Swarming has proven to be a good in vitro model for bacterial surface adherence and colonization, and the swarming differentiation of a bacterium has been shown to be coupled with changes in the expression of virulence factors associated with its invasiveness, particularly in the early stages of infection. In this study, we attempted to determine whether the expression of vvhA, which encodes for hemolysin/cytolysin (VvhA), is either upregulated or downregulated during the swarming differentiation of V. vulnificus. The insertional inactivation of vvhA itself exerted no detectable effect on the expression of V. vulnificus swarming motility. However, in our lacZ-fused vvhA transcriptional reporter assay, vvhA expression decreased in swarming V. vulnificus as compared to non-swarming or planktonic V. vulnificus. The reduced expression of vvhA in swarming V. vulnificus increased as a result of the deletional inactivation of luxS, a gene associated with quorum sensing. These results show that vvhA expression in swarming V. vulnificus is downregulated via the activity of the LuxS quorum-sensing system, suggesting that VvhA performs no essential role in the invasiveness of V. vulnificus via the adherence to and colonization on the body surfaces required in the early stages of the infection. However, VvhA may playa significant role in the pathophysiological deterioration occurring after swarming V. vulnificus is differentiated into planktonic V. vulnificus.

본 논문에서는 포텐셜 함수와 슬라이딩 모드 제어기법을 이용한 행동양식 기반의 분산형 군집비행 제어구조를 제안하였다. 군집비행 행동양식을 위해 각 개체의 상호작용을 포텐셜 함수로 표현하였으며, 군집형태를 유지하며 기준궤적을 추종하기 위해 군집중심점 제어기법을 제안하였다. 시스템의 불확실성과 임무환경에 의한 포텐셜 함수 변화에 대해 강건한 성능을 유지하기 위해 슬라이딩 모드 제어기법을 적용하여 제어기를 구성하고 안정성을 평가하였다. 또한 예상하지 못한 장애물에 대한 군집 회피기동을 위해 비행경로 수정기법을 제시하였다. 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 군집비행 제어기법의 성능을 평가하였다.

Swarm formation of Scapholeberis kingi Sars 1903 was observed in a shallow reservoir on 27 May 2007 (Dongpan Reservoir) for the first time. Dense swarms composed of asexual females, only occurred during daytime (13:00-17:00, local time) at the littoral zone. Correlation between density of S. kingi and environmental factors such as water temperature and density of juvenile fish were positively significant. Therefore, it is suggested that the swarming of S. kingi seems to be induced for predator avoidance than increase of mating chance, and water temperature may affect their swarming behavior.

This paper presents a framework for decentralized control of self-organizing swarm agents based on the artificial potential functions (APFs). The framework explores the benefits by associating agents based on position information to realize complex swarming behaviors. A key development is the introduction of a set of association rules by APFs that effectively deal with a host of swarming issues such as flexible and agile formation. In particular, this paper presents an association rule for swarming that requires less movements for each agent and compact formation among agents. Extensive simulations are presented to illustrate the viability of the proposed framework.

Recently, drones have been used in various field to overcome time and space limitations. However, single drone still has a lot of restriction on transportation wight and travel time. Therefore many studies have been conducted to increase the utilization by swarm of drones. Many things should be additionally considered in order to operate swarming drones securely. Especially the group key management is a challenging research topic in tactical domain due to existence of adversary that has anti-drone skill. In this paper, we proposed an efficient group key management scheme for tactical swarming drone networks where an adversary equipped with anti-drone skills exists. The group key can be updated with a small number of message exchange compared to other convenience schemes. The numerical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme manages the group key efficiently and securely.

초고속 통신망의 일반화와 다양한 온라인 서비스의 출현으로 인터넷을 통한 대용량 콘텐츠 배포에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 서버와 네트워크의 부담이 커지자 P2P 네트워크 기반으로의 전환 움직임이 활발해지고 있다. P2P 스워밍 기법은 서버의 역할을 최소화하고, 트래픽을 고르게 분산시켜 네트워크 과부하로 인한 각종 문제들을 해결할 수 있으며, 자원의 유지보수 비용 또한 절감시킬 수 있다. 하지만 P2P 스워밍 기법의 특성상 보안 서비스제공을 위해선 많은 메시지 교환이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 P2P 스워밍기법에서 기밀성, 인증, 무결성, 접근 제어 등의 보안 서비스를 제공하는 효율적인 보안 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 안드로이드 스마트폰 플랫폼에서 구현하여 실험을 하였다. 제안된 프로토콜은 스워밍기법을 이용하는 상용시스템에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Dynamic sensor network(DSN) technology which is based on swarming flight type air node offers analyzed and acquired information on target data gathered by air nodes in rotation flight or 3 dimension array flight. Efficient operation of dynamic sensor network based on air node is possible when problems of processing time, data transmission reliability, power consumption and intermittent connectivity are solved. Delay tolerant network (DTN) can be a desirable alternative to solve those problems. DTN using store-and-forward message switching technology is a solution to intermittent network connectivity, long and variable delay time, asymmetric data rates, and high error rates. However, all processes are performed at the bundle layer, so high power consumption, long processing time, and repeated reliability technique occur. DSN based on swarming flight type air node need to adopt store-and-forward message switching technique of DTN, the cancelation scheme of repeated reliability technique, fast processing time with simplified layer composition.

The diel swarming of Moina macrocopa and the relationship between environmental factors were evaluated in a shallow reservoir. The littoral density of Moina macrocopa maintained low from night to noon, reached maximum density at the afternoon with compact swarms at the waters' edge, and dispersed after sunset. The recruitment of Moina macrocopa and changes of water temperature (r=0.709, p<0.001) and juvenile fish density (r=0.511, p=0.002) in the littoral zone showed a significant positive relationships. After the induction of diel horizontal migration toward littoral zone, therefore, direct juvenile fish predation pressure should be induced Moina macrocopa swarming.

This paper presents a framework for decentralized control of self-organizing swarm systems based on the artificial potential functions (APFs). The framework explores the benefits by associating agents based on position information to realize complex swarming behaviors. A key development is the introduction of a set of association rules by APFs that effectively deal with a host of swarming issues such as flexible and agile formation. In this scheme, multiple agents in a swarm self-organize to flock and achieve formation control through attractive and repulsive forces among themselves using APFs. In particular, this paper presents an association rule for swarming that requires less movement for each agent and compact formation among agents. Extensive simulations are presented to illustrate the viability of the proposed framework.

본 연구에서는 우리 나라에서 분리된 Vibrio harveyi의 미생물학적 특성을 조사하여 V. harveyi 연구의 기초적인 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. V. harveyi는 염분 농도 3%, 배양 온도 30℃에서 가장 잘 증식하였다. Swarming 운동은 1.5% NaCl 첨가 TSA에서 가장 활발하였으며, swarming 운동시 균체는 길어지며, 짧고 곧은 다수의 lateral flagella가 생성된 것을 확인하였다. 우리나라에서 분리된 V. harveyi는 luminometer로 직접 검출하는 방법과 luciferase gene을 검출하는 방법 모두에서 음성으로 나타나, 발광능이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. V. harveyi의 균체 단백질은 50 kDa 부근의 major protein을 가지며, 균주에 따라 40 kDa 근처의 상이한 band pattern을 보였다.
