  • Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of critical infrastructure comprises a major pillar of maintenance management, shielding public safety and economic sustainability. Although SHM is usually associated with data-driven metrics and thresholds, expert judgement is essential, especially in cases where erroneous predictions can bear casualties or substantial economic loss. Considering that visual inspections are time consuming and potentially subjective, artificial-intelligence tools may be leveraged in order to minimize the inspection effort and provide objective outcomes. In this context, timely detection of sensor malfunctioning is crucial in preventing inaccurate assessment and false alarms. The present work introduces a sensor-fault detection and interpretation framework, based on the well-established support-vector machine scheme for anomaly detection, combined with a coalitional game-theory approach. The proposed framework is implemented in two datasets, provided along the 1st International Project Competition for Structural Health Monitoring (IPC-SHM 2020), comprising acceleration and cable-load measurements from two real cable-stayed bridges. The results demonstrate good predictive performance and highlight the potential for seamless adaption of the algorithm to intrinsically different data domains. For the first time, the term "decision trajectories", originating from the field of cognitive sciences, is introduced and applied in the context of SHM. This provides an intuitive and comprehensive illustration of the impact of individual features, along with an elaboration on feature dependencies that drive individual model predictions. Overall, the proposed framework provides an easy-to-train, application-agnostic and interpretable anomaly detector, which can be integrated into the preprocessing part of various SHM and condition-monitoring applications, offering a first screening of the sensor health prior to further analysis.

  • This study presents an RTS(Real-time Traffic System) based on an LBS(Location Based Service) using 5.8~5.9GHz RSU(Road Side Unit). The proposed LBI(Location based Broadcast system on ITS) is a local information-based service supported by RSU for drivers, which has a feature of convergence between T-DMB system and ITS-based RTS. The convergence of local broadcasting station and ITS is realized by two-way communication and supports LBS(Location Based Service) by identifying of vehicle's location using RSU. Real-time information delivery and various services could be provided by information exchanges between LMM and local broadcasting stations. Furthermore, conventional technical limitations have been solved mutually such as transmission area limitation in RTS and one-way communication problem in T-DMB. This support real-time two-way communication to each driver. Therefore, it can be expected that traffic dispersion effects and services expansion for drivers by RTS and LBI. Finally, it is proposed to built and implement test-bed around institute.

  • When the mobile device moves from the coverage of one access point to the radio coverage of another access point it needs to maintain its connection with the current access point before it successfully discovers the new access point, this process is known as handoff. During handoff the acceptable delay a voice over IP application can bear is of 50ms whereas the delay on medium access control layer is high enough that goes up to 350-500ms. This research provides a suitable methodology on medium access control layer of the IEEE 802.11 network. The medium access control layer comprises of three phases, namely discovery, reauthentication and re-association. The discovery phase on medium access control layer takes up to 90% of the total handoff latency. The objective is to effectively reduce the delay for discovery phase to ensure a seamless handoff. The research proposes a scheme that reduces the handoff latency effectively by scanning channels prior to the actual handoff process starts and scans only the neighboring access points. Further, the proposed scheme enables the mobile device to scan first the channel on which it is currently operating so that the mobile device has to perform minimum number of channel switches. The results show that the mobile device finds out the new potential access point prior to the handoff execution hence the delay during discovery of a new access point is minimized effectively.

  • The rise in popularity of cloud services has brought about a heightened concern for security in the field of cloud computing. As a response, governments have implemented CSAP(Cloud Security Assurance Program) to ensure the security of these services. However, despite such measures, the emergence of various security vulnerabilities persists, resulting in incidents related to cloud security breaches. To address this, the utilization of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) has been proposed as a means to facilitate the sharing of vulnerability information across different domains. Nevertheless, the unique characteristics of cloud services present challenges in assigning CVE IDs to the diverse range of vulnerabilities within the cloud environment. In this study, we analyzed how CVE can be effectively employed to enhance cloud security. The assignment of a CVE ID is contingent upon the fulfillment of three rules in the Counting Decision and five rules in the Inclusion Decision. Notably, the third rule in the Inclusion Decision, INC3, clashes with the nature of cloud services, resulting in obstacles in assigning CVE IDs to various cloud vulnerabilities. To tackle this issue, we suggest the appointment of designated individuals who would be responsible for overseeing specific areas of cloud services, thereby enabling the issuance of CVE IDs. This proposed approach aims to overcome the challenges associated with the unique characteristics of cloud services and ensure the seamless sharing of vulnerability information. Information sharing regarding vulnerabilities is crucial in the field of security, and by incorporating cloud vulnerabilities into the CVE system, this method can contribute to enhancing the security of cloud services.

  • As interest in digital video media and intelligent systems increases rapidly, technologies using video information are being combined and used in various fields such as security and artificial intelligence. Impulse noise generated during digital image processing degrades the image quality of the image and reduces the reliability of information, so it is necessary to remove it through a filter. There are SMF, AWMF, and MDBUTMF as well-known antecedent methods, but they all have limitations in achieving seamless filtering in environments with large loss of information on valid pixels due to problems with the algorithm itself. Therefore, this paper designs a median filter algorithm that applies weights reflecting the reliability of the information by searching for the nearest effective pixels present within the mask. For performance evaluation, this algorithm and the preceding algorithm were compared and analyzed using PSNR and enlarged images.

  • Automated rebar fabrication, which requires effective information exchange between model designers and fabricators, has brought the integration and interoperability of data from different sources to the notice of both academics and industry practitioners. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) was one of the most commonly used data formats to represent the semantic information of prefabricated components in buildings, whereas the data format utilized by rebar fabrication machine is BundesVereinigung der Bausoftware (BVBS), which is a numerical data structure exchanging reinforcement information through ASCII encoded files. Seamless transformation between IFC and BVBS empowers the automated rebar fabrication and improve the construction productivity. In order to improve data interoperability between IFC and BVBS, this study presents an IFC extension based on the attributes required by automated rebar fabrication machines with the help of Information Delivery Manual (IDM) and Model View Definition (MVD). IDM is applied to describe and display the information needed for the design, construction and operation of projects, whereas MVD is a subset of IFC schema used to describe the automated rebar fabrication workflow. Firstly, with a rich pool of vocabularies practitioners, OmniClass is used in information exchange between IFC and BVBS, providing a hierarchy classification structure for reinforcing elements. Then, using International Framework for Dictionaries (IFD), the usage of each attribute is defined in a more consistent manner to assist the data mapping process. Besides, in order to address missing information within automated fabrication process, a schematic data mapping diagram has been made to deliver IFC information from BIM models to BVBS format for better data interoperability among different software agents. A case study based on the data mapping will be presented to demonstrate the proposed IFC extension and how it could assist/facilitate the information management.
