최근 유비쿼터스 환경에서 센서 네트워크를 이용한 여러 가지 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 향후 USN 인프라 구축이 완료됨에 따라 USN을 활용하기 위한 USN 어플리케이션 개발을 보다 손쉽게 하기 위해 USN 미들웨어(USN Middleware)의 필요성이 대두되며, 디렉토리 서비스(Directory Service)는 USN 미들웨어를 구성하는 핵심 서비스 중의 하나이다. USN 인프라가 인터넷과 결합된 USN 환경에서의 디렉토리 서비스는 USN 계층의 자원에 대한 개별적인 속성을 돌려 줄 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 풍부한 컴퓨팅 자원, 높은 대역폭(bandwidth) 및 짧은 지연시간, 멀티캐스트 기능 등을 가지고 있는 인터넷과 달리 USN을 구성요소인 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)은 제한된 컴퓨팅 자원, 에너지 문제, 낮은 대역폭, 무선 통신의 불안정성 등의 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 디렉토리 서비스 기술은 WSN에 직접 적용하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 디렉토리 서비스에서 나타날 수 있는 문제와 WSN의 특성을 고려하여 USN 인프라에 적합한 USN 디렉토리 서비스 (Ubiquitous sensor network Directory Service: UDS)를 설계 및 구현한다.

최근 IT 패러다임은 인터넷 중심에서 인간과 사물, 컴퓨터가 융합되는 기술로 급속히 전환되고 있다. 이를 위해 인간과 사물, 사물과 사물 사이 네트워크화를 위해서 RFID/USN 분야가 핵심 IT 산업군으로 형성되고 있다. USN을 활용한 다양한 서비스 가운데 u-Healthcare는 큰 사회적 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 u-Healthcare system의 원활한 활용을 위해서는 u-Healthcare system을 지원하는 미들웨어(Middleware)에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미들웨어의 기능 중 센서(Sensor)를 통해 획득한 데이터의 정확성을 높이는 방법에 초점을 두었다. 이를 위하여 멀티 스레드(Multi Thread)방법을 u-Healthcare 미들웨어에 적용하여 다양한 어플리케이션에서 요구하는 개별 데이터의 정확성을 향상 시키는 방안을 연구하였다.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) is a core infrastructure that makes come true the u-life in the ubiquitous society through various services of area such as u-city and u-Health. Therefore, we need to reseach about the domestic standards to establish the core technique of USN. Currently, the status of USN standards is most of technical standard and reseach that are technology for sensor node implementation and a protocol for energy-efficient communication and interlock with existing network. But, Standard and reseach for sensor network, integration management of heterogeneous sensor networks for USN application, sensing data management and USN database structure definition such as application and middleware are weak level. In this paper, we researched for standard development of the domestic sensor network service and relevant standard analysis to configure SWE(Sensor Web Enablement) of OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) for standarded plattform technoloy in part of the middleware. Also we researched that it's a connection between domestic TTA (Telecommunications Technology Association) standards and SWE Standard. Finally, we researched for standard service plattform architecture on sensor network through analysis on the possibility of applying OGC-based services platform.

Since the development of the Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), the distributed lookup services are one of the hot topics in the networking area. The main reason of this popularity is the simplicity of the lookup structure. However, the simple key based search mechanism makes the so called "keyword" based search difficult if not impossible. Thus, the applicability of the DHTs is limited to certain areas. In this paper. we find that DHTs can be used as the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) metadata lookup service across a large number of sensor networks. The popularity of the Ubiquitous Sensor Network has motivated the development of the USN middleware services for the sensor networks. One of the key functionalities of the USN middleware service is the lookup of the USN metadata, by which users get various information about the sensor network such as the type of the sensor networks and/or nodes, the residual of the batteries, the type of the sensor nodes. Traditional distributed hash table based lookup systems are good for one sensor network. However, as the number of sensor network increases, the need to integrate the lookup services of many autonomous sensor networks so that they can provide the users an integrated view of the entire sensor network. In this paper, we provide a hybrid lookup model, in which the autonomous lookup services are combined together and provide seamless services across the boundary of a single lookup services. We show that the hybrid model can provide far better lookup performance than a single lookup system.

Nowadays the research and development of various middleware for the ubiquitous computing environment has been demanded and many application services have been provided. The practical ubiquitous computing environment is the world where a variety of services based on RFID/USN devices are integrated with each other and make synergy effects all together. In the end user perspectives, there should be a middleware platform and business logic framework collaborating various services all together to satisfy the user requirements. In addition, the platform should provide the user to describe a scenario based on various event to maximize the collaboration. In this paper, we have proposed business logic framework which is supporting collaboration between heterogeneous service systems based on the user's scenario. We have also tried to show the efficiency and scalability of the proposed framework by providing the result of a couple of tests.

There are many efforts toward the development of next generation gas safety management systems to improve the assurance, availability, and efficiency of the extant systems. Among them, the application of ubiquitous technology, such as RFID and USN, to the system is regarded as a promising approach for enabling such an innovation. Recently the ubiquitous technology became much affordable and available than before thanks to the reduced production cost and wide proliferation of the ubiquitous devices. In this paper, we analyze the core requirements for the next generation gas safety management systems based on the ubiquitous technology, and present an architectural design of a middleware to facilitate the realization of the system. We formally define an event model and present how to specify various situations related to gas safety management using the proposed event model.

Along with the advance of USN technology in a human-oriented informatization society these days, society is quickly changing into a ubiquitous computing society in which information even between objects can be organically combined and utilized. In order to successfully build such a ubiquitous computing society, it is indispensable to have core USN technologies such as USN sensor nodes, sensor networks, USN middleware, and USN applied services that efficiently manage sensing information collected from sensor nodes, and support the abstraction function for the composition of sensor networks. In order to process the transmission event of sensing values that are generated from various USN terminal devices, this study designs a process that performs the abstraction of data for the efficient process of diverse sensing values transferred from USN and RFID terminal devices.
