Ubiquitous-Transportation sensor network is able to realize a vehicle ad-hoc network. Since there are some problems in an existing ITS system, the new technology and traffic information strategies are requirements in this advanced system, u-TSN. The purposes of this paper is to introduce the components on u-TSN system, establish new traffic strategies for this system, and then evaluate these strategies by making a comparative study of ITS and using micro traffic simulator, AIMSUN. The strategy evaluated by AIMSUN is position-based multicast strategy which provides traffic information to vehicles using V2I (vehicle to Infrastructure) communication. This paper focuses on the providing real-time route guidance information when congestion is occurred by the incidents. This study estimates total travel time on each route by API modules. Result from simulation experiments suggests that position-based multicast strategy can achieve more optimal network performance and increased driver satisfaction since the total accumulated travel times of both the major road and the total system on position-based multicast strategy are less than those on VMS.

Moored ocean buoys are technically feasible approach for making sustained time series observation in the oceans and will be an important component of any long-term ocean observing system. The 3M disc buoy carried Zeno 3200, MCCB, Orbcomm, Global Star and Bluetooth module. The deployments have relied on Orbcomm and Global Star as the primary satellite communications system. In addition to detailing our practical experience in the use of Orbcomm and Global Star as high latitudes, we will present some of scientific sensor results regarding real-time oceanographic and meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wave height and etc. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a small-scale buoy sensor network. One of the major challenges is that the network is hard to access after its deployment and hence both hardware and software must be robust and reliable.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for remote monitoring, data acquisition and control are applied to major industrial infrastructures including power, water and railroad. Recently, there are many researches on key management scheme for secure communication due to change to the open network environment. These systems are located at far distances and are connected to the main control center through various types of communication methods. Due to the nature of these systems, they are becoming the significant targets of cyber attack. We propose an efficient key management scheme which is established on ID-based cryptosystem without an expensive computation on MTU (Master Terminal Unit), Sub-MTU, and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). The proposed method is secure and effective in key management among multiple legitimate devices.

Korea and Japan have been making a continuous effort to build information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure in schools, and integrate ICT into curriculum by training teachers based on own ICT policies in education. ICT policy in education isparticularly diverse and challenging, in part because the rapid development of ICT continues to create new possibilities for use and demands the transformation of the ways we teach and learn. The present study is to analyze ICT policies of Korea and Japan, between 1980's and the present period, in a larger educational and historical context. The study reviews chronological changes in major streamlines of ICT policies of both countries, and discusses in detail changes in two aspects of ICT policies in education, that is, ICT infrastructure and teacher training. The paper points out convergence and diversity of ICT policies in two countries and concludes with a set of guidelines for ICT policy makers.

Reliable and secure data transmission in the application environment assisted by the wireless sensor network is one of the major challenges. Problem like blind forwarding and data inaccessibility affect the efficiency of overall infrastructure performance. This paper proposes routing protocol for forwarding and error recovery during packet loss. The same is achieved by energy and hops distance-based formulation of the routing mechanism. The reachability of the intermediate node to the source node is the major factor that helps in improving the lifetime of the network. On the other hand, intelligent hop selection increases the reliability over continuous data transmission. The number of hop count is factor of hop weight and available energy of the node. The comparison over the previous state of the art using QualNet-7.4 network simulator shows the effectiveness of proposed work in terms of overall energy conservation of network and reliable data delivery. The simulation results also show the elimination of blind forwarding and data inaccessibility.

According to the privacy regulations of the health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA), patients' control over electronic health data is one of the major concern issues. Currently, remote access authorization is considered as the best solution to guarantee the patients' control over their health data. In this paper, a new biometric-based key management scheme is proposed to facilitate remote access authorization anytime and anywhere. First, patients and doctors can use their biometric information to verify the authenticity of communication partners through real-time video communication technology. Second, a safety channel is provided in delivering their access authorization and secret data between patient and doctor. In the designed scheme, the user's public key is authenticated by the corresponding biometric information without the help of public key infrastructure (PKI). Therefore, our proposed scheme does not have the costs of certificate storage, certificate delivery, and certificate revocation. In addition, the implementation time of our proposed system can be significantly reduced.

In military operations, an accurate localization system is required to navigate soldiers to their destinations, even in non-GPS environments. The global positioning system is a commonly used localization method, but it is difficult to maintain the robustness of GPS-based localization against jamming of signals. In addition, GPS-based localization cannot provide important terrain information such as obstacles. With the widespread use of embedded sensors, sensor-based pedestrian tracking schemes have become an attractive option. However, because of noisy sensor readings, pedestrian tracking systems using motion sensors have a major drawback in that errors in the estimated displacement accumulate over time. We present a group-based standalone system that creates terrain maps automatically while also locating soldiers in mountainous terrain. The system estimates landmarks using inertial sensors and utilizes split group information to improve the robustness of map construction. The evaluation shows that our system successfully corrected and combined the drift error of the system localization without infrastructure.
