The Voronoi network can be used to effectively simulate the microstructure of ZnO varistors. The nonuniformity in microstructure of simulated ZnO varistor can be changed by setting different disorder degree of Voronoi network. In the region of disorder degree larger than 3 where the simulated microstructures are similar to those the actual ones of ZnO varistors, a chaotic phenomenon exists in the microstructure characteristics. This chaotic property can simulate the original behavior of nonuniformity of electrical characteristics caused by microstructures of ZnO varistors.

ZnO Varistor is an electronic ceramic device to absorb the surge voltage from low voltage to high. To investigate the puncture mechanism occurring in NnO varistor, the Voronoi simulation for formulating the relation between the applied voltage and the increase of the temperature inside grain is applied. The Voronoi network can realize the structure of the practical varistor better than the established simple network. Using the current through each grain and the voltage applied to the grain, Joule heating energy is calculated and the phenomenon that the puncture occurs can be analyzed quantitatively by simulating the electric and thermal characteristics according to the externally applied pulsed voltage.

개인용 이동형 단말기의 개선된 성능과 비용, 그리고 무선 통신 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 인하여, 이를 이용하는 사용자들의 수가 빠른 속도로 늘고 있다. 그에 따라 사용자들에게 다양한 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 기술이 요구하고 있는 시점이다. 현재까지의 연구를 통해 사용자가 필요로 하는 최단 경로 찾기 등의 기술은 많은 연구가 이루어져 있다. 하지만 사용자의 현재 위치에 따라 여러 가지 추천 서비스를 제공할 수 있게 하는 기술은 우리가 필요로 하는 도로 망에서가 아닌 Euclidean spaces에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 우리는 기존의 연구를 확장시켜, 도로 망에서 이러한 요구를 충족시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 우리가 제안하는 시스템은 질의에 대한 응답을 하기 위해 전처리 단계를 필요로 한다. 이 단계에서는 먼저 전체 도로 망을 몇 개의 Voronoi 다각형으로 나누고, 나누어진 각각의 Voronoi 다각형들에 대한 정보를 계산한다. 이러한 과정에서 도로 망의 규모에 맞춰 자동으로 Voronoi 다각형의 개수를 결정하게 한다. 이를 통해 전체 도로 망의 크기가 변경되더라도, 전처리 단계 정보를 저장하는 공간이 예측 가능하도록 선형적으로 증가되게 하였다. 실제 질의 응답과정에서는 미리 계산된 정보를 이용하여 사용자들에게 빠른 속도의 서비스를 제공 할 수 있게 한다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 시스템이 도로 망에서 최근접 질의와 영역 질의를 효과적으로 처리 하여 탐색 시간과 방문 노드 수에서 많은 이점이 있음을 보인다.

Despite the fact that the deployment of sensor networks and target tracking could both be managed by taking full advantage of Voronoi diagrams, very little few have been made in this regard. In this paper, we designed an optimized barrier coverage and an energy-efficient clustering algorithm for forming Vonoroi-based Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) in which we proposed a mobile target tracking scheme (CTT&MAV) that takes full advantage of Voronoi-diagram boundary to improve detectability. Simulations verified that CTT&MAV outperforms random walk, random waypoint, random direction and Gauss-Markov in terms of both the average hop distance that the mobile target moved before being detected and lower sensor death rate. Moreover, we demonstrate that our results are robust as realistic sensing models and also validate our observations through extensive simulations.

최근 사용자에게 자신과 가장 가까운 k 개의 주유소, 레스토랑, 은행 등의 POI(Point Of Interest) 정보를 추천해주는 위치 기반 서비스가 텔레매틱스, ITS(Intelligent Transport Systems), 키오스크(kiosk)등의 어플리케이션에서 필요로 하고 있다. 이를 위해, 보로노이 다이어그램 k-최근접점 탐색 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 이는 보로노이 다이어그램에서 각 POI의 네트워크의 거리를 미리 계산한 파일을 이용하여 k-최근접점 탐색을 수행한다. 그러나 이 알고리즘은 보로노이 다이어그램 확장에 따른 비용 문제를 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 보로노이 다이어그램의 경계지점마다 각각에 대하여 최소거리 행렬을 생성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 k 개의 POI를 탐색하기 위해, 최소거리 행렬을 이용한 k-최근접점 탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 미리 계산된 경계 지점 간 최소거리 행렬을 통해 탐색하므로, k-최근 접점 탐색 시 보로노이 다이어그램의 확장비용을 최소화한다. 아울러 기존 연구와의 성능비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘에 비해 검색시간 측면에서 성능이 우수함을 보인다.

Information spread in networks is universal in many real-world phenomena such as propagation of infectious diseases, diffusion of a new technology, computer virus/spam infection in the internet, and tweeting and retweeting of popular topics. The problem of finding the information source is to pick out the true source if information spread. It is of practical importance because harmful diffusion can be mitigated or even blocked e.g., by vaccinating human or installing security updates. This problem has been much studied, where it has been shown that the detection probability cannot be beyond 31% even for regular trees if the number of infected nodes is sufficiently large. In this paper, we study the impact of an anti-information spreading on the original information source detection. We consider an active defender in the network who spreads the anti-information against to the original information simultaneously and propose an inverse Voronoi partition based inference approach, called Voronoi Inference to find the source. We perform various simulations for the proposed method and obtain the detection probability that outperforms to the existing prior work.

This paper presents an EMG pattern classification method to identify motion commands for the control of the artificial arm by SOM-TVC(self organizing map - tracking Voronoi cell) based on neural network with a feature parameter. The eigenvalue is extracted as a feature parameter from the EMG signals and Voronoi cells is used to define each pattern boundary in the pattern recognition space. And a TVC algorithm is designed to track the movement of the Voronoi cell varying as the condition of additive noise. Results are presented to support the efficiency of the proposed SOM-TVC algorithm for EMG pattern recognition and compared with the conventional EDM and BPNN methods.

Smart IoT over high speed network and high performance smart devices explodes the ubiquitous services and applications. Nearest Neighbor(NN) query is one of the important type of queries that have to be supported for ubiquitous information services. In order to process efficiently NN queries in the wireless broadcast environment, it is important that the clients determine quickly the search space and filter out NN from the candidates containing the search space. In this paper, we propose a hybrid index of Voronoi and grid partition to provide quick search space decision and rapid filtering out NN from the candidates. Grid partition plays the role of helping quick search space decision and Voronoi partition providing the rapid filtering. We show the effectiveness of the proposed index by comparing the existing indexing schemes in the access time and tuning time. The evaluation shows the proposed index scheme makes the two performance parameters improved than the existing schemes.

Through staggering advancements of technology and network as we know them as digital revolution, we have established a foundation of space in which we can express reality by eliminating the boundaries between expression, space, and movement. There are many ongoing approaches that aim to overcome the physically-fixed property of space where the mathematical-geometric notion of Voronoi Diagram is one of them. Although the repetitive increment based on self-organization during the process in which space is generated by the Voronoi Diagram forms a pattern and focuses on the formation, its pattern is not restricted to a single method of expression but evolves over self-control. The result of having analyzed spaces generated by the Voronoi Diagram in this study can be summarized as follows. First, the Voronoi computation method with self-organization property creates multiple levels, increments, and evolves through feedbacks among changes with the slightest order and in the absence of control. Secondly, after forming a pattern through such feedbacks comes the differentiation phase due to the presence of different properties. Thirdly, a space that has gone through the generation process retransforms through active interaction between changes and it obtains ambiguous boundaries and a repetitive pattern. This leads to an evolution of space through repetitive increments based on self-organization. Such flexible space creation is supported by various digital technologies where we believe a converging application of these studies, sciences, engineering concepts, and space design is and effective and new method in terms of space creation.

A microstructure of realistic ZnO varistor was constructed by Voronoi network and studied cia computer simulation. The grain size and standard deviation was calculated with new method and have good agreement with experimental data. In this network, the grain boundary conditions of three different type are randomly distributed. The three electrical boundary conditions . (1) type A junctions (high nonlinearity); (2) type B junctions (low nonlinearity); (3) type C junctions (linear with low-resistivity) are fitted from the experimental measurement. The electrical properties were studied by varying the boundary type concentration and the disorder parameter d. The shape of I-V characteristic curve of the network is affected by the type concentration and the disorder parameter has an effect on the double inflected region.
