Recently, context-awareness computing becomes prerequisite to pervasive computing, called ubiquitous paradigm. Especially, it plays much of roll as a part of the ubiquitous infrastructures, one of three ubiquitous city components. This paper proposes the optimized procedures to deal with the various hypothetical water-leaking situations in the water supply systems. These procedures suggested in this paper will be employed to develop the context-awareness modules or models for urban infrastructure maintenance in the future works.

This paper presents a method for building a real-time kernel of autonomous mobile robot control systems. Until now, most of robots have their own operation softwares dedicated only for their use. Sometimes, operation softwares were developed based on MS-DOS or other real -time kernel based on UNIX. However, MS-DOS has many restrictions for use as a robot operation system. Also, mix based real-time kernel has some Limitations for use with mobile robots. So, in this paper, we focus on building a real-time kernel based on Linux. The in this paper, the software modules of Task Management, Memory Management, Intertask Communication, and Synchronization are redesigned. To show the efficiency of the paper, it was applied to run Nomad Super Scout II avoiding obstacles detected by sonar sensor array.

Piezoelectric under water acoustic transducer is a kind of device for under water detection working as not only an actuator but also a sensor. The technique that can predict acoustical characteristics of transducer is important for robust design of transducer in harsh underwater environment. This paper represents the development of software for analyzing dynamic characteristics of piezoelectric acoustic transducers based on finite element method. Modal and transient analysis modulo for acoustic transducers are developed TWO dimensional model for Tonpilz transducer is used for the test of the developed nodal and transient analysis modules. and comparison is made with a commercial code, ANSYS.

This paper introduces a design scheme of intelligent gas valve management and service system based on Internet. This scheme adds sensor and general packet radio service (GPRS) modules to the traditional gas valve and establishes communication connection between gas valve and the server through wireless packet communication technology, which makes the traditional gas valve have the networking ability. Compared with the traditional gas valve management and service business, the method proposed in this paper is more convenient and efficient.

일반적으로 수십 개에서 많게는 수백 수천 개의 센서노드로 구성된 센서네트워크 환경에서 각 노드들은 제한된 저장 공간과 효율적인 에너지자원소비 등의 제약사항을 가지고 있다. 따라서 센서노드에서 응용모듈에 대한 형상관리를 수행하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문은 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI)에서 개발된 나노큐플러스 운영체제(Nano-Qplus OS)기반의 센서네트워크 환경에서 각 노드들의 저장 공간이나 에너지 자원 등의 여러 제약조건을 고려한 버전동기화 도구를 제안한다. 이것은 윈도우즈 기반의 eclipse개발환경과 버전관리도구인 CVSNT와 연동하여 각 응용모듈의 버전을 관리하고, 이를 이용하여 본 논문에서 소개하는 센서노드와 버전정보 저장소간의 버전동기화 도구인 NVSync(Nano-Qplus Version Synchronization)를 사용하여 센서노드의 응용모듈과 동기화함으로써 동적으로 노드들의 응용모듈을 재구성할 수 있게 한다.

Recently PDA(Personal Digital Assistance) can be purchased at a lower cost than ever before. Therefore, it can be effectively used in various ways such as a personal information management system and wireless mobile internet application. Manufacturers of PDA try to develope various application modules for its extensive utilizations. In this work, a CF typed GPS and data logger module for PDA is designed. It can give us valuable informations about the precise position of measuring site and corresponding sensor values. The proposed CF module can make it possible for PDA to be used as a hand-held measurement device.

This paper presents a new image cache algorithm for real-time implementation of high-resolution color image warping. The cache memory is divided into four cache memory modules for simultaneous readout of four input image pixels in consideration of the color filter array (CFA) pattern of an image sensor and CFA image warping. In addition, a pipeline structure from the cache memory to an interpolator is shown to guarantee the generation of an output image pixel at each system clock cycle. The proposed image cache algorithm is applied to an FPGA-based real-time color image warping, and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed method.

An autonomous stair robot recognizing the stair, and climbing up and down the stair by utilizing a robot vision, photo sensors, and appropriate climbing algorithm is introduced. Four arms associated with four wheels make the robot climb up and down more safely and faster than a simple track typed robot. The robot can adjust wheel base according to the stair width, hence it can adopt to a variable width stair with different algorithms in climbing up and down. The command and image data acquired from the robot are transferred to the main computer through RF wireless modules, and the data are delivered to a remote computer via a network communication through a proper data compression, thus, the real time image monitoring is implemented effectively.

This paper reports a novel object-detection technique in video sequences. The proposed algorithm consists of detection of objects in illuminated and occluded videos by using object features and a neural network technique. It consists of two functional modules: region-based object feature extraction and continuous detection of objects in video sequences with region features. This scheme is proposed as an enhancement of the Lowe's scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) object detection method. This technique solved the high computation time problem of feature generation in the SIFT method. The improvement is achieved by region-based feature classification in the objects to be detected; optimal neural network-based feature reduction is presented in order to reduce the object region feature dataset with winner pixel estimation between the video frames of the video sequence. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better overall performance than other object detection techniques, and region-based feature detection is faster in comparison to other recent techniques.
