In this paper, we introduce ETRI AI Strategy #3, "Leading Future Technologies of Network, Media, and Content." Its first goal is "to innovate AI service technology to overcome the current limitations of AI technologies." Artificial intelligence (AI) services, such as self-driving cars and robots, are combinations of computing, network, AI algorithms, and other technologies. To develop AI services, we need to develop different types of network, media coding, and content creation technologies. Moreover, AI technologies are adopted in ICT technologies. Self-planning and self-managing networks and automatic content creation technologies using AI are being developed. This paper introduces the two directions of ETRI's ICT technology development plan for AI: ICT for AI and ICT by AI. The area of ICT for AI has only recently begun to develop. ETRI, the ICT leader, hopes to have opportunities for leadership in the second wave of AI services.

Due to various ICT Technology innovations and Digital Transformation, the Internet of Things(IoT) environment is increasingly requiring intelligence, decentralization, and automated service, especially an advanced and stable smart service environment in the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT) where communication network(5G), data analysis and artificial intelligence(AI), and digital twin technology are combined. In this study, we propose IIoT Edge middleware systems for flexible interface with heterogeneous devices such as facilities and sensors at various industrial sites and for quick and stable data collection and processing.

Recently, safety issues in companies and public institutions are no longer a task that can be postponed, and when a major safety accident occurs, not only direct financial loss, but also indirect loss of social trust in the company and public institution is greatly increased. In particular, in the case of a fatal accident, the damage is even more serious. Accordingly, as companies and public institutions expand their investments in industrial safety education and prevention, open AI learning model creation technology that enables safety management services without being affected by user behavior in industrial sites where high-risk situations exist, edge terminals System development using inter-AI collaboration technology, cloud-edge terminal linkage technology, multi-modal risk situation determination technology, and AI model learning support technology is underway. In particular, with the development and spread of artificial intelligence technology, research to apply the technology to safety issues is becoming active. Therefore, in this paper, an open cloud platform design method that can support AI model learning for high-risk site safety management is presented.

최근 미디어, 금융 등 다양한 분야의 기업들이 AI를 활용해 제공하는 서비스가 늘어남에 따라 학습된 모델을 엣지 자원에 배포하여 기능을 제공하는 서비스형태 또한 늘어나고 있다. AI-Application이 동작하기 위해서는 AI-Model 파일뿐 아니라 동작을 위한 설정 파일들이 필요하여 AI-Application이 사용 중인 AI-Model의 정보를 수집, 관리하는 것은 중요한 이슈라고 할 수 있다. 하지만 단일 서비스서버에서 동작하는 형태가 아닌 각 자원이 산재되어 다양한 형태로 서비스를 제공하는 엣지컴퓨팅의 구조적인 특성상 AI-Application의 기존 서비스구조, 기능을 수정하지 않고 정보를 수집하는 과정은 다양한 문제에 부딪치게 된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 기존 서비스구조를 변경하지 않고 독립적으로 AI-Application에서 사용중인 AI-Model의 정보를 파악하고, 사용자 요청에 대응할 수 있는 관리구조를 제안한다.

With significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, many novel algorithms and technologies have emerged. Currently, AI painting can generate high-quality images based on textual descriptions. However, it is often challenging to control details when generating images, even with complex textual inputs. Therefore, there is a need to implement additional control mechanisms beyond textual descriptions. Based on ControlNet, this passage describes a combined utilization of various local controls (such as edge maps and depth maps) and global control within a single model. It provides a comprehensive exposition of the fundamental concepts of ControlNet, elucidating its theoretical foundation and relevant technological features. Furthermore, combining methods and applications, understanding the technical characteristics involves analyzing distinct advantages and image differences. This further explores insights into the development of image generation patterns.

Various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) have become of significant interest to academia and industry in recent times. To satisfy these academic and industrial interests, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate trends in AI-related changes of diverse areas. In this study, we identified and predicted emerging convergences with the help of AI-associated research abstracts collected from the SCOPUS database. The bidirectional encoder representations obtained via the transformers-based topic discovery technique were subsequently deployed to identify emerging topics related to AI. The topics discovered concern edge computing, biomedical algorithms, predictive defect maintenance, medical applications, fake news detection with block chain, explainable AI and COVID-19 applications. Their convergences were further analyzed based on the shortest path between topics to predict emerging convergences. Our findings indicated emerging AI convergences towards healthcare, manufacturing, legal applications, and marketing. These findings are expected to have policy implications for facilitating the convergences in diverse industries. Potentially, this study could contribute to the exploitation and adoption of AI-enabled convergences from a practical perspective.

This paper introduces an edge AI-based scene-specific object detection system for long-term traffic management, focusing on analyzing congestion and movement via cameras. It aims to balance fast processing and accuracy in traffic flow data analysis using edge computing. We adapt the YOLOv5 model, with four heads, to a scene-specific model that utilizes the fixed camera's scene-specific properties. This model selectively detects objects based on scale by blocking nodes, ensuring only objects of certain sizes are identified. A decision module then selects the most suitable object detector for each scene, enhancing inference speed without significant accuracy loss, as demonstrated in our experiments.

AI 시스템은 우리 생활 전반에서 다양한 예측을 도와주는 장치로써 그 중요성이 크다. AI 시스템의 활용도는 AI 장치가 얼마나 우리 생활 전반에 다각도로 이용되어야 하는지에 달려있다. 현재 AI 시스템은 높은 정확도를 위해 학습과 추론에 고성능 컴퓨팅 장비를 필요로 한다. 고성능 장치를 우리 생활 저변에서 쉽게 설치하고 사용할 수 없기 때문에, AI 시스템을 우리 생활에 사용하기 위해서 크게 두 가지의 접근법을 사용하고 있다. 첫째, 고성능 네트워크와 고성능 컴퓨팅 서버를 사용하여 end-user 장치의 계산 복잡도를 최소화하는 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 둘째, AI 시스템의 학습 및 추론 효율성을 높여, 서버와 네트워크 없이도 end-user 장치에서 최선의 성능을 내는 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 첫번째 접근법은 고성능 네트워크의 발전을 수반하고, 네트워크의 항상성을 전제로 하기 때문에, 실현하는데 많은 시간과 자원이 요구된다. 두번째 접근법은 비용-효율적이긴 하나 첫번째 접근법에 비해 AI 시스템의 성능이 다소 떨어질 수 있다. 이 글에서는 두번째 접근법의 AI 시스템, 특히 시각 인식 시스템을 응용으로 하는 기술들을 살펴보도록 하겠다.

This paper is a method for efficient traffic prediction in mobile edge computing, where many studies have recently been conducted. For distributed processing in mobile edge computing, tasks offloading from each mobile edge must be processed within the limited computing power of the edge. As a result, in the mobile nodes, it is necessary to efficiently select the surrounding edge server in consideration of performance dynamically. This paper aims to suggest the efficient clustering method by selecting edges in a cloud environment and predicting mobile traffic. Then, our dynamic clustering method is to reduce offloading overload to the edge server when offloading required by mobile terminals affects the performance of the edge server compared with the existing offloading schemes.

Edge Computing is used as a solution to the cost problem and transmission delay problem caused by network bandwidth consumption that occurs when IoT/CPS devices are integrated into the cloud by performing artificial intelligence (AI) in an environment close to the data source. Since edge computing runs on devices that provide high-performance computation and network connectivity located in the real world, it is necessary to consider application integrity so that it is not exploited by cyber terrorism that can cause human and material damage. In this paper, we propose a technique to protect the integrity of edge computing applications implemented in a script language that is vulnerable to tampering, such as Python, which is used for implementing artificial intelligence, as container images and then digitally signed. The proposed method is based on the integrity protection technology (Docker Contents Trust) provided by the open source container technology. The Docker Client was modified and used to utilize the whitelist for container signature information so that only containers allowed on edge computing devices can be operated.
