Accurate load prediction is critical for electrical power systems operations, but nonlinear loads involve high volatility. Forecasting these kinds of complex load characteristics requires highly accurate forecasting devices. It is generally accomplished by constructing models on relative details, including weather and previous data on load demand. This study proposes six decomposition-based evolutionary neural networks for city-scale and building energy forecasting. These evolutionary neural networks have also been trained using historical load data, and weather records are already considered to have a significant effect on energy usage (for example, wind speed, precipitation, dry-dew point temperature, relative humidity, clouds fraction and mean sea level perception). The network structure of the model is built and based on error estimation, trend map, and appropriate method of measuring evolutionary neural networks efficiency. The model's hidden layers and neurons network structure is selected based on recent smart models to enhance its accuracy. Several measures were used to improve performance, such as seasonal smoothing changes, coarse-graining of the humidity ratio, load-oriented day-type classification monitoring, outlier removal, and complex climate information. Results show that used models have a very high fitting accuracy and low error rate for short, medium, and long-term forecasting/planning tasks. These models have the potential to reduce overfitting issues, thereby improving load forecasting efficiency. Further, proposed models may also use for forecasting solar and wind demand. The efficiency of the model compared to the existing two models. Forecast results show superiority and efficiency in short, medium and long-term energy forecasting and offer the ability to manage unbalanced utility loads.

Edge computing for visitor identification using eigenfaces in an assisted living environment
Assistive Technology for the Elderly, 2020
Abstract This work proposes an edge computing-based visitor identification system for elderly or ... more Abstract This work proposes an edge computing-based visitor identification system for elderly or dementia residents to recognize the visitors to their smart home quickly. The proposed system uses audio and lighting stimulation to trigger an associative recall in the subjects for recognizing familiar persons. Frontal face haar cascade classifier is used in extracting the facial portion of the captured visitor image. Classification of the visitor is done by eigenfaces approach using the extracted facial image. Playing relevant audio file on the smart speakers located in the house triggers associative recall in the elderly or dementia persons based on the principles of music therapy. Also, relevant lighting effects by hue lights in the house assist the subjects in recognizing the visitors quickly. The system realizes the benefits of music and lighting therapy in everyday living by identifying the familiar people and exploits the advantages of edge/fog computing.

Since then, COVID-19 has come as a shock to society and health systems. It has surpassed provincial, radical, conceptual, spiritual, social, and pedagogical boundaries. In the present pandemic situation, all countries are fighting their battle with COVID-19 and looking for a practical and cost-effective solution to face the problems. This chapter highlights the COVID-19 pandemic challenges faced by individuals and healthcare systems and how society is trying to utilize the benefits of the latest technologies, such as the sensor network and the Internet of things.

The proposed system uses fog nodes to process the video streams captured at various entrances into a facility. Haar-cascade-classifiers are used to detect face portions in the video frames. Each fog node deploys two MobileNet models, where the first model deals with the dichotomy between mask and no mask case. The second model deals with the dichotomy between proper mask wear and improper mask wear case and is applied only if the first model detects mask in the facial image. This two-level classification allows the entry of people into a facility, only if they wear the mask properly. The proposed system offers performance benefits such as improved response time and bandwidth consumption, as the processing of video stream is done locally at each fog gateway without relying on the Internet.

A novel Fog computing based ubiquitous recognition model is used to stimulate subjects and immediately trigger an associative recall in recognizing familiar persons and everyday objects. When a known person is sensed in the house, then a relevant audio file is played on smart speakers located in the house, so as to trigger associative recall based on the principles of music therapy. Also, the lighting effects are used to assist the subjects in identifying domestic objects accurately. Person and object recognition is achieved by using the Haar Cascade Classifier. The system was successful in the identification of 82% of the familiar people or objects so that the benefits of music therapy and lighting are realized for everyday living.
