In this work, we address the so-called sensor reachback problem for Wireless Sensor Networks, which consists in collecting the measurements acquired by a large number of sensor nodes into a sink node which has major computational and power capabilities. Focused on applications such as Structural Health Monitoring, we propose a cooperative communication protocol that exploits the spatio-temporal correlations of the sensor measurements in order to save energy when transmitting the information to the sink node in a non-stationary environment. In addition to cooperative communications, the protocol is based on two well-studied adaptive filtering techniques, Least Mean Squares and Recursive Least Squares, which trade off computational complexity and reduction in the number of transmissions to the sink node. Finally, experiments with real acceleration measurements, obtained from the Canton Tower in China, are included to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the steady growth of mobile technology and applications, demand for more storage in mobile devices has also increased. A lightweight block-level protocol, Internet Advanced Technology Attachment (iATA), has been developed to deliver a cost-effective storage network solution for mobile devices to obtain more storage. This paper seeks to contribute to designing and implementing Load Balancing (LB), Network Monitoring (NM) and Write Replication (WR) modules to improve the protocol's scalability and data availability. LB and NM modules are invoked to collect system resources states and current network status at each associate node (server machine). A dynamic weight factor is calculated based on the collected information and sent to a referral server. The referral server is responsible to analyze and allocate the most ideal node with the least weight to serve the client. With this approach, the client can avoid connecting to a heavily loaded node that may cause delays in subsequent in-band I/O operations. Write replication is applied to the remaining nodes through a WR module by utilizing the Unison file synchronization program. A client initially connected to node IP A for write operations will have no hindrances in executing the relevant read operations at node IP B in new connections. In the worst case scenario of a node crashing, data remain recoverable from other functioning nodes. We have conducted several benchmark tests and our results are evaluated and verified in a later section.

An automated healthcare monitoring is demand of time, lot of problems occurring just because of less monitoring of patients health condition on time. In this paper an embedded healthcare service is proposed by an iSCSI protocol on an automated multi-agent coordination by resource-constrained devices controlled system for healthcare service. The coordination between the resource constrained devices (e.g. PDA, SmartPhone, Tablet PC), and automated agents are maintained by a two-way handshaking mode iSCSI protocol. The automated health care control could be useable, and beneficial in the repetitive way. A fully centralized control is not applicable for this kind of approach.

For effective conservation of the oceans and harbors, long-term and systematic development of the ocean and harbor monitoring system is essential. A monitoring system capable of real-time and accurate data acquisition is necessary for dealing with the level of contamination by situations, such as red tide and foods. This paper introduces an effective and economical real-time harbor environmental monitoring system that utilizes PCS wireless data communication technology. The monitoring system has various functions, such as multiple communication, TCP/IP protocol for wireless internet access, system time synchronization, and bi-directional communication between the measuring device and the server. The system has been implemented at Shinseondae harbor pier in Busan to validate the system's stability and effectiveness in data acquisition. The acquired real-time ocean and harbor environmental data is expected to have a large effect, when shared with the public through the Internet.

In this paper, we implement a common module that can integrate multiple biometric information for integrated patient monitoring system. Conventional biomedical instruments have many devices attached to each patient, making it difficult to monitor abnormality signs of many patients in real time. In this paper, we propose a module for an integrated monitoring system that can perform centralized monitoring using a common module that integrates multiple measurement devices. A protocol for sending and receiving packets between the measuring device and the common module is designed, and the packets transmitted through the network are stored and managed through the integrated monitoring system and provide information to various users such as medical staff. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the management of patients and efficient medical services in hospitals.

These days, most of electric power facilities need high stability. Therefore integrated system has been required to monitor and control electronic power distribution system in fields at all times when the interruption of electric power has occurred. To construct this system, unit that convert and process the input signal from fields needed. And for control and monitoring from remote place MMI software is required. Lastly network equipments are required for real-time communications. So, in this paper, units for control and monitoring of emergency power generator and for electric power monitoring in normal electric power and interruption of electric power are developed. Also integrated remote system for monitoring in remote is developed.

For the application of monitoring system of the machine tool to industry, the requirements such as high reliability and low cost need to be satisfied. In this study, a reliable but inexpensive monitoring method for machine tool is introduced. To improve the monitoring reliability, several kinds of information related to machining and operation are selected; real-time video clip from USB camera, operation data and signal from CNC and feed motor torque. Especially, to improve the quality of real-time video clip, a camera housing is developed, it can significantly reduce the vibration effect and prevent from coolant and chip. The collected information are transferred to the monitoring terminals in remote sites using OPC and TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet, which give us convenience of development and interoperability.
