Discrete event system specification (DEVS) has been used in many simulations including hybrid systems featuring both discrete and continuous behavior that require a lot of time to get results. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the acceleration of a DEVS-based hybrid system simulation using multi-cores and GPUs tightly coupled computing. We analyzed the proposed heterogeneous computing of the simulation in terms of the configuration of the target device, changing simulation parameters, and power consumption for efficient simulation. The result revealed that the proposed architecture offers an advantage for high-performance simulation in terms of execution time, although more power consumption is required. With these results, we discovered that our approach is applicable in hybrid system simulation, and we demonstrated the possibility of optimized hardware distribution in terms of power consumption versus execution time via experiments in the proposed architecture.

Due to the diversity of device performances and the possibility of providing multimedia service through many networks, media consumption environment has been changed in various ways. In recent, mobile services and broadcasting services started to provided through IP network. According to this flow changes, there was great demand for various multimedia services through heterogenous networks. To solve this problem, MMT was suggested as a standard of multimedia transport which replaces MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) which is used for HD(High Definition) transport. MMT can be provided various broadcasting based on IP through terrestrial, satellite, cable broadcasting networks, and also deliver multimedia through many networks at the same time. MMT was risen as a method of servicing UHD broadcasting. In this paper, we present an implementation of service architecture for hierarchical UHD broadcasting over heterogenous networks using MMT.

Ubiquitous computing network comprises a variety of distributed service devices. Today Web services technology enables the heterogeneous devices to provide their own services and interact with each other via well-defined Internet protocol. Nevertheless, service devices in ubiquitous environments require more event-driven, autonomous interaction beyond rather passive service-oriented architecture of the present time. This paper presents an ECA (Event-Condition-Action) rule description language in an attempt to support capability for autonomous interactions among service-oriented devices in ubiquitous computing network. Specifically, the proposed WS-ECA is an XML-based ECA rule description language for web service-enabled devices. The rules are embedded in distributed devices which invoke appropriate services in the network if the rules are triggered by some internal or external events. The presented ECA-based device coordination approach is expected to facilitate seamless inter-operation among the web service-enabled devices in the emerging ubiquitous computing environment.

Learning from human behaviors in the real world is essential for human-aware intelligent systems such as smart assistants and autonomous robots. Most of research focuses on correlations between sensory patterns and a label for each activity. However, human activity is a combination of several event contexts and is a narrative story in and of itself. We propose a novel approach of human activity prediction based on event cognition. Egocentric multi-sensor data are collected from an individual's daily life by using a wearable device and smartphone. Event contexts about location, scene and activities are then recognized, and finally the users" daily activities are predicted from a decision rule based on the event contexts. The proposed method has been evaluated on a wearable sensor data collected from the real world over 2 weeks by 2 people. Experimental results showed improved recognition accuracies when using the proposed method comparing to results directly using sensory features.

Things in the IoT(Internet of Things) make various services by exchanging information over networks. The IoT includes many types of WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks) that consists of spatially distributed wireless sensor nodes and operates with the various purposes with useful technologies such as identification, sensing and communication. Typically, Zigbee network composed of low-cost and lowpower devices is mainly used for wide-area monitoring and remote device control systems. The IoT composed of various WSNs cannot interoperate among networks because of heterogeneous communication protocol and different data representation of each network, but can facilitate interconnection and information exchange among networks via the DDS, which is communication middleware standard that aims to enable real-time, high performance and interoperable data exchanges. In this paper, we proposed design of Zigbee Adaptor for two-way interoperation and data exchange between Zigbee network and other networks in the IoT. Zigbee Adaptor communicates with Zigbee network according to the Zigbee protocol and communicates with external networks via DDS. DDS-based Zigbee Adaptor can facilitate interoperation between a Zigbee network and external networks by systematic cooperation among its components.

To deliver services suitable to user's situation in the ubiquitous environment, the researches on realizing new services by combining existing ones have been continuously increased. But, it is difficult to provide the personalized services to each user located in the ubiquitous service space where multiple users coexist. In this paper, we propose a service composition model based on user-centered service scenarios and a system for providing personalized services through finding services suitable to user's situation and combining them. The proposed system supports a simple service discovery protocol for finding services from heterogeneous smart objects with limited computing power in the ubiquitous environment. The system aggregates and stores various service scenarios and data derived from users and executes the appropriate services for users. We design and implement a prototype system for the mobile personal device.

Synthesis process from the data produced by different types of sensor into a single information is being studied and used in a variety of platforms in terms of multi-sensor data fusion. Heterogeneous sensors has been integrated into various aircraft and modern avionic systems manage them. As the performance of sensors in aircraft is getting higher, the integration of sensor information is required from the viewpoint of avionics gradually. Information fusion is not studied widely in the view of software that provide a pilot with fused information from data produced by the sensor in the form of symbology on a display device. The purpose of information fusion is to assist pilots to make a decision in order to perform mission by providing the correct combat situation from avionics of the aircraft and to minimize their workload consequently. In the aircraft avionics equipped with different types of sensors, the software architecture that produce a comprehensive information using the sensor data through multi-sensor data fusion process to the user is shown in this paper.

Although the IoT market is steadily growing, there is still a lack of consideration for increasing security threats in the IoT environment. In particular, it is difficult to apply existing IP security technology to resource-constrained devices. Therefore, there is a demand for reliable end-to-end communication security measures to cope with security threats such as information tampering and leakage that may occur during communication between heterogeneous networks do. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end message security protocol based on lightweight cipher that increases security and lowers security overhead in resource-constrained IoT device communication. Through simulation of processing time, we verified that the proposed protocol has better performance than the existing AES-based protocol.

The purpose of this study was to develop smart bags that combining fashion-specific trends and smart information technologies such as light-emitting diodes(LED) and optic fibers by grafting marquage techniques that have recently become popular as part of eco-fashion. We applied e-textiles by designing leather tote bags that could show off LED luminescence. A total of two tote bags, a white-colored peacock design and a black-colored paisley design, divided the LED's light-emitting method into two types, incremental lighting and random light-emission to suit each design, and the locations of the optical fibers were also reversed depending upon the design. The production of circuits for the LEDs and optical fibers was based on the design, and a flexible conductive fabric was laser-cut instead of wire line and attached to the circuit-line location. A separate connector was underwent three-dimensional(3D)-modeling and was connected to high-luminosity LEDs and optic fiber bundles. The optical fiber logo part expressed a subtle image using a white-colored LED, which did not offset the LED's sharp luminous effects, suggesting that using LEDs with fiber optics allowed for the expression of each in harmony without being heterogeneous. Overall, the LEDs and fiber optic fabric were well-harmonized in the fashion bag using marquage techniques, and there was no sense of it being a mechanical device. Also, the circuit part was made of conductive fabric, which is an e-textile product that feels the same as a thin, flexible fabric. The study confirmed that the bag was developed as a smart wearable product that could be used in everyday life.
