The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept where all things, including every physical object, can be connected. With the rapid development and innovation of the Internet of things (IoT), more and more ordinary objects are being connected to networks and the internet through which they can automate tasks, create intelligence, interact with each other, humans and computers by themselves.

To bring recent innovations, development, and activities of the Victorian IoT community into the limelight, the IEEE Victorian section has formed IEEE Vic, IoT community under the global IEEE Internet of Things Community. The activities of this community include, but are not limited to:

Establish a strong research collaboration between academic and industry experts.
Accelerate the adoption of IoT applications in smart industrial applications and automation.
Disseminate the information of state-of-the-art IoT technologies, IoT’s benefits, revenues and issues, and its existing and future applications among relevant research communities and industry people.
Arrange workshops on IoT and IoT applications, including cloud-based applications.
The presenters will be selected from academic and government, and industry experts.
Organise and attract flagship IoT conferences in Victoria.
Promote the sharing of IoT data and IoT networks among the Victorian research community and industry people.
Create active connections with other IEEE IoT communities across the world.
Recommend various IoT regulations, policies, and standards relevant to Victoria.

Topic: Sensor Self-Declaration of Numeric Data Reliability in Internet of Things

Presenter: Sakib Shahriar Shafin, PhD Candidate, Federation University Australia

Since diverse noises and irregularities impact on sensor data, self-declaration of sensor data reliability is crucial for advancing Internet of Things applications and industrial automation. Relevant works on reliability include sensor self-attribution of data confidence, and self-diagnosis of sensor faults using temporal data redundancy or neighboring sensor data. Models are built on edge devices and then transferred to sensors. Overall, the existing methods are computationally expensive, require real-time data from other sensors and incur considerable transmission overhead. Therefore, they are not suitable for independent sensor data reliability assessment. Addressing these issues, we introduce an independent reliability self-declaration method for sensors. Two Kalman Filter-inspired, block-based lightweight algorithms are designed, that handle isolated and burst noises and estimate block data reliability. Moreover, a conceptual model to dynamically adjust block size is proposed leveraging noise level and maximum TCP/IP packet size to reduce data transmissions. The reliability levels are conveyed using TCP header reserved bits to avoid communication overhead. The approach was tested using water quality monitoring (WQM) and healthcare application datasets. Results show, for burst noise, our lightweight and scalable approach attains superior accuracy in WQM (89.06%) and healthcare (82.63%) for 5-level reliability estimation. A real-world deployment using an Arduino-based sensor node demonstrates the feasibility of the approach for in-sensor operation.
