Smart schooling seeks to enhance the educational experience through technology. In this effort, a digital educational platform has been developed and empirically tested to identify students at risk of academic failure and dropout, while also promoting effective study and learning habits. Machine learning algorithms are employed to assess academic failure risk based on students’ responses to a questionnaire crea...
Introduction: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, its compliance remains a clinical challenge. This study aimed to determine the CPAP non-compliance rate one year after medical discharge and identify predictors of non-compliance. Methods: This observational study included OSAS patients who were discharged from the Pulmonol...
Achieving reliable connectivity in heterogeneous vehicular networks is a challenging task, owing to rapid topological changes and unpredictable vehicle speeds. As vehicular communication demands continue to evolve, multipath connectivity is emerging as an important tool, which promises to enhance network interoperability and reliability. Given the limited coverage area of serving access technologies, frequent d...
[Excerpt] Wireless networks play a key role in IoT applications, often with wireless sensor networks as ad hoc local area networks with self-healing routing, recent low-power wide-area network technologies enabling new application felds and/or more efcient architectures, and mobile networks ofering the possibility of extending applications to remote areas. Wireless networks also enable innovative and interestin...
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an active topic of research and standardization, with both the industry and academia actively planning to develop proofs-of-concept (PoCs). Implementing a standards-based MEC infrastructure is expensive and time-consuming, leading to the use of partial implementations or simulation. This paper proposes NETEDGE MEP, an open-source MEC Platform (MEP) based on cloud-native tech...
communication has recently arisen as a promising tool to address reliable communication in vehicular networks. The architecture of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is designed to facilitate concurrent utilization of multiple network interfaces, thereby enabling the system to optimize network throughput. In the context of vehicular environments, MPTCP offers a promising solution for seamless roaming, as it enables the syst...
In Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems, road users and traffic managers share information for coordinating their actions to improve traffic efficiency allowing the driver to adapt to the traffic situation. Its effectiveness, however, depends on the user’s decision-making process, which is the main source of uncertainty in any mobility system and depends on the ability of the infrastructure to communicate ...
The increased availability of devices equipped with multiple wireless interfaces leads to consider multihoming as one of the key features of the next generation 5G networks. This paper discusses the emulation technique that integrates Linux Container and ns-3 network simulator to evaluate emerging multipath applications and protocols. The presented solution was utilized as an experimental platform to analyze th...
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are the network that enables communications between road entities, such as vehicles, Road Side Units (RSUs), or Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). The work presented in this paper aims to provide a methodology to prevent accidents that happen to VRUs' entities, more precisely, to pedestrians. The goal of this safety application use-case is to detect and warn the involved parties of...
