In this paper, I study the Raft leader election process to enhance fault tolerance in a network composed of minimal nodes by considering various failure situations that may occur during consensus in a private blockchain network. In the process of processing network partition situations, node failure situations, and leader node failure situations, an Activity Score variable is set, so that the platform is configured with the minimum number of nodes in a network partition situation or node failure situation, and when successful leader election is required, it can be modified. Leader election is conducted according to the Raft algorithm, and leader node election and network failures are minimized based on trust to enhance fault tolerance even in a platform environment where the minimum number of nodes is operated. Excellent performance of over 12% on average was confirmed.

This paper investigates a synchronization algorithm for a distributed network which does not have a centralized infrastructure. In order to operate a distributed network, synchronization across distributed terminals should be acquired in advance, and hence, a plenty of distributed synchronization algorithms have been studied extensively in the past. However, most of the previous studies focus on the synchronization only in fault-free networks. Thus, if there are some malfunctioning terminals in the network, the synchronization can not be guaranteed with conventional distributed synchronization methods. In this paper, we propose a reliability-based adaptive consensus algorithm which can effectively acquire the synchronization across distributed terminals and confirm performance of the proposed algorithm by conducting numerical simulations.

Recently, due to the introduction of distributed energy resources, the optimal resource allocation problem of the power network is more and more important, and the distributed resource allocation method is required to process huge amount of data in large-scale power networks. In the optimal resource allocation problem, many studies have been conducted on the case when the supply-demand balance is satisfied due to the limitation of the generation capacity of each generator, but the studies considering the supply-demand imbalance, that total demand exceeds the maximum generation capacity, have rarely been considered. In this paper, we propose the consensus-based distributed algorithm for the optimal resource allocation of power network considering the supply-demand imbalance condition as well as the supply-demand balance condition. The proposed distributed algorithm is designed to allocate the optimal resources when the supply-demand balance condition is satisfied, and to measure the amount of required resources when the supply-demand is imbalanced. Finally, we conduct the simulations to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Lora, a non-band network technology of the long-distance wireless standard LPWAN standard, uses ABP and OTTA methods and AES-128-based encryption algorithm (shared key) for internal terminal authentication and integrity verification. Lora's recent firmware tampering vulnerability and shared-key encryption algorithm structure make it difficult to defend against MITM attacks. In this study, the consensus algorithm(PBFT) is applied to the Lora network to enhance safety. It performs authentication and PBFT block chain creation by searching for node groups using the GPS module. As a result of the performance analysis, we established a new Lora trust network and proved that the latency of the consensus algorithm was improved. This study is a 4th industry convergence study and is intended to help improve the security technology of Lora devices in the future.

A new consensus algorithm for the prediction of tropical cyclone track has been developed. Conventional consensus is a simple average of a few fixed models that showed the good performance in track prediction for the past few years. Meanwhile, the consensus in this study is a weighted average of a few models that may change for every individual forecast time. The models are selected as follows. The first step is to find the analogous past tropical cyclone tracks to the current track. The next step is to evaluate the model performances for those past tracks. Finally, we take the weighted average of the selected models. More weight is given to the higher performance model. This new algorithm has been named as DYTRAP (DYnamic data-base Typhoon tRAck Prediction) in the sense that the data base is used to find the analogous past tracks and the effective models for every individual track prediction case. DYTRAP has been applied to all 2009 tropical cyclone track prediction. The results outperforms those of all models as well as all the official forecasts of the typhoon centers. In order to prove the real usefulness of DYTRAP, it is necessary to apply the DYTRAP system to the real time prediction because the forecast in typhoon centers usually uses 6-hour or 12-hour-old model guidances.

현재 주로 사용되고 있는 화재 감지 장치들은 경고 기반으로 되어 있어 정확한 화재 발생의 위치 검색이 어려우며 장치의 고장이 발생한 경우 고장 유/무의 확인이 어려워 보다 큰 인명 피해 및 재산 피해를 가져올 수 있다. 센서 네트워크 시스템은 통신매체 없이 데이터 송/수신이 가능하며 이를 통한 모니터링 환경의 구축이 쉬워 위치검색 및 고장 검출 알고리즘의 적용이 간단하다. 본 논문에서는 WSN 기반의 화재 감지 시스템을 제안하며 오류검출 알고리즘인 Consensus 알고리즘을 적용하여 그 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.

비대면 사회 확산에 따라 디지털 콘텐츠 등 온라인상으로 거래가 관리되는 디지털 자산의 거래가 증가하고 있다. 영상 및 이미지 등 디지털 자산의 경우 창작자가 자산에 대한 충분한 대가를 받지 못하고 불법 거래 내역에 대한 파악이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 NFT적용을 통한 효율적 디지털 자산 관리를 위하여 신뢰성과 보안을 강화한 블록체인 합의알고리즘을 연구하고 성능평가를 통하여 기존 합의알고리즘 대비 우수성을 증명하였다.

Author verification is challenging because of the diversity in writing styles. We propose an enhanced handwriting verification method that combines handcrafted and automatically extracted features. The method uses a genetic algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of the feature set. We consider offline Bangla handwriting content and evaluate the proposed method using handcrafted features with a simple logistic regression, radial basis function network, and sequential minimal optimization as well as automatically extracted features using a convolutional neural network. The handcrafted features outperform the automatically extracted ones, achieving an average verification accuracy of 94.54% for 100 writers. The handcrafted features include Radon transform, histogram of oriented gradients, local phase quantization, and local binary patterns from interwriter and intrawriter content. The genetic algorithm reduces the feature dimensionality and selects salient features using a support vector machine. The top five experimental results are obtained from the optimal feature set selected using a consensus strategy. Comparisons with other methods and features confirm the satisfactory results.

This paper proposes the new algorithm for the extraction of the corresponding points. Our algorithm is based on RANSAC(Random Sample Consensus) with EM(Expectation-Maximization). In the procedure of RANSAC, N-points are selected by the result of EM instead of the random selection. EM+SAC algorithm is applied to the correspondence for the mosaicing.
