Recently, smart devices has been spreaded and the definition of RFID/USN(Radio Frequency Identification/Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology has also extended. So, originally, human is an agent of communications but now, 'the things' are also an agent of communication. That is, Internet of Things(IoT). IoT is very big IT infra technology that is based on wire-wireless network technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. However, in reality, IoT service that can provide various meaning and integrate smoothly is not appear yet. To solve these problems of IoT, we implemented Publish/Subscribe system, which operate in Zigbee based wireless sensor network by using MQTT-SN protocol. Moreover, this system can operate with combining MQTT system that is already existed in external Internet network so, extensibility and flexibility aspect is excellent. We show that possibility of IoT services that is combined between different heterogeneous network through the MQTT-SN.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are highly dynamic and unstable due to the heterogeneous nature of the communications, intermittent links, high mobility and constant changes in network topology. Currently, some of the most important challenges of VANETs are the scalability problem, congestion, unnecessary duplication of data, low delivery rate, communication delay and temporary fragmentation. Many recent studies have focused on a hybrid mechanism to disseminate information implementing the store and forward technique in sparse vehicular networks, as well as clustering techniques to avoid the scalability problem in dense vehicular networks. However, the selection of intermediate nodes in the store and forward technique, the stability of the clusters and the unnecessary duplication of data remain as central challenges. Therefore, we propose an adaptable destination-based dissemination algorithm (DBDA) using the publish/subscribe model. DBDA considers the destination of the vehicles as an important parameter to form the clusters and select the intermediate nodes, contrary to other proposed solutions. Additionally, DBDA implements a publish/subscribe model. This model provides a context-aware service to select the intermediate nodes according to the importance of the message, destination, current location and speed of the vehicles; as a result, it avoids delay, congestion, unnecessary duplications and low delivery rate.

In recent years, the user interest has increased for DDS (Data Distribution Service) which is a data centric middleware based on publish-subscribe communication as the demands for real-time data exchange in distributed systems have been growing rapidly. To reflect these needs, many vendors and research groups provide their DDS middleware. However, there has been a problem with interoperability between DDS middlewares because of a lack of common communication rules such as the message exchange and the discovery manner. For this reason, OMG defines RTPS (Real-Time Publish-Subscribe) specification which is the standard network protocol used to exchange data between different implementations of DDS. In this paper, we analyze and design the SDP (Simple Discovery Protocol) of RTPS which enable DDS middleware to provide interoperable discovery mechanism.

The rapidly-evolving demand of applications using wireless sensor networks in several areas such as building and industrial automation or smart cities, among other, makes it necessary to determine and provide QoS support mechanisms which can satisfy the requirements of applications. In this paper we propose a mechanism that establishes different QoS levels, based on Publish/Subscribe model for wireless networks to meet application requirements, to provide reliable delivery of packet and timeliness. The first level delivers packets in a best effort way. The second one intends to provide reliable packet delivery with a novel approach for Retransmission Timeout (RTO) calculation, which adjusts the RTO depending on the subscriber Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). The third one provides the same reliable packet delivery as the second one, but in addition, it provides data aggregation trying to be efficient in terms of energy consumption and the use of network bandwidth. The last one provides timeliness in the packet delivery. We evaluate each QoS Level with several performance metrics such as PDR, Message Delivery Ratio, Duplicated and Retransmitted Packet Ratio and Packet Timeliness Ratio to demonstrate that our proposal provides significant improvements based on the increase of the PDR obtained.

Emerging social networking services provide a new paradigm for human-to-human communication. However, these services are centralized and managed by single service provider. In this paper, we propose MicroPost, a decentralized event notification service architecture for social applications based on publish/subscribe model. In our design space, event brokers are structured as an overlay network which provides the substrate of distributed peer-to-peer lookup service for storing and retrieving subscriptions with hashed keys. Event clients interact with event brokers to publish or subscribe social messages over the wide-area network. Using XML standards, we present an efficient algorithm to forward events for rendezvous-based matching in this paper. In our design space, the cost of routing is O(${\omega}log_kN$), where N is the number of event brokers, ${\omega}$ is the number of meta-data obtained from event messages, and k is a constant, which is selected by our design, to divide the identifier space and to conquer the lookup of given key. Consequently, what we achieved is an asynchronous social messaging service architecture which is decentralized, efficient, scalable, and flexible.

Traditional Pub/Sub(Publish/Subscribe) Systems search all subscriptions that match an incoming event by broker(i.e. it is not considering the accuracy of matching between an incoming event and subscriptions and only consider that an event either matches a subscription or not). However, subscriptions that match an event may have priority, therefore, we need priority Pub/Sub system. In this paper, we define what the accuracy means in order to prioritize among subscriptions and propose the Priority Retrieval Technique based on accuracy that able to search subscriptions. The Priority Retrieval Technique is based on IS-Lists. We can search the results ordered by accuracy.

애드혹 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 상호작용 미들웨어는 컨텍스트의 변화에 따라 애플리케이션간의 상호작용을 재구성할 수 있도록 지원해야 한다. 또한 미들웨어는 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 지원하는데 있어 컨텍스트 종류나 애플리케이션들 혹은 환경의 다양성에 따라 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성을 동적으로 변화시킬 수 있도록 기능을 제공해야 한다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성을 변화시키는 이러한 요소들에 대해 고려하지 않으며 그로 인해 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응 정도를 정적으로 설정함으로써 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 지원하는데 있어 경우에 따라 오버헤드가 발생하거나 컨텍스트 변화에 빠르게 대응하지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구는 애드혹 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 동작하는 Publish/Subscribe 기반의 상호작용 미들웨어에서 이벤트 중계의 정확성과 컨텍스트 변화 적응성간의 관계를 기반으로 다양한 컨텍스트 종류나 사용자, 환경에 따라 이벤트 중계의 정확도를 동적으로 조절하는 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 이벤트 중계 정보를 동적으로 재구성하여 컨텍스트에 맞춰 효율적으로 컨텍스트 인지 상호작용을 구성할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 비교 분석 결과 기존 연구에 비해 컨텍스트 변화에 대한 적응성에서 더 나은 결과를 보여주었다.

We propose an grid-based research system that replays the experiment by storing and reusing the previous experiment result data in performing remote experiment from a distance. The proposed system was designed for the real-time hybrid test facility which is being built in Korea Construction Engineering Development(KOCED) Project. To provide users with various data, the experiment result data are maintained by the distributed streaming servers based on the publish/subscribe paradigm. Based on the data characteristics of our project, we compared analyzed the performance of the one-streaming-server case and the distributed-multiple-streaming-server case.

Internet of Things(IoT) has become a key available technology for efficiently implementing device to device(D2D) services in various domains such as smart home, healthcare, smart city, agriculture, energy, logistics, and transportation. A lightweight publish/subscribe(Pub/Sub) messaging protocol not only establishes data dissemination pattern but also supports connectivity between IoT devices and their applications. Also, a Pub/Sub broker is deployed to facilitate data exchange among IoT devices. A scalable edge-based publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) broker overlay networks support latency-sensitive IoT applications. In this paper, we design a hypercube grid quorum(HGQ) for distributed Pub/Sub systems based IoT applications. In designing HGQ, the network of hypercube structures suitable for the publish/subscribe model is built in the edge layer, and the proposed HGQ is designed by embedding a mesh overlay network in the hypercube. As their applications, we propose an HGQ-based mechansim for dissemination of the data of sensors or the message/event of IoT devices in IoT environments. The performance of HGQ is evaluated by analytical models. As the results, the latency and load balancing of applications based on the distributed Pub/Sub system using HGQ are improved.

In traditional Publish/Subscribe system, the first procedure to deliver event from publisher to subscriber is that publisher publishes publisher's event to broker. Next step is that broker checks simple binary notion of matching : an event either matches a subscription or it does not. Lastly, broker delivers the event matched with subscriptions to the corresponding subscribers. In this system, information delivery has been accomplished in one way only. However, current some applications require two way delivery between subscriber and publisher. Therefore, we initiate an extended Publish/Subscribe system that supports two way delivery. Extended Publish/Subscribe system requires additional functions of delivering subscription to publisher and especially deciding top-n subscriptions using priority because broker might has a number of subscriptions. In this paper, we propose two priority retrieval techniques based on SIF using IS-List with deciding priority among subscriptions and defining SIF(Specific Interval First). The performance measurements show that RSO(resulting set sorting) technique results in better performance in index creation time and ITS&IS(insertion time sorting and inverse search using stack) technique results in better performance in search time.
