One popular clustering technique - the K-means widely use in educational scope to clustering and mapping document, data, and user performance in skill. K-means clustering is one of the classical and most widely used clustering algorithms shows its efficiency in many traditional applications its defect appears obviously when the data set to become much more complicated. Based on some research on K-means algorithm shows that Number of a cluster of K-means cannot easily be specified in much realworld application, several algorithms requiring the number of cluster as a parameter cannot be effectively employed. The aim of this paper describes the perspective K-means problems underlying research. Literature analysis of previous studies suggesting that selection of the number of clusters randomly cause problems such as suitable producing globular cluster, less efficient if as the number of cluster grow K-means clustering becomes untenable. From those literature reviews, the heuristic optimiza.....

Smart gardens and aquaponics are sustainable systems in the world of agriculture. These systems can be highly successful if they have intensive monitoring. The water flow should be managed periodically to ensure that the plants get sufficient nutrients and the water quality can be monitored consistently. In this research, Smart Garden and Aquaponics systems were designed to control and monitor the water’s pH level, turbidity, temperature, and humidity by integrating an Internet of Things (IoT) application. The systems were installed with sensors to retrieve data by using Long Range Radio (LoRa) to transmit in its cloud, and can be accessed in real time. Effective power consumption is important in this situation. Thus, power consumption during transmitting and receiving LoRa standalone and integration of LoRa with sensors was compared. These comparisons demonstrate LoRa’s integration with sensors did not over-state the standalone LoRa  ..
