GOptimaEmbed: A SmartSMS-SQLDatabaseManagementSystem for Low-Cost Microcontrollers

African Journal of Computing & ICT, 8(2) The era of the Internet of things, machine-to-machine and human to machine computing has heralded the development of a modern-day smart industry in which humanoids can co-operate,co-exist and interact seamlessly.Currently, there are many projects in this area of smart communication and thus giving rise to an industry electrified by smart things.In this paper we present a novel smart database management system (dbms),GOptimaEmbed, for intelligent querying of databases in device constrained embedded systems. The system uses genetic algorithms as main search engine and simplifies the query process using stored in-memory model based on an invented device dependent Short-messaging-Structured Query Language SMS SQL schema translator. In addition, querying is done over the air using integrated GSM module in the smart space. The system has been applied to querying a plant database and results were quite satisfactory. Keywords.
