A study of the disaster management model based on USN

USN 기반 재난 관리 모델 연구

USN Middleware plays roles of broker between sensors and applications. It collects sensor data, decides the situation and sends the result to the applications. It is not good to decide the situation from one sensor data, because it may error data or reflect small part of all. In this paper, we propose the disaster management model based on the concept 'group' and 'semantic information' from the sensing data. Group is the primary unit to decide the situation. It consists of several sensors which were installed in the same place and had the same pre-defined condition to act. For example, all fire sensors in the room simultaneously trigger the ring when the same pre-defined temperature is recorded. Then, the all fire sensors are included to the same one sensor group. All operations of the intelligent USN middleware are based on the 'group' unit. Disaster information is the result of the interpretation of the sensing data. based on the 'group', the disaster meaning is processed.
