A continuous object is large phenomenon diffusing continuously. Therefore, a large number of sources is a major problem in researches for continuous object. Existing studies for continuous object detecting focus on reducing communication cost generated by the sources. But, they only deal with the static sink located in fixed position. In this paper, we propose the location update scheme for mobile sinks in continuous object detecting. Generally, to receive data, a mobile sink should notice its current location to sources. Previous studies for location update of mobile sinks consider individual object. So they need a lot of energy for location update when a mobile sink notices its current location toward many sources of a continuous object independently. Proposed scheme exploits regional locality of the sources involved one continuous object. The regional locality makes the location update of mobile sinks efficient. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme superior to existing schemes in terms of energy efficiency.

To understand the status of the migrating Oriental Honey Buzzard(Pernis ptilorhynchus) in Korea, we carried out a preliminary study on the number and local movements of the Honey Buzzard from September 2005 to October 2007 at Hongdo Island, Jeonnam Province, Korea. A total of 702 Honey Buzzards in 2005, 404 individuals in 2006, and 659 individuals in 2007 were recorded during the fall migration season, but during the spring migration season only two and eight birds were observed in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The migrating Honey Buzzard showed peak numbers from 20 September to 5 October at the study site. According to observation of arrival time of538 Honey Buzzard in October 2007, a total of 2l6 birds(40.l %) were passing over Hongdo Island between 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, rising skyward on columns of warm air. This suggests the use of thermal currents and avoidance of nocturnal movement for crossing water. They preferred moderate winds(<5 m/s in speed) from northwest, but the migrating number apparently decreased in case of strong winds (${\geqq}5 m/s$). This suggests that wind speed and direction are important environmental factors for migration of the Oriental Honey Buzzard. At present, it is unclear which breeding population(from north-eastern China or Japan) passes over Hongdo Island. Moreover, it is difficult to prove migration route and to understand migratory behaviors of the Oriental Honey Buzzard in Korea. To prove the breeding sites and routes of the migrants over the study site, we need more detailed and further studies such as satellite tracking researches.

To study reproductive dynamics of a Gold-spotted pond frog (Rana chosenica) population located at Gangnae, Cheongwon, Chungbuk, Korea, we monitored the population over 207 days between April 17$^{th}$ 2007 and December 18$^{th}$ 2008 using a drift fence accompanied with 20 pitfall traps. The population was located in an agricultural wetland, compromising three small ponds. Gold-spotted pond frogs immigrated into the wetland between April 16$^{th}$ and June 17$^{th}$ and emigrated from the wetland between September 21$^{st}$ and November 12$^{th}$. Precipitation showed a positive correlation with the number of migrated frogs in Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008, but other environmental factors such as air and water temperatures and relative humidity did not show any significant relationships. In general, small frogs first migrated into and from the wetland, but the trend was not strong. Female gold-spotted pond frogs were bigger than males. During the autumn migration, small frogs of which snout-vent length was smaller than 20 mm were found, indicating that successful breeding occurred in the population. Our results could be useful to conserve this endangered species in Korea.

Visual monitoring is hard to apply on fish because they are living in a water system. To overcome this problem, acoustic telemetry, which is effective for underwater monitoring, is often used for studying fish behaviors, such as movement distance, route and patterns. In this study, in order to monitor the movement pattern of Squaliobarbus curriculus (family Cyprinidae), we used acoustic telemetry and identified the home range and movement distances. A total of nine individuals were released at two different locations: one is at the estuary barrage (Sc1~3) and the other is at the lower part of Baekjae Weir (Sc4~9), located in Geum River. Approximately, a 70 km section from the estuary barrage was investigated. Fish, which were released at the estuary barrage, utilized up to 12.7 km upstream as home range from the release site. At the lower part of Baekjae Weir, most of the fish moved and stayed within a 7.2 km downstream area, except for Sc6, which moved 53.4 km (linear maximum distance from release site) downstream from the release site. Relatively small sized fish (Sc7~9) did not show any movement. Accumulated movement distance significantly correlated with the standard length of S. curriculus ($r_s$=0.715, p=0.03). Moreover, the standard length of moving fish was significantly larger than that of not moving fish (Mann-Whitney U test, p=0.024). Therefore, the movement distance of S. curriculus has been correlated with fish size; movement distance was increased with the standard fish length. Although the sample size of monitored fish was small, various meaningful data were collected by acoustic telemetry. Consequently, this technique could be a method available for effectively monitoring the behavior and ecology of native Korean and endemic species.

In industrial wireless sensor networks, the continuous object detection such as fire or toxic gas detection is one of major applications. A continuous object occurs at a specific point and then diffuses over a wide area. Therefore, many studies have focused on accurately detecting a continuous object and delivering data to a static sink with an energy-efficient way. Recently, some applications such as fire suppression require mobile sinks to provide real-time response. However, the sink mobility support in continuous object detection brings challenging issues. The existing approaches supporting sink mobility are designed for individual object detection, so they establish one-to-one communication between a source and a mobile sink for location update. But these approaches are not appropriate for a continuous object detection since a mobile sink should establish one-to-many communication with all sources. The one-to-many communication increases energy consumption and thus shortens the network lifetime. In this paper, we propose the origin-centric communication scheme to support sink mobility in a continuous object detection. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme surpasses all the other work in terms of energy consumption.

Q-학습은 최근에 연구되는 강화학습으로서 환경에 대한 정의가 필요 없어 자율이동로봇의 행동학습에 적합한 방법이다. 그러나 다개체 시스템의 학습처럼 환경이 복잡해짐에 따라 개체의 입출력 변수는 늘어나게 되고 Q함수의 계산량은 기하급수적으로 증가하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다개체 시스템의 Q-학습에 적합한 연속적인 Q-학습 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 연속적인 Q-학습 알고리즘은 개체가 가질 수 있는 모든 상태-행동 쌍을 하나의 Q함수에 표현하는 방법으로서 계산량 및 복잡성을 줄임으로써 동적으로 변하는 환경에 능동적으로 대처하도록 하였다. 제안한 연속적인 Q-학습 알고리즘을 벽으로 막힌 공간에서 두 포식자와 한 먹이로 구성되는 먹이-포식자 문제에 적용하여 먹이개체의 효율적인 회피능력을 검증하였다.

전형적인 무선 센서망은 센서들과 싱크로 구성된다. 그리고 사용자는 싱크로부터 원하는 정보를 요구 혹은 획득한다. 그 개체들은 무선 센서 망에서 이동성 환경을 각각 독립적으로 제공할 수 있다. 그에 비해, 기존 연구들은 센서 노드, 싱크, 그리고 이벤트 이동성만을 고려한다. 그러나, 또 하나의 이동성을 제공하는 가능한 개체로서 정보 요구자(사용자)가 있다. 정보 요구자 노드는 센서 망 내부에서 이동하면서 싱크에게 원하는 정보를 요구할 수 있다. 본 논문은 기존에 제안된 이동성 모델들을 분석하고, 새로운 이동성 모델인 정보 요구자 이동성 모델을 제안한다.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly group mobility behavior in the mix of group moving nodes and individually moving nodes. The nodes of those applications tend to belong to the movement group with similar movement behavior. Group mobility is one of the good methods to improve scalability, and reduces the protocol overhead. In this paper, we propose the multicast architecture which regards nodes that have equal group mobility in the heterogeneous group mobility network as the single entity with the multiple interfaces and composes multicast tree, The logical cooperative entity-based multicast architecture accommodates the scalability, the multicast tree simplification, and the protocol overhead reduction which arc obtained from the hierarchical multicast architecture, while it maintains the nat multicast architecture for the data transmission. It also prevents the concentration of the energy consumption dispersing data forwarding load into the several ingress/egress nodes. Results obtained through simulations show that logical cooperative entity based multicast protocol with multiple interfaces offers the protocol scalability and the efficient data transmission.

This paper proposes a bacteria cooperative optimization (BCO) method applying individuals's speed for the performance improvements. All individuals in existing BCO methods move the same length at the same time because their speeds are constant. These methods had the problem that the individuals couldn't find the global optimum effectively because good individuals and bad individuals had same speeds. In order to overcome this problem, we applied the speed concept to the BCO algorithm that individuals moved different lengths according to their speeds assigned by the ranks of individuals according to the fitness of individuals. That is to say, we provide high speeds to bad individuals with low fitness in order to fast move to the areas with high fitness and provide low speeds to good individuals with high fitness because they may be near global optimum. It was found from experimental results of four function optimization problems that the proposed method outperformed the existing methods. Our method showed better performances even than the rank replacement method. This means that applying speed concepts to the individuals for BCO is very effective and efficient.
