In an Internet of Thing (IoT) environment, entities with different attributes and capacities are going to be connected in a highly connected fashion. Specifically, not only the mechanical and electronic devices but also other entities such as people, locations and applications are connected to each other. Understanding and managing these connections play an important role for businesses, which identify opportunities for new IoT services. Traditional approach for storing and querying IoT data is used of a relational database management system (RDMS) such as MySQL or MSSQL. However, using RDMS is not flexible and sufficient for handling heterogeneous IoT data because these data have deeply complex relationships which require nested queries and complex joins on multiple tables. In this paper, we propose a graph model for constructing a graph database of heterogeneous IoT data. Graph databases are purposely-built to store highly connected data with nodes representing entities and edges representing the relationships between these entities. Our model fuses social graph, spatial graph, and things graph, and incorporates the relationships among them. We then present a case study which applies our model for representing data from a Smart Campus using Neo4J platform. Through the results of querying to answer real questions in Smart Campus management, we show the viability of our model.

In this paper, we analyzed IoT patent data using the social network analysis of keyword community network in patents related to Internet of Things technology. To identify the difference of IoT patent trends between Korea and USA, 100 Korea patents and 100 USA patents were collected, respectively. First, we first extracted important keywords from IoT patent abstracts using the TF-IDF weight and their correlation and then constructed the keyword network based on the selected keywords. Second, we constructed a keyword community network based on the keyword community and performed social network analysis. Our experimental results showed while Korea patents focus on the core technologies of IoT (such as security, semiconductors and image process areas), USA patents focus on the applications of IoT (such as the smart home, interactive media and telecommunications).

The emergence of diverse medical Internet of Things (IoT) devices has facilitated the collection and analysis of medical contexts to assess health conditions. However, the complexity of IoT-based systems for health assessment is quiet high and it requires high development cost, since the designs of the systems highly depend on the heath aspects to be evaluated. In this paper, we propose a design of the platform that provides generic functionalities to various health evaluation applications. We first define a metric for computing a health index, which is a generic health assessment model. And, based on the proposed generic health index, we propose a design of the platform to evaluate diverse aspects of the health including its hardware architecture, software architecture and database design. We describe the result of developing Rainbow Toilet System based on the proposed platform, and assess the practical applicability.

The convergence of education and technology has been emphasized, leading to the application of educational technology (EdTech) in the field of education. EdTech provides learner-centered, customized learning environments through various media and learning situations. In this paper, we designed hardware for EdTech-based educational tools for IoT security education in the field of cybersecurity education. The hardware is based on a dual microcontroller unit (MCU) within a single board, allowing for both attack and defense to be performed. To leverage various sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT), the hardware is modularly designed. From an educational perspective, utilizing EdTech in cybersecurity education enhances engagement by incorporating tangible physical teaching aids. The proposed research suggests that the design of IoT security education hardware can serve as a reference for simplifying the creation of a security education environment for embedded hardware, software, sensor networks, and other areas that are challenging to address in traditional education..

Nowadays, real-time devices that provide health care for a companion animal is being developed by IoT technology and its demand such as smart puppy tag is increasing. However, it is difficult for IoT devices of companion animals to process complex nature due to miniaturized hardware and constructive nature. There is a clear limit to custom advanced features like health care implementation. This paper designs an integrated platform with statistical analysis which makes it possible to customized services such as feed production, pharmaceutical production, and health care for each companion animal. Middleware that collects sensor information, customer's spending pattern and information from Social Network Service is also designed by making use of IoT devices which companion animals wear. Furthermore, the paper designed data analyzer which analyzes and refines data from collected information that can be applied to personalized services.

As the interest of things to the Internet increases, the market of IoT grows larger and devices and protocols related with IoT are evolving.As these IoT devices and protocols evolve, There was a problem with interoperability. As a result, market and standard of IoT are confused, and communication between objects and objects is being hindered by different platforms. Currently, various IoT platforms are being developed and interoperability with heterogeneous platforms is under study, but the protocols used on each platform are limited and designed to have no generalized structure. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze services of HTTP, CoAP, and MQTT protocols, which are typical in the Internet market, and design services that enable selective protocol communication. We also design resources that apply the RESTful API to generalize platform usage. and We implemented the platform through database modeling for quick processing and safety of the collected data. Through this process, devices communicating with different protocols can be interworked on one platform and We propose a "generalized selective protocol based Internet object data collecting platform" that can be applied to various protocols.

As one of recent issues in the information and communication industry, internet of things has attracted attention to provide intelligent infrastructure services which connect and share data and information between real and virtual world. According to the development of these internet of things technologies, types of machines, telecommunication devices, and terminals are increasing tremendously. In this situation, connectivity and interoperability between internet of things components are important issues to build a hyper connected society. To visualize this society, it is important to set up and develop information and communication technology (ICT) standards among stakeholders. However, under limited budget and human resources, it is essential to rank standardization work items for setting standards with respect to efficiency. The purpose of this study is to provide a method for setting standardization strategies within group decision making. As a multi-criteria group decision making tool, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is adopted and applied to determine the priorities of setting work items. The proposed method first defines decision making problem with objective, criteria, and alternatives which produces a hierarchy consisting of upper and lower criteria. Then, pairwise comparisons of academy and public sector experts are performed with respect to their relative meaning and importance. Individual surveys of expert groups are collected and summarized to determine relative criteria importance measures. Furthermore, to deliver reliable importance criteria measures, differences between academy and public sector expert groups are compared and tested using Mann-Whitney non-parametric test. The results are illustrated for useful guidelines to practical group decision making in standardization strategy establishments.

At present, the Colombian government shares information on threats or vulnerabilities in the area of cybersecurity and cyberdefense, from other government agencies or departments, on an ad-hoc basis but not in real time, with the surveillance entities of the Government of the Republic of Colombia such as the Joint Command of Cybernetic Operations (CCOCI) and the Cybernetic Emergencies Response Team of Colombia (ColCERT). This research presents the MS-CSIRT (Management System Computer Security Incident Response Teams) methodology, that is used to unify the guidelines of a CSIRT towards a joint communication command in cybersecurity for the surveillance of Information Technology (IT), Technological Operations (TO), Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures. This methodology evaluates the level of maturity, by means of a roadmap, to establish a CSIRT as a reference framework for government entities and as a guide for the areas of information security, IT and TO to strengthen the growth of the industry 4.0. This allows the organizations to draw a line of cybersecurity policy with scope, objectives, controls, metrics, procedures and use cases for the correct coordination between ColCERT and CCOCI, as support entities in cybersecurity, and the different companies (ICS, IoT, gas and energy, mining, maritime, agro-industrial, among others) or government agencies that use this methodology.

Recently, a high strength concrete(HSC) in excess of 80 MPa is popular to use in the domestic construction field. But there is no design standard of high strength concrete. It is reason why a study about structural behaviors of thin walls is required. In this paper, the accurate Finite Element Method as a virtual test is suggested considering material properties, which are concrete and steel, and the experimental fractural model suggested by Kupfer. It is conducted the comparison evaluation of the ultimate failure loads, lateral-displacements and crack propagation patterns between the results of experimental approach, which were carried on Saheb's test for normal strength concrete and Lee's test for high strength concrete. Therefore it is suggested to use the accurate virtual simulation test method and Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN) by Finite Element Method for Internet of Things(IoT).
