We develop a stochastic programming model to aid manufacturing firms in making strategic decisions in technology acquisition. The proposed model maximizes the firm's expected profit under the condition of the uncertainty in technological progress and development. To solve this large-scale problem, we decompose future uncertainties through scenarios and then develop an algorithm to solve the resulting non-linear subproblems efficiently. Finally, we develop a heuristic to eliminate the infeasibility in the master problem and obtain best solutions. Numerical results show that our heuristic solutions are very close to the optimal solutions and meaningful insights are derived. (

Nowadays, the masonry for environment-friendly and protected network structure designs, for example, the Internet of Things and gigantic data analytics are increasing at a faster pace compared to an earlier state. Mobile edge computing for an Internet of Things widget is information processing that is achieved at or close to the collectors of information in an Internet of Things system. Herein, we are proposing to temporarily evaluation the concepts, features, protection, and privacy applications of Internet of Things authorized mobile edge computing with its data protection view in our data-driven globe. We focus on illuminating one of kind components that need to be taken into consideration whilst creating a scalable, consistent, impenetrable and disseminated mobile edge computing structure. We also sum up the fundamental ideas regarding security threat alleviation strategies. After that, we walk around the existing challenges and opportunities in the area of mobile edge computing. In conclusion, we analyze a case study, in which a security protection mechanism can be hardened to lift out everyday jobs.

<span>The use of smart cities rises quickly with the fast progress of the Internet of Things (IoT) advances. The smart city idea essentially getting city life; as well raises the capability of municipal jobs and facilities plus form viable economic progress of the city. The point of convergence of this paper is to introduce an automated smart automobile parking system for smart cities demand employs internet of things (IoT) technology. The offered automobile parking system covers an IoT entity sent nearby for getting sorted out the existing parking spots which are quicker contrasted with different frameworks. It is a viewpoint gave as an iOS application for reservation, entrance, supervision, and leaving the car park places.</span>

In interconnection and automation of different physical gadgets, vehicles, home machines and different things, the internet of things (IoT) innovation plays a critical role.These objects associate and deal information with the assistance of software, different sensors, and actuators. A human's standard of life and living are improved with this automation of gadgets, which is a forthcoming need. In this paper we talked about a similar requirement for instance, a smart car parking system which empowers a driver to discover a parking area and a free slot in that parking area inside a city. This paper focus on drcreasing the time squandered on discovering parking area. This in turn diminishes the fuel utilization and way of life. With the exponential increment in the quantity of vehicles and total population, vehicle accessibility, use out, about starting late, finding a space for parking the vehicle is turning out to be increasingly more troublesome with realizing the amount of conflicts, for example, automobile overloads. This paper is connected to making a trustworthy system that accept authority over the undertaking of recognizing free slots in a parking area and keeping the record of vehicles left in an extremly methodical way. The predicted system decreases human effort at the parking area generally, for example, in case of looking of free slots by the driver and calculating the portion for each vehicle using parking area. The different advances engaged with this system are vehicle unique proof utilizing RFID labels; free slot discovering utilizing Ultrasonic sensors and payment count is done based on time of parking.
