Even though the field of medicine has made great strides in recent years, infectious diseases caused by novel viruses that damage the respiratory system continue to plague people all over the world. This type of virus is very dangerous, especially for people with serious long-term breathing problems like asthma, pneumonia, or bronchitis infections. Thus, this paper demonstrates a new secure machine learning monitoring system for a model for virus detection. Our proposed model makes use of four basic emerging technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Cloud Computing (CC), and Machine Learning (ML), to detect dangerous types of viruses that infect people or animals causing panic worldwide and deregulating human daily life. The proposed system is a robust system that could be established in various buildings, like hospitals, entertainment halls, universities, etc., and will provide accuracy, speed, and privacy for data collected in the detection of viruses.

In a digital age where the evolution of technology is evident, more and more people worldwide are adopting new technologies in their daily lives. The subjects of this empirical research are students who attend the annual training program in Thessaloniki. Using a questionnaire, their responses were collected from 145 students regarding the creation of an educational video and its use in pedagogical practice.
The theoretical framework focuses on teacher education. The research concerns the Educational Technology-Multimedia course where the role of the moving and digital image is prominent and is becoming more and more popular as digital literacy and multimedia spreads.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate at the end of the year by the students their experience of a new educational intervention devised to be introduced in the Educational Technology-Multimedia course, in the academic year 2022-2023 by the team of teachers. It's about teaching scriptwriting and co-creating work in groups.
The results of the research showed a clear difference from how they started and how they arrived and from the descriptive data a high satisfaction of the students can be distinguished. These results advocate the adoption of similar educational practices of introducing video into the educational process, but videos that were designed and created by the teachers themselves. This highlights the necessity of teaching it as a good practice. Show less

The evolution of 6G promises faster speeds based on terahertz, wireless communication, the leverage of artificial intelligence (AL), virtually reality (VR) and generally a fully connected world. The use of applications of IoT and AIoT improves the education environment, but the intelligent network services undoubtedly gather, store and analyze big data which are vulnerable to attackers. As a solution we may consider the technology of blockchain. The trust and security of next generation intelligent networks are essential part of their design. In this article we suggest a data security system based on blockchain for AL applications in 6G networks. First, we present two Al-enabled applications, indoor positioning and mobile payment within the framework of 6G in the university area. We present the efficiency of blockchain in data security for Al-enabled systems using two case studies of indoor positioning system and mobile payment. The 6G system which is fully supported by Al and the integration of this in technology of blockchain, is ensured the security in future wireless communication. Show less

This work surveys and illustrates multiple open challenges in the field of industrial Internet of Things (IoT)-based Big Data management and analysis in Cloud environments. Challenges arising from the fields of machine learning in cloud infrastructures, artificial intelligence techniques for big data analytics in cloud environments, and federated learning cloud systems are elucidated. Additionally, reinforcement learning, which is a novel technique that allows large cloud-based data centers, to allocate more energy-efficient resources is examined. Moreover, we propose an architecture that attempts to combine the features offered by several cloud providers to achieve an energy-efficient industrial IoT-based big data management framework (EEIBDM) established outside of every user in the cloud. IoT data can be integrated with techniques such as reinforcement and federated learning to achieve a digital twin scenario for the virtual representation of industrial IoT-based big data of machines and room temperatures. Furthermore, we propose an algorithm for determining the energy consumption of the infrastructure by evaluating the EEIBDM framework.

Then, we made a comparative analysis of our system over other similar systems and presented the benefits that our approach has. Moreover, we proposed some security solutions that came out from the design and from further research. Also, a comparative analysis of our system over other similar systems is shown in this paper. Then, the benefits of our design are listed and explained. Finally, we have studied and used the Contiki OS and the Cooja emulator, and we have created simulations, which helped us have a more detailed and realistic image of our system. The results from the transmission of the packets of data are significant, since the protocol we use (CoAP), has a very low percentage, if not zero, of the packets, lost. Using the Cooja emulator we track the trafficc in and out of the network in real time. So, it seems to be a very useful tool which offers, except the traffic, diagrams and other metrics which describe our system. As future work, we are going to emulate our entire system with such tools like the Cooja emulator. Then, if the results are the expected, we will move on with the implementation of such a system.

The focus of this paper is to propose an integration between Internet of Things (IoT) and Video Surveillance, with the aim to satisfy the requirements of the future needs of Video Surveillance, and to accomplish a better use. IoT is a new technology in the sector of telecommunications. It is a network that contains physical objects, items, and devices, which are embedded with sensors and software, thus enabling the objects, and allowing for their data exchange. Video Surveillance systems collect and exchange the data which has been recorded by sensors and cameras, and send it through the network. This paper proposes an innovative topology paradigm which could offer a better use of IoT technology in Video Surveillance systems. Furthermore, the contribution of these technologies provided by Internet of Things features in dealing with the basic types of Video Surveillance technology with the aim to improve their use and to have a better transmission of video data through the network. Additionally, there is a comparison between our proposed topology and relevant proposed topologies focusing in the security issue.

Big Data (BD) is a new technology which rapidly growing in the telecommunications
sectors, especially in the contemporary field of wireless telecommunications. Another
technology that grows rapidly in the field of wireless telecommunications is Cloud Computing
(CC). CC concerns an infrastructure where data storage and processing take place outside of
the user’s device. Both of them face security and privacy issues in their function. In order to
improve them and to optimize their privacy and security issues conducted the present survey.
In this paper, we survey BD and CC technology and their basic characteristics, with a focus on
the security and privacy issues of both technologies. Specifically, we try to combine the
functionality of the two technologies (i.e BD and CC) with the aim to examine the frequent
features, and also to discover the benefits related in security issues of their integration.
Concluding, we present a new method of an algorithm that can be used for the purpose of
improving Cloud Computing’s security through the use of algorithms that can provide more
privacy in the data related to Big Data technology. At the end, there is a survey about the
challenges of the integration of BD and CC related to their security level. Show less
