In the application of wireless sensor networks to monitor valuable assets under concern, the appearance of a certain asset can be identified and reported simultaneously by several adjacent nodes, and this may dissipate the power of related nodes and network bandwidth as well. In the proposed method, a node that senses the appearance of some asset is allowed to send the sensing-reporting packet only after it has been being idle for a certain period without receiving any DRP(Don't Report Packet) from neighbors. It turns out that not only the cost of propagating DRPs but also that of reporting the events to the sink becomes minimal when depth of each DRP propagation is 2. In case of depth 1, at least, two routes are set up for the delivery of the sensing-reporting packet hence, reliable transfer to the sink is provided.

In this paper, we propose a scalable content-based routing scheme for the tactical mobile ad-hoc networks where the nodes usually move together forming a group. Our scheme is classified as a content-based routing scheme based on publish and subscribe model. The nodes compose a cluster according to their position and interest. Our scheme allows multi-level cluster nesting. As a publish/subscribe model does, each node announces its interest to the cluster head who aggregates and announces the interests from cluster members to its neighbor cluster head. Actual data messages are delivered to the end node via cluster header in the reverse direction of the interest announcement. Using Qualnet simulator, we evaluated the performance of our scheme in comparison with two well-known content-based routing schemes. Simulation results show that our scheme maintains higher message delivery ratio as number of nodes increases whereas the two schemes show much lower delivery ratio. In addition, as the group mobility gets faster our scheme incurs less or similar control message overhead compared with the two schemes.

To develop an intelligent search engine to help users retrieve information effectively, various methods, such as Semantic Web, have been used, An effective retrieval method of such methods uses ontology technology. In this paper, we built National R&D ontology after analyzing National R&D Information in NTIS and then implemented National R&D Knowledge Map to represent and retrieve information of the relationship between object and subject (project, human information, organization, research result) in R&D Ontology. In the National R&D Knowledge Map, center-node is the object selected by users, node is subject, subject's sub-node is user's favorite query in National R&D ontology after analyzing the relationship between object and subject. When a user selects sub-node, the system displays the results from inference engine after making query by SPARQL in National R&D ontology.

In the sensor network security area, previous works were mainly concentrated on achieving authentication, confidentiality, integrity and availability. But the ID exposure issue is recently an increasing concern in research community. To protect the ID exposure from various attacks, the most common approach is to make use of a dynamic pseudonym rather than the real ID. However, if a node's secret key (or hash key) and the current pseudonym (such as a random number) are exposed, the attacker can easily generate the previous/next pseudonyms. In this paper, we propose a security infra-structure scheme for enabling strong anonymity of sensor nodes. Our scheme ensures that the probability being able to generate a pseudonym is very low even if a sensor node has been compromised with an attacker. Security analyses have proven that our scheme is suitable for sensor network environments in terms of preserving of forward anonymity as well as backward anonymity.

Due to architectural requirement, the attention of single layered freeform spatial structure is increasing nowadays. Because the node of single layered structure should resist the bending and axial forces simultaneously, it is necessary to develop a new proper type of node in detail. In this study, a new type of node for single layered freeform spatial structure was proposed. And the structural performance for the node was analytically evaluated using the commercial FEM software(ABACUS). As a result, a node prototype was selected and the proposed node showed good structural behaviors.

In this paper we propose an algorithm for environment monitoring using multiple mobile sensor (MS) nodes. Our focus is on maximizing sensing coverage of a group of MS nodes for monitoring a phenomenon in an unknown and open area over time. In the proposed algorithm, MS nodes are iteratively relocated to new positions at which a higher sensing coverage can be obtained. We formulated an integer linear programming (ILP) optimization problem to find the optimal positions for MS nodes with the objective of coverage maximization. The performance evaluation was performed to confirm that the proposed algorithm can enable MS nodes to relocate to high interest positions, and obtain a maximum sensing coverage.

It is an important issue to find out the difference between RDF documents, because RDF documents are changed frequently. When RDF documents contain blank nodes, we need a matching technique for blank nodes in the change detection. Blank nodes have a nested form and they are used in most RDF documents. A RDF document can be modeled as a graph and it will contain many subtrees. We can consider a change detection problem as a minimum cost tree matching problem. In this paper, we propose a change detection technique for RDF documents using the labeling scheme for blank nodes. We also propose a method for improving the efficiency of general triple matching, which used predicate grouping and partitioning. In experiments, we showed that our approach was more accurate and faster than the previous approaches.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are networks of mobile nodes that have no fixed network infrastructure. Since the mobile node's location changes frequently, it is an attractive area to maintain the node's location efficiently. In this paper, we present an adaptive randomized database group (ARDG) scheme to manage the mobile nodes mobility in MHANETs. The proposed scheme stores the network nodes' location in location databases to manage the nodes' mobility. When a mobile node changes its location or needs a node's location, the node randomly select some databases to update or que교 the location information. The number of the selected databases is fixed in the case of querying while the number of the databases is determined according to the node's popularity in the case of updating. We evaluated the performance of the proposed scheme using an analytical model, and compared the performance with that of the conventional randomized database group (RDG) scheme.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANET)은 기존의 인프라없이 독립적으로 네트워크를 구성할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이에 대한 관심의 증대에 따라 새로운 도전 영역으로써 MANET에 인터넷 서비스를 제공하는 인터넷게이트웨이가 등장하고 있는데. MANET boundary를 공유하는 영역에서의 노드는 이러한 여러 개의 인터넷 게이트웨이들에 대한 선택문제가 있게 된다. 이러한 문제점에 대해서 네트워크의 환경에 맞는 적절한 해결책은 아직 미흡한 상태이다. 기존의 해결책은 hop count를 기준으로 간단하게 게이트웨이를 선택하고는 있지만 노드의 이동성에 따른 전송량 감소가 빈번해서 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 MANET이 모바일 환경적 특성을 지니고 있는 점을 고려해서 노드의 이동성향을 고려해서 게이트웨이를 선택하도록 하여 전체네트워크의 전송량을 증가시키는 대안을 제시한다.

최근 유비쿼터스 환경을 실현하는 기술로서 사물 및 환경 정보를 센싱하여 필요한 정보를 수집 및 분석. 처리하는 센서네트워크 기술에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 최근 국내에서는 u-City와 u-Port 사업 등, 범국가적인 차원의 도입을 통해 환경 정보 모니터링, 홈 자동화, 자산 물류 응용 등의 다양한 센서네트워크를 이용한 서비스가 등장하였다. 이러한 기존의 응용서비스는 모든 센서노드가 고정되어 있는 환경에서 응용 대상의 데이터를 수집하는 서비스가 대부분이다. 그러나 동물의 생태 모니터링 등의 응용을 위해서는 센서를 움직이는 대상에 부착하여 이동하는 센서노드로부터 효율적으로 데이터를 수집하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동하는 센서로부터 효율적으로 데이터를 수집하기 위하여 이동노드 색인 기법을 설계한다. 아울러 제안하는 색인 기법을 위한 영역질의 처리 알고리즘을 제시한다.
