To understand the multilateral characteristics of human behavior and physiological markers related to physical, emotional, and environmental states, extensive lifelog data collection in a real-world environment is essential. Here, we propose a data collection method using multimodal mobile sensing and present a long-term dataset from 22 subjects and 616 days of experimental sessions. The dataset contains over 10 000 hours of data, including physiological, data such as photoplethysmography, electrodermal activity, and skin temperature in addition to the multivariate behavioral data. Furthermore, it consists of 10 372 user labels with emotional states and 590 days of sleep quality data. To demonstrate feasibility, human activity recognition was applied on the sensor data using a convolutional neural network-based deep learning model with 92.78% recognition accuracy. From the activity recognition result, we extracted the daily behavior pattern and discovered five representative models by applying spectral clustering. This demonstrates that the dataset contributed toward understanding human behavior using multimodal data accumulated throughout daily lives under natural conditions.

The existing electronic tagging system traces the location of a sex offender through communicating with GPS satellites and mobile phone base stations in order to prevent repeated crimes. However, the GPS satellite communication method does not work well in the interiors of downtown buildings or on the subways where it is difficult to receive satellite signals. In such cases, the location can be traced through communication with mobile phone base stations. But the distance between mobile phone base stations is several hundred meters, and as a result the margin of error for location tracing can be maximum of 2km in accuracy reduction. Take for example, if a kindergarten is located on the 2nd floor and a coffee shop and the sex offender are located on the 3rd floor in a 5-story building that is downtown, the existing electronic tagging system cannot trace the location of the sex offender as the GPS satellite communication does not work in the interior of the building and the exact floor that the sex offender is located on cannot be recognized through communication with mobile phone base stations. This occurrence is a big problem for the existing electronic tagging system, which is based on position recognition. Therefore, this study suggests a smart electronic tagging system that can monitor sex offenders by using a Ubiquitous Sensor Network in such extreme situations where position recognition is not possible.

In the monitoring of a patient in a sickroom, not only the physiologic and environmental data of the patient, which is automatically measured, but also the clinical data(clinical chart)of the patient, which is drew up by a doctor or nurse, are recognized as important data. However, since in the current environment of a sickroom, clinical data is collected being divided from the data that is automatically measured, the two data are used without an effective integration. This is because the integration of the two data is difficult due to their different collection times, which leads the reconstruction of clinical data to be remarkably uncertain. In order to solve these problems, a method to synchronize the continuous environmental data of a sickroom and clinical data is appearing as an important measure. In addition, the increase of use of small machines and the development of solutions based on wireless communications provide a communication platform to the developers of health care. Thus, this paper realizes a remote system for taking care of patients based on a web that uses mobile phones. That is, clinical data made by a nurse or doctor and the environmental data of a sick room comes to be collected by a collection module through a wireless sensor network. An observer can see clinical data and the environmental data of a sickroom through his/her mobile phone, integrating and storing his/her data into the database. Families of a patient can see clinical data made by hospital and the environment of the sick room of the patent through their computers or mobile phones outside the hospital. Through the system,hospital can provide better medical services to patients and their families.

Recently, with the rapid development of factory automation and logistics system, a few workers were able to manage the broad workplace such as large vessels and warehouse. To estimate the exact location of these workers in the conventional wireless indoor localization systems, three or more fixed nodes are generally used to recognize the location of a mobile node consisting of a single node. However, these methods are inefficient in terms of node deployment because the broad workplace requires a lot of fixed nodes compared to workers(mobile nodes). Therefore, to efficiently deploy fixed nodes in these environments that need a few workers, this paper presents a novel estimation algorithm which can reduce the number of fixed nodes by efficiently recognizing the relative coordinates of two fixed nodes through a mobile node composed of three nodes. Also, to minimize the distance errors between mobile node and fixed node, rounding estimation(RE) technique is proposed. Experimental results show that the error rate of localization is improved, by using proposed RE technique, 90.9% compared to conventional trilateration in the free space. In addition, despite the number of fixed nodes can be reduced by up to 50% in the indoor free space, the proposed estimation algorithm recognizes precise location which has average error of 0.15m.

When constructing various mobile networks including sensor networks, the problem of finding the layout or graph to interconnect the terminals or nodes of the network may come up. Providing a common scheme that can be applied to the kind of problems, and formulating the bounds of the run time and the result of the algorithm from the scheme, one may evaluate precisely the plan of constructing analogous network systems. This paper, dealing with EMST(Euclidean Minimum Spanning Tree) that represents such problems, provides the scheme for constructing EMST by parallel processing over distributed environments, and the ground for determining the maximum difference of the layout or the graph produced from the scheme: the difference from EMST. In addition, it provides the upper bound of the run time of the algorithm from the scheme.

Recenty, there has been great interest in MANET from various areas. In this paper we focus on performance analysis of on demand routing protocols surf as DSR, AODV, and TORA in MANET. We have conducted several simulations concerned with application service data such as sensor, text. voice, and video data. And then, we have evaluated the performance of three protocols in a pre-designed ad hoc network, which is consisted of 20 nodes. As a result, we have obtained quantitative data for packet delivery fraction, average end to-end delay, routing load, channel utilization from upper layer and supportable routing protocol for application service data. The results can be used for designing specific-purposed ad-hoc networks.
