This paper proposes a method taking advantage of Fog computing and SDN in the connected vehicle environment which is having an unstable communication channel and a dynamic topology. For this purpose, the controller should understand the current state of the overall network by maintaining recent network topology, especially, the mobility information of mobile nodes. These are managed by the controller, and are important in unstable conditions in the mobile environment. The mobility levels are divided into 3 categories. We can efficiently exploit that information. By utilizing network state information, we suggest two outcomes. First, we reduce the control message overhead by adjusting the period of beacon messages. Second, we propose a recovery process to prepare the communication failure. We can efficiently recover connection failure through mobility information. Furthermore, we suggest a path recovery by decoupling the cloud level and the fog level in accordance with application data types. The simulation results show that the control message overhead and the connection failure time are decreased by approximately 55% and 5%, respectively in comparison to the existing method.

In tunneling and road cuts by blasting, it is of the utmost importance that the remaining rock is of high quality in order to avoid rockfall, rockslides and excessive maintenance work. Therefore, numerous blasting techniques which make use of decoupled charge or shock wave superposition effect have been used to control overbrake. In this paper. some approximate method for the determination of blast load according to the charge condition was introduced at first and, instrumented tests were conducted in small scale transparent material to investigate the shape and amplitude of blast load around the bore hole. Compare to the fully coupled charge, low amplitude of blast load around the bore hole was observed in the decoupled charge and explosion gas pressure was important in the shape of blast load. Therefore, quasi-static behaviour of the crack pattern was shown due to low loading rate.

Evapotranspriation (ET) was measured by eddy covariance method in two key ecosystems in Korea: the Seolmacheon site (a mixed forest in a complex terrain, SMK) and the Cheongmicheon site (a homogeneous rice paddy, CRK). By using the multi-year observations (SMK: Sep. 2007 - Dec. 2009, CRK: Aug. 2008 - Dec. 2009), we quantified ET and analyzed its temporal variations and control mechanisms based on the radiatively coupled combination equation. During the study period, the accumulated precipitation was about 3213 mm for the SMK site, of which about 30% (i.e., 990 mm), returned to the atmosphere as ET. At the CRK site from Jan. - Dec., 2009, the annual ET was 553 mm, which was about 40% of the annual rainfall (of 1401 mm). Both sites showed a characteristic seasonality with mid-season depression in ET that are associated with the reduced amount of available energy during the monsoon season. The decoupling parameter (${\Omega}^*$), which indicates the measure of interaction between vegetation and the atmosphere, averaged about 0.4 for the SMK site and the CRK site during the growing season. The ET from both sites was more influenced by air saturation deficit and surface conductance than available energy.

In this paper, we present a resource conscious approach to designing distributed real-time systems as an extension of our original approach [8][9] which was limited to single processor systems. Starting from a given task graph and a set of end-to-end constraints, we automatically generate task attributes (e.g., periods and deadlines) such that (i) the task set is schedulable, and (ii) the end-to-end timing constraints are satisfied. The method works by first transforming the end-to-end timing constraints into a set of intermediate constraints on task attributes, and then solving the intermediate constraints. The complexity of constraint solving is tackled by reducing the problem into relatively tractable parts, and then solving each sub-problem using heuristics to enhance schedulability. In this paper, we build on our single processor solution and show how it can be extended for distributed systems. The extension to distributed systems reveals many interesting sub-problems, solutions to which are presented in this paper. The main challenges arise from end-to-end propagation delay constraints, and therefore this paper focuses on our solutions for such constraints. We begin with extending our communication scheme to provide tight delay bounds across a network, while hiding the low-level details of network communication. We also develop an algorithm to decompose end-to-end bounds into local bounds on each processor of making extensive use of relative load on each processor. This results in significant decoupling of constraints on each processor, without losing its capability to find a schedulable solution. Finally, we show, how each of these parts fit into our overall methodology, using our previous results for single processor systems.

In grid-interconnection system, a fast, robust and precise phase angle detector is most important to grid synchronization and the active power control. The phase angle can be easily estimated by synchronous dq PLL system. On the other hand under unbalanced voltage condition, synchronous dq PLL system has problem that harmonics occur to phase angle or magnitude of grid voltage because of the effect of the negative sequence components. So, To eliminate the negative sequence components, the PLL method using APF (All Pass Filter) in a stationery reference frame to extract positive sequence components under unbalanced voltage condition is researched. In this paper, we propose a new PLL method with decoupling network using APF in a synchronous reference frame to extract the positive sequence components of the grid voltage under unbalanced grid. The cut-off frequency of APF in a synchronous reference frame can be set to twice of the fundamental frequency comparing with that of APF in a stationery reference frame which is the fundamental frequency. The proposed PLL strategy can detect the phase angle quickly and accurately under unbalanced gird voltages. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed strategy under different kind of voltage dips.
