This paper introduces a sequential clustering technique as a tool for an effective grouping of transmission systems. The interconnected network system retains information about the location of each line. With this information, this paper aims to carry out initial clustering through the transmission usage rate, compare the similarity measures of regional information with the similarity measures of location price, and introduce the techniques of the clustering method. This transmission usage rate uses power flow based on congestion costs and similarity measurements using the FCM(Fuzzy C-Mean) algorithm. This paper also aims to prove the propriety of the proposed clustering method by comparing it with existing clustering methods that use the similarity measurement system. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated through the IEEE 39-bus RTS and Korea power system.

The Location-Based Service (LBS) is one of the most well-known services on the Internet. Positioning is the primary association with LBS services. This study proposes an intelligent LoRa-based positioning system, called AI@LBS, to provide accurate location data. The fingerprint mechanism with the clustering algorithm in unsupervised learning filters out signal noise and improves computing stability and accuracy. In this study, data noise is filtered using the DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm, increasing the positioning accuracy from 95.37% to 97.38%. The problem of data imbalance is addressed using the SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) technique, increasing the positioning accuracy from 97.38% to 99.17%. A field test in the NTUST campus (www.ntust.edu.tw) revealed that AI@LBS system can reduce average distance error to 0.48m.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of a large amount of sensor nodes distributed in a certain region. Due to the limited battery power of a sensor node, lots of energy-efficient schemes have been studied. Clustering is primarily used for energy efficiency purpose. However, clustering in WSNs faces several unattained issues, such as ensuring connectivity and scheduling inter-cluster transmissions. In this paper, we propose a location-based spiral clustering (LBSC) algorithm for improving connectivity and avoiding inter-cluster collisions. It also provides reliable location aware routing paths from all cluster heads to a sink node during cluster formation. Proposed algorithm can simultaneously make clusters in four spiral directions from the center of sensor field by using the location information and residual energy level of neighbor sensor nodes. Three logical addresses are used for categorizing the clusters into four global groups and scheduling the intra- and inter-cluster transmission time for each cluster. We evaluated the performance with simulations and compared it with other algorithms.

Because of unreplenishable power resources, reducing node energy consumption to extend network lifetime is an important requirement in wireless sensor networks. In addition both path length and path cost are important metrics affecting sensor lifetime. We propose a dynamic clustering scheme based on location in wireless sensor networks. Our scheme can localize the effects of route failures, reduce control traffic overhead, and thus enhance the reachability to the destination. We have evaluated the performance of our clustering scheme through a simulation and analysis. We provide simulation results showing a good performance in terms of approximation ratios.

최근 스마트 폰 이용자 수가 증가하면서 다양한 위치 기반 서비스들이 주목을 받고 있다. 위치 기반 서비스는 사용자의 위치와 시스템이 가지고 있는 다양한 정보를 결합하여 사용자에게 유용한 정보를 전달해 주기도 하지만 이로 인한 개인 정보의 침해 가능성 역시 높은 것이 사실이다. 최근의 위치 기반 서비스에서의 프라이버시 관련 연구는 K-anonymity를 만족하는 Cloaking 영역 생성에 중점을 두고 있다. 본 논문에서는 위치 기반 서비스를 위한 계층 클러스터 기반 Cloaking 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 약간 변형된 응집 계층 클러스터링 기법을 사용해서 트리를 생성한 뒤, Reciprocity 성질을 만족시키는 Cloaking 영역을 생성한다. 제안 기법은 Reciprocity 성질을 만족시키며, Hilbert Cloak보다 작고 RC-AR과 비슷한 크기의 영역을 생성하며, 생성 속도는 Hilbert Cloak과 비슷하며 RC-AR보다는 훨씬 빠르다.

Many of the recent performance evaluation of clustering schemes in wireless sensor networks considered one sink node operation and fixed sink node location without mentioning about any network application requirements. However, application environments have variable requirements about their networks. In addition, network performance is sufficiently influenced by different sink node location scenarios in multi-hop based network. We also know that sink location can influence to the sensor network performance evaluation because of changed multipath of sensor nodes and changed overload spots in multipath based wireless sensor network environment. Thus, the performance evaluation results are hard to trust because sensor network is easily changed their network connection through their routing algorithms. Therefore, we suggest that these schemes need to evaluate with different sink node location scenarios to show fair evaluation result. Under the results of that, network performance evaluation results are acknowledged by researchers. In this paper, we measured several clustering scheme's performance variations in accordance with various types of sink node location scenarios. As a result, in the case of the clustering scheme that did not consider various types of sink location scenarios, fair evaluation cannot be expected.

Detecting anomalies in human movement is an important task in industrial applications, such as monitoring industrial disasters or accidents and recognizing unauthorized factory intruders. In this paper, we propose an abnormal worker movement detection system based on data stream processing and hierarchical clustering. In the proposed system, Apache Spark is used for streaming the location data of people. A hierarchical clustering-based anomalous trajectory detection algorithm is designed for detecting anomalies in human movement. The algorithm is integrated into Apache Spark for detecting anomalies from location data. Specifically, the location information is streamed to Apache Spark using the message queuing telemetry transport protocol. Then, Apache Spark processes and stores location data in a data frame. When there is a request from a client, the processed data in the data frame is taken and put into the proposed algorithm for detecting anomalies. A real mobility trace of people is used to evaluate the proposed system. The obtained results show that the system has high performance and can be used for a wide range of industrial applications.

Basic objective in cluster analysis is to discover natural groupings of items. In general, clustering is conducted based on some similarity (or dissimilarity) matrix or the original input data. Various measures of similarities between objects are developed. In this paper, we consider a clustering of huge categorical real data set which shows the aspects of time-location-activity of Korean people. Some useful similarity measure for the data set, are developed and adopted for the categorical variables. Hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering method are applied for the considered data set which is huge and consists of many categorical variables.
