In order to enable network robots to effectively collaborate with smart environments, it is crucial that various types of heterogeneous device platforms can communicate each other in flexible and efficient manners. Most of existing software platforms for network robots adopted general-purpose middlewares such as CORBA, which are not suitable to the communication between robots and smart environments due to their heavy size and complexity. Moreover, they do not provide network robot-specific features. Therefore, we propose a new TCP-based Remote Method Invocation framework. We devide the middleware into two layers i. e. transport layers and rmi layers and provide key features to each layer so that network robots can effectively communicate with various devices in smart environments.

현대 로봇 분야의 개발에 있어 지능형 서비스 로봇은 모듈 기반으로 구성될 수 있다. 여기서 모듈이란 로봇의 특정 태스크들 수행하기 위해 만들어진 자동화 하드웨어 단위를 의미한다. 이러한 모듈 기반의 로봇시스템 내부는 네트워크의 이종성에 따라 다양한 네트워크들을 통해 연결될 수 있기 때문에 다중 모듈간 안정적이고 효율적인 통신을 하기 위해서는 상호운영을 위한 기술이 뒷받침 되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 모듈기반의 로봇을 위한 통신용 미들웨어를 제안한다. 제안된 미들웨어는 네트워크 인터페이스 계층과 네트워크 적응 계층으로 나누어진다. 네트워크 인터페이스 계층은 각 이종 인터페이스들을 논리적인 채널로 추상화하는 기능을 갖는다. 반면, 네트워크 적응 계층은 모듈간의 통신을 위한 메시지 형식을 정의하고 주소할당 및 이종 네트워크를 고려한 라우팅 기능들을 갖는다. 결국, 제안된 미들웨어는 두 계층을 통해 상위 로봇 어플리케이션 개발자들에게 네트워크의 투명성을 보장할 수 있으며 모듈 기반의 로봇내에서 모듈간의 안정적이고 효율적인 통신을 지원한다.

In this paper, we propose a multi-band network selection (MNS) system, which determines and seamlessly connects to the desired available communication band based on user preferences and network environments. The MNS system employs MNS server in the middleware layer which communicates with clients in order to combine and manage heterogeneous networks efficiently. In addition, we define a system architecture and function modules of the MNS system. The MNS system monitors availability in each communication band and updates the network status information table which is applied to determining the best available network. It is expected that the MNS system can be applied to the next generation maritime networks and communication infrastructure of e-navigation.

As maritime information and communication technology has been developing and the demands for various kinds of application services has been increasing nowadays, the multi-band maritime networks combining available multiple radio networks has been introduced. We have previously proposed a multi-band network selection(MNS) system which operates in the middleware layer and selects the best available network seamlessly. In this paper we develop MNS server software, network interfaces, and application program. The functionalities of the MNS system, including updating network status, connecting to heterogeneous networks, and communicating in the best network are also verified via indoor test.

This paper introduces oneM2M global IoT standard middleware platform based smart city service data model support and FIWARENGSI interworking for Orion Broker. Also, service data models implementation using flexContainer resource types and FIWARENGSI interworking using the Interworking Framework (TS-0033) from oneM2M Release 3 are also illustrated. In this system, data model element level access (e.g. for subscription/notification feature) is enabled, which is enhancement compared to contentInstance resource type before, and service agnostic FIWARE NGSI interworking is provided over the Interworking Framework for smart city platform data interworking.

Recently most of the study about home-networking middleware take the way of web-control through the internet. Although the way of control using wire and PDA also be taken, but does not use standard techniques like UPnP and is limited in the technique controlling simple device. This paper is about the development of a Voice Gateway controlling many kinds of UPnP controlling devices connected to network. voice gateway is consisted of MPC850 module and phone interface and the set-top box, a part of computer in voice gateway is consisted of PSTN interface, information controlling process and the process of UPnP protocol. And I tried to implement this through entire system board.

Currently, the components of the GIS have been physically run on a stand-alone system. With rapid advances in internet technology, GIS users require that they are able to not only access they heterogeneous and remote GIS database as well as their own information, but also share them. However, these GIS have the defects that can not handle formats different from own data format. Therefore, in this paper, we propose to integrate the components of the heterogeneous and remote GIS using CORBA in order to solve these problems, which is a distributed object technology, the mediator and wrapper technology in client and server layers.

The utilization of robot application is growing up in recent years, but there is a constraint to execute various application on the robot because of difference of robot resource. This paper presents the framework in order to solve the resource constraint by sharing resources with other devices near by robot. The framework defines common factors that are needed to collaboration work and provides APIs in order to implement robot application easily. Furthermore, We show the working flow of framework with physical training application using robot by example. The application shows how to collaborated work between robot and other devices through network.

Needs for a new technologies of infrastructure systems arose, following the development of next generation EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) train with maximum speed over 400km/h. For high-speed operation tests of the new EMU, a high-speed railway infrastructure test-bed was constructed in a 28km long section of the Honam High-speed Railway. Diverse sensors and monitoring system was installed for continuous monitoring of the railway. Due to such effort, further demands and needs of the integrated monitoring system was derived in a more comprehensive and long-term perspective.

The home network system guarantees families a safe, economical, socially integrated and healthy life by using information appliances. And it provides a family with domestic safety, control of instruments, controllable energy and health monitoring by connecting to home appliances. This study designs the broadband PLC home controller using broadband PLC(Power Line Communication) technology which can save much cost at a network infrastructure by using the existing power line at home. The broadband PLC home controller consists of the broadband PLC module, the embedded main controller module and I/O module. The broadband PLC home controller can control various domestic appliances such as an auto door-lock, a boiler, an oven, etc., because it has various I/O specifications. In this study, selected home network middleware for the broadband PLC home controller is Jini surrogate using Jini technology designed by means of access to easily a home network system without a limitation of the devices. And a client application program is supported java servlet program to manage and monitor the broadband PLC home controller via web browser of a PC or a PDA, etc. Finally, for an application, we implemented and tested a home security system using one broadband PLC home controller.
