커넥티드카는 네트워크에 연결된 자동차가 다른 자동차 및 도로 인프라뿐만 아니라 스마트 디바이스와 통신하고 여러 소스로부터 실시간 데이터를 수집하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 것이다. 커넥티드카의 등장으로 인해서 자동차와 클라우드 서비스의 결합이 빠르게 진행되고 있으나 자동차 데이터 중 실시간 처리가 필수인 데이터가 많다는 특성이 있다. 그러므로 멀리 떨어진 중앙 집중식 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 클라우드 컴퓨팅보다 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 디바이스와 가까운 가장자리에 위치한 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 엣지 컴퓨팅이 커넥티드카의 실시간성을 보장하는 기술로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 엣지 컴퓨팅과는 달리, 이동성이 있는 모바일 엣지 컴퓨팅(MEC) 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 요소를 찾아 원인을 분석하고 평가해 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 먼저, MEC 환경을 구축한 후 오픈 소스 시뮬레이터인 Edge Cloudsim 에 적용시켜 시뮬레이션을 한다. 실험 결과 MEC 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 원인은 모바일 디바이스의 태스크가 오프로딩 되거나 응답을 받기 전 WLAN 의 범위를 벗어났을 때 Task Failure가 발생하기 때문임이 증명되었다.

With the flood of digital data owing to the Internet of Things and big data, cloud service providers that process and store vast amount of data from multiple users can apply duplicate data elimination technique for efficient data management. The user experience can be improved as the notion of edge computing paradigm is introduced as an extension of the cloud computing to improve problems such as network congestion to a central cloud server and reduced computational efficiency. However, the addition of a new edge device that is not entirely reliable in the edge computing may cause increase in the computational complexity for additional cryptographic operations to preserve data privacy in duplicate identification and elimination process. In this paper, we propose an efficiency-improved duplicate data elimination protocol while preserving data privacy with an optimized user-edge-cloud communication framework by utilizing a trusted execution environment. Direct sharing of secret information between the user and the central cloud server can minimize the computational complexity in edge devices and enables the use of efficient encryption algorithms at the side of cloud service providers. Users also improve the user experience by offloading data to edge devices, enabling duplicate elimination and independent activity. Through experiments, efficiency of the proposed scheme has been analyzed such as up to 78x improvements in computation during data outsourcing process compared to the previous study which does not exploit trusted execution environment in edge computing architecture.

In this paper, we propose an edge computing-based exercise data collection device that can be provided for exercise rehabilitation services. In the existing cloud computing method, when the number of users increases, the throughput of the data center increases, causing a lot of delay. In this paper, we design and implement a device that measures and estimates the position of keypoints of body joints for movement information collected by a 3D camera from the user's side using edge computing and transmits them to the server. This can build a seamless information collection environment without load on the cloud system. The results of this study can be utilized in a personalized rehabilitation exercise coaching system through IoT and edge computing technologies for various users who want exercise rehabilitation.

In this paper, we design a smart factory risk improvement system and risk improvement method using AI edge devices. The smart factory risk improvement system collects, analyzes, prevents, and promptly responds to the worker's work performance process in the smart factory using AI edge devices, and can reduce the risk that may occur during work with improving the defect rate when workers perfom jobs. In particular, based on worker image information, worker biometric information, equipment operation information, and quality information of manufactured products, it is possible to set an abnormal risk condition, and it is possible to improve the risk so that the work is efficient and for the accurate performance. In addition, all data collected from cameras and IoT sensors inside the smart factory are processed by the AI edge device instead of all data being sent to the cloud, and only necessary data can be transmitted to the cloud, so the processing speed is fast and it has the advantage that security problems are low. Additionally, the use of AI edge devices has the advantage of reducing of data communication costs and the costs of data transmission bandwidth acquisition due to decrease of the amount of data transmission to the cloud.

In a dynamically changing time-varying network environment, the optimal moving pattern of edge devices can be applied to distributing computing resources to edge cloud servers or deploying new edge servers in the FEC(Fog/Edge Computing) environment. In addition, this can be used to build an environment capable of efficient computation offloading to alleviate latency problems, which are disadvantages of cloud computing. This paper proposes an algorithm to extract the optimal moving pattern by analyzing the moving path of multiple edge devices requiring application services in an arbitrary spatio-temporal environment based on frequency. A comparative experiment with A^* and Dijkstra algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm uses a relatively fast execution time and less memory, and extracts a more accurate optimal path. Furthermore, it was deduced from the comparison result with the A^* algorithm that applying weights (preference, congestion, etc.) simultaneously with frequency can increase path extraction accuracy.

On-device AI technology, which can operate AI models at the edge devices to support real-time processing and privacy enhancement, is attracting attention. As intelligent IoT is applied to various industries, services utilizing the on-device AI technology are increasing significantly. However, general deep learning models require a lot of computational resources for inference and learning. Therefore, various lightweighting methods such as quantization and pruning have been suggested to operate deep learning models in embedded edge devices. Among the lightweighting methods, we analyze how to lightweight and apply deep learning models to edge computing devices, focusing on pruning technology in this paper. In particular, we utilize dynamic and static pruning techniques to evaluate the inference speed, accuracy, and memory usage of a lightweight AI vision model. The content analyzed in this paper can be used for intelligent video control systems or video security systems in autonomous vehicles, where real-time processing are highly required. In addition, it is expected that the content can be used more effectively in various IoT services and industries.

Frequent false positives alarm from the Intelligent Selective Control System have raised significant concerns. These persistent issues have led to declines in operational efficiency and market credibility among agents. Developing a new model or replacing the existing one to mitigate false positives alarm entails substantial opportunity costs; hence, improving the quality of the training dataset is pragmatic. However, smaller organizations face challenges with inadequate capabilities in dataset collection and refinement. This paper proposes an automatic human pose data collection system centered around a human pose estimation model, utilizing camera-based sensor fusion techniques and edge devices. The system facilitates the direct collection and real-time processing of field data at the network periphery, distributing the computational load that typically centralizes. Additionally, by directly labeling field data, it aids in constructing new training datasets.
