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.

The present USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Networks) node deployment practices have many limitations in terms of positional connectivity. The aim of this research was to minimize a redundancy of USN route nodes, by integrating spatially weighted parameters such as visibility, proximity to cell center, road density, building density and cell overlapping ratio into a comprehensive GIS database. This spatially weighted approach made it possible to reduce the number of route nodes (11) required in the study site as compared to that of the grid network method (24). The field test for RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) indicates that the spatially weighted deployment could comply with the quality assurance standard for node connectivity, and that reduced route nodes do not show a significant degree of signal fluctuation for different site conditions. This study demonstrated that the spatially weighted deployment can be used to minimize a redundancy of USN route nodes in a routine manner, and the quantitative evidence removing a redundancy of USN route nodes could be utilized as major tools to ensure the strong signal in the USN, that is frequently encountered in real applications.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) application S/W has a complex characteristic that it controls various kind of sensor nodes organically based on the core modules of various target operating systems. Currently, various researches for efficient S/W development are being performed in USN application field. In order to increase S/W productivity, the method such as product line development approach to specify core common functions of applications according to the domain and develop applications with the core common functions and variant functions selected according to the workflow of applications is efficient. To apply this approach to the USN domain, characteristics of USN application S/W and product line development should be specified with one consistent view. However, it is difficult to efficiently specify the characteristics using general UML notations. In order to solve the problem, this paper proposes a method to effectively specify the characteristics of USN applications and product line development using UML profile which is the extension mechanism of UML. The proposed UML profile for produce line based USN application development enables developers to effectively develop product line based USN applications using existing UML and UML support tools without new design methods or tools which are specified for USN or product line development.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN) , the core technology for the Ubiquitous environments ,must be operated in the restrictive battery capacity and computing. From this cause, USN needs the lightweight design for low electric energy and the minimum computing. The previous mutual authentication. based on J$\emptyset$sang's trust model, in USN has a character that makes the lightweight mutual authentication possible in conformity with minimum computing. But, it has an imperfection at the components of representing the trust from a lightweight point of view. In this paper, we improve on the J$\emptyset$sang's trust model to apply a lightweight mutual authentication in USN. The proposed trust model in USN defines the trust information with the only degree of trust-entity(x)'s belief. The defined trust information has a superiority over the J$\emptyset$sang's trust model from a computing Point of view. because it computes information by Probability and logic operation(AND).

Recently, the development of the information-communications industry has created a new paradigm of the ubiquitous and the smart environments. An USN is a typical technology for constructing a ubiquitous environments. But the USN technologies applied in practice have a lot of problems and to solve these problems that this study was to build a test bed. For the creation of the needs of USN technology, we suggest a method and service of monitoring of road hazards combining the USN and the Geographic Information System(GIS). We conduct making the USN equipment relevant provisions surveys, making installation guidelines, construction system and real-time testing. This study is capable of the management of public facilities, real-time monitoring of accident and the environment data and is expected to be expanded to a 3D facility management combineded with BIM in the future.

Our research is aimed at developing an architectural frame-work of USN sensor network discovery service systems. The research is fo-cused on the four areas a survey of USN technology, development of a USN software model, development of the design space of the USN sensor network discovery service, and finally the architectural framework of the USN sensor network dicovery service. The survey of the USN technology is conducted on four technological visions that contain USN system technology, USN networking technology, and USN middleware along with the service platform, With respect to each technological division, domestic and worldwide leading research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research output To provide a means to analyze sensor network discovery services, we devel-oped the design space of the sensor network discovery services by exploring the scalability with respect to query scope, lookup performance, and resolution network.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) environments, sensors and sensor nodes, and coming from heterogeneous sensor networks consist of one another, the characteristics of each component are also very diverse. Thus the sensor and the sensor nodes to interoperability between metadata for a single definition, management is very important. For this, the standard language for modeling sensor SensorML (Sensor Model Language) has. In this paper, sensor devices, sensor nodes and sensor networks for information technology in the application stage XMDR-DAI -based metadata to define the USN. The proposed XMDR-DAI USN based store and retrieve metadata for a method for effectively agent technology. Metadata of the proposed sensor is based SensorML USN environment by maintaining interoperability 50-200 USN middleware or a metadata management system for managing metadata in applications can be utilized directly.

A small sized device with computing, communicating, sensing capability is changing our life. It will be deployed in the world and acquire a lot of data from the world. It is used for various applications such as military surveillance, environmental monitoring, structure health monitoring, building management, asset tracking, etc. In this paper we focus on USN middleware for asset tracking. A mobile asset is moving here and there within a specific area. The USN middleware tracks the mobile assets in real-time by using sensor nodes and notify their current positions to a user. To achieve the goal, the USN middleware provides some features related to the positions of mobile assets.. They are storing location data by using 3D indexing method, retrieving them by using spatio-temporal query, making trace of an asset, and retrieving the history data of an asset. In the paper, we developed USN middleware to adapt the requirements of asset tracking. It can help users increase the efficiency of their business related to mobile assets and make a valuable decision.

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.
