The performance test for 376MW ESS for frequency regulation currently operating in 13 substations is conducted based on the test procedure in the first and second steps. In the first step, components of ESS is moved to the certification authority where the test equipment is located in order to be proceeded with the test. In the second step, the performance test is conducted manually for the ESS equipments installed on site using the movable measurement equipment, and thus it can only be performed on some limited test items and requires a lot of time and manpower. Therefore, mobile test equipment for ESS(MOTES) is being developed that can perform automatically more test items for ESS in the field using the MOTES, and reduce manpower and time. To do this, an algorithm and a prototype of the operating system(MOS) are also being developed that can control MOTES automatically. In this paper, a development of the MOS prototype is introduced and then a simulation is performed to verify the prototype and its algorithm before the field demonstration.

Sensor network is one of the strongest technologies for various applications including home automation, surveillance system and monitoring system. To ensure secure and robust network communication between sensor nodes, plain-text should be encrypted using encryption methods. However due to their limited computation power and storage, it is difficult to implement public key cryptography, including elliptic curve cryptography, RSA and pairing cryptography, on sensor networks. However, recent works have shown the possibility that public key cryptography could be made available in a sensor network environment by introducing the efficient multi-precision multiplication method. The previous method suggested a broad rule of multiplication to enhance performance. However, various features of sensor motes have not been considered. For optimized implementation, unique features should be handled. In this paper, we propose a fully optimized multiplication method depending on a different specification for sensor motes. The method improves performance by using more efficient instructions and general purpose registers.

As a promising technology that enables ubiquitous computing and leads IT(information Technology) industries of next generation, the exciting new field of sensor networks is attracting so much attention and considered to be the one of the hottest research topics these days. From now on, all the each node, forming a network, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to the change of environment with the perpetual creation and extinction. In this paper, we purpose the dynamic address interworking scheme for interactive networking between sensor network and Internet(IPv6). Proposed scheme is enable to interworking dynamically between sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and Internet address scheme based on IP. Additionally, we implement the proposed address interworking scheme using Berkeley TinyOS, mica motes, and IP protocol. And, we verify the proposed scheme by the interconnection experimental between wireless sensor networks and Internet based on IPv4/IPv6.

IoT (Internet of Things) technologies have largely contributed to our smart living environment. The smart parking system is one of the prominent services that IoT supports. To identify the parked vehicles, the previous parking system use special identifying devices, the RFID tags carried by the users, and the high quality camera to recognize the vehicle license numbers. However, the previous methods cause cost inefficiency and unfriendly usages. To address these problems, we propose a smart parking system based on ultrasonic sensors and Bluetooth communication. The proposed system decides the available slots by using the sensor motes located in the parking spaces. Also it recognizes the location of the parked vehicle using Bluetooth RSSI between a Smartphone and the sensor motes. In addition, based on these converging technologies, it can support the parked routes of vehicles for users. To evaluate the implemented smart parking system, we applied the RSSI transform equations and the recognition rate for parked vehicles. As a result, the accurate rate of transformed distances could be measured.

We present an autonomous entertainment dolphin robot system based on ubiquitous sensor networks(USN). Generally, It is impossible to apply to USN and GPS in underwater bio-mimetic robots. But An Entertainment dolphin robot which presented in this paper operates on the water not underwater. Navigation of the underwater robot in a given area is based on GPS data and the acquired position information from deployed USN motes with emphasis on user interaction. Body structures, sensors and actuators, governing microcontroller boards, and swimming and interaction features are described for a typical entertainment dolphin robot. Actions of mouth-opening, tail splash or water blow through a spout hole are typical responses of interaction when touch sensors on the body detect users' demand. Dolphin robots should turn towards people who demand to interact with them, while swimming autonomously. The functions that are relevant to human-robot interaction as well as robot movement such as path control, obstacle detection and avoidance are managed by microcontrollers on the robot for autonomy. Distance errors are calibrated periodically by the known position data of the deployed USN motes.

In this paper, we revisit a generally accepted opinion: implementing Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) over GF$(2^m)$ on sensor motes using small word size is not appropriate because partial XOR multiplication over GF$(2^m)$ is not efficiently supported by current low-powered microprocessors. Although there are some implementations over GF$(2^m)$ on sensor motes, their performances are not satisfactory enough due to the redundant memory accesses that result in inefficient field multiplication and reduction. Therefore, we propose some techniques for reducing unnecessary memory access instructions. With the proposed strategies, the running time of field multiplication and reduction over GF$(2^{163})$ can be decreased by 21.1% and 24.7%, respectively. These savings noticeably decrease execution times spent in Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) operations (Signing and verification) by around $15{\sim}19%$.

The analysis of the variable continuous big data stram should reach the destination context awareness. This study presented a novel way of context inference of the variable data stream from sensor motes. For assessment of the sensor data, we calculated the difference of each measured value at the time window and determined the belief value of each focal element. It was beneficial that calculate and assessment of factor of situation for context inference with the Dempster-Shfer evidence theory.

In this paper, we introduced our designed TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) based MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for Home Networks called HomeTDMA. We have implemented and tested it in a test bed using crossbow motes and TinyOS. We also have compared HomeTDMA and CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) in terms of space and time complexity, channel access time, delivery success ratio, and throughput. Based on our results, HomeTDMA has an advantage over CSMA on channel access time, throughput and delivery success ratioIn the case of complexity, HomeTDMA is more complex compared to CSMA. Thus, CSMA is more appropriate in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where memory, energy, and throughput are important parameters to be considered. However, HomeTDMA has a natural advantage of collision free medium access and is very promising for home networks where a reliable transmission or data transfer and congestion control is highly preferred.

The sensor network by using Utrasonic transceiver is concerned about the dampness of the signals caused by distance among the nodes, the distortion for speed of data trasmission and the transport protocol. The motes are sized $50mm\times60mm$, the ultrasonic analog part sized $30mm\times40mm$ and record 2% error rate for data transport.
