Talk Synopsis:
This technical talk entitled “IoT Smart Building” is to make awareness for participants to understand the resources about the Internet of Things (IoT) equipment used and the perceptions of IoT its potential applications in the built environment (home appliances, lighting and others).
The challenging part is the integration and rendering the proposed system that can be realised in a more economical way.
Update!!
All accepted papers in ICVSSD 2019 have been published in the IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering website
(https://iopscience.iop.org/issue/1757-899X/815/1) with the ISBN number 978-976-394-342-5 and indexed in SCOPUS database
The area of vibration and system dynamics including the machine and structural health monitoring is now undergoing a major technological revamp in term of its approaches to handle the data obtained from the measurement devices. With the advent of the distributed sensors (or Internet of Things, IoT) and the availability of processing power and software to manage huge data (Big Data Analytics) , the chances of finding a better solution to asset management is getting better. Companies with data based prognostics can predict machine downtime or structural life with higher accuracy, thus reducing the unplanned downtime and increasing yield.
The improvement of machine life can come from better science of which is the foundation of this conference. The development of vibration modelling will allow better understanding and prediction of the behaviour of the system and also the effect on human beings. This conference will try to gather the research work in vibration, sound and system dynamics and also the development of new sensors and systems. It is our firm belief that the increased interaction within the conference environment can bring values in terms of research insight, networking and even to the extent of finding the future trends of the technology.
The application of the big data analytics is an important area and the International Conference on Vibration, Sound and System Dynamics (ICVSSD 2019) has taken the initiative to conduct a workshop on the Big Data Analytics in Condition Monitoring in order to better disseminate the idea to the industry and also to form special interest group so that the technology can be further develop within the local industry scenario.
The conference proceeding will be published by an international publisher and will be Scopus-indexed and also open access. This will ensure that the proceeding will be available to researchers worldwide.
We look forward to meeting you in ICVSSD 2019.
Thank you and “Terima kasih"
