The tactical training system that was applied to wire at open terrain and field is no training accomplishment in conformity with battlefield situation portrayal. Therefore, this paper developed the tactical training and evaluation system for growing fruitfully that is installed as a tactical training monitoring system by USN WMN through controlled sensing interlock for collecting sensing data and guaranteed training equipment status and report training result for serviceability of manager. additionally we implemented controller for managing server of sending and manipulating of being gathered training data by sensor using USN and system as GUI methods. This system is easy for adapting new and improved protocol in order to processing many function of H/W and algorithms which is generated by controlled system is applicable easily.

We propose a surveillance-alert system based on optimal placements of PDR(Pulsed Doppler Radar) sensors in USN. By using the detection information of moving target from PDR sensor and by considering the covered detection region and geographical property of the strategic area, three optimal placements of sensors are proposed. The proposed placement are named as the grid type, the linear type and the zigzag type. Also, the surveillance alert system based on three sensor placements are developed. The alert level of the proposed surveillance-alert system are 'Perception', 'Caution', 'Warning' and 'Danger' which are decided by the distance change between the moving targets and the command post. The performace of the developed system is verified via outdoor experiments.

For the prevention of air pollution, the CNG vehicles have been supplied since 2006. The spread of CNG vehicles has decreased the level of air pollution. Declared goals of Korean Ministry of Environment (ME) are to supply CNG city bus by 90% by 2012. CNG bus explosion has exacerbated commuters' safety concerns, it has caused the barrier to the installation of CNG station. In this study, the sensor was installed for the safety improvement of CNG station. When new sensors were installed, a problem was encountered by a line of communication. To solve the installation problem, we carried out the monitoring of data communication network by USN technology.

This paper introduces domestic and international trends and researches related with U-Greenhouse systems. USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Networks), along with the development of networks as well as science and technology, is a new computing paradigm which is the convergence of user-oriented physical activity space and virtual space of electronics and computing and also provides services according to change in surrounding environment at anytime and anywhere. The U-Greenhouse system is to apply USN to agricultural production, logistics and distribution management which are relatively insufficient to utilize IT technology. Thus, applying u-IT technology to agriculture can reinforces international competitiveness of the agricultural sector through the effects such as cost cutting as a rise in output, logistics and distribution management.

Node of USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) environments uses radio based communication mechanism for a delivering message. Thus the multiple hop flooding is necessary for considering limited power and communicating unknown node long-range. However if there are many unknown nodes located in users' vision, the flooding of the radio base is insufficient alternative. Thus as a flash may be used to find a key in a darkness, a more direct and short range communication system is required. This study shall resolve such question through 2 different steps. First a Two kind of code method that convert Text message to color code shall be suggested. Second a hardware module, which may deliver various LED(light-emitting diode) color signal, shall be developed. The experiment may take place by fixing the entry angle of light and distance by setting a specific element as a standard mean.

Conventional sensor node operating systems do not support sensor abstraction for sensor applications. So, application programmers have to take charge of developing the hardware and the device drivers for the applications by themselves. In this paper, we present an as architecture to support sensor abstraction. The as provide not only application programmers with API library to access sensor devices, but also sensor developers with HAL library to access sensor hardware. This can reduce the development burden of application programmers significantly. In this paper, at first, we define the sensor HW interface to ease the attachment of sensors. Second, we describe the sensor access API for application programmers. Third, we define the HAL library for sensor device programmers to use. Finally, we show that the as can support sensor abstraction by illustrating the sample programs.

With advances in sensor technology, current researches on the pertinent techniques are actively directed toward the way which enables the USN computing service. For many applications using sensor networks, the incoming data are by nature characterized as high-speed, continuous, real-time and infinite. Due to such uniqueness of sensor data characteristics, for some instances a finite-sized buffer may not accommodate the entire incoming data, which leads to inevitable loss of data, and requirement for fast processing makes it impossible to conduct a thorough investigation of data. In addition to the potential problem of loss of data, incoming data in its raw form may exhibit high degree of complexity which evades simple query or alerting services for capturing and extracting useful information. Furthermore, as traditional mining techniques are developed to handle fixed, static historical data, they are not useful and directly applicable for analyzing the sensor data. In this paper, (1) describe how three mining techniques (sensor data outlier analysis, sensor pattern analysis, and sensor data prediction analysis) are appropriate for the USN middleware structure, with their application to the stream data in ocean environment. (2) Another proposal is a middleware structure based on USN environment adaptive to above mining techniques. This middleware structure includes sensor nodes, sensor network common interface, sensor data processor, sensor query processor, database, sensor data mining engine, user interface and so on.

In this paper we design and implement a sensor network management framework(SNMF) for ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs). The SNMF employs the policy-based management approach for the autonomous and energy-efficient management of USNs. Moreover, a new light-weight policy distribution protocol called TinyCOPS-PR is designed and USN PIB for low-level policy is also defined. This allows the high-level policies defined by an administrator to translate into the specific low-level policies. The low-level policies are executed on sensor nodes so it can fulfill the proper management actions. The sensor nodes that receive some policies from an administrator perform local management actions according to those policies. SNMF can therefore realize small energy consumption and bring long network lifetime. It can also manage USNs automatically with a minimum of human interference.

According to Korean Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs, total national SOC(Social Overhead Capital) stock comes up to 500 billion dollars. Until now, although the construction of SOC is more important than the maintenance of them in Korea, it is necessary to introduce of valuation based total asset management concept in nowadays. In this paper describes problems of exsiting data collection method, needs of Information Technology and introduction of RFID/USN(Radio Frequency IDentification/Ubiquitous Sensor Network) in data collection stage.

Security is critically important for ubiquitous sensor networks that are usually used for the military and serveillance in environments that are opened to attacks, such as, eavesdroping, replay attacks of abnormal messages, forgery of the messages to name a few. ZigBee has emerged as a strong contender for ubiquitous sensor networks. ZigBee is used for low data rate and low power wireless sensor network applications. To deploy ubiquitous sensor networks, the collected information requires protection from an adversary over the network in many cases. The security mechanism should be provided for collecting the information over the network. However, the ZigBee protocol has some security weaknesses. In this paper, these weaknesses are discussed and a method to improve security aspect of the ZigBee protocol is presented along with a comparison of the message complexity of the proposed security protocol with that of the current ZigBee protocol.
