  • 컨텐츠 및 프라이버시 보호는 최근 보급되기 시작한 네트워크 기반 비디오 감시 시스템의 주요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 특히, 배터리로 동작하는 임베디드 시스템 기반의 비디오 센서가 압축 및 암호화 과정을 실시간으로 처리해야 하는 환경에서 실시간 요구사항과 에너지 효율성을 동시에 만족시키는 것은 쉽지 않은 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 감시 데이터를 압축 및 암호화하는 멀티코어 기반 솔루션을 제안하고, 제안 방법의 효율성을 실시간 처리와 에너지 소비 관점에서 평가한다. MPEG2/AES를 이용한 실험 결과, 실시간을 만족하는 범위 내에서 멀티코어 기반의 제안 방법이 통상적인 싱글코어 기반의 방법에 비하여 최대 30배까지 에너지 효율성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Background: A nondestructive test is commonly used to inspect the surface defects and internal structure of an object without any physical damage. X-rays generated from an electron accelerator or a tube are one of the methods used for nondestructive testing. The high penetration of X-rays through materials with low atomic numbers makes it difficult to discriminate between these materials using X-ray imaging. The interaction characteristics of neutrons with materials can supplement the limitations of X-ray imaging in material discrimination. Materials and Methods: The radiation image acquisition process for air-cargo security inspection equipment using X-rays and neutrons was simulated using a GEometry ANd Tracking (Geant4) simulation toolkit. Radiation images of phantoms composed of 13 materials were obtained, and the R-value, representing the attenuation ratio of neutrons and gamma rays in a material, was calculated from these images. Results and Discussion: The R-values were calculated from the simulated X-ray and neutron images for each phantom and compared with those obtained in the experiments. The R-values obtained from the experiments were higher than those obtained from the simulations. The difference can be due to the following two causes. The first reason is that there are various facilities or equipment in the experimental environment that scatter neutrons, unlike the simulation. The other is the difference in the neutron signal processing. In the simulation, the neutron signal is the sum of the number of neutrons entering the detector. However, in the experiment, the neutron signal was obtained by superimposing the intensities of the neutron signals. Neutron detectors also detect gamma rays, and the neutron signal cannot be clearly distinguished in the process of separating the two types of radiation. Despite these differences, the two results showed similar trends and the viability of using simulation-based radiation images, particularly in the field of security screening. With further research, the simulation-based radiation images can replace ones from experiments and be used in the related fields. Conclusion: The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed air-cargo security inspection equipment using neutrons and X-rays. Using this equipment, radiation images and R-values for various materials were obtained. The equipment was reconstructed, and the R-values were obtained for 13 materials using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The R-values calculated by experiment and simulation show similar trends. Therefore, we confirmed the feasibility of using the simulation-based radiation image.

  • Recently, various efforts for the extended utilization of woody biomass has been attempted due to the fact that global warming, energy and environmental problems are urgent ones to be solved. Development of new energy sources at our national security level is desperately needed as we depend on almost all of energies supplied from other countries, let alone the economic crisis caused by oil price hike. Woody biomass can be converted to energy by means of thermochemical, biological, or direct combustion processes. Many processes are available for producing bioenergy, such as bioethanol, wood pellet, wood chip, combined heat, and power system. Political support and R&D investment should be provided that can boost the utilization of the wood biomass, the eco-environment, and recyclable and alternative energy resources for national power security. In addition, a long-term strategy that can utilize unused and low efficient woody biomass resources, and systematically collect and manage them in a national level should be set up. Even though the possibility in total exchange of fossil oil with woody biomass is quite low, technology developments of woody biomass for the solution to global warming and environmental problem through its commercialization are expected to grow steadily.

  • 최근 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN : Wireless Sensor Network)에서 센서노드의 에너지 소모 균등성과 효율성을 향상시켜 전제 네트워크의 수명을 최대화하기 위한 다양한 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜들이 제안되고 있다. 특히, 멀티홉기법이 향상된 에너지 효율성과 실제 적용 가능한 모델로 큰 각광받고 있다. 멀티-홉 기법에서는 센서 노드사이 거리에 따라 발송 에너지 능동조절 가능하다고 가정한다. 그러나 무선센서의 물리적 특성을 고려해보면 멀티-홉 기법의 이 가정은 현재 기술로 실제 실현하기 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 센서노드의 전파범위를 기반으로 에너지 효율성을 향상시킨 저 전력 클러스터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안기법은 에너지 효율적이고 기존기법보다 실제 무선센서네트워크에 적용하기 용이하다.

  • The interconnection of an enormous number of devices into the Internet at a massive scale is a consequence of the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, tasks offloading from these IoT devices to remote cloud data centers become expensive and inefficient as their number and amount of its emitted data increase exponentially. It is also a challenge to optimize IoT device energy consumption while meeting its application time deadline and data delivery constraints. Consequently, Fog Computing was proposed to support efficient IoT tasks processing as it has a feature of lower service delay, being adjacent to IoT nodes. However, cloud task offloading is still performed frequently as Fog computing has less resources compared to remote cloud. Thus, optimized schemes are required to correctly characterize and distribute IoT devices tasks offloading in a hybrid IoT, Fog, and cloud paradigm. In this paper, we present a detailed survey and classification of of recently published research articles that address the energy efficiency of task offloading schemes in IoT-Fog-Cloud paradigm. Moreover, we also developed a taxonomy for the classification of these schemes and provided a comparative study of different schemes: by identifying achieved advantage and disadvantage of each scheme, as well its related drawbacks and limitations. Moreover, we also state open research issues in the development of energy efficient, scalable, optimized task offloading schemes for Fog computing.

  • Technology is progressing with every passing day and the enormous usage of electricity is becoming a necessity. One of the techniques to enjoy the assistances in a smart home is the efficiency to manage the electric energy. When electric energy is managed in an appropriate way, it drastically saves sufficient power even to be spent during hard time as when hit by natural calamities. To accomplish this, prediction of energy consumption plays a very important role. This proposed prediction model Coherent Weighted K-Means Clustering ARIMA (CWKMCA) enhances the weighted k-means clustering technique by adding weights to the cluster points. Forecasting is done using the ARIMA model based on the centroid of the clusters produced. The dataset for this proposed work is taken from the Pecan Project in Texas, USA. The level of accuracy of this model is compared with the traditional ARIMA model and the Weighted K-Means Clustering ARIMA Model. When predicting,errors such as RMSE, MAPE, AIC and AICC are analysed, the results of this suggested work reveal lower values than the ARIMA and Weighted K-Means Clustering ARIMA models. This model also has a greater loglikelihood, demonstrating that this model outperforms the ARIMA model for time series forecasting.

  • Resource allocation is one of the top challenges in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This is due to the scarcity of computing, energy and communication resources in IoT devices. As a result, IoT devices that are not using efficient algorithms for resource allocation may cause applications to fail and devices to get shut down. Owing to this challenge, this paper proposes a novel algorithm for managing computing resources in IoT network. The fog computing devices are placed near the network edge and IoT devices send their large tasks to them for computing. The goal of the algorithm is to conserve energy of both IoT nodes and the fog nodes such that all tasks are computed within a deadline. A bi-partite graph-based algorithm is proposed for stable matching of tasks and fog node computing units. The output of the algorithm is a stable mapping between the IoT tasks and fog computing units. Simulation results are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm which proves the improvement in terms of energy efficiency and task delay.
