Service provision and consumption platforms are more and more used to enable communication between sensors, actuators and intelligent devices, since they provide mechanisms that make possible the combination of components to create composed services. However, these kinds of platforms have limitations to adapt themselves to new and unknown devices. In this work we analyze the challenge of component or bundle communication by using the Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) technology and we propose three mechanisms with the aim of contributing to flexible component communication: Common Service, Specific Service and WSIF Web Service Invocation. We provide these solutions with some architectural models and validate them through different example services. Finally we compare them regarding performance, flexibility and application complexity.

The monitoring and controlling systems on middleware for agriculture service instead of pigpen is focused on context-awareness and event-centric structure in this paper. By processing and monitoring context information which obtained from a sensor field, the u-Farm middleware is to promptly provide the response for various queries from agriculture's application service. It allows a device to provide optimal ubiquitous farm environment.

As sensor network technologies developed, the sphere field of application is escalated unfortunately, the applicable size is smaller than the actual quantity of cattle in feedlot. In this paper, we simulated and evaluated biological data transmission performance of virtual cattle feedlot. Deducted conclusions show us a more efficient cattle control scenario is required and effective routing protocol design and modification are needed.

Recently increasing application of flash memory in mobile and ubiquitous related devices is due to its non-volatility, fast response time, shock resistance and low power consumption. Following this trend, SSD(Solid State Disk) using multiple flash chips, instead of hard-drive based storage system, started to widely used for its advantageous features. However, flash memory based storage subsystem should resolve the performance bottleneck for writing in perspective of speed and lifetime according to its disadvantageous physical property. In order to provide tangible performance, solutions are studied in aspect of reclaiming of invalid regions by decreasing the number of erasures and distributing the erasures uniformly over the whole memory space as much as possible. In this paper, we study flash memory recycling algorithms with multiple management units and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides feasible performance. The proposed method utilizes the partitions of the memory space by utilizing threshold values and reconfigures the management units if necessary. The performance of the proposed policies is evaluated through a number of simulation based experiments.

본 논문에서는 대부분의 공동 영역에서 사용하는 상부에 설치된 감시카메라에서 사람의 얼굴 영역을 검출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 제안 기법에서는 입력 영상에 대한 원근 변환을 통하여 영상 보정을 처리하고 보정된 영상에서 얼굴 감지 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 기존의 방법에서 검출할 수 없는 고개를 숙인 얼굴에서도 얼굴을 검출할 수 있도록 하였다. 실험결과 고개를 숙인 얼굴이나 상부의 카메라에 의해 촬영된 영상에서 기존의 방법에 비해 보다 안정적으로 얼굴 영역을 검출할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 비모수적 클러스터링 기법을 이용하여 다양한 조명에 노출된 의상들의 색상 유사성을 안정적으로 판단하는 방법을 제안한다. 색상 유사성 판별을 위하여 기존에 대표적으로 사용되어왔던 히스토그램 인터섹션이나 누적 히스토그램 방법은 조명 변화에 민감하게 반응하여, 동일한 의상 색상이라 할지라도 서로 다른 조명환경에서는 서로 상이한 색상 판별 결과를 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 조명에 의한 영향을 줄이고, 색상 자체의 분포 특성을 분석하기 위하여 조명조건의 변화에도 일관된 특성을 유지하는 색도와 채도 컬러 성분에 대한 분포 특성을 비모수적 클러스터링 기법을 적용하여 분석한다. 실험 결과 제안기법은 동일한 의상 쌍과 상이한 의상 쌍에 대하여 구분을 지을 수 있는 양자화의 특성이 뚜렷하게 표현되었다.

The use of Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) in medical context enables not only drug identification, but also a rapid and precise identification of patients, physicians, nurses or any other health care related staffs. The combination of RFID tag identification with structured and secured Internet of Things (IoT) solutions enables ubiquitous and easy access to medical related records, while providing control and security to all interactions. This paper surveyed a basic security architecture, easily deployable on mobile platforms, which would allow to establish and manage a medication prescription service in mobility context making use of electronic personal health records.

As RFID technology is becoming ubiquitous, the secunty of these systems gets much attention. Its fields of usage include personal identification, supply-chain management systems, and many more. Many kinds of RFID tags are available on the market which differ both in storage, and computational capacity. Since by standard IT means all the tags have small capacities, the security mechanisms which are in use in computer networks are not suitable. For expensive tags with relatively large computational capacities many secure communication protocols were developed, for cheap low-end tags, only a few lightweight protocols exist. In this paper we introduce our solution, which is based on the least computation demanding operator, the exclusive or function. By introducing two tags instead of one in the RFID system, our scheme provides security solutions which are comparable with those provided by the lightweight protocols. In the meantime, our scheme does not demand any computational steps to be made by the ta.

The domestic construction industry is becoming larger, high-rise and specialized. However, safety consciousness is still staying in low levels and falling accidents are apt to rise compared to other industries. So, the new way of safety management is required for reducing of the construction falling accidents. In this paper, we evaluate appropriateness of safety management on construction sites utilizing USN using smart safery equipment. Thus, we calculate loss costs of falling accidents considering accident rates and costs of the USN using smart safery equipment installation then compare both calculated costs. This research aims to propose the method for reduction of construction accidents in addition to conventional safety control methods by analyzing the propriety of applying USN using smart safery equipment on construction sites.

현재에 시스템의 결함을 분석하는 안전성 분석 기법들이 여러 가지가 있다. 본 논문에서는 많은 결함 분석 기법 중에서 FTA(Fault Tree Analysis)와 FMECA(Failure Modes, Effect and Criticality Analysis)을 통하여 안전성 분석을 하고자 한다. 또한 이 두 가지 기법을 따로 사용하지 않고 전방에서 FTA 분석을 하고 후방에서 FMECA 분석을 수행하는 통합 기법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 각 기법의 단점을 최소화하고 장점을 최대화 하여 안전성 분석의 효율성을 제고하고자 한다.
