Common Embedded boards like the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, leverages smart home systems, machine tools and various products in our day to day life. Managing and dealing frequent large scale incidents involving recent reagents and hazardous materials can be dangerous and difficult to detect in advance like in an event of an accidents or fires. In this paper I have done research by utilizing an Embedded (BeagleBone Black) boards sensors and RFID management system to detect a hazardous situation like fire in real time and avoiding it by sending out an alert message to the admin user to minimizing the risk. This system provides immediate information to the administrator of any hazardous situation and prevents any accidents from occurring.

The most critical technology to implement ubiquitous health care is Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) technology which makes use of various sensor technologies, processor integration technology, and wireless network technology-Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-to easily gather and monitor actual physical environment information from a remote site. With the feature, the USN technology can make the information technology of the existing virtual space expanded to actual environments. However, although the RFID and the WSN have technical similarities and mutual effects, they have been recognized to be studied separately, and sufficient studies have not been conducted on the technical integration of the RFID and the WSN. Therefore, EPCglobal which realized the issue proposed the EPC Sensor Network to efficiently integrate and interoperate the RFID and WSN technologies based on the international standard EPCglobal network. The proposed EPC Sensor Network technology uses the Complex Event Processing method in the middleware to integrate data occurring through the RFID and the WSN in a single environment and to interoperate the events based on the EPCglobal network. However, as the EPC Sensor Network technology continuously performs its operation even in the case that the minimum conditions are not to be met to find complex events in the middleware, its operation cost rises. Moreover, since the technology is based on the EPCglobal network, it can neither perform its operation only for the sake of sensor data, nor connect or interoperate with each information system in which the most important information in the ubiquitous computing environment is saved. Therefore, to address the problems of the existing system, we proposed the design and implementation of USN integration management system. For this, we first proposed an integration system that manages RFID and WSN data based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Secondly, we defined the minimum conditions of the complex events to detect unnecessary complex events in the middleware, and proposed an algorithm that can extract complex events only when the minimum conditions are to be met. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methods we implemented SIP-based integration management system.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technology has been widely used to identify and keep track of physical objects. The EPC Network Architecture, which is proposed by EPCglobal to promote EPC and RFID technologies, consists of several layers to deal with the captured data. Many studies concentrated on dealing with RFID tag data (ECReports) from ALE. However, there is no well-known work on specifying how to generate high level EPCIS events. For the incoming ECReports, Capturing Application cannot decide to generate which event types and how to get the semantic fields. In this paper, we propose the new Capturing Application (NCA) to solve the problem. NCA can generate EPCIS events correctly and automatically.

The application of radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor-tags in cold chain systems has recently received a great deal of attention. To design cold chain systems with RFID sensor-tags that minimize the initial investment and operational cost while fulfilling the functional and operational requirements, simulation study is one of the preferable and effective approaches. To simulate the possible design configurations, the individual components in a cold chain system can be extracted and implemented as a DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) model. Based on the proposed DEVS model, a new cold chain simulation model can be efficiently created by simply connecting each DEVS model around the RFID sensor-tag of interest in sequence according to the structure of the cold chain system, and then executed (or simulated) on Java programming environments by the DEVSJAVA simulator. As a result of simulation, some key performance indexes such as reliability, accuracy or timeliness can be calculated and used to choose better components or to compare different system configurations of cold chain systems.

RFID 기술은 모든 사물에 태그를 부착하여 전파를 이용하여 사물에 대한 정보를 자동으로 인식하고 이를 실시간으로 네트워크에 연결하여 정보를 관리하는 기술이다. RFE에 기반한 어플리케이션은 사용자의 요구에 의한 응용프로그램과 달리 태그의 인식이 프로그램 실행을 발생하게 하므로 실시간이벤트 처리, 실시간 이벤트 모니터링을 처리가 가장 중요하다. 하지만 리더로부터 인식된 태그 데이터가 아무런 정제 작업 없이 직접 응용어플리케이션에 전달되게 된다면 불필요한 연산을 수행하게 되어 성능이 저하되는 요인이 된다. RFID 미들웨어의 주된 역활은 리더기와 응용시스템 사이에 데이터들을 전송하는데 있다. 따라서 태그 데이터 처리 기능을 통해 응용 시스템에 신뢰성 있는 정보제공은 미들웨어에서 중요한 기능을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 응용시스템에 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송에 필수 기능인 불필요한 이벤트를 제거하는 필터링 기능을 위한 프레임워크 설계, 구현하였다

The conventional sensor tag data filtering algorithm uses time window based data filtering for each tag data. However, this approach shows many performance problems such as low error and event detection rate and larger storage size requirement. In this paper, we propose a collaborative sensor tag data filtering algorithm to improve sensor data processing performance. simulation study shows that the proposed sensor tag filtering algorithm outperforms the conventional filtering algorithm in terms of the processing time, the size of required data storage memory and accuracy of error and event detection rate.

In recent years, there is a remarkable progress in ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies), and then many attempts to apply ICTs to other industries are being made. In the field of disaster managements, ICTs such as RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) are used to provide safe environments. Actually, various types of early warning systems using USN are now widely used to monitor natural disasters such as floods, landslides and earthquakes, and also to detect human-caused disasters such as fires, explosions and collapses. These early warning systems issue alarms rapidly when a disaster is detected or an event exceeds prescribed thresholds, and furthermore deliver alarm messages to disaster managers and citizens. In general, these systems consist of a number of various sensors and measure real-time stream data, which requires an efficient and rapid data processing technique. In this study, an event-driven architecture (EDA) is presented to collect event effectively and to provide an alert rapidly. A publish/subscribe event processing method to process simple event is introduced. Additionally, a complex event processing (CEP) technique is introduced to process complex data from various sensors and to provide prompt and reasonable decision supports when many disasters happen simultaneously. A basic concept of CEP technique is presented and the advantages of the technique in disaster management are also discussed. Then, how the main processing methods of CEP such as aggregation, correlation, and filtering can be applied to disaster management is considered. Finally, an example of flood forecasting and early alarm system in which CEP is incorporated is presented It is found that the CEP based on the EDA will provide an efficient early warning method when disaster happens.

EPC Information Services (EPCIS) is an EPCglobal standard designed to enable EPC-related data sharing within and across supply chain. The EPCIS standard defines standard interfaces to enable EPC-related data to be captured and subsequently to be queried using a set of service operations and an associated data model. There are two kinds of EPCIS data: event data and master data. Event data is created in the process of carrying out business processes. Traceability of goods across supply chain is based on event data. Therefore, each company must have an event data. This study compared he difference between MS-SQL(DRDBMS) and ALTIBASE(MMDBMS) for data storage. We compared the difference between two database management in many respects such as insert time and select time. We come to a conclusion that ALTIBASE is more efficient than MS-SQL.
