Although deep learning-based visual image recognition technology has evolved rapidly, most of the commonly used methods focus solely on recognition accuracy. However, the demand for low latency and low power consuming image recognition with an acceptable accuracy is rising for practical applications in edge devices. For example, most Internet of Things (IoT) devices have a low computing power requiring more pragmatic use of these technologies; in addition, drones or smartphones have limited battery capacity again requiring practical applications that take this into consideration. Furthermore, some people do not prefer that central servers process their private images, as is required by high performance serverbased recognition technologies. To address these demands, the object and scene recognition technologies for mobile/embedded devices that enable optimized neural networks to operate in mobile and embedded environments are gaining attention. In this report, we briefly summarize the recent trends and issues of object and scene recognition technologies for mobile and embedded devices.

Nowadays, technologies such as RFID, sensor network makes our life comfortable more and more. In this paper we propose a wearable computing system for blind and deaf person who can be easily out of sight from our technology. We are making a wearable computing system that is consisted of embedded board to processing data, ultrasonic sensors to get distance data and motors that make vibration as a signal to see the screen for a deaf person. This system offers environmental informations by text and voice. For example, distance data from a obstacle to a person are calculated by data compounding module using sensed ultrasonic reflection time. This data is converted to text or voice by main processing module, and are serviced to a handicapped person. Furthermore we will extend this system using a voice recognition module and text to voice convertor module to help communication among the blind and deaf persons.

Heterogeneous computing is a technology that utilizes different types of processors to perform parallel processing. It maximizes task processing and energy efficiency by leveraging various computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. On the other hand, edge computing has developed with IoT and 5G technologies. It is a distributed computing that utilizes computing resources close to clients, thereby offloading the central server. It has evolved to intelligent edge computing combined with artificial intelligence. Intelligent edge computing enables total data processing, such as context awareness, prediction, control, and simple processing for the data collected on the edge. If heterogeneous computing can be successfully applied in the edge, it is expected to maximize job processing efficiency while minimizing dependence on the central server. In this paper, experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of various parallel programming models on high-end and low-end edge devices by using benchmark applications. We analyzed the performance of five parallel programming models on the Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Orin Nano as low-end and high-end devices, respectively. In the experiment, OpenACC showed the best performance on the low-end edge device and OpenSYCL on the high-end device due to the stability and optimization of system libraries.

The phrase "Ubiquitous Computing" has become popular ever since Mark Weiser used it in an article. It is to realize a computerized environment in which small computers are embedded and cooperate with each other. This environment will support many activities of our daily life. In a Ubiquitous Computing environment, various devices will be connected to the network from houses and buildings. Therefore it is necessary to ensure network security and to protect private data from tapping, falsification and the disguising of identity by others. This study reviews the Ubiquitous Computing technologies in detail and outlines the design concept of the Stream Cipher Algorithm.

최근, ARM Mali와 같은 여러 임베디드 프로세서들이 OpenCL과 같은 GPGPU 프레임워크를 지원함에 따라 기존 PC 환경에서 활용되던 GPGPU 기술이 임베디드 시스템 영역으로 확대 되고 있다. 그러나 임베디드 시스템은 PC와는 상이한 구조를 갖으며, 저전력이나 실시간성과 같은 성능이 더욱 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 GPGPU환경에서 AES 암호화 알고리즘을 개방형 범용 병렬 컴퓨팅 프레임워크인 OpenCL을 사용하여 구현하고 이를 CPU만을 이용한 구현과 비교한다. 실험결과, 1000KByte의 데이터 사이즈의 128비트 AES 암호화 시에 OpenCL을 사용하여 GPU로 병렬 처리하는 것이 OpenMP를 사용하여 CPU상에서 병렬 처리한 방식보다 응답 시간은 최대 1/150, 에너지 소비량은 최대 1/290로 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 호스트와 GPU 디바이스 간에 메모리를 공유하는 임베디드 구조의 특성에 최적화하여 메모리 복제를 하지 않는 기법을 적용하는 경우 응답시간과 에너지 소비량에서 최대 100% 이상의 추가적인 성능개선을 이룰 수 있었으며, 연구에서 사용한 데이터의 크기에 비례하여 더 높은 성능의 개선이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

Structural control technologies have attracted great interest from the earthquake engineering community over the last few decades as an effective method of reducing undesired structural responses. Traditional structural control systems employ large quantities of cables to connect structural sensors, actuators, and controllers into one integrated system. To reduce the high-costs associated with labor-intensive installations, wireless communication can serve as an alternative real-time communication link between the nodes of a control system. A prototype wireless structural sensing and control system has been physically implemented and its performance verified in large-scale shake table tests. This paper introduces the design of this prototype system and investigates the feasibility of employing decentralized and partially decentralized control strategies to mitigate the challenge of communication latencies associated with wireless sensor networks. Closed-loop feedback control algorithms are embedded within the wireless sensor prototypes allowing them to serve as controllers in the control system. To validate the embedment of control algorithms, a 3-story half-scale steel structure is employed with magnetorheological (MR) dampers installed on each floor. Both numerical simulation and experimental results show that decentralized control solutions can be very effective in attaining the optimal performance of the wireless control system.

Driven by security and real-time demands of Internet of Things (IoT), the timing of fog computing and edge computing have gradually come into place. Gateways bear more nearby computing, storage, analysis and as an intelligent broker of the whole computing lifecycle in between local devices and the remote cloud. In fog computing, the edge broker requires X-aware capabilities that combines software programmability, stream processing, hardware optimization and various connectivity to deal with such as security, data abstraction, network latency, service classification and workload allocation strategy. The prosperous of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) pushes the possibility of gateway capabilities further landed. In this paper, we propose a software-defined gateway (SDG) scheme for fog computing paradigm termed as Fog Computing Zero-Knowledge Gateway that strengthens data protection and resilience merits designed for industrial internet of things or highly privacy concerned hybrid cloud scenarios. It is a proxy for fog nodes and able to integrate with existing commodity gateways. The contribution is that it converts Privacy-Enhancing Technologies rules into provable statements without knowing original sensitive data and guarantees privacy rules applied to the sensitive data before being propagated while preventing potential leakage threats. Some logical functions can be offloaded to any programmable micro-controller embedded to achieve higher computing efficiency.

We introduce new type of networked robot, Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC), embedded with ATLAS Service-oriented architecture for enhancing the space sensing capability. URC is a network-based robotic system developed by ETRI. For years of experience in deploying service with ATLAS sensor platform for elder and people with special needs in smart houses, we need networked robots to assist elder people in their successful daily living. Recently, pervasive computing technologies reveals possibilities of networked robots in smart spaces, consist of sensors, actuators and smart devices can collaborate with the other networked robot as a mobile sensing platform, a complex and sophisticated actuator and a human interface. This paper provides our experience in designing and implementing system architecture to integrate URC robots in pervasive computing environments using the University of Florida's ATLAS service-oriented architecture.
