Currently various techniques for efficiently developing sensor network applications are developed. However, these techniques provide the method for developing only single sensor network application easily and rapidly. Since sensor network applications control various sensor nodes based on core components of operating system, the technique to develop applications by defining common functionalities of various applications and selecting variable functionalities according to the work flow of specific application is efficient. Accordingly, this paper presents an experimental study that identifies commonality of sensor network application domain and supports optional development according to the variability of application by applying product line approach to developing sensor network application. Through the experimental study, we describe the characteristics of sensor network application domain compared with general business domain for product line development. Also, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach by presenting that core assets designed using the proposed variability feature model and VEADL are reused according to the functionalities of each sensor node.

Context-aware is the core in ubiquitous environment of sensor network to support intelligent and contextual adaptation service. The new context information model is demanded to support context-aware applications. The model should not depend on a specified application and be shareable between applications in the same environment. Also, it should support various context representation and complex context-aware. In this paper, we define the context information according to context-aware process. Also we design the knowledge of domain as well as applications using ontologies and rules. The domain spatial ontology and application knowledge are represented using the spatial object model and the rules of expanded ontologies, respectively. The expression of abundant spatial ontology represents the context information about distance between objects and adjacent object as well as the location of the object. The proposed context information model which is able to exhibit various spatial context and recognizes complex spatial context through the existing GIS. This model shows that it can adapt to a large scale outdoor context-aware applications such as air pollution and prevention of disasters as well as various context-aware applications.

Quantum dots (QDs) are considered as excellent color conversion and self-emitting materials for display and lighting applications. In this article, various technologies which can be used to realize white light emission with QDs are discussed. QDs have good color purity with a narrow emission spectrum and tunable optical properties with size control capabilities. For white light emission with a color-conversion approach, QDs are combined with blue-emitting inorganic and organic light-emitting diodes (LED) to generate white emission with high energy conversion efficiency and a high color rendering index for various display and lighting applications. Various device structures for self-emitting white QD light-emitting diodes (QD-LED) are also reviewed. Various stacking and patterning technologies are discussed in relation to QD-LED devices.

Well organized and easy usable Grid management system is very important for executing various Grid applications and managing Grid computing environment. Moreover, information system which can support Grid management system by providing various Grid environment related information is also one of the most interesting issue in the Grid middleware system area. Effective cooperation between Grid management system and information system can make a novel Grid middleware system. Especially, service oriented architecture based Grid management system is flexible and extensible for providing various type of Grid services. Also, information system based on data mining process which comprises various different kinds of domains such as users, resources and applications can make Grid management system more precise and efficient. In this paper, we propose semantic Grid middleware system which is a combination of Grid management system and semantic information system.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have a number of interesting applications to preserve road safety, notify users about changed road/traffic condition, handling post accident hazards and moreover service oriented applications to make the travel convenient to the drivers. Use of common information format for diverse applications enables the application developers to easily design flexible information dissemination system for new applications or add new features to existing application. This paper introduces a common information format for various applications in VANETs. The main goal of the paper is to design generalized distributed architectures for vehicular networks, which considers diverse application development scenarios and uses common information format. The proposed architectures enable the application developers to flexibly disseminate information to affected or interested user. In this paper, we have given a detail description of each component of the architectures and how they communicate with each other. In future, we will implement the proposed architecture using suitable simulator.

Various biomaterials have been widely used for biomedical applications, including bio-organs, medical devices, and clinical devices like vessel, blood pumps, artificial kidneys and hearts, even in contact with blood. The issue of blood compatibility has been studied intensively to prevent negative effects such as thrombosis due to the implanted devices. The use of lotus-leaf-like structured surfaces has been extended to an increasing number of applications such as contamination prevention and anticorrosion applications. Various methods such as template, sol-gel transition, layer-by-layer, and other methods, developed for the fabrication of lotus-leaf-like surfaces have been reported for major industrial applications. Recently, the non-wettable character of these surfaces has been shown to be useful for biomedical applications ranging from blood-vessel replacement to antibacterial surface treatment. In this review, we provide a summary of current and future research efforts and opportunities in the development and medical applications of lotus-leaf-like structure surfaces.

The research on microbial fuel cells (MFCs) needs various knowledge of different fields such as electrochemistry, microbiology, environmental engineering, and material engineering. Although electrochemically active bacteria are very diverse, the performance of MFCs is affected primarily by the structure of the reactor system. Thus, the development in the system architecture is critical to lower internal resistance and increase power generation for commercialization. This paper summarizes the principles of MFCs and demonstrates the infinite potential of MFCs in various applications including wastewater treatment, biosensors, biohydrogen production, remote power sources, implantable medical devices, etc.
