IUC students have published an international scientific research paper

Students from the Computer Engineering Technologies Department at Iraq University College (IUC) have published an international scientific research paper titled:

“Secure Offline Smart Office Automation System Using ESP32 and Bluetooth Control Architecture”
In the journal: Journal of Cyber Security and Risk Auditing, Vol. 2024, No.1

The research was supervised by Dr. Mahmood Al-Shuraida, as an external lecturer and the lead author,
with contributions from students: Ahmed Nader Jaafar, Mohammed Tahseen Hashem, and Murtadha Salman Fajr.

Abstract of the Research:

The research focuses on developing a smart system for office automation without the need for internet connectivity, utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller and Bluetooth technology. The system provides instant control of office devices such as lighting, doors, and alerts through a specially designed mobile application.

The system emphasizes security, energy efficiency, and fast response, showing the following results:

• Response time less than 150 milliseconds

• Reliable communication range up to 8 meters

• Very low power consumption

• Low cost (less than $20)

Key Highlights of the Research:

• Fully functional without internet, making it ideal for environments with limited infrastructure or requiring high confidentiality.

• Fully secured through local Bluetooth pairing and potential for future encryption enhancements.

• Scalable to include additional sensors and features such as biometric recognition or advanced graphical interfaces.

• A fully integrated mobile app was developed to control the system.

• Outperforms cloud-based systems in terms of security, cost, and autonomy.
