It's not easy for medium or large sized libraries to effectively manage their vast array of books and media data. Recently, in place of magnetic stripes and barcodes, RFID technology has been applied on a small scale to simple book management and theft-prevention initiatives. The development of RFID and USN applied systems and technology has led to RFID and USN being used in a diverse range of industrial fields, including book management systems in libraries. Using the aforementioned technology, the intelligent book management system suggested in this thesis can provide a more practical, effective, content-rich and convenient book management system.

The wooden cultural assets have the characteristics such as the fast spread of flame and leading to total destruction. Therefore, there is a need for a system for early countermeasure of recognized problem, along with the technological response for accurately recognizing the situation, for the prevention and early suppression of fire. To utilize such technology for detecting the situation through the latest ubiquitous technology and for a quick response to suppress fire, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) technology, flame detector, image sensor, USN-based cultural asset disaster prevention management application case and malfunction identification system realization were examined in this study and the study result was presented focusing on the flame detector malfunction identification system for the ubiquitous-type cultural asset disaster prevention system.

In the construction of USN environment, the implementation of a safe sensor network using wireless communications can be said to be the most important factor in the entire system. Although USN communication uses wireless communications to enhance accessability and non-contact capability, this results in the security vulnerability, thus endangering the system. In this regard, we propose a security protocol that can be effectively applied to USN, a multi-sensor network. The proposed protocol is a method using an individual chaotic system, and it is a security protocol to synchronize the main chaotic system mounted on each sensor and prepared key values into the initial values, and to communicate with the use of the synchronized values as symmetric keys. The communication protocol proposed in this paper is expected to yield good results as a new method to resolve security problems of USN and program capacity limitations of sensor nodes if subsequent studies continue to be carried out.

In this paper, we analyze the hardware and software platform for constructing the USN in the vessel environment. Specifically, we analyze the mote technology based on the CC2420 in the hardware platform and analyze the TinyOS platform in the software platform. We also analyze the physical layer of IEEE802.15.4 which is the standard of the USN communication. In the simulation, we evaluate the performance in the physical layer of ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 by using the MATLAB and verify the validity of constructing the USN in the vessel environment based on the simulation results.

u-City는 첨단 정보통신 인프라와 유비쿼터스 기술을 도시건설에 접목하여 도시의 경쟁력을 제고하고, 도시민의 삶의 질을 향상시키는 미래형 첨단 지능도시다. u-City는 우리가 꿈꾸는 이상적인 도시가 아닌 우리의 삶에 편리함과 건강하고 안전함을 가져다 준다. 이와 같은 기술이 가능한 것은 USN과 같은첨단 IT 기술이 그것을 가능하게 한다. 하지만 USN 기술은 ZigBee를 기반으로 하는 USN과 IP를 기반으로 하는 IP-USN으로 양분되어 있다. 어떠한 기술이 어떤 환경에 적합하지 고려되고 있지 않는 상황에서 어느 한쪽 기술로의 치우침은 u-City 서비스 제공시 중복투자의 문제점을 가져올 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선코자 본 논문에서는 u-City 서비스 모델 사례를 통한 USN 기술 적용방안을 제안하고 타당성을 검토하였다.

Many systems using RFID/USN were and are being developed. Some systems are used in practice and some are not. Generally, the main reasons not being used are: The prices of chips are too high considering the effects. The application domain is not appropriate for RFID/USN. So, various skills for higher sensing precision have been introduced like using multiple sensors and avoiding metals which deter sensings seriously. Now, it is time to evaluate systems which were developed using RFID/USN technology. However, no systematic approach has been made for the evaluation. In this paper, a framework using BSC is introduced for the evaluation of systems using RFID/USN. In this framework, some Critical Success Factors(CSF) are derived and some Key Performance Indices(KPI) are developed for each CSF.

The low-rate (LR) UWB is a promising technology for the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) due to its extremely low power consumption and simple transceiver implementation. However the limited communication range is a bottleneck for its widespread use. This paper deals with a new frame structure of class 4 active RFID multi-hop relay system based on ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard integrating with IEEE 802.15.4a LR-UWB PHY layer specification, which sets up a connection to USN. As a result of the vital importance of the coverage and throughput in the application of USN, further we analyze the performance of the proposed system considered both impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) and chirp spread spectrum (CSS). Our simulation results show that the coverage and throughput are remarkably increased.

USN은 각종 센서를 이용하여 무선으로 정보를 수집할 수 있도록 구성한 네트워크를 말한다. 수백개의 센서네트워크 노드를 사람이 접근 불가능한 취약지구에 설치하여, 사람이 감시하는 것과 같은 기능을 제공한다. Agilla는 USN 환경에서 무선 센서 네트워크를 위하여 설계된 운영체제인 TinyOS에서 동작하는 에이전트 기반의 미들웨어이다. 모바일 에이전트로 구성된 Agilla는 노드 자신이 가지고 있는 상태정보를 근접한 노드들에게 보냄으로서 무선 네트워크 환경을 구성하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Agilla 미들웨어를 이용하여 빌딩이나 호텔과 같은 큰 건축물의 화재를 감시하고 추적하는 무선 네트워크 환경 구축을 설계하였다. 기존의 화재 감시 시스템의 기능을 확장하여 화재 발생시 화재의 감시 기능 뿐만 아니라, 화재의 위치 추적, 소방을 위한 최선의 경로 제공 및 대피자들에게 최선의 대피 경로를 제공한다.

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.
