The main purpose of this study was to develop Automatic Measurement System for monitoring tree's vigor using Ubiquitous Sensor Network This study also focused on presenting an alternative for monitoring automatically tree's vigor due to Shigometer's limits. Application test of the system in comparison with Shigometer showed that the measurement values were not different to choose between the two, and battery lasted about 1,844 days in this system. To test the sensor network the possible transmission distance using the sensor network in maximum was 130m. Investigation and management expenses can be reduced and labor productivity will also be improved in the forest and street trees.

A distributed healthcare monitoring system prototype for clinical and trauma patients, was developed, using wireless sensor network node. The proposed system aimed to measure various vital physiological health parameters like ECG and body temperature of patients and elderly persons and transfer his/ her health status wirelessly in Ad-hoc network, to remote base station which was connected to doctor's PDA/PC or to a hospital's main Server using wireless sensor node. The system also aims to save the cost of healthcare facility for patients and the operating power of the system because sensor network is deployed widely and the distance from sensor to base station was shorter than in general centralized system. The wireless data communication will follow IEEE 802.15.4 frequency communication with ad-hoc routing thus enabling every motes attached to patients, to form a wireless data network to send data to base-station, providing mobility and convenience to the users in home environment.

Social infrastructure is the basis of public welfare and should be recognized and managed as important assets. Bridge is one of the most important infrastructures to be managed systematically because the impact of the failure is critical. It is essential to monitor the performance of bridges in order to manage them as an asset. But current analytical methods such as predictive modeling and structural analysis are very complicated and difficult to use in practice. To apply these methods, structural and material condition data collection should be performed in each element of bridge. But it is difficult to collect these detailed data in large numbers and various kinds of bridges. Therefore, it is necessary to collect data of major measurement items and predict the life of bridges roughly with advanced information technologies. When certain measurement items reach predefined limits in the monitoring bridges, precise performance measurement will be done by detailed site measurement. This paper describes the selection of major measurement items that can represent the tendency of bridge life and introduces automated bridge data collection test-bed using wireless sensor network technology. The following will be major parts of this paper: 1) Examining the features of conventional bridge management system and data collection method 2) Mileage concept as a bridge life indicator and measuring method of the indicator 3) Test-bed of automated and real-time based bridge life indicator monitoring system using wireless sensor network

The Loose Part Monitoring System(LPMS) has been designed to detect. locate and evaluate detached or loosened parts and foreign objects in the reactor coolant system. In this paper, at first, we presents an application of the back propagation neural network. At the preprocessing step, the moving window average filter is adopted to reject the reject the low frequency background noise components. And then, extracting the acoustic signature such as Starting point of impact signal. Rising time. Half period. and Global time, they are used as the inputs to neural network . Secondly, we applied the neural network algorithm to LPMS in order to estimate the mass of loose parts. We trained the impact test data of YGN3 using the backpropagation method. The input parameter for training is Rising clime. Half Period amplitude. The result shored that the neural network would be applied to LPMS. Also, applying the neural network to thin practical false alarm data during startup and impact test signal at nuclear power plant, the false alarms are reduced effectively.

Grid is a infrastructure to connect heterogeneous resources that are scattered over areas with high-speed network and to cooperate with each other. To carry out Grid application, first, network resources should be managed, since the network has to be safe and reliable. GMA suggests an effective architecture for monitoring of resources that are scattered over a wide area. In this paper, basing on GMA, Grid network management system based on web for practical and general network management is designed. Grid network management system has to operate and connect various distributed management system. Using LDAP authentication, as one access system, Grid network management system maintain stability.

Recent science technology research network moves to establish logical private network among specific research groups such as high energy physics and climate, requiring to implement private network by group for each purpose. Up to now, national research networks such as KREONET service high capacity logical private networks. Therefore standardized configuration and management scheme is essential for the deployment of logical private network. In this study, we propose the core service element and protocols for the logical networks over Layer 2 networks. We also propose system architecture that make monitoring and management easier. After that we design and implement monitoring map for logical network based on scheme. For this purpose, we also propose the description system for logical research network to provide data such as operation information, formation information, performance information and failure information of network infrastructure resource.

Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is widely used in the power systems, however, the contacts overheating of the inside circuit breaker or disconnector may be a potential cause of developing accidents. As the temperature of the contacts cannot be directly acquired due to existence of the metallic shield, an infrared sensor is adopted to directly measure the temperature of the shield and then the contacts temperature can be indirectly obtained by data fitting, based on which the on-line temperature monitoring technology specifically for GIS contacts based on infrared sensing is proposed in this paper. A real GIS test platform is constructed and experimental studies are carried out to account for the influential factors that affect the accuracy of the infrared temperature measurement. A heat transfer model of the GIS module is also developed, together with experimental studies, the nonlinear temperature relationship among the contacts, the metallic shield and the environment based on a neural network algorithm is established. Finally, an integrated on-line temperature monitoring system for the GIS contacts is developed for on-site applications.

In recent, the advancement of wearable devices and wireless body area networking technologies motivate researchers to pay attention to remote healthcare system for monitoring patients health and disease progression effectively. However, in order to implement a practical remote healthcare system, we must consider the security and privacy of patient's personal health information transmitted to healthcare servers through the network. Hence, in this paper, we propose a secure health data transmission protocol in remote healthcare monitoring system to protect patient's health information and prevent privacy from eavesdropping on the network. To achieve our security goals, we design an efficient secure protocol based on the identity-based cryptography with key evolution technique, and then confirm the superiority and the efficiency of the proposed protocol as compared with the existing protocol of Yang et al.
