Wireless sensors have been developed in numerous ways for enhancing the convenience of installation, management and maintenance of sensors. Energy harvesting wireless sensors, which can collect energy from the external environment for permanent usage without the need of recharging and exchanging batteries, have been developed and employed used in Internet of Things and at various industrial sites. Energy harvesting wireless sensors are significantly affected by the sensor lifespan to sudden variation in the external environment. Furthermore, reduction in the sensor operating timespan can greatly affect the characteristics of the devices connected through a network. In this paper, a system performance index is proposed that can comprehensively evaluate the lifespan of a solar cell wireless sensor, determine the characteristics of devices connected to the associated network, and recommend dynamic power distribution control for improving the system performance index. Improvement in the system performance index was verified by applying the proposed dynamic power distribution control to an air conditioner network system using a solar cell wireless sensor. Obtained results corroborate that the dynamic power distribution control can extend the lifespan of the incorporated wireless sensor and reduce the air conditioner's power consumption.

Nowadays, most researchers and manufacturers always pay attention on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its potential applications in many regions such as military, industrial and civilian areas. WSNs are the basic components of Internet of Things (IoT) and the key to machine-to-machine communications and the future Internet. Also, the security is an essential element for deploying WSNs. Recently the concept of trust-based mechanism was proposed in WSNs such as traditional cryptographic and authentication mechanisms. However, there is lack a survey on trust management for WSNs, IoT even future Internet. In this paper, we discuss the concept and potential application areas of trust management for WSNs and IoT worlds. Furthermore, we survey different trust management issues (i.e., cluster, aggregation, reputation). Finally, future research directions with respect to trust management in WSNs and future IoT world are provided. We give not only simple WSNs for IoT environments but also a simulated bootstrap platform to provide the discussion of open challenges and solutions for deploying IoT in Future Internet.

In an environment in which a limited type and number of sensors are used, a demand for acquiring various context information may appear. In this study, a new method for acquiring various context information than before was proposed in an environment in which a limited number of sensors are required. To this end, a clue was obtained from the Exon-Intron theory, which is gaining great interest in the field of biology, and a method for acquiring various context information was proposed based on this. By applying Exon-Intron's selective cutting and combining method, events of each sensor were efficiently cut and each event data was combined and utilized, thereby realizing the diversification of the acquired context information.

In Internet of Things (IoT), the aim of the nodes (called 'Things') is to exchange information with each other, whereby they gather and share information with each other through self decision-making. Therefore, we cannot apply existing aggregation algorithms of Wireless sensor networks that aim to transmit information to only a sink node or a central server, directly to the IoT environment. In addition, since existing algorithms aggregate information from all sensor nodes, problems can arise including an increasing number of transmissions and increasing transmission delay and energy consumption. In this paper, we propose the clustering and property based data exchange method for energy efficient information sharing. First, the proposed method assigns the properties of each node, including the sensing data and unique resource. The property determines whether the node can respond to the query requested from the other node. Second, a cluster network is constructed considering the location and energy consumption. Finally, the nodes communicate with each other efficiently using the properties. For the performance evaluation, TOSSIM was used to measure the network lifetime and average energy consumption.

Cattle behavior detection system based on Internet of Things is designed and implemented by using gyroscope and acceleration sensor, Arduino pro-mini and bluetooth module. The implemented system measures cattle's moving and the measured data are transmitted to smart phone by bluetooth module. They are displayed by 2-dimensional graph on the smart phone and the number of cattle's step are calculated from the graph. The detected and gathered data from the system are analyzed by the proposed algorithm to decide which cows are in the estrus or not, and the proposed system can be used to increase the success rate of artificial insemination in normal estrus by detecting cow's behaviors such as the number of steps and jumping. In this paper, the implemented cattle behavior detecting system are strapped on cattle's leg and it measures cattle behaviors for determining that a cattle is estrus or not by the proposed algorithm. In the future research, the system which lengthens communication distance and increases the number of cattle under the test will be considered and also the measured data will be database for cattle research.

Internet of Things (IoT) is producing various data as the smart environment comes. The IoT data collection is used as important data to judge systems's status. Therefore, it is important to monitor the anomaly state of the sensor in real-time and to detect anomaly data. However, it is necessary to convert the IoT data into a normalized data structure for anomaly detection because of the variety of data structures and protocols. Thus, we can expect a good quality effect such as accurate analysis data quality and service quality. In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection system based on big data from collected sensor data. The proposed system is applied to ensure anomaly detection and keep data quality. In addition, we applied the machine learning model of support vector machine using anomaly detection based on time-series data. As a result, machine learning using preprocessed data was able to accurately detect and predict anomaly.

In context awareness using multiple sensors, when using sensor data detected and sent by each sensor, it is necessary to give different weights for each sensor. Even if the same type of sensor is configured for the same situation, sometimes it is necessary to assign different weights due to other secondary factors. It is inevitable to assign weights to events in the real world, and it can be said that a weighting method that can be used in a context awareness system using multiple sensors is necessary. In this study, we propose a weighting method for each sensor that reports to the host while the sensors continue to detect over time. In most IoT environments, the sensor continues the detection activity, and when the detected value shows a change pattern beyond a predetermined range, it is basically reported to the host. This can be called a kind of data stream environment. A weighting method was proposed for sensing data from multiple sensors in a data stream environment, and the new weighting method was to select and assign weights to data that indicates a context change in the stream.

In case that limited resources can be mobilized, non-structural countermeasures such as 'monitoring using Information and Communication Technology might be one of solutions to mitigate disaster risks. Having established the monitoring system, operational and maintenance costs to maximize the effectiveness might trouble the authority concerned or duty attendant who is in charge. In this respect, "Guerrilla Sensor" would be very cost effective because of the inherent mobility characteristic. The sensor device with the IRIS camera and GPS (Global Positioning System) equipped, is basically battery-operated and communicates with WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). It has a strong advantage of capabilities for 'Disaster Response' with immediate and prompt action on the spot, making the best use of IoT (Internet of Things), especially with the mobile web. This paper will explain how the sensor system works in real-time GIS (Geographic Information System) pinpointing the exact location of the abnormal movement/ground displacement and notifying the registered users via SMS (Short Message Service). Real time monitoring with early warning and evaluation of current situations with LBS (Location Based Service), live image and data information can help to reduce the disaster impact. Installation of Guerrilla sensor for a real site application at Gimcheon, South Korea is also reported.
