SmartWater: A Service-Oriented and Sensor Cloud-Based Framework for Smart Monitoring of Water Environments

Abstract

Due to the sharp increase in global industrial production, as well as the over-exploitation of land and sea resources, the quality of drinking water has deteriorated considerably. Furthermore, nowadays, many water supply systems serving growing human populations suffer from shortages since many rivers, lakes, and aquifers are drying up because of global climate change. To cope with these serious threats, smart water management systems are in great demand to ensure vigorous control of the quality and quantity of drinking water. Indeed, water monitoring is essential today since it allows to ensure the real-time control of water quality indicators and the appropriate management of resources in cities to provide an adequate water supply to citizens. In this context, a novel IoT-based framework is proposed to support smart water monitoring and management. The proposed framework, named SmartWater, combines cutting-edge technologies in the field of sensor clouds, deep learning, knowledge reasoning, and data processing and analytics. First, knowledge graphs are exploited to model the water network in a semantic and multi-relational manner. Then, incremental network embedding is performed to learn rich representations of water entities, in particular the affected water zones. Finally, a decision mechanism is defined to generate a water management plan depending on the water zones’ current states. A real-world dataset has been used in this study to experimentally validate the major features of the proposed smart water monitoring framework.

“…The proposed algorithms can be improved and adopted to the problems studied in [4,9,10,17,37]. Several applications of scheduling problems in real life can be exploited to enhance the proposed algorithms [3, 21, 24-26, 29, 36].…”

A New Intrusion Detection System for the Internet of Things via Deep Convolutional Neural Network and Feature Engineering

“…The IoT foresees the networking of a wide range of smart things in our environment that are capable of accumulating, processing, and communicating data [ 1 ]. The IoT is a widely used technology in automated network systems across the world that has had an impact on different areas, such as the agricultural, medical, transport, and automobile industries, and water monitoring in recent years [ 2 , 3 ]. The use of IoT devices has increased dramatically, from 15.41 billion in 2015 to more than 35.8 billion in 2021, as homes and businesses increasingly rely on online technology [ 4 ].…”
