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.

This paper suggests the online method to identify normal and abnormal state of water quality on the ocean USN. To define normal of the ocean water quality, we utilize the negative selection algorithm of artificial immunity system which has self and nonself identification characteristics. To distinguish abnormal status, normal state set of the ocean water quality needs to be defined. For this purpose, we generate normal state set base on mutations of each data and mutation of the data as logical product. This mutated normal (or self) sets used to identify abnormal status of the water quality. We represent the experimental result about mutated self set with the Gaussian function. Through setting the method on the ocean sensor logger, we can monitor whether the ocean water quality is normal or abnormal state by online.

Due to the development and proliferation of ubiquitous technologies and services, various sensor network applications are being appeared on the stage. The needs for algorithms requiring sensor data fusion and complex signal processing with a high-performance processor such as a digital signal processor are also increased. However, it is difficult to use such processor for the low-power sensor network operating with a battery because of power consumption. This paper proposes a hybrid-type sensor module architecture supporting wakeup/sleep software framework for the wireless sensor node and shows the implemented sensor node platform and performances focused on the energy consumption and wakeup time.

In this paper, we present interference power distribution results when radio frequency identification(RFID) and ubiquitous sensor network(USN) systems share the $908.5{\sim}914MHz$ frequency bands. Average interference powers are obtained by simulation and statistical analysis, respectively. Simulation results are then verified by statistical analysis. According to the number of interferers and the diameter of the protection area, the cumulative density functions(CDFs) of interference power are simulated under the various conditions. From the simulation results, the probability that both USN and RFID systems meet the required maximal interference power levels is 95 % on condition that there are 1 low revered RFID reader and several USN nodes and that the minimum distance between a RFID reader and an USN node is greater than 1 m. Our results can be used as an basic research for coexistence analysis of RFID and USN systems in the $908.5{\sim}914MHz$ frequency bands.

In order to monitor the anticancer drug in stable conditions, the Web based anticancer drug management system and alarm services were constructed and assessed in this study. Anticancer drug should be exact to the correct patient in the right environment. To overcome the restriction of existing equipment that only monitors fragmentarily, temperature and humidity were continuously monitored to maintain stable environments using sensor networks and RFID for the monitoring and management of anticancer drug. Construction drug identification and the effect of normal air outside the anticancer dispensary with obstacles were evaluated in working hour. Pre-installed control system in the dispensary could be alternated with auto sensing and alarming. We expected that the efficiency of anticancer drug management and the reliability of drug medication by handwork would be increase accordingly.

This paper presents a Kalman filter based modeling algorithm for autonomous robots. State of the robot systems is measured by using embedded sensors and then carried to a host computer via ubiquitous sensor network (USN). We settle a linear state space motion equation for unknown system dynamics and modify a popular Kalman filter algorithm in deriving suitable parameter estimation mechanism. We conduct real-time experiment to test our proposed modeling algorithm where velocity state of the constructed robot is used as system observation.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) 환경은 언제, 어디서나 정보를 이용할 수 있게 한다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 환경은 자유로운 커뮤니케이션을 보다 쉽게 제공할 수 있으며, 특히 u-교통 환경을 구축하는데 기본적인 요소기술이 된다. 또한 u-교통 환경을 구축하기 위해서는 차량의 위치를 보다 정확히 인식할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 위치측정은 센서노드의 전파를 이용하거나 거리를 측정할 수 있는 센서를 활용하여 목표물의 위치를 계산한다. 본 논문은 센서노드의 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) 신호 값을 분류하고 주변노드의 위치와 통신범위 및 세기정보를 최대한 활용하여 이동차량을 보다 정확하게 추적할 수 있는 위치추적기법을 제시한다. 일부 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 기법이 기존 위치추적 알고리즘 보다 u-교통 환경에서 위치추적의 정확도가 우수함을 증명하였다.

There are several methods for building optimal eco-villages in a narrow territory. To derive a new optimal eco-village factors by combining environmental factors from ubiquitous sensor network and topography factors, this study attempted to investigate ecological spaces of specific human settlements, to compare those with the spatial analytical results on natural real settlements, and to draw a construction plan for an optimal ecological village. This study presented a new milestone for building eco-villages in the large or small village units of the entire country in the fact that we can find a living space to make natural healing possible by integrating ecological factors and wellbeing spatial configuration using more healthy natural space. Also, this study proposed a practical method to do so.
