Recently, the Social Internet of Things (IoT), the follow-up of the IoT, has been studied to expand the existing IoT services, by integrating devices into the social network of people. In the Social IoT environment, humans, devices and digital contents are connected with social relationships, to guarantee the network navigability and establish levels of trustworthiness. However, this environment handles massive data, including social data of humans (e.g., profile, interest and relationship), profiles of IoT devices, and digital contents. Hence, users and service providers in the Social IoT are exposed to arbitrary data when searching for specific information. A study about the recommender system for the Social IoT environment is therefore needed, to provide the required information only. In this paper, we propose the Social correlation group based Recommender System (SRS). The SRS generates a target group, depending on the social correlation of the service requirement. To generate the target group, we have designed an architecture, and proposed a procedure of the SRS based on features of social interest similarity and principles of the Collaborative Filtering and the Content-based Recommender System. With simulation results of the target scenario, we present the possibility of the SRS to be adapted to various Social IoT services.

Since 2000s, proper utilization of IoT (Internet of Things) technology is a key factor for a firm to become more competitive, and this stream is not exceptional for the food and agriculture industry. Along with this stream, Korea government organization, for example MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs), elected to adopt IoT technology, such as USN and RFID technologies, in the food and agriculture industry. Based on the IoT technology, MAFARA launched six "IoT based farm" project in 2007. IoT based farm project includes IoT based greenhouse system project, and it shows drastic efficiency in terms of cost reduction. When it comes to the productivity, however, the effect of IoT based greenhouse system is still ambiguous. In this regard, this study conducted systems analysis and design for IoT based tomato greenhouse in order to help farmers' decision making related to the productivity by establishing standardized database structure and designing output form to analyze productivity indices. Proposed systems analysis and design can be utilized as a data analysis tools by farmers. Productivity data from the proposed systems is can be used by researchers to identify the relationship among environment, plant growth and productivity. Policy makers also can refer to the data and output forms to predict the quantity of fruit during certain period and to revise production guideline more precisely.

According to the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, we are able to connect between human and objects and between objects through network, allowing transmission and reception of information beyond the limits of space. These days, Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies becomes popular more and more, to implement IoT infrastructure effectively. In this paper, this study aims to analyze LoRa, one of LPWA technologies, and suggest IoT security technology using LoRa to minimize threats to security.

Today our society is approaching new intelligence information society, which has been caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution along with the development of information and communication technology(ICT). And this has just opened a new era of Internet of Things(IoT) that connects between human and objects and between objects through network, allowing transmission and reception of information beyond the limits of space. However, many crises occurred in the existing communication environment may threaten the security of Internet of Things, by violating the three components of information security. In this paper, this study aims to analyze security technology to achieve advanced security by dividing IoT security technology for coping with security vulnerability found in different components into three groups.

Recently, both wireless communications technology and the performance of small devices have developed exponentially, while the number of services using various types of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has also massively increased in line with the ongoing technological and environmental changes. Furthermore, ever more devices that were previously used in the offline environment-including small-size sensors and CCTV-are being connected to the Internet due to the huge increase in IoT services. However, many IoT devices are not equipped with security functions, and use vulnerable open source software as it is. In addition, conventional network equipment, such as switches and gateways, operates with vulnerabilities, because users tend not to update the equipment on a regular basis. Recently, the simple vulnerability of IoT devices has been exploited through the distributed denial of service (DDoS) from attackers creating a large number of botnets. This paper proposes a system that is capable of identifying Internet-connected devices quickly, analyzing and managing the vulnerability of such devices using Internet-wide scan technology. In addition, the vulnerability analysis rate of the proposed technology was verified through collected banner information. In the future, the company plans to automate and upgrade the proposed system so that it can be used as a technology to prevent cyber attacks.

As the Internet-related products are launched in a variety of ways, if the products are not produced according to the world standardization model of the Internet, communication with the standardized products will not be smoothly performed. This study was carried out in order to improve the competitiveness of export by launching the global standardization promotion strategy of the Internet of things, to grasp the internet standardization trends of each country and to release the following products. This research work presents a strategic driving model that can enhance interoperability among heterogenous IoT devices. Therefore, this research proposed case by case strategic standard approach based on level of technologies.

This study aims to analyze research trends in blockchain-based Internet of Things focusing on the US, UK, and Korea. In Elsevier's Scopus, we collected 2,174 papers about blockchain-based Internet of Things published in from 2018 to 2023. Keyword frequency and centrality analysis were conducted on the abstracts of the collected papers. Through the obtained keyword frequencies, we tried to identify keywords with high frequency of occurrence and through centrality analysis, we tried to identify central research keywords for each country. As a result of the centrality analysis, research on blockchain, smart contracts, Internet of Things, security and personal information protection was conducted as the most central research in each country. The implication for Korea is that cybersecurity, authentication research appears to have been conducted with a lower centrality compared to the United States and the United Kingdom. Thus, it seems that intensive research related to cybersecurity and authentication is needed.

사물인터넷(Internet of Things: IoT)이란 모든 사물이 인터넷에 연결되어 상호 간에 직접 통신하는, 향후 정보통신의 미래 인프라 및 서비스이다. 이것이 필요한 이유는 초연결 사회에 기반을 둔 삶의 질 향상과 생산성 향상에 있으며, 최종적으로는 국가 자체의 인프라, 더 나아가서는 인류를 위한 중추 신경계를 이루기 때문에 무엇보다 중요하다. IoT는 셀룰러 이동통신 기반의 IoT와 비셀룰러기반의 IoT로 대분되어 오다가 두 분야의 융합이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 IoT는 현재 거품 최고조기에 있으며, 아직까지 주목할 만한 큰 수익모델이 없는 상태이다. 그 이유는 사물인터넷 서비스 활성화에 가장 걸림돌이 되어온 보안문제, 배터리수명, 통신거리, IoT 디바이스를 포함한 솔루션 가격 그리고 월정료 문제가 여전히 존재하기 때문이다. 최근 이들 문제 해결을 목적으로, 대량의 IoT 디바이스를 필요로 하는 새로운 사물인터넷 커넥티비티에 대한 재정의, 표준화 및 솔루션 개발이 핫이슈이다. 본고에서는 셀룰라 및 비셀룰라 IoT기반의 Low Power Wide Area(LPWA), 즉 저전력 광역 IoT에 대한 시장, 기술 및 솔루션 비교 그리고 표준화 동향을 다룬다. 또한, 비셀룰라기반 즉 비면허대역과 프리밴드 활용을 통한 기술적 및 정책적 대응전략을 살펴본다.

Internet of Things technology is rapidly developing due to the recent development of information and communication technology. IoT technology utilizes various sensors to generate unique data from each sensor, enabling diagnosis of system status. However, the equipment management system currently in effect is a post-preservation concept in which administrators must deal with the problem after the problem occurs, which could mean system reliability and availability problems due to system errors, and could result in economic losses due to negative productivity disruptions. Therefore, this study confirmed that edge controller control decision algorithms for more efficient operation of rectifiers in the factory by applying intelligent IoT (AIoT) technology and domain knowledge-based modeling for each sensor data collected based on this, outputting appropriate status messages for each scenario.
