System-Aware Smart Network Management for Nano-Enriched Water Quality Monitoring

This paper presents a comprehensive water quality monitoring system that employs a smart network management,nano-enriched sensing framework,and intelligent and efficient data analysis and forwarding protocols for smart and system-aware decision making. the presented system comprises two main subsystems,a data sensing and forwarding subsystem (dsfs),and operation management subsystem (oms). the oms operates based on real-time learned patterns and rules of system operations projected from the dsfs to manage the entire network of sensors. the main tasks of oms are to enable real-time data visualization,managed system control,and secure system operation. the dsfs employs a hybrid intelligence (hi) scheme which is proposed through integrating an association rule learning algorithm with fuzzy logic and weighted decision trees. the dsfs operation is based on profiling and registering raw data readings,generated from a set of optical nanosensors,as profiles of attribute-value pairs. as a case study,we evaluate our implemented test bed via simulation scenarios in a water quality monitoring framework. the monitoring processes are simulated based on measuring the percentage of dissolved oxygen and potential hydrogen (ph) in fresh water. simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed hi-based methodology at learning different water quality classes. � 2016 b. mokhtar et al.
