Blockchain technology is a system in which data from users participating in blockchain networks is distributed and stored. Bitcoin and Ethereum are attracting global attention, and the utilization of blockchain is expected to be endless. However, the need for blockchain data privacy protection is emerging in various financial, medical, and real estate sectors that process personal information due to the transparency of disclosing all data in the blockchain to network participants. Although studies using smart contracts, homomorphic encryption, and cryptographic key methods have been mainly conducted to protect existing blockchain data privacy, this paper proposes data privacy using matrix character relocation techniques differentiated from existing papers. The approach proposed in this paper consists largely of two methods: how to relocate the original data to matrix characters, how to return the deployed data to the original. Through qualitative experiments, we evaluate the safety of the approach proposed in this paper, and demonstrate that matrix character relocation will be sufficiently applicable in private blockchain environments by measuring the time it takes to revert applied data to original data.

Internet of Things(IoT) technology is developing to a stage where the Internet and objects are connected and objects themselves analyze and judge data to interconnect the real world and the virtual world in real time. This technology consists of sensors, actuators, devices, and networks, and it is being applied in various fields. As the number of IoT devices and applications increases, data traffic also increases. In this paper, a messaging system is designed and implemented in order to analyze the performance between an IoT device and MQTT broker. The experimental was performed to measure MQTT-based round-trip time and message transmission time between the IoT device and the broker. The result shows that there is no packet loss, and propagation delay affects round-trip time.

Due to the dramatic advancement of IoT (Internet of Things), it is expected that tens of billions of IoT devices will be connected by the year 2024. Furthermore, as IoT technologies evolves, the security management in IoT platforms has become a critical issue. For example, there are interworking problems between heterogeneous IoT platforms caused by differences from communication protocols, security policies, etc. in each platform. In addition, unsecured interworking can cause major security issues including the information leakage. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, a security interworking architecture is proposed and implemented in both FIWARE and oneM2M, which are representative IoT platforms. First, the security architecture of FIWARE is analyzed and implemented, and then the security framework based on OAuth 2.0 is developed on Mobius platform. Finally, in order to validate the proposed security interworking architecture, a LED (Light-Emitting Diode) example, where the LED is controlled by only authorized users, is developed. The proposed architecture can be extended to the diverse IoT platforms and devices.

Recently, the technology of device-to-device(D2D) communication has been receiving big attention to improve the system performance since the amount of high quality/large capacity data traffic from smart phones and various devices of Internet of Things increase rapidly in 5G/6G based next generation cellular networks. However, even though the system performance of macro cells increase by reusing the frequency, the performance of macro user equipments(MUEs) decrease because of the strong interference from D2D user equipments(DUEs). Therefore, this paper proposes a dynamic channel management(DCM) scheme for DUEs to guarantee the performance of MUEs as the number of DUEs increases in next generation downlink cellular networks. In the proposed D2D DCM scheme, macro base stations dynamically assign subchannels to DUEs based on the interference information and signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) of MUEs. Simulation results show that the proposed D2D DCM scheme outperforms other schemes in terms of the mean MUE capacity as the threshold of the SINR of MUEs incareases.

In this paper we are trying to explain the effect of temperature on polymer membrane exchange water electrolysis (PEMWE) and polymer membrane exchange fuel cell (PEMFC) simultaneously. A comprehensive studying approach is proposed and applied to a 50Watt PEM fuel cell system in the laboratory. The monitoring process is carried out through wireless LoRa node and gateway network concept. In this experiment, temperature sensor measure the temperature level of electrolyzer, fuel cell stack and $H_2$ storage tank and transmitted the measured value of data to the management control unit (MCU) through the individual node and gateway of each PEMWE and PEMFC. In MCU we can monitor the temperature and its effect on the performance of the fuel cell system and control it to keep the lower heating value to increase the efficiency of the fuel cell system. And we also proposed a mathematical model and operation algorithm for PEMWE and PEMFC. In this model, PEMWE gives higher efficiency at lower heating level where as PEMFC gives higher efficiency at higher heating value. In order to increase the performance of the fuel cell system, we are going to monitor, communicate and control the temperature and pressure of PEMWE and PEMFC by installing these systems in a building of university which is located in the southern part of Korea.

Currently, disasters occurring in Korea are characterized by unpredictability and complexity. Due to these features, property damage and human casualties are increasing. Since the initial response process of these disasters is directly related to the scale and the spread of damage, optimal decision-making is essential, and information of the site must be obtained through timely applicable sensors. However, it is difficult to make appropriate decisions because indiscriminate information is collected rather than necessary information in the currently operated Disaster and Safety Situation Office. In order to improve the current situation, this study proposed a framework that quickly collects various disaster image information, extracts information required to support decision-making, and utilizes it. To this end, a web-based display system and a smartphone application were proposed. Data were collected close to real time, and various analysis results were shared. Moreover, the capability of supporting decision-making was reviewed based on images of actual disaster sites acquired through CCTV, smartphones, and UAVs. In addition to the reviewed capability, it is expected that effective disaster management can be contributed if institutional mitigation of the acquisition and sharing of disaster-related data can be achieved together.

Human resource management is bringing the various changes with the IT technology. In particular, if HRM is non-scientific method such as group management, physical plant, working hours constraints, personal contacts, etc, the current enterprise human resources management(e-HRM) appeared in the individual dimension management, virtual workspace (for example: smart work center, home work, etc.), working time flexibility and elasticity, computer-based statistical data and the scientific method of analysis and management has been a big difference in the sense. Therefore, depending on changes in the environment, companies have introduced a variety of techniques as RFID card, fingerprint time & attendance systems in order to build more efficient and strategic human resource management system. In this paper, time and attendance, access control management system was developed using multi camera for 2D and 3D face recognition technology-based for efficient enterprise human resource management. We had an issue with existing 2D-style face-recognition technology for lighting and the attitude, and got more than 90% recognition rate against the poor readability. In addition, 3D face recognition has computational complexities, so we could improve hybrid video recognition and the speed using 3D and 2D in parallel.

Cloud manufacturing is a new concept of manufacturing process that works like a single factory with connected multiple factories. The cloud manufacturing system is a kind of large-scale CPS that produces products through the collaboration of distributed manufacturing facilities based on technologies such as cloud computing, IoT, and virtualization. It utilizes diverse and distributed facilities based on centralized information systems, which allows flexible composition user-centric and service-oriented large-scale systems. However, the cloud manufacturing system is composed of a large number of highly heterogeneous subsystems. It has difficulties in interconnection, data exchange, information processing, and system verification for system construction. In this paper, we derive the user requirements of various aspects of the cloud manufacturing system, such as functional, human, trustworthiness, timing, data and composition, based on the CPS Framework, which is the analysis methodology for CPS. Next, by analyzing the user requirements we define the system requirements including scalability, composability, interactivity, dependability, timing, interoperability and intelligence. We map the defined CPS system requirements to the requirements of oneM2M, which is the platform standard for IoT, so that the support of the system requirements at the level of the IoT platform is verified through Mobius, which is the implementation of oneM2M standard. Analyzing the verification result, finally, we propose a large-scale cloud manufacturing platform based on oneM2M that can meet the cloud manufacturing requirements to support the overall features of the Cloud Manufacturing CPS with dependability.

구글에서 공개한 Tensorflow를 이용한 여러 학문 분야의 연구가 활발하다. 농업 시설환경을 대상으로 한 빅데이터의 축적이 증가함과 아울러 실효적인 정보 획득을 위한 각종 데이터 분석 및 마이닝 기법에 대한 연구 또한 활발한 상황이다. 한편, 타 분야의 성공적인 심층학습기법 응용사례에 비하여 농업 분야에서의 응용은 초기 성장 단계라 할 수 있다. 이는 농업 현장에서 취득한 정보의 난해성 및 완성도 높은 생육/환경 모델링 정보의 부재로 실효적인 전과정 처리 기술 도출에 소요되는 시간, 비용, 연구 환경이 상대적으로 부족하기 때문일 것이다. 특히, 센서 기반 데이터 취득 기술 증가에 따라 비약적으로 방대해진 수집 데이터를 시간 복잡도가 높은 심층 학습 모델링 연산에 기계적으로 단순 적용할 경우 시간 효율적인 측면에서 성공적인 결과 도출에 애로가 있을 것이다. 매우 높은 시간 복잡도를 해결하기 위하여 제시된 하드웨어 가속 기능의 경우 일부 개발환경에 국한이 되어 있다. 일례로, 구글의 Tensorflow는 오픈소스 기반 병렬 클러스터링 기술인 MPICH를 지원하는 알고리즘을 공개하지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 심층학습 기법 연구에 있어서, 예상 가능한 다양한 자원을 활용하여 최대한 연산의 결과를 빨리 도출할 수 있는 하드웨어적인 접근 방법을 모색하였다. 호스트에서 수행하는 일방적인 학습 알고리즘과 달리 이기종간 심층 학습이 가능하기 위해선 우선, NFS(Network File System)를 이용하여 데이터 계층이 상호 연결이 되어야 한다. 이를 위해서 고속 네트워크를 기반으로 한 NFS의 이용이 필수적이다. 둘째로 제한된 자원의 한계를 극복하기 위한 메모 공유 라이브러리가 필요하다. 셋째로 이기종간 프로세서에 최적화된 병렬 처리용 컴파일러를 이용해야 한다. 가장 중요한 부분은 이기종간의 처리 능력에 따른 작업을 고르게 분배할 수 있는 작업 스케쥴링이 수행되어야 하며, 이는 처리하고자 하는 데이터의 형태에 따라 매우 가변적이므로 해당 데이터 도메인에 대한 엄밀한 사전 벤치마킹이 수행되어야 한다. 이러한 요구조건을 대부분 충족하는 Open-CL ver1.2(https://www.khronos.org/opencl/)를 이용하였다. 최신의 Open-CL 버전은 2.2이나 본 연구를 위하여 준비한 4가지 이기종 시스템에서 모두 공통적으로 지원하는 버전은 1.2이다. 실험적으로 선정된 4가지 이기종 시스템은 1) Windows 10 Pro, 2) Linux-Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS-x86_64, 3) MAC OS X 10.11 4) Linux-Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS-ARM Cortext-A15 이다. 비교 분석을 위하여 NVIDIA 사에서 제공하는 Pascal Titan X 2식을 SLI로 구성한 시스템을 준비하였다. 개별 시스템에서 별도로 컴파일 된 바이너리의 이름을 통일하고, 개별 시스템의 코어수를 동일하게 균등 배분하여 100 Hz의 데이터로 입력이 되는 온도 정보와 조도 정보를 입력으로 하고 이를 습도정보에 Linear Gradient Descent Optimizer를 이용하여 Epoch 10,000회의 학습을 수행하였다. 4종의 이기종에서 총 32개의 코어를 이용한 학습에서 17초 내외로 연산 수행을 마쳤으나, 비교 시스템에서는 11초 내외로 연산을 마치는 결과가 나왔다. 기보유 하드웨어의 적절한 활용이 가능한 심층학습 기법에 대한 연구를 지속할 것이다
