The network induced transmission delay deteriorates the performance and stability of the real-time distributed control system on LonWorks over IP (LonWorks/IP) virtual device network (VDN). LonWorks/IP virtual device network is an integrated form of LonWorks device network and IP data network. The time delay in servo control on the LonWorks/IP-based VDN has highly stochastic nature. In the real-time distributed servo applications for predictive maintenance on the factory floor, timely response is essential.

Fast transmission speeds and various wired network services have been combined with the convenience and mobility of wireless services. The combination of wired/wireless technologies is spreading rapidly since it enables the creation of new services and provides new features to both users and service providers. In such wired/wireless integrated services, network integration is very important because such systems are integrated by a linkage between heterogeneous networks and they involve an integration of transmission technologies across networks. In this situation, existing security and communication technologies are unsuitable since the network are integrated with heterogeneous networks. The network may also have several security flaws. In existing homogeneous networks, user authentication and key management between heterogeneous networks are required for these new technologies. The establishment of security technologies for heterogeneous devices is a very important task between homogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient key management system for a heterogeneous network environment. Our system provides secure communications between heterogeneous network devices.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 환경에서 리소스가 제한적인 이동통신 단말기 등에서 하위 네트워크 프로토콜이나 전송방식에 독립적인 서비스 발견을 위한 프레임웍을 설계하는데 있다. 이 연구의 접근은 Jini라는 서비스 프레임웍을 모바일 디바이스에 맞게 경량화하고 이 프레임웍에 다양한 Ad-hoc 전송 계층을 추가할 수 있도록 확장 가능한 Jini 서비스 프레임웍 제공함으로써 기존에 서비스가 가지던 네트워크 전송계층의 의존성을 극복하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 Bluetooth 전송기술을 하나의 Ad-hoc 네트워크 모델로 삼아 Jini 프레임웍 내에서 STL(Service Translation Layer)를 추가함으로써 Jini를 통한 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서 서비스 발견을 가능토록 하였다.

As one of the most spotlighted research areas, these days, the Internet of Things (IoT) aims to provide users with various services through many devices. Since there exist so many devices in IoT environments, it is inefficient to manually configure the domain name system (DNS) names of such devices. Thus, for IPv6-based IoT environments, this paper proposes a scheme called the DNS Name Autoconfiguration (DNSNA) that autoconfigures an IoT device's DNS name and manages it. In the procedure for generating and registering an IoT device's DNS name, the standard protocols of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) are used. Since the proposed scheme resolves an IoT device's DNS name into an IPv6 address in unicast through a DNS server, it generates less traffic than multicast-based mDNS (Multicast DNS) which is a legacy DNS application for the DNS name service in the smart home. Thus, the proposed scheme is more appropriate in multi-hop IoT networks than mDNS. This paper explains the design of the proposed scheme and its service scenarios, such as smart home and smart road. It also explains the implementation and testing of the proposed scheme in the smart grid.

With the rise of internet of things (IoT), there have been several studies to analyze the technological trend and technological convergence. However, previous work have been relied on the qualitative work that investigate the IoT trend and implication for future business. In response, this study considers the patent information as the proxy measure of technology, and conducts a quantitative and analytic approach for analyzing technological convergence using patent co-classification analysis and text mining. First, this study investigate the characteristics of IoT business, and characterize IoT business into four dimensions: device, network, platform, and services. After this process, total 923 patent classes are classified into four types of IoT technology group. Since most of patent classes are classified into device technology, we developed a co-classification network for both device technology and all technologies. Patent keywords are also extracted and these keywords are also classified into four types: device, network, platform, and services. As a result, technologies for several IoT devices such as sensors, healthcare, and energy management are derived as a main convergence group for the device network. For the total IoT network, base network technology plays a key role to characterize technological convergence in the IoT network, mediating the technological convergence in each application area such as smart healthcare, smart home, and smart grid. This work is expected to effectively be utilized in the technology planning of IoT businesses.

In this paper, we use the ECMA-392 standard, the first cognitive radio networks to meet the demand for IT services in the ship. First, we learn about ECMA-392-based network and examine the consideration and the problems for assigning channels to the device. And, we propose a fair channel resource allocation to ensure efficiently channel required by device groups in ECMA-392 MAC protocol. This is a method to reallocate the channels fairly with considering the channel assignment parameters to a new device group and existing device groups. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves throughputs compared to the existing one.

In this paper, we designed and implemented home gateway system for remote control of home appliances and devices using cellular phone. The system communicate home devices through Zigbee protocol and home server based on Linux operating system communicate cellular phone through external networks. We expect that the system apply various fields as home automations, home network, smart offices, and ubiquious environments.

유비쿼터스 환경에서는 서비스 사용자가 언제, 어디서나 모든 서비스를 사용할 수 있어야 한다. 즉, 디바이스나 서비스의 상태, 위치 정보 등 특성에 관계 없이 동질의 서비스를 제공해야 한다. 이를 위해 산재한 이질적인 서브네트워크의 상호운용성을 위한 다양한 분산 시스템의 네트워크 프로토콜과 디바이스간의 통신을 통합하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 서브네트워크의 상호운용성을 위해서는 메시지 전송 및 변환 기능이 요구되며, 서브네트워크의 변화를 동적으로 감지하여 서비스 사용자에게 알려주어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 웹서비스를 지원하기 위한 Web Services on Universal Networks를 제안하였다. 제안하는 WSUN은 Universal Service Broker의 프레임워크를 통해 SOA 기반으로 접근하고 있으며 요구 사항을 정의하여 필요한 구성 요소에 대한 설계하였다. 또한, 동적인 서비스 검색을 위한 Universal Service Registry를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 DPWS의 동작 시나리오를 통해 이질적인 서브네트워크의 상호운용성을 지원하기 위한 DPWS 어댑터를 설계한다.

Home networks is a network composed of devices in home and is being expanded by evolving devices. Also, The number of digital contents in home network has been increasing steadily. But it is difficult to continually protect the rights of digital contents due to lack of interoperability among contents devices. Besides, a license has to be re-issued by DRM sever for contents transfer between devices. Thus, this paper proposes framework which can freely transfer the contents to another device through mutual device authentication and a system that can decrease overload of license management of the DRM server and that enable users outside home network to use contents through user authentication.

This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) middleware called Middleware for Cooperative Interaction of Things (MinT). MinT supports a fully distributed IoT environment in which IoT devices directly connect to peripheral devices, easily constructing a local or global network and sharing their data in an energy efficient manner. MinT provides a sensor abstract layer, a system layer and an interaction layer. These layers enable integrated sensing device operations, efficient resource management, and interconnection between peripheral IoT devices. In addition, MinT provides a high-level API, allowing easy development of IoT devices by developers. We aim to enhance the energy efficiency and performance of IoT devices through the performance improvements offered by MinT resource management and request processing. The experimental results show that the average request rate increased by 25% compared to existing middlewares, average response times decreased by 90% when resource management was used, and power consumption decreased by up to 68%. Finally, the proposed platform can reduce the latency and power consumption of IoT devices.
