Internet of Things (IoT) is understood to bring along major research challenges due to the introduction of machine to machine (M2M) applications with no or minimal human supervision. A lot of challenges exist in the scope of resource management due to the high heterogeneity, high complexity and the existence of computational resources at various la

This research addresses the issue of how the provision of open space can be considered as an influential element in the house price. Literatures globally suggest that there is a significant value of open space in relation to house price in which the elements reflect more on the management parts such as the aspect of cleanliness and good maintenance

Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a major role in extending the reach of the existing communication systems to include resource constrained devices. Many exciting research works for IoT have been proposed for management of such devices such that human intervention is minimized. This is a challenge due to the high heterogeneity, high complexity of

The concern for the natural and built environment has become crucial in relation to the concept of sustainable development. Literatures show that the ecological design (ED) concept has produced positive results in supporting the achievement of sustainable development, though it faces many challenges amongst public and other stakeholders of its impo

In this paper, the state feedback control design problem for stabilizing a two-wheeled wheelchair in balancing mode is considered. The system is modeled as double-inverted pendulum on two wheels. The calculation of state feedback control gains is conventionally handled by LQR method via Riccati equation. Unfortunately, the method still possesses tr

According to the present conventional concept, mosque is only a place for the Muslims to offer prayer but in reality it should serve as a complex socio-cultural institution within the Muslim communities around the world. Though the contemporary evidences would go against this statement, it has to be noted that the original idea of mosque illustrate

The term Islamic garden has been defined in various ways considering different aspects and val- ues. These definitions draws a broader perspective to Islamic garden, a key feature of Islamic civilization throughout the history. This paper aims to analyze these views and compare them in order to reach toward a holistic definition for Islamic garden-

A six component force balance was used to obtain the aerodynamic performance of a NACA 23012 half wing model with a slender reverse delta type add-on device in landing configuration (slat deflection 15° and flap deflection 20°) at a chord-based Reynolds number of Rec =2.74×105. Reverse delta type add-on devices of three different sizes were test

The development of a public market in city planning is pivotal in supporting the growth of the local economy. Markets become assets to the city not only as a platform for informal vendors to conduct businesses but also as a place where the culture of the locals evolves daily. This paper examines Pasar Payang in Terengganu, Malaysia as one of the we

Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the expansion of Internet technologies to include wireless sensor networks(WSNs) and smart objects by extensive interfacing of exclusively identifiable, distributed communication devices. Due to the close connection with the physical world, it is an important requirement for IoT technology to be self-secure in ter
