센서 네트워크에서는 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 다양한 계층적 클러스터링 방법이 제안되었다. 그러나 대부분의 연구에서 나타나는 문제점은 노드의 실제 배치를 생각하지 않고 일방적인 그리드 형태의 구조 또는 무작위 적인 클러스터 구조를 구성하는 것이다. 이렇게 구성된 클러스터는 클러스터의 크기와 포함된 노드의 수가 불균형하기 때문에 큰 에너지 효율을 보이기 힘들다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 실제 노드들이 배치가 된 후 R-Tree의 노드 분할 및 병합 알고리즘에 착안하여 보다 더 효율적인 클러스터를 구성할 수 있는 방법인 CSM(Clustering using Split & Merge algorithm)을 제안한다. 다양한 실험결과 CSM은 기존 방법보다 에너지 효율적인 클러스터링을 생성함으로써 최대 1.6배의 에너지 효율을 보였다.

This paper presents an approach of the Gustafson-Kessel (GK) clustering algorithm's performance in fault identification on power transmission lines. The clustering algorithm is incorporated in a scheme that uses hybrid intelligent technique to combine artificial neural network and a fuzzy inference system, known as adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The scheme is used to identify the type of fault that occurs on a power transmission line, either single line to ground, double line, double line to ground or three phase. The scheme is also capable an analyzing the fault location without information on line parameters. The range of error estimation is within 0.10 to 0.85 relative to five values of fault resistances. This paper also presents the performance of the GK clustering algorithm compared to fuzzy clustering means (FCM), which is particularly implemented in structuring a data. Results show that the GK algorithm may be implemented in fault identification on power system transmission and performs better than FCM.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서노드의 수명은 배터리에 의해 제한되므로 에너지는 가장 중요한 고려사항이다. 클러스터링은 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 효율적으로 관리하는데 사용되는 방법 중 하나이며, LEACH는 대표적인 클러스터링 알고리즘이다. LEACH는 센서 노드들의 에너지 소비를 공평하게 분산시키기 위해 에너지 소모적 기능을 하는 클러스터 헤드를 매 라운드마다 무작위로 순환시키는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 클러스터 헤드의 무작위 선정은 매 라운드 최적의 클러스터 헤드 수를 보장해주지 못한다. 그리고 밀도가 높은 클러스터에 위치한 클러스터 헤드는 과부하 상태가 된다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 헤드의 수를 보장하기 위한 토큰 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선정 알고리즘과 균등한 밀도의 클러스터 형성을 위한 클러스터 선택 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안하는 알고리즘이 LEACH 보다 네트워크 수명이 9.3%정도 연장됨을 보여주었다.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cluster based data routing protocols have the advantages of reducing energy consumption and link maintenance cost. Unfortunately, most of clustering protocols have been designed for uniformly distributed sensor networks. However, some urgent situations do not allow thousands of sensor nodes being deployed uniformly. For example, air vehicles or balloons may take the responsibility for deploying sensor nodes hence leading a normally distributed topology. In order to improve energy efficiency in such sensor networks, in this paper, we propose a new cluster formation algorithm named DAEEC (Density Aware Energy-Efficient Clustering). In this algorithm, we define two kinds of clusters: Low Density (LD) clusters and High Density (HD) clusters. They are determined by the number of nodes participated in one cluster. During the data routing period, the HD clusters help the neighbor LD clusters to forward the sensed data to the central base station. Thus, DAEEC can distribute the energy dissipation evenly among all sensor nodes by considering the deployment density to improve network lifetime and average energy savings. Moreover, because the HD clusters are densely deployed they can work in a manner of our former algorithm EEVAR (Energy Efficient Variable Area Routing Protocol) to save energy. According to the performance analysis result, DAEEC outperforms the conventional data routing schemes in terms of energy consumption and network lifetime.

In this paper, we consider a group mobility model to formulate a clustering mechanism called Dual Coalescent Energy-Efficient Algorithm (DCEE) which is scalable, distributed and energy-efficient for wireless mesh network. The differences of the network nodes will be distinguished to exploit heterogeneity of the network. Furthermore, a topology control, that is, adjusting the transmission range to further reduce power consumption will be integrated with the cluster formation to improve network lifetime and connectivity. Along with network lifetime and power consumption, clusterhead changes will be measured as a performance metric to evaluate the. effectiveness and robustness of the algorithm.

The wireless sensor networks have been extensively researched. One of the issues in wireless sensor networks is a developing energy-efficient clustering protocol. Clustering algorithm provides an effective way to extend the lifetime of a wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we proposed an energy efficient clustering scheme by adjusting group size. In sensor network, the power consumption in data transmission between sensor nodes is strongly influenced by the distance of two nodes. And cluster size, that is the number of cluster member nodes, is also effected on energy consumption. Therefore we proposed the clustering scheme for high energy efficiency of entire sensor network by controlling cluster size according to the distance between cluster header and sink.

In ad hoc network, the scarce energy management of the mobile devices has become a critical issue in order to extend the network lifetime. Therefore, the energy consumption is important in the routing design, otherwise cluster schemes are efficient in energy conserving. For the above reasons, an Energy conserving Context aware Clustering algorithm (ECC) is proposed to establish the network clustering structure, and a routing algorithm is introduced to choose the Optimal Energy Routing Protocol (OERP) path in this paper. Because in ad hoc network, the topology, nodes residual energy and energy consuming rate are dynamic changing. The network system should react continuously and rapidly to the changing conditions, and make corresponding action according different conditions. So we use the context aware computing to actualize the cluster head node, the routing path choosing. In this paper, we consider a novel routing protocol using the cluster schemes to find the optimal energy routing path based on a special topology structure of Resilient Ontology Multicasting Routing Protocol (RODMRP). The RODMRP is one of the hierarchical ad hoc network structure which combines the advantage of the tree based and the mesh based network. This scheme divides the nodes in different level found on the node energy condition, and the clustering is established based on the levels. This protocol considered the residual energy of the nodes and the total consuming energy ratio on the routing path to get the energy efficiently routing. The proposed networks scheme could get better improve the awareness for data to achieve and performance on their clustering establishment and messages transmission. Also, by using the context aware computing, according to the condition and the rules defined, the sensor nodes could adjust their behaviors correspondingly to improve the network routing.

모바일 에드혹 네트워크는 고정된 인프라의 도움 없이 이동 노드만으로 구성되므로 네트워크의 독립성과 융통성을 높일 수 있으나, 노드의 참여와 이탈의 자유로움 때문에 네트워크를 운영할 때, 망의 형태를 안정적으로 관리하는 것은 무엇보다도 중요하고 어려운 문제이다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여. 관리와 안전성에 중점을 둔 분산가중치 클러스터링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 초기클러스터 형성시에는 기존의 분산가중치 알고리즘을 사용하고 클러스터 형성 후 이동 노드들로 인해 발생되는 재클러스터링을 최소한으로 줄이기 위해 부 클러스터 헤드와 분산게이트웨이라는 개념을 사용한다. 성능 검증을 위해 초기의 오버헤드, 재 가입률, 클러스터의 수를 기준으로 기존의 DCA과 WCA 알고리즘과 제안된 알고리즘을 비교, 평가한다.

The medical informatics for clustering Sasang types with collected clinical data is important for the personalized medicine, but it has not been thoroughly studied yet. The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of neural network data mining algorithm for traditional Korean medicine. We used Kohonen neural network, the Self-Organizing Map (SOM), for the analysis of biomedical information following data pre-processing and calculated the validity index as percentage correctly predicted and type-specific sensitivity. We can extract 12 data fields from 30 after data pre-processing with correlation analysis and latent functional relationship analysis. The profile of Myers-Briggs Type Inidcator and Bio-Impedance Analysis data which are clustered with SOM was similar to that of original measurements. The percentage correctly predicted was 56%, and sensitivity for So-Yang, Tae-Eum and So-Eum type were 56%, 48%, and 61%, respectively. This study showed that the neural network algorithm for clustering Sasang types based on clinical data is useful for the sasang type diagnostic test itself. We discussed the importance of data pre-processing and clustering algorithm for the validity of medical devices in traditional Korean medicine.

The application of Wireless Sensor Networks requires a wise utilization of limited energy resources. Therefore, a wide range of routing protocols with a motivation to prolong the lifetime of a network has been proposed in recent years. Hierarchical clustering based protocols have become an object of a large number of studies that aim to efficiently utilize the limited energy of network components. In this paper, the effect of mismatch in parameter estimation is discussed to evaluate the robustness of a distanced based algorithm called distributed clustering protocol in homogeneous and heterogeneous environment. For quantitative analysis, performance simulations for this protocol are carried out in terms of the network lifetime which is the main criteria of efficiency for the energy limited system.
