  • The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on Iot Nodes in Smart Cities
    sensors Article The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on IoT Nodes in Smart Cities Ammar Nasif *, Zulaiha Ali Othman and Nor Samsiah Sani Center for Artificial Intelligence Technology (CAIT), Faculty of Information Science & Technology, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Malaysia; [email protected] (Z.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Networking is crucial for smart city projects nowadays, as it offers an environment where people and things are connected. This paper presents a chronology of factors on the development of smart cities, including IoT technologies as network infrastructure. Increasing IoT nodes leads to increasing data flow, which is a potential source of failure for IoT networks. The biggest challenge of IoT networks is that the IoT may have insufficient memory to handle all transaction data within the IoT network. We aim in this paper to propose a potential compression method for reducing IoT network data traffic. Therefore, we investigate various lossless compression algorithms, such as entropy or dictionary-based algorithms, and general compression methods to determine which algorithm or method adheres to the IoT specifications. Furthermore, this study conducts compression experiments using entropy (Huffman, Adaptive Huffman) and Dictionary (LZ77, LZ78) as well as five different types of datasets of the IoT data traffic. Though the above algorithms can alleviate the IoT data traffic, adaptive Huffman gave the best compression algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, Citation: Nasif, A.; Othman, Z.A.; we aim to propose a conceptual compression method for IoT data traffic by improving an adaptive Sani, N.S.

    Precursor PDF News 10:4 Adobe InDesign to Challenge Quark At last week’s Seybold conference in Boston, Adobe Systems finally took the wraps off its upcoming “Quark-killer” called InDesign. The new-from-the-ground-up page layout program is set for a summer debut. InDesign will be able to open QuarkXPress 3 and 4 documents and will even offer a set of Quark keyboard shortcuts. The beefy new program will also offer native Photoshop, Illustrator and PDF file format support. The PDF capabilities in particular will change workflows to PostScript 3 output devices. Pricing is expected to be $699 U.S. Find out more on- line at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/indesign/main.html PageMaker 6.5 Plus: Focus on Business With the appearance on InDesign, Adobe PageMaker Plus has been targeted toward business customers with increased integration with Microsoft Office products, more templates and included Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition in the box. Upgrade prices are $99 U.S. PageMaker Plus is expected to ship by the end of March. Find out more on-line at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/pagemaker/main.html Adobe Acrobat 4.0 Also at Seybold, Adobe announced that Acrobat 4.0 will ship in late March for $249 ($99 for upgrades) The new version offers Press Optimization for PDF file creation and provides the ability to view a document with the fonts it was created with or fonts native to the viewing machine. Greater post file creation editing capabilities are also built-in And, of course, the new version is 100% hooked in to PostScript 3.

ABSTRACT Efficient high-throughput (HT) compression algorithms are paramount to meet the stringent constraints of present and upcoming data storage, processing, and transmission systems. In particular, latency, bandwidth and energy requirements are critical for those systems. Most HT codecs are designed to maximize compression speed, and secondarily to minimize compressed lengths. On the other hand, decompression speed is often equally or more critical than compression speed, especially in scenarios where decompression is performed multiple times and/or at critical parts of a system. In this work, an algorithm to design variable-to-fixed (VF) codes is proposed that prioritizes decompression speed.
