The main issue in mobile cloud computing is how to support a seamless service to a mobile mode. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a mobility supporting protocol which is standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Mobile IPv6 fast handovers (FMIPv6) is the extension of MIPv6 which is proposed to overcome shortcomings of MIPv6. Recently, fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 over IEEE 802.16e which is one of broadband wireless access systems has been proposed by the IETF. It was designed for supporting cross-layer fast handover. In this paper, we propose an enhanced cross-layering mobile IPv6 fast handover over IEEE 802.16e networks. In our scheme, a new access router generates a new address for the mobile node by using a layer 2 trigger. We utilize a layer 2 message which is sent from a new base station to the new access router in order to inform the new access router of information of the mobile node. A previous access router sends a binding update message to the mobile node's home agent when it acquires the new address of the mobile node. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme compared with the existing schemes in terms of the signaling cost and the handover latency. From the results, we observe that the proposed scheme can support fast handover effectively over IEEE 802.16e networks than existing schemes.

Mobile devices with Android OS and iOS have been emerged as mobile computing devices where various software applications are deployed. Furthermore, they are anticipated to be used not only for traditional personal computing but also for enterprise computing. However, such mobile devices have their intrinsic characteristics such as limited resources and flexible network capabilities, which are not revealed in traditional computers. Hence, there is high demand for methods to develop mobile applications with reflecting their intrinsic characteristics. Since those characteristics belong to non-functional requirements, they should be reflected in architecture design while designing mobile applications. To design architecture, the architecture drivers that are architecture non-functional requirements are decided from mobile application characteristics. Conventional architecture design methods do not consider those characteristics so that the methods cannot be straightforwardly applied to mobile applications. In this paper, to efficiently develop mobile applications reflecting those characteristics, we propose a set of architecture patterns and define a guideline to apply those patterns. First, we define the characteristics of mobile applications distinguished and derive architectural drivers from them. Then, we propose architecture patterns in terms of static and dynamic views and define an architectural guideline to apply the patterns to designing architecture for mobile application. And, we perform case studies to verify the applicability of proposed patterns. Finally, we assess the proposed architecture patterns by proving how the patterns can fulfill identified architecture drivers and by comparing our approach with previous works.

There is a new evolution in technological advancement taking place called the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT enables physical world objects in our surroundings to be connected to the Internet. For this idea to come to life, two architectures are required: the Sensing Entity in the environment which collects data and connects to the cloud and the Cloud Service that hosts the data. In particular, the combination of wireless sensor network for sensing and cloud computing for managing sensor data is becoming a popular intervention for the IoT era. The pharmaceutical cold chain requires controlled environmental conditions for the sensitive products in order for them to maintain their potency and fit for consumption. The monitoring of distribution process is the only assurance that a process has been successfully validated. The distribution process is so critical that anomaly at any point will result in the process being no longer valid. Taking the cold chain monitoring to IoT and using its benefits and power will result in better management and product handling in the cold chain. In this paper, Arduino based wireless sensor network for storage and logistics (land and sea) is presented and integrated with Xively cloud service to offer a real-time and innovative solution for pharmaceutical cold chain monitoring.

As a promising technology that enables ubiquitous computing and will lead the information technology industries of the next generation, the new field of sensor networks is one of the most active research topics today. From now on, each node, the network formation, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to environmental changes, in a process of continual creation and extinction. In this paper, we propose a address-Internetworking scheme for interactive networking between a sensor network and the Internet based on the TCP port-numbers. The proposed scheme enables internetworking between a sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and the Internet address scheme based on the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We implement the proposed address-Internetworking scheme using Berkeley TinyOS, Mica Motes, and IP. In addition we verify the proposed scheme by an interconnection experiment, which involves wireless sensor networks and the Internet, using IPv4/IPv6.

Due to the convergence between digital devices and the development of wireless communication technology, bit-signal sensor miniaturization, building an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which is a digital version of a paper chart that contains all of a patient's medical history and the information of Electronic Health Record (EHR), Ubiquitous healthcare (u-Healthcare) that can monitor their health status and provide personal healthcare service anytime and anywhere. Also, the appearance of cloud computing technology is one of the factors that accelerate the development of u-healthcare service. However, if the individual information to be used maliciously during the u-healthcare service utilization, leads to serious problems directly related to the individual's life because if it goes beyond the level of simple health screening and treatment, it may not provide accurate and reliable healthcare services. For this reason, we analyzed a variety of security issues related to u-healthcare service in cloud computing environment and described about directions of secure health information sharing system construction. In addition, we suggest the future developmental direction for th activation of u-healthcare industry.

In computer science, an encoding is a standardization of converting information to one format for audio, video or text. Therefore, the encoding information of the data should be known to open and read it and there are algorithms detecting encoder of the data. However, some informations of data could be disappeared by packet loss when transmitted on network, especially, if the data is snatched by packet sniffing or eavesdropping from wireless communications. In this paper, we improve the performance of encoding detection algorithm of 'uchardet' program for multi-byte encoded data with errors based on bit-shift algorithm. To simulate the performance, we generated Korean and Japanese text data with errors that is removed some random bits at random positions. Then the detection algorithm are tested using the data and 'uchardet-bitshift' showed better performance than 'uchardet'. When Korean texts are used, 'uchardet' could detect perfectly with ≤0.005% errors but it showed 0% detection rate with ≥1% errors while 'uchardet-bitshift' detected perfectly with ≤0.05% errors and it showed correct detection cases with ≥1% errors. Japanese texts with errors tend to report falsely as Chinese encoding because Japanese texts include lots of Chinese characters. As a results, we improved encoding detection algorithms by applying bit shift operation.

In this study, we propose a machine vision-based pedestrian signal detection algorithm that operates efficiently even in computing resource-constrained environments. This algorithm demonstrates high efficiency within limited resources and is designed to minimize the impact of ambient lighting by sequentially applying HSV color space-based image processing, binarization, morphological operations, labeling, and other steps to address issues such as light glare. Particularly, this algorithm is structured in a relatively simple form to ensure smooth operation within embedded system environments, considering the limitations of computing resources. Consequently, it possesses a structure that operates reliably even in environments with low computing resources. Moreover, the proposed pedestrian signal system not only includes pedestrian signal detection capabilities but also incorporates IoT functionality, allowing wireless integration with a web server. This integration enables users to conveniently monitor and control the status of the signal system through the web server. Additionally, successful implementation has been achieved for effectively controlling 50W LED pedestrian signals. This proposed system aims to provide a rapid and efficient pedestrian signal detection and control system within resource-constrained environments, contemplating its potential applicability in real-world road scenarios. Anticipated contributions include fostering the establishment of safer and more intelligent traffic systems.

Researches on services of vehicles have been mainly focused on how to provide useful information and entertainment for an in-vehicle driver. However, the needs are appreciably increased for more advanced services that help drivers to check and manage their vehicles conveniently, without requiring drivers to attach to their vehicles. It is a sort of ubiquitous computing, providing an intelligent interactive services for human at any time and any where. In this paper, we present an intelligent vehicle information system to enable a driver to remotely diagnose and control a vehicle via CDMA communication network connected to the Internet. The system improves mobility for diagnosis and control of vehicle by implementing a cut and call back mechanism, which allows the vehicle terminal to have access to the information server on the Internet via CDMA call. No matter where the driver is, he can obtain the remote diagnosis and control services on the web browser without any additional application installation. Design methodology is introduced and evaluation results are analyzed for the CDMA-based intelligent vehicle information system. The experimental results show that the response time of the vehicle terminal to a web client request is 10.302 seconds at the beginning and 646.44ms thereafter. The average response time of CAN sensor node to a vehicle terminal request is 6.669ms.

The bio-Sensors, which are sensing the vital signs of human bodies, are largely used by the medical equipment. Recently, the sensor network technology, which composes of the sensor interface for small-seize hardware, processor, the wireless communication module and battery in small sized hardware, has been extended to the area of bio-senor network systems due to the advances of the MEMS technology. In this paper we have suggested a design and implementation of a health care information system(called u-EMS) using a bio-sensor network technology that is a combination of the bio-sensor and the sensor network technology. In proposed system, we have used the following vital body sensors such as EKG sensor, the blood pressure sensor, the heart rate sensor, the pulse oximeter sensor and the glucose sensor. We have collected various vital sign data through the sensor network module and processed the data to implement a health care measurement system. Such measured data can be displayed by the wireless terminal(PDA, Cell phone) and the digital-frame display device. Finally, we have conducted a series of tests which considered both patient's vital sign and context-awared information in order to improve the effectiveness of the u-EMS.

최근 들어 무선인터넷 및 모바일 컴퓨팅 기술의 급속한 발전과 함께 향후 그 수요가 폭발적으로 증대될 것으로 예상되는 분야가 위치기반서비스(LBS, Location Based Service) 기술이다. 이동통시산업이 발달한 미국 및 유럽의 선진국에서는 지난 수년에 걸쳐 지속적으로 축적되어 온 정보기술을 통하여 현재 수많은 LBS 관련 기술개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 1999년 미국의 FCC(미연방통신위원회)는 무선 E119 규칙을 제정하였는데, 이 규칙은 LBS를 주목하게 한 결정적인 계기가 되었다. FCC는 미국내의 망 사업자들이 2001년 10월까지 이동전화 사용자가 응급 호출(911)을 하였을 때 67%는 100M 이내의 위치오차로, 95%는 300M 이내의 위치오차로 응급호출자의 위치정보를 제공해야 한다는 규정을 제정했다. 이때부터 각종 관련 회사들이 생겨나기 시작했으며, 사람들이 LBS에 관심을 가지기 시작하였다. 국내에서도 이동통신사업자 및 IMT-2000 사업자를 중심으로 LBS 도입을 적극 준비하고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 위치정보라는 것은 오래 전부터 사람들이 알고있던 사항이다. 이미 GPS라는 것을 이용하여 국방분야, 환경분야, 교통 및 물류 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있었기 때문이다. 그런데 왜 같은 위치정보를 활용하는 분야인데 LBS는 이토록 많은 관심을 불러일으키는가? 그것에 대한 답변은 바로 위치정보가 이동통신망과 연결되면서 대중적이고 일반적인 서비스가 가능해졌기 때문이다. 특히, LBS는 GIS가 정보통신 기술과 융합되면서 앞으로 추구해야 할 차세대 정보기술 분야라는 점에서 그 의미는 더 크다고 할 수 있다. 평균(平均) 0.322였다. 그리고 RaA를 모핵종(母核種)으로 가정(假定)했을 때 각핵종간(各核種間)의 방사평형비(放射平衡比)는 대개 $C_1>C_2>C_3$인 것으로 나타났다. 여기서 $C_1,\;C_2$ 및 $C_3$는 각각 RaA, RaB 및 RaC의 농도(濃度)를 나타낸다.0cm 깊이에서는 Pythium균(菌)과 Fusarium균(菌)을 제외(除外)하고 모두 14일간(日間)에 사멸(死滅)하였다. 6. 최고(最高)에 달(達)했다가 최저(最低)에 이르는 온도(溫度)의 반복적(反復的)인 파동(波動)이 있는 것에서 없는 것보다 단시간(短時間)에 사멸(死滅)하였다. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)에서 볼 때 하기고온기(夏期高溫期)의 재배(栽培) 휴한기(休閑期)에 PVC film을 사용(使用)하여 하우스를 밀폐(密閉)하거나 턴널을 만들어서 태양열(太陽熱)을 이용(利用)한 토양소독(土壤消毒)의 가능성(可能性)이 충분(充分)히 있는 것으로 생각된다.종합적(綜合的)으로 볼 때, diazinon 과 decamethrin의 처리(處理)는 포장(圃場)에서 벼멸구의 산란력(産卵力)과 성충수명을 증대(增大)시키고, 식이활동(食餌活動)을 촉진(促進)함으로서 벼멸구의 resurgence를 유발(誘發)하고 아울러 수도체(水稻體)의 hopperbun을 가속화시킬 가능성(可能性)이 있음을 알 수 있었다.는 점차 약하여 졌으나 catalase, invertase는 그 활성도가 일단 숙성중기에 높아졌다가 낮아졌다.n 이 pH 4.2이고 temperature는 $60^{\circ}C$이었다. 그리고
