The objective of this project is to construct the intelligent underground facility management system based on UFSN (Underground Facility Sensor Network). Total project duration is 6-year. And first two years' project has been finished. First two years' project focused on water supply and sewage facilities among 7 underground facilities and investigated the fundamental construction technology for the underground facilities management system. To contribute the development of systematic and scientific management of underground facilities, KRIHS implemented 3 researches for 'Underground facilities management system for an intelligent city' like followings: (1) to investigate an integration plan for current water supply and sewage management systems, (2) to derivate of water supply and sewage monitoring items for the monitoring technology development, and (3) to implement a basic research for sensor installation plans on different types of current and new underground facility systems. This research paper contains the first two years' outcome of researches from KRIHS (Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements).

In this paper, we proposed new sensor network architecture with autonomous robots based on beacon mode and implemented real time monitoring system in real test-bed environment. The proposed scheme offers beacon based real-time scheduling for reliable association process with parent nodes and dynamically assigns network address by using NAA (Next Address Assignment) mechanism. For the large scale multi-sensor processing, our real-time monitoring system accomplished the intelligent database processing, which can generate not only the alert messages to the civilians but also process various sensing data such as fire, air, temperature and etc. Moreover, we also developed mobile robot which can support network mobility. Though the performance evaluation by using real test-bed system, we illustrate that our proposed system demonstrates promising performance for emergence monitoring systems.

Due to the rapid advance in web and mobile computing technologies, normal users have become to produce, provide, and share a varied form of spatial data and information. In the domain of spatial information, numerous researches on GIS have been conducted to provide spatial information services based on a geo-sensor network and a data integration and processing technology. However, to provide user-oriented information, a context information model is necessary to associate GIS data with web and sensor data. Context awareness services is designed to provide specific information, minimizing users' interference. For which, the context information model expresses the relationship of various data from sensor networks and mobile applications and provides a user-specific information considering location and area of interest. Thus, this research aims to develops a context information model based air-pollution information system that obtains and analyses air pollution data and reflects the analysis results on an air-pollution policy. Also, this system aims to raise citizens' awareness on air-pollution and to promote citizens' participatory to improve city's air quality.

X-MAC reduces transmission delay and energy consumption by using a short preamble instead of the existing long preamble. To solve the problem of X-MAC, this paper proposes a new MAC protocol called Express-MAC. The wireless sensor network is mainly used for the purpose of gathering event data or situation information. Especially, the transmission pattern of the sensor network with the purpose of event detection such as intrusion detection is very intermittent as well as successively occurring when a single event takes place in most cases. By reflecting sensor network's key transmission patterns as above, EX-MAC has used multi-hub path's path reservation system and awake section's transmission time reservation method in data transmission when the first event takes place. The awake time reservation in transmission path has improved successive data transmission's end-to-end delay, and it has also increased efficiency in terms of energy consumption by reducing the preamble length of data transmission and reception node.

Wireless sensors play important roles in various areas as ubiquitous computing is generalized. Depending on applications properties, each sensor can be equipped with limited computing power in addition to general function of gathering environment-related information. One of main issues in this environment is to improve energy-efficiency in sensor nodes. In this paper, we devise a new attribute-query processing algorithm. Each sensor has to maintain partial information locally about attributes values gathered at its all descendent nodes. As the volume is higher, however, the maintenance cost also increases. And the update cost also has to be considered in the proposed algorithm. Thus, some bits, AVB(Attribute-Value Bits), are delivered instead of the value itself, where each bit represents a bound of attribute. Thus, the partial information can decrease the number of exchanged messages with a little cost during query processing. Through simulation works, the proposed algorithm is analyzed from several points of view.

Wireless sensor network forms the self-organization network, and transfers the information among sensor nodes that have computing technology ability and wireless communication ability. The recent sensor network is study for low-power, micro, low cost of node is proceeded. Recently, the research of application services in wireless sensor networks is proceeded. Therefore, in this paper, we design the prototype of the real-time information service that support a user the information of temperature, illumination etc. And, we implement the alarm application service fer the disaster prevention on Internet base on IPv4/IPv6. We develop the module of the extract information using the query processing based on TinyOS, and the module of the server's database using MySQL data base management system and JDBC. Additionally, we develop the client module that receive the real-time sensing data using ODBC in Internet based on IPv4/IPv6.

The sensor node's performance is expected to be improved and the price will be largely decreased. As USN-applied field is expanded, multiple application services are expected to be provided through one USN soon. Multiple applications be required a periodic data reporting, consecutive information monitoring, event-driven data and query-based data as the data pattern that USN is delivered. Accordingly, the mechanism which can assure QoS according to each data characteristic is required. In this paper, A proposed protocol apply the duty cycle of S-MAC protocol variably and flexible according QoS level. This method largely reduces the delay on the delay-sensitive traffic, while keeping the energy efficiency.

Recently, a lot of research have been studied to apply wireless sensor networks to USN applications. The characteristics of USN applications is that they are varied according to the sort of sensors and sensing objects. They includes military applications, water pollusion monitoring, intelligent traffic system, farm, logistics, location position applications, and so on. There is no traditional method to classify these applications. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy scheme to classify USN applications. The criteria is based on 3 properties, the criticalness of services, the mobility of sensing entity, and the mobility of sensed objects, to classify them into 8 groups. We also describe the technical issues and related works in them. Our taxonomy can make USN applications to be easily understood and memorized.
