In the process of vaccine delivery and vaccination, temperature is mostly controlled by an insulated containers containing ice. Moreover, amount of wasted vaccine is significant because the temperature of the vaccine is not properly controlled. A core challenge of vaccination is temperature data monitoring, since it is critical for managing and operating strategical vaccination by health organizations. In this research, a real-time monitoring vaccine carrier system was developed. Temperature, location, and power consumption data of the vaccine carrier were monitored and working performances of the vaccine carrier were tested in both Korea and Tanzania (Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions). For both places, Short Message Service (SMS) communication method was used to send information of the carrier's status. As a result, the monitoring system was able to transmit and receive real-time data of the vaccine carrier status while the vaccine carrier was tested. The vaccine status data can be accessed from any location through the cloud server and web-based user interface.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a basic study on the development of a self-generation infrastructure for monitoring the health of harbour structures. Method: By developing a self-generation system and fiber optic sensors for seawater, the study provides basic research data on port structure health monitoring. Result: Through sunlight simulation analysis, 4-5 hours of sunlight can be secure in the domestic environment. Through this, the optical splitter (Introgate) that collects the raw data from the FBG sensor applicable to seawater, the MCU that calculates it, the IoT module with wireless communication functionality, the monitoring server and the supply system are set up. Conclusion: Monitoring port structures directly with fiber optic probes (FBG) and the possibility of using selfpowered systems were confirmed.

Real-time control systems are growing rapidly as infrastructure technologies such as IoT and mobile communication develop and services that value real-time such as factory management and vehicle operation checks increase. Various solutions have been proposed to increase the time sensitivity of this system, but most real-time control systems are currently composed of local servers and multiple clients located in control stations, which are transmitted to local servers where control systems are located. In this paper, we proposed an edge computing-based real-time control model that can reduce the time it takes for the bus information system, one of the real-time control systems, to provide the information to the user at the time it collects the information. Simulating the existing model and the edge computing model, the edge computing model confirmed that the cost for users to receive data is reduced from at least 10% to up to 80% compared to the existing model.

In this paper, Esp8266, Node.js, and TCP / IP socket communication are used to design a compact data integration device. This device is designed to configure server and client using Esp8266 module that supports Wifi connection and to support bidirectional data transmission using TCP / IP socket communication. The server is configured using the Node.js operating system, and the database is integrated using Mysql. The network is designed to have a separate IP address by assigning a private IP address to the router, such as a home network. This device can transmit data bidirectionally, store individual client data on the server side, and can check the flow of data transmitted bidirectionally through wire-shark, so that it can be used as a compact real-time data integration and convergence device.

More and more people are suffering from sleep disturbance, which can have many different causes. The healthcare industry, which can help people with this disability, is one technology that is currently in the spotlight. However, current services are vulnerable to data concentration, because they are simple telemedicine services that transmit all data to a remote server and process the data on the server. They have a disadvantage in that the data cannot be streamed in real time by synchronizing the biometric data of remotely protected persons. In order to solve this problem, we propose a service structure for streaming biometric data of protected persons to a hospital or guardian in real time, using a self-organizing distributed middleware platform without a central server. We prove that it is possible to provide an effective streaming service by evaluating the service start time and average delay time.

Recently, the rapidly increasing interest in IoT in almost all areas of casual human life has led to wide acceptance of speech recognition as a means of HCI. Simultaneously, the demand for speech recognition systems for mobile environments is increasing rapidly. The server-based speech recognition systems are typically fast and show high recognition rates; however, an internet connection is necessary, and complicated server computation is required since a voice is recognized by units of words that are stored in server databases. In this paper, we present a novel method for recognizing the Korean vowel 'ㅗ', as a part of a phoneme based Korean speech recognition system. The proposed method involves analyses of waveform patterns in the time domain instead of the frequency domain, with consequent reduction in computational cost. Elementary algorithms for detecting typical waveform patterns of 'ㅗ' are presented and combined to make final decisions. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve 89.9% recognition accuracy.

This paper propose the remote monitoring system using LoRa networks about storm overflow chamber, which is a device designed to discharge rainwater directly to a sewage treatment plant when it reaches a certain amount of rainfall during precipitation. In this system, when the information produced by the sensor is transmitted to the LoRa network server and updated, the application server can automatically receive data through the implemented communication interface. The application server carries out management functions of storm overflow chamber devices and subscription information, collects measured flow rate and opening-closing information, and provides statistical information using the collected data. The android app performs a firebase-based notification function to prompt the user of malfunctioning of the storm overflow chamber device.

A Class B device in LoRaWAN periodically receives a Beacon message from a gateway for synchronization, and it also periodically activates a ping slot to receive data from the server. In this paper, we save energy consumption by controlling the beacon-less operation which is immediately started on the packet loss. In addition, we propose a method that the server inactivates the ping slots of a device according to the amount of messages, which have to be received from the server, to save energy consumption resulting from activated but unused empty slots. The experiment with the 20% of packet loss rate showed that the reduced beacon-less operation and the inactivation of the ping slot decrease the energy consumption by 96.7% and 60% as compared to the existing method.

Various server-based services such as big data, IoT and artificial intelligence have been made online. As a result, the demand for IDC to support stable server operation is increasing. IDC is a server-based facility with a stable line and power supply facility that manages 20 to 30 servers in an efficiently separated rack-level subnetwork. Here, we need a way to efficiently manage servers security, firewall, and traffic on a rack-by-rack basis. Including traffic shaping capabilities that control routers, firewalls, IPS, and line speeds, as well as VPN technology, a recent interest. If three or five kinds of commercial equipment are adopted to support this, it may be a great burden to the management cost as well as the introduction cost. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to implement the five functions in one rack-unit small integrated security router. In particular, IDC intends to integrate traffic shaping and IPS, which are essential technologies, and to propose the utility accordingly.
