Surveillance has become one of promising application areas of wireless sensor networks which allow for pervasive monitoring of concerned environmental phenomena by facilitating context awareness through sensor fusion. Existing systems that depend on a postmortem context analysis of sensor data on a centralized server expose several shortcomings, including a single point of failure, wasteful energy consumption due to unnecessary data transfer as well as deficiency of scalability. As an opposite direction, this paper proposes an energy-efficient distributed context-aware surveillance in which sensor nodes in the wireless sensor network collaborate with neighbors in a distributed manner to analyze and aware surrounding context. We design and implement multi-modal sensor stations for use as sensor nodes in our wireless sensor network implementing our distributed context awareness. This paper presents an initial experimental performance result of our proposed system. Results show that multi-modal sensor performance of our sensor station, a key enabling factor for distributed context awareness, is comparable to each independent sensor setting. They also show that its initial performance of context-awareness is satisfactory for a set of introductory surveillance scenarios in the current interim stage of our ongoing research.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have many potential applications and unique challenges. Some problems of WSNs are: severe resources' constraints, low reliability and fault tolerant, low throughput, low scalability, low Quality of Service (QoS) and insecure operational environments. One significant solution against mentioned problems is hierarchical and clustering-based multipath routing. But, existent algorithms have many weaknesses such as: high overhead, security vulnerabilities, address-centric, low-scalability, permanent usage of optimal paths and severe resources' consumption. As a result, this paper is proposed an energy-aware, congestion-aware, location-based, data-centric, scalable, hierarchical and clustering-based multipath routing algorithm based on Numerical Taxonomy technique for homogenous WSNs. Finally, performance of the proposed algorithm has been compared with performance of LEACH routing algorithm; results of simulations and statistical-mathematical analysis are showing the proposed algorithm has been improved in terms of parameters like balanced resources' consumption such as energy and bandwidth, throughput, reliability and fault tolerant, accuracy, QoS such as average rate of packet delivery and WSNs' lifetime.

에너지 절감형 서버 클러스터는 에너지 절감을 고려하지 않는 기존 서버 클러스터에 비해 서비스 품질을 보장하면서 전력소비를 절감하는 것을 목표로 한다. 에너지 절감형 서버 클러스터에서는 현재의 부하를 처리하는 데 필요한 최소수의 서버들만 ON 하도록 고정 또는 가변 주기로 서버들의 전원모드를 조정한다. 이에 대한 기존 연구들은 전력 절감 또는 서비스 품질을 보장하려고 노력해왔지만 에너지 효율성을 잘 고려하지는 못했다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 절감형 클러스터에서 자율학습기반의 에너지 효율적인 클러스터 관리 기법을 제안한다. 자율학습을 통해 최적화된 파라미터들을 이용하여 전력 소모 대비 최고의 성능을 얻을 수 있도록 서버 전원모드를 조정한다. 제안방법은 서버 전원모드 조정을 위해 아래의 과정을 반복 수행한다. 첫째, 현재 부하 및 트래픽 패턴을 보고 현재 워크로드 패턴 유형을 사전에 정의한 대로 분류한다. 둘째, 학습 테이블을 탐색하여 해당 워크로드 패턴 유형에 대해 예전에 학습이 수행되었는지 확인한다. 만일 수행되었다면 이미 저장된 파라미터를 이용한다. 그렇지 않으면, 학습을 수행하여 에너지 효율성 관점에서 최고의 파라미터를 얻어 저장한다. 셋째, 얻어진 파라미터를 이용하여 서버 전원모드를 조정한다. 제안방법을 구현하여 16개의 서버 클러스터 환경에서 3가지 다른 부하 패턴들을 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과는 제안방법의 에너지 효율성이 뛰어남을 보여주고 있다. 뱅킹 부하패턴, 실제 부하패턴, 가상 부하패턴 각각에 대하여, 제안방법의 단위전력당 good 응답 수가 기존의 정적 서버 전원모드 제어방법의 99.9%, 107.5%, 141.8%이고, 기존의 예측방법의 102.0%, 107.0%, 106.8%이다.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들로부터 전송되는 데이터 트래픽에 따라 낮은 지연과 높은 데이터 효율을 지원하는 새로운 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 TADW-MAC은 기존의 멀티 홉 전송에서 해당 Sleep 구간에서 오직 하나의 패킷 전송만을 스케줄할 수 있는 DW-MAC의 문제점을 해결하며, 물체 트래킹(object tracking)이나 화재 감시 시스템 등의 응용에 적합한 duty cycling 메커니즘을 가진다. 이러한 응용에서는 평소에는 데이터 전송이 이루어지지 않지만, 물체의 나타남과 화재 발생 등 이벤트가 발생하는 경우에는 많은 데이터를 전송해야 하며, 낮은 지연을 요구한다[6-8]. 따라서 TADW-MAC에서는 이러한 이벤트가 발생하였을 경우에 duty cycle을 조절함으로 보다 높은 효율과 적은 에너지를 소모할 수 있다. 여러 시뮬레이션을 통해 TADW-MAC은 기존의 RMAC이나 DW-MAC에 비해 에너지 효율과 전송 지연 면에서 더 나은 성능을 보여준다.

In the wireless sensor network environment, clustering scheme has a problem that a large amount of energy is unnecessarily consumed because of frequently occurred entire re-clustering process. Some of the studies were attempted to improve the network performance by getting rid of the entire network setup process. However, removing the setup process is not worthy. Because entire network setup relieves the burden of some sensor nodes. The primary aim of our scheme is to cut down the energy consumption through minimizing entire setup processes which occurred unnecessarily. Thus, we suggest a re-clustering scheme that considers event detection, transmitting energy, and the load on the nodes. According to the result of performance analysis, our scheme reduces energy consumption of nodes, prolongs the network lifetime, and shows higher data collection rate and higher data accuracy than the existing schemes.

Data aggregation is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks which attracts great attention in recent years. Delay and energy efficiencies are two crucial issues of designing a data aggregation scheme. In this paper, we propose a distributed, energy efficient algorithm for collecting data from all sensor nodes with the minimum latency called Delay-aware Power-efficient Data Aggregation algorithm (DPDA). The DPDA algorithm minimizes the latency in data collection process by building a time efficient data aggregation network structure. It also saves sensor energy by decreasing node transmission distances. Energy is also well-balanced between sensors to achieve acceptable network lifetime. From intensive experiments, the DPDA scheme could significantly decrease the data collection latency and obtain reasonable network lifetime compared with other approaches.

Energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks(EH-WSNs) can collect energy from the environment and overcome the technical limitations of existing power. Since the transmission distance in a wireless sensor network is limited, the data are delivered to the destination node through multi-hop routing. In EH-WSNs, the routing protocol should consider the power situations of nodes, which is determined by the remaining power and energy-harvesting rate. In addition, in applications such as environmental monitoring, when there are urgent data, the routing protocol should be able to transmit it stably and quickly. This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol that satisfies different requirements of normal and urgent data. To extend network lifetime, the proposed routing protocol reduces power imbalance for normal data and also minimizes transmission latency by controlling the transmission power for urgent data. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive routing can improve network lifetime by mitigating the power imbalance and greatly reduce the transmission delay of urgent data.

As environmental concerns grow, people are becoming more aware of energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable development. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is currently the most widely recognized building environment assessment method connected to energy and the environment worldwide. This study explores trends for six factors (energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, sustainable sites, water efficiency, and innovation in design) to assess four levels of LEED certification (Platinum, gold, silver, and certified) using 11,209 LEED projects in the United States. The study analyzes trends using scores of percentages of maximum points by certification level, ownership type, space type, and climate zones. With the interest in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principle on the rise, this study contributes to a better understanding of the trends and future of LEED certification in the built environment sector.

Currently one of the most importance issues in industrial sector is energy cost and energy efficiency. The manufacturing plants especially have made many efforts to reduce energy cost by implementing maintenances. But in many cases, they are not aware that how much energy could be saved more. If we know the best energy consumption, which signifies energy baseline, we can control the intensity of maintenances. One way to obtain the baseline is using proper statistics from a specific plant, a sector of industry. Energy bandwidth signifies the gap between actual Specific Energy Consumption(SEC) of a certain plant and minimum SEC of the best plant, and estimate energy saving potential(ESP) is a result of bandwidth analysis. We chose a model plant and implemented some maintenance for a year, and then we obtained ESP. Additionally we could determine the decreased amount of carbon emissions from the plant using Carbon Emissions Factor(CEF) by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC).
