In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for ocean observation buoys. The proposed system consists of various sensor modules, a gateway, and a remote monitoring site. In order to integrate sensor modules with various communications interfaces, we propose a controller area network (CAN)-based sensor data packet and a protocol for the gateway. The proposed scheme supports the registration and management of sensor modules so as to make it easier for the buoy system to manage various sensor modules. Also, in order to extend communication coverage between ocean observation buoys and the monitoring site, we implement a multi-hop relay network based on a mesh network that can provide greater communication coverage than conventional buoy systems. In addition, we verify the operation of the implemented multi-hop relay network by measuring the received signal strength indication between buoy nodes and by observing the collected data from the deployed buoy systems via our monitoring site.

Recently, IoT technologies attract much attenction in medical area. Previous medical IoT had focused mainly on chronological diseases or fitness for particular users. Contrarily, medical use of the IoT technologies is now extended for medical institutes and hospitals to care intensively in-house patients, which requires typically more strict and reliable data delivery and security, authentication and authorization. This study defines scenario of the medical IoT for the intensive care and proposes an architecture of the medical IoT services. We implement a testbed using commerical sensors and Arduino board together with a Web-based platform. Experiment results on the testbed show that our approach can be feasible for the medical system in terms of latency and accuracy in medical data delivery.

Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be the next wave of Information Technology transformation after the Internet has changed the process of doing business. Since the domain of IoT ranging from the sensor technology to service to the users is wide, the structure of the research domain is not delineated clearly. To do that we suggest to use the Technology Stack Model proposed by Porter et al.(2014) to measure the maturity level of IoT in organizations. Based on the Stack Model, for the general understandings of IoT, we do keyword analyses on the academic papers whose major research issue is IoT. It is found that the current status of IoT application from the perspectives of cloud and big data analytics is not active, meaning that the real value of IoT has not been realized. We also examine the cases which deal with the part of cloud process which is crucial for value accrual. Based on these findings, we suggest the future direction of IoT research. We also propose that IT is to value chain what IoT is to the Stack Model to derive value in organizations.

In this paper, we propose the real time indoor air quality monitoring and controlling platform on cloud using IoT sensor data such as PM10, PM2.5, CO2, VOCs, temperature, and humidity which has direct or indirect impact to indoor air quality. The system is connected to air ventilator to manage and optimize the indoor air quality. The proposed system has three main parts; First, IoT data collection service to measure, and collect indoor air quality in real time from IoT sensor network, Second, Big data processing pipeline to process and store the collected data on cloud platform and Finally, Big data analysis and visualization service to give real time insight of indoor air quality on mobile and web application. For the implication of the proposed system, IoT sensor kits are installed on three different public day care center where the indoor pollution can cause serious impact to the health and education of growing kids. Analyzed results are visualized on mobile and web application. The impact of ventilation system to indoor air quality is tested statistically and the result shows the proper optimization of indoor air quality.

The advancement of ICT is changing every field of life. It becomes possible with the penetration of personalized devices, that is, smartphone. The boom of IoT will come when there exist diversified and personalized services. In general, we might admit that it is needed that the more privatized services than the overall serviced. Jeju Island is the only one special self-governing province in Republic of Korea and deserves to be proud of the unique culture from its long historical background. One of the very regional culture which performs by women divers, Haenyeo activity or culture, was registered as Intangible Cultural Heritage. When authors were researched Jeju Haenyeo as a worthy reserving service, we recognized that it has never considered to use any point of ICT/IoT yet. Because IoT holds the high potentiality to create any service scenario between interesting groups. We will design a few services for Haenyeo which covers their job territory or daily life, adopts up-to-date technology or method such as sensored network, smart contract and App/Web. In this paper, we intent to show the simplicity and easiness of the application of IoT not to much inconspicuous target. So, we suggest a specialized IoT service for the reservation and promotion of Haenyeo Culture. This service would be composed of sensors, IoT network and App/Web at home and office. This service can be used among interesting groups : Haenyeo, policy maker, manufacturer, service provider and culture consumer.

The importance of big data analytics has become apparent with the increasing volume of data on the Internet. The amount of data will increase even more with the widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT). One of the most important application areas of the IoT is healthcare. This study introduces new real-time data analytics architecture for an IoT-based smart healthcare system, which consists of a wireless sensor network and a radio-frequency identification technology in a vertical domain. The proposed platform also includes high-performance data analytics tools, such as Kafka, Spark, MongoDB, and NodeJS, in a horizontal domain. To investigate the performance of the system developed, a diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome by logistic regression is discussed. The results show that the proposed IoT data analytics system can successfully process health data in real-time with an accuracy rate of 95% and it can handle large volumes of data. The developed system also communicates with a riverbed modeler using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to model any IoT-enabling technology. Therefore, the proposed architecture can be used as a time-saving experimental environment for any IoT-based system.

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.
