High availability is of utmost importance in real-time embedded systems. Temporary failures due to software or hardware faults should not result in a system crash. To achieve high availability, embedded systems typically use a combination of hardware and software techniques. A watchdog timer is a hardware component in embedded microprocessors that can be used to automatically reset the processor if software anomalies are detected. The embedded system relies on a single watchdog timer, however, can be permanently disabled if the timer is not properly configured, e.g. falling into an indefinite loop. STM32F4 provides two different types of watchdog timer in terms of timing accuracy and robustness. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach, called long-tail watchdog timer, to utilize both timers to achieve self-reliance in embedded systems even though one of timers fails. Experimental results confirm that the proposed approach successfully handles various failure scenarios and present performance comparisons between single watchdog timer and hybrid approach in terms of configuration parameters of watchdog timers in STM32F4, counter value and window size.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to formulate a plan to cope with tourists' rights which can occur in tourist attraction place and anywhere for tourist activities and to seek a plan for introducing a watchdog system for tourists' civil complaints. Design/methodology/approach - To perform this purpose, this article will discuss a research review of the scope of tourist activities in terms of space and place perspectives and compare them to the watchdog and ombudsman concepts. And the study analyses and look at the suggestion about Tourism complains center and the Tourism policy system of procedure function and role critically. Findings - The Watchdog system is a routine activity in which citizen monitoring activities are developed in the form of a system and share inconvenience and anxiety detected in time and space in the expanding range of entertainment, leisure, and sports tourism activities. The resulting accident rate can be reduced, the administrative and private businesses can be resolved, and the cost of handling can be solved. Research implications or Originality - The social contribution of Watchdog can be systematically expanded and resolved at various sites by securing public trust in the country threats in daily places preventing risks securing continuous safety management of related facilities and other industries

This study examines how the watchdog concert in journalism field has been created and develope4 Related studies found that the watchdog is related not so muck with free press theory as with a privilege awarded to the press because the press serves for the public interests. It was found that in the U.S., the watchdog concept was derived from the a lot of libel cases in the late 1890s. At the time, the newspaper owners and editors continuously claimed the very protection over vulnerability of newspaper's collecting, reporting, and printing news. While, in Korea, the concept of watchdog emerged in the late 1990s after the establishment of the Constitution Court. Even though the watchdog concert was accepted very late by the Korean courts, it is believed to be a kind of special privilege to prevent the press from being recklessly regulated in libel cases. Rather, the Korean courts expand the extent of the role of the press as a watchdog by deciding that not only the public officials and politicians but also other socially influential public figures could be included in the criticism from the press. However, how these court decisions can be practically implemented depends upon how the court apply the probability of the press to believe the news true and intention of malice in writing and publishing the stories.

Many impact or drop test researches of home appliances are published, but those of toys cannot be found easily. External impacts are the primary causes of fracture of toys. For impact proof design, the finished product should pass an impact test after molding design. There are several international toy safety standards or requirements such as US CPSC(Consumer Product Safety Commission), ASTM F963-96a, EN71 and so on. The puppy robot which patrols around the house, namely, the watchdog was selected to investigate toy safety because it has considerable weight and outer panels are made of plastics. First the model of watchdog robot was obtained by 3 dimensional scan. Surface data can be generated from 3D polygon data of the watchdog. A reliable drop simulation method for the watchdog was established using Pam-crash program according to Korean toy safety standards. When there is a low impact allowance value, the molding design should be reinforced or changed. It was found that the maximum impact stress reaches the ultimate stress of panel material.

As the participation of blockchain increases, governance to maintain the ecosystem is being activated. Governance must be managed/supervised to maintain and improve the blockchain. However, as the usage of blockchain increases, there is a limit for people to manage it individually. In addition, smart contracts applied from Ethereum need to be verified for trade that are determined according to status values, as new trade types are possible. This research proposes a surveillance system, Blockchain Watchdog, based on the state monitoring of the blockchain smart contract as a tool for maintaining and developing the blockchain ecosystem of governance, and implemented and tested the surveillance system. As a case study, we conducted experiments on Ropsten and Ganache, and were able to see real-time information collection and visualization using dashboards, graphs, and charts. We expect to contribute to the maintenance and development of the ecosystem of blockchain governance through Blockchain Watchdog.

This study compares blogs of professional reporters with those of citizen reporters in terms of watchdog and interactivity functions. Watchdog function was analyzed in light of the extent of soft news and the degree of critical relationship with the government. Interactivity was assessed by analyzing readers' comments on the articles of reporter blogs. for citizen journalism and for professional one were chosen in order to minimize any discrepancies caused by ideological differences. As a result of the content analyses, citizen reporter blogs were found to deliver soft news more frequently than those of , whereas the former had stronger tendency to maintain the critical relationship with the government than the latter. As for the interactivity function, although the number of comments uploaded to citizen reporter blogs was higher than that of professional reporter blogs, the latter was found to meet the standards of communicative interaction more adequately than the former.

We address the problem of effective vehicular routing in hostile scenarios where malicious nodes intend to jeopardize the delivery of messages. Compromised vehicles can severely affect the performance of the network by a number of attacks, such as selectively dropping messages, manipulating them on the fly, and the likes. One of the best performing solutions that has been used in static wireless sensor networks to deal with these attacks is based on the concept of watchdog nodes (also known as guard nodes) that collaborate to continue the forwarding of data packets in case a malicious behavior in a neighbor node is detected. In this work, we consider the beacon-less routing algorithm for vehicular environments routing protocol, which has been previously shown to perform very well in vehicular networks, and analyze whether a similar solution would be feasible for vehicular environments. Our simulation results in an urban scenario show that watchdog nodes are able to avoid up to a 50% of packet drops across different network densities and for different number of attackers, without introducing a significant increase in terms of control overhead. However, the overall performance of the routing protocol is still far from optimal. Thus, in the case of vehicular networks, watchdog nodes alone are not able to completely alleviate these security threats.
