RFID/USN is considered as a key convergence technology in future ubiquitous network. In RFID/USN, the power saving issue receives a great attention due to limited battery lifetime of sensor node. In this paper, we propose a new power saving algorithm, which takes advantage of long-term sleep period. To provide a full network connectivity and balance the battery consumption among sensor nodes, the proposed algorithm intelligently selects the long-term sleep sensor nodes. With mathematical analysis and simulations, we prove that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the power consumption of sensor nodes as compared to existing algorithms.

A sow has a characteristic changing in its temperature. It is a suitable time that is decreasing after sow's body temperature increased to the highest point. We observe the variation of temperature through USN(Ubiqutous Sensor Network) system using wireless sensor inserted in the womb. The wireless sensor send massage to user's server and its server send SMS massage to user's cell phone. We contribute to user's income increase as it notice to suitable fecundation.

We focus on the solutions to prevent fatal risk to patient's life caused by transfusing blood which is wrong type or has exceeded norm temperature. Also, this study gives priority to the verification of medical safety of using blood, of which management is applied advanced sensor tag technology adopted RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) temperature sensor and USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) for temperature management of blood. Therefore, this study can contribute to protect of health of patients who take blood transfusion through construction of basis of new process of blood management.

The Application Model in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) consist of wireless sensor network based on sensor hardwares which is combined the micro-controller, chipset for wireless communication and sensors, middleware for dealing with data processing and user application for common service. Applications in WSN have been applied for environmental monitoring, smart factory and have concentrated the services based on remote monitoring applications which is difficult to watch the situation by human. In this paper, we described the construction model for applying for the Ubiquitous disaster prevention system and deal with its conformity. The proposed system includes the selecting the wireless sensor hardware, routing technique for u-Disaster Prevention, composition of middleware and web-interface for application services.

We propose an image change detection algorithm implemented on sensor nodes of the ubiquitous sensor network(USN). The proposed algorithm was designed for the robust detection of image changes regardless of the continuously changing ambient illumination environment. Morphological lowpass filter was used for estimating the illumination component in order to reduce computational burden instead of the existing Gaussian lowpass filter. The decision of the change detection is based on the result of threshold of difference image between two consecutive images. We also propose a new thresholding method using precalculated histogram information. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the MSP430 16bit microprocessor.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)기술이 다양한 분야에 적용하고 응용함으로서 센서 네트워크에서 발생하는 스트림 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하는 기술이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 그리고 센서들에서 발생한 이기종 센서 스트림 데이터는 미들웨어의 메타데이터를 이용하여 센서 모니터링 환경의 상위 응용시스템에서 사용하기 적합한 센서 데이터로의 변환이 필요하다. 기존에 개발된 센서 데이터 처리 시스템에서는 동일한 노드나 지역에서 발생하는 센서 스트림 데이터에 대해서도 미들웨어에서의 불필요한 검색과 연산을 수행하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 캐쉬 테이블방식을 이용하여 중복적인 센서 스트림 데이터 처리의 수행을 줄일 수 있는 센서 스트림 데이터 처리 시스템의 설계를 제안한다.

Ubiquitous computing represents the most explicit attempt yet to move computing technology beyond the confines of tool usage towards a pervasive penetration of everyday life. In this report, as a general introduction of Ubiquitous computing, a trend of Ubiquitous computing devices is proposed for the applied technology fields and our everyday life. We outline a broad analysis of this technology based on a close examination of the researches advancing it. After introducing a framework for understanding modem device technology, we develop an interpretation of ubiquitous computing concentrating on its guiding principles, technological infrastructure, and trends.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol for processing context information in ubiquitous sensor network environments. CASMAC(Context Aware Sensor MAC) use context information for energy-efficient operation and its operation principle is as follows. First, we make scenarios with possible prediction for CASMAC. And then we save setted context information in server. When event occur at specific sensor node, and then it send three times sample data to server. According to context information, server process sample data. If server process sample data with event, it receive continuous data from event occur node by a transmission request signal. And then server send data transmission stop signal to event occur node when it do not need to data. If server process sample data with no event, it have not reply. Through we make energy consumption tables and an energy consumption model, we simulate analysis of CASMAC performance. In a result, we gains about 5.7 percents energy reduction compared to SMAC.

The sensors in a ubiquitous network are limited because of the low power and ultra light weight, so many studies have revolved around the sensor. This study improves the process of the registration and authorization and suggests a way to minimize discloser of privacy by using an alias. We introduce RA(Relay Agent) for the restrict function of sensor node, and improve anonymity for private information of each sensor node by assigning alias from SM(Service Manager) in procedure of registration and authentication. The privacy of sensor node is secure in procedure of registration, authentication, and communication between nodes. We could improve the level of security with the only partial increment of computation power of RA and SM without an increase in the amount of sensor nodes.

In this paper, we introduce a concrete, practical Ubiquitous Organizational Information (UOI) service framework, providing novice users intelligent and useful services respecting the environment. The UOI framework consists of hierarchical network architecture and is based on distributed sensor networks. To provide a rich array of services, the modular software framework and foundation software is designed. The UOI framework and foundation software is implemented on our hardware prototype. We define three representative UOI services and illustrate each service flow operating in our UOI network. In addition, we describe some details in the implementation of a distributed UOI network on the UOI test-bed.
