  • These days, IoT attached diaper are available in markets. It measures child's temperature, oxygen rate, or even humidity of diaper and send the result directly to parent's smartphone. This research emphasize the followings, due to the fact that use of IoT in context of infant care should ultimately be leaded to infant's wellbeing and healthy development. First, there can be many problems when you only focus on usability without careful consideration of the accuracy of the infant's health information produced by the IoT. Second, infant's needs and nature of child should be reflected when developing IoT which supports infant care. The use of the IoT should not take away the chance of physical contact such as eye-contact or patting and hugging between the caregiver and baby. IoT is very important, however in terms of infant development, connect with IoT cannot antecede contact with child.

  • Sensors equipped in Internet-of-Thing (IoT) devices are used to measure the surrounding contexts, and IoT applications analyze the contexts to infer situations and provide situation-specific smart services. There are different context acquisition schemes including pulling, pushing, and broadcasting. Most IoT devices support only one of the schemes. Hence, there can be an incompatible issue on data acquisition schemes between applications and devices, and consequently it could result in an increased development cost and inefficiency on application maintenance. This paper presents design patterns which can effectively remedy the incompatibility problem. By applying the patterns, IoT applications with incompatibility can be systematically and effectively developed. And, also its maintainability is expected to increase.

  • The general Wi-Fi network connection structure is that a number of IoT (Internet of Things) sensor nodes are directly connected to one AP (Access Point) node. In this structure, the range of the network that can be established within the specified specifications such as the range of signal strength (RSSI) to which the AP node can connect and the maximum connection capacity is limited. To overcome these limitations, multiple middleware bridge technologies for dynamic scalability and load balancing were studied. However, these network expansion technologies have difficulties in terms of the rules and conditions of AP nodes installed during the initial network deployment phase In this paper, an intelligent edge computing IoT device is developed for constructing an intelligent autonomous cluster edge computing network and applying it to real-time road danger context aware and notification system through an intelligent risk situation recognition algorithm.

  • It is necessary to dynamic recognition system with real time loading height and pressure of the loading waste, the drying of wood, batteries, and plastic wastes, which are representative compositional wastes, and the carbonization changes on the surface. The dynamic context awareness service constituted a platform based on Universal Middleware system using BCN convergence communication service as a Ambient SDK model. A context awareness system should be constructed to determine the cause of the fire based on the analysis data of fermentation heat point with natural ignition from the load waste. Furthermore, a real-time dynamic service platform that could be apply to the configuration of scenarios for each type from early warning fire should be built using Universal Middleware. Thus, this issue for Internet of Things realize recognition platform for analyzing low temperature fired fire possibility data should be dynamically configured and presented.

  • Data confidentiality refers to the characteristic that information kept undisclosed or hidden from unauthorized parties. It considered a key security requirement in current supply chain management (SCM) systems. Currently, academia and industry tend to adopt blockchain and IoT technologies in order to develop efficient and secure SCM systems. However, providing confidential data sharing among these technologies is quite challenging due to the limitations associated with blockchain and IoT devices. This review paper illustrates the importance of preserving data confidentiality in SCM systems by highlighting the state of the art on confidentiality-preserving methodologies in the context of blockchain based IoT-SCM systems and the challenges associated with it.

  • A monitoring system was constructed to identify the cause of occurrence based on data on the analysis of the ignition factors of fermentation heat generated from loading waste. Universal Middleware was used to provide a real-time run-time environment for the configuration and speed of scenarios for each type of fire early warning. It is necessary to dynamically recognize the loading height and pressure of the loading waste, the drying of wood, batteries, and plastic waste, which are representative compositional wastes, and the carbonization changes on the surface. Therefore, this IoT situation recognition platform for analyzing low-temperature-fired fire possibility data was dynamically configured and presented.

  • An Internet of Things(IoT) technology which provides intelligent services by combining context-awareness based intelligences, inter-communication is made of between things and things or between things and person through the network connected with intelligent things is spreading rapidly. Especially as this technology is converged into smart device, mobile, cloud, big data technologies, it is applied into various domains. Therefore, this is different from existing Web or Mobile Application. New types of IoT applications are emerging by adapting IoT into Web or mobile. Because IoT application is not only focused on software but also considering hardware or things aspect, there are limitations existing development process. Existing development processes don't consider analysis and design techniques considering both hardware and things. We propose not only a meta-model for development process which can support IoT application's development but also meta-models for main activities in this paper. Especially we define modeling elements by using UML's extension mechanisms, provide development process, and suggest design techniques how to apply those elements into IoT application's modeling phase. Because there are many types of IoT application's type, we propose an Android and Arduino-based on IoT application as a case study. We expect that proposed technique can be applied into many of various IoT application development and design with a form of flexible and extensible as well as main functionalities or elements are more concretely described. As a result, it brings IoT application's flexibility and the effect of quality improvement.

  • Internet-of-Things(IoT) is the computing environment to provide valuable services by interacting with multiple devices, where diverse devices are connected within the existing Internet infrastructure and acquire context information by sensing. As the concern of IoT has been increased recently, most of the industries develop many IoT devices. And, many people are focused on the IoT application that is utilizing different technologies, which are sensor network, communication technologies, and software engineering. Developing on-ground IoT application is especially even more active in progress depending on increasing of on-ground IoT devices because it is possible for them to access dangerous and inaccessible situation. However, There are a few studies related IoT. Moreover, since on-ground IoT application, which is different from typical software application, has to consider device's characteristics, communication, and surround condition, it reveal challenges, decreasing reliability. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze reliability challenges related to maturity and fault tolerance, one of reliability attributes, occurring in developing on-ground IoT applications and suggest the effective solutions to resolve the challenges. To verify proposed the challenges and solutions, we show result that is applying the solutions to applications. By presenting the case study, we evaluate the effectiveness of applying the solutions to the application.

  • Despite much interest and investment in the Internet of Things (IoT) which expand the Internet to a ubiquitous network including objects in the physical world, there is growing concerns of privacy protections. Because the risk of privacy invasion is higher in IoT environments than ever before, privacy need to be a key issue in the diffusion of IoT. Considering that the privacy concern is a critical barrier for user to adopt information technologies, it is important to investigate users' privacy concerns related to IoT applications. From the triad perspective (i.e., risk on technology, risk on service provider, and trust on legislation), this study aims to examine users' privacy concerns in the context of activity trackers.

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem potentially includes heterogeneous devices with different processing mechanisms as well as very complicated network and communication models. Thus, analysis of data associated with adverse conditions is much more complicated. Moreover, mobile things in the IoT lead to dynamic alteration of environments and developments of a dynamic and ultra-large-scale (ULS) environment. Also, IoT and the services provided by that are mostly based on devices with limited resources or things that may not be capable of hosting conventional controls. Finally, the dynamic and heterogeneous and ULS environment of the IoT will lead to the emergence of new security requirements. The conventional preventive and diagnostic security controls cannot sufficiently protect it against increasing complication of threats. The counteractions provided by these methods are mostly dependent on insufficient static data that cannot sufficiently protect systems against sophisticated and dynamically evolved attacks. Accordingly, this paper investigates the current security approaches employed in the IoT architectures. Moreover, we define the dynamic security based on dynamic event analysis, dynamic engineering of new security requirements, context awareness and adaptability, clarify the need for employment of new security mechanism, and delineate further works that need to be conducted to achieve a secure IoT.
