to be used in a sensor network communication. The implementation of the study is done using the MICAz motes with a nesC programming in TinyOS in an indoor environment. Our findings suggest that to assure network connectivity, motes must not be located more than 1.18 metres distance when they are placed on the floor building and not more than 2.37 metres distance when they are situated about one metre above the floor building. Our results also indicates that the maximum length the signals can travel using maximum power 0 dBm is merely about six metres long.
