In this paper, we configure a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) gateway using an arduino and raspberry pi which are recent issues with a representative open source hardware. RFID technology is emerging as a key technology in a variety of environments as a technique to automatically identify objects using a radio frequency signal. In this paper, we propose a distributed RFID gateway for providing various communication methods and processing a large amount of RFID tag information efficiently, and to increase the scalability and middleware communication efficiency of the RFID reader. Existing RFID middleware systems have the problems that they should adhere the web service for interworking with a reader and the communication standard. Therefore, in this paper, we comprise our RFID gate to satisfy not only the serial communication configuration but also various digital signal processing standard so that it increases the communication efficiency of the middleware system.

Along with the development of information and communication technology, smart education that can learn without restrictions of time, place and equipment is activated even in the field of education. Although smart education is provided with content-based training solutions, construction of a system that grasps individual characteristics of learners and provides personalized learning is relatively weak. The activity of free choice is an important play activity of early childhood education, but it is not implemented efficiently by relying on the clinical observation of the teacher. If the IoT(Internet of Things) technology based on Hyper-Connected is applied to free-choice activities, it is possible to provide the child's personalized activity type and play-form analysis based on objective and stylized data. In this paper, we design and implement a system to monitor the child's activity of free choice by building an IoT environment that is based on open source hardware. The proposed system provides children's activity information as objective data and will be used as teacher's work mitigation and custom training material for each child.

Recently, the automotive industry has been studied about driver assistance systems for helping drivers to drive their cars easily by integrating them with the IT technology. This study suggests a method of detecting lanes, robust to road condition changes and applicable to lane departure warning and autonomous vehicles mode. The proposed method uses the method of detecting candidate areas by using the Gaussian filter and by determining the Otsu threshold value and edge. Moreover, the proposed method uses lane gradient and width information through the Hough transform to detect lanes. The method uses road lane information detected before to detect dashed lines as well as solid lines, calculates routes in which the lanes will be located in the next frame to draw virtual lanes. The proposed algorithm was identified to be able to detect lanes in both dashed- and solid-line situations, and implement real-time processing where applied to Raspberry Pi 2 which is open source hardware.

KOSMOS is Korea Open Source MOtion System which is developed based on general purpose hardware and open source software. It is aiming at IEC 61131-3 standard. Real-time ethernet has several advantages for motion control system and distributed control system. So, considering this advantages, KOSMOS has the network interface made up of Real-time ethernet, EtherCAT. In this paper, we explain the KOSMOS platform, the performance for real-time task and show the real case applying KOSMOS platform in manipulator control system.

The era of IoT in which all objects are intelligent and are connected to the Internet has been started. In order to establish and activate an IoT eco system, open services platform is very important. In this paper, we developed a gateway that utilize the Raspberry Pi which is open source hardware for IoT open service platform. The gateway supports a variety of wireless interface and equipped with MQTT, a standard messaging protocol for IoT. To confirm main function of developed gateway, we built a IoT test bed and verified normal operation of our gateway.

In knowledge based society, information technology (IT) has been playing a key role in economic growth. In recent years, it is surprisingly notable that the source of value creation moved from hardware to software in IT industry. Especially, among many kinds of software products, the economic potential of open source was realized by many government agencies. Open source means software codes made by voluntary and open participation of worldwide IT developers, and many policies to promote open source activities were implemented for the purpose of fast growth in IT industry. But in many cases, especially in Korea, the policies promoting open source industry and its ecosystem were not considered successful. Therefore, this study provides the practical reasons for the low performance of Korean open source industry and suggests the pragmatic requisites for effective open source policy. For this purpose, this study applies soft system model (SSM) which is frequently used in academy and industry as a methodology for problem-solving and we link the problems with corresponding policy solutions based on SSM. Given concerns which Korean open source faces now, this study suggests needs for the three different kinds of government policies promoting multiple dimensions of industry: research and development (R&D)-side, supply-side, and computing environment-side. The implications suggested by this research will contribute to implement the practical policy solutions to boost open source industry in Korea.

Increasing use of embedded systems has made many improvements on hardware development for specific purpose. Hardware changes are more expensive and harder to implement rather than software changes. Developers need tools to do design and testing of new hardware. Many simulation tools have been made to mimic the hardware and allow developer to test programs on top of new hardware. Virtual Development Environment for Embedded Software (VDEES) is one of the alternatives available. It provides an open source based platform and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that can be used to build and testing newly made component, faster and at low-cost.

Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) was designed as a solution to support fast fail-over in case of network failure. There exists virtual router which acts as default gateway in LAN, and the virtual router is dynamically elected between master and backup router. Through this protocol, end-hosts can be provided seamless network service. However, it needs expensive license fees and maintenance costs to adopt current commercial network operating systems. Furthermore, they are commonly enterprise proprietary software and inherently closed source. In order to tackle these problem, Open N2OS which is open source based open network software platform was developed. It has no dependency on hardware equipment, and provides high availability, scalability, various networking functions. In this paper, we handle VRRP operation and mechanism with related command line interface (CLI).

There are many problems that occur currently in agriculture industries. The problems such as unexpected of changing weather condition, lack of labor, dry soil were some of the reasons that may cause the growth of the plants. Condition of the weather in local area is inconsistent due to the global warming effect thus affecting the production of the crops. Furthermore, the loss of farm labor to urban manufacturing jobs is also the problem in this industry. Besides, the condition for the plant like air humidity, air temperature, air quality index, and soil moisture are not being recorded automatically which is more reason for the need of implementation system to monitor the data for future research and development of agriculture industry. As of this, we aim to provide a solution by developing IoT-based platform along with the irrigation for increasing crop quality and productivity in agriculture field. We aim to develop a smart garden system environment which the system is able to auto-monitoring the humidity and temperature of surroundings, air quality and soil moisture. The system also has the capability of automating the irrigation process by analyzing the moisture of soil and the climate condition (like raining). Besides, we aim to develop user-friendly system interface to monitor the data collected from the respective sensor. We adopt an open source hardware to implementation and evaluate this research.
