The fusion technology of small sensor and wireless communication was followed by various application examples of the embedded system, where the social infrastructural facilities and ecological environment were wirelessly monitored. In addition, this technology represents the primary application area being extended into the healthcare field. In this study, a body area network for ubiquitous healthcare is presented. More specifically this represents a wireless biomedical signal acquisition device characterized by small size, low power consumption, pre-processing and archiving capability. Using this device, a new method for monitoring vital signs and activity is created. A PDA-based wireless sensor network enables patients to be monitored during their daily living, without any constraints. Therefore, the proposed method can be used to develop Activities of Daily Living (ADL) monitoring devices for the elderly or movement impaired people. A medical center would be able to remotely monitor the current state of elderly people and support first-aid in emergency cases. In addition, this method will reduce medical costs in society, where the average life expectancy is increasing.

IP Multicast can efficiently provide enormous bandwidth savings by enabling sources to send a single copy of a message to multiple recipients who explicitly want to receive the information. But due to the complexity of IP multicast and its fundamental differences from unicast, there are not very many tools available fer monitoring and debugging multicast networks, and only a few experts understand the tools that do exist. This thesis proposes a Multicast Routing Debugger (MRD) system that monitor the status of a multicast network. This system is aimed to multicast-related faults detection. In thesis, first, we define the set of information that should be monitored. Second, the method is developed to take out such information from multicast routers. Third, MRD system is prototyped to collect, process information from heterogeneous routers on a multicast network and to display the various status of the network comprehensively. The prototype of MRD system is implemented and deployed. We perform experiments with several scenarios. Experimental results show we can detect various problems as information that we define is monitored. The MRD system is simple to use, web-based and intuitive tool that can monitor the status of a specific multicast network.

RWe have developed an infrared temperature monitoring system to measure the temperature of hot iron plate in very harsh environmental conditions as iron making equipment. We performed extensive field test for 3 months at the front side of iron plate rolling process of POSCO in Gwang-Yang. From the experimental test, we have confirmed the reliability of the developed system. We adjust the curve fit method to solve the non-linearity equations of A2TPMI sensor, and establish the under $1[^{\circ}C]$precision ratio and 25[msec] process speed each range. As experimental, we have confirmed the reliability of an infrared temperature monitoring system as POSCO test result and CAN network traffic monitoring of polling method.

The vibration monitoring system using the sensor network is used in various fields. However, in case of the vibration of the existing products, the size of the monitoring system is increased due to the separation of the sensor data collection function and the communication function. In this paper, we design and implement a lightweight vibration monitoring system using the MQTT protocol, which is oneM2M device standard protocol for the Arduino and Ethernet modules, to monitor frequent earthquakes and vibrations in narrow places.

In order to observe the thermal behavior of oil immersed power transformers the temperature rise prediction algorithm and monitoring system were developed. The algorithm is formulated into a computer program based on the TNM (Thermal Network Method) which was divided into several elements, and the temperature of each element was calculated according to each time lapse. A monitoring system can show the real time active part temperatures of the transformer under various electric loads and for any types of thermal environment.

70 percent of Korea's territory is covered with mountains, whose difficult conditions can cause damage to facilities. Recently, the demand for facilities related to outdoor activities including monorails has been on the rise, and such facilities are much more likely to become damaged. For this reason, a monitoring system applying IoT to mountainous areas was developed and its applicability is evaluated in this study. The current status of the existing mountainous facilities and monitoring systems were reviewed, and the current wired monitoring technology was analyzed. A scenario for IoT-based monitoring was developed, and then sensor nodes were developed, which include an RF-communication module and interface, power-supply and solar-cell. A testbed was set up at K University. The same data was collected by the wireless system as had been collected by the wired one. The study findings are as follows. Firstly, by using the wireless system, it is estimated that the construction duration can be reduced by about 25 percent, while the construction costs can be reduced by about 3~52 percent. Secondly, the safety of the construction workers can be improved by making the working conditions less dangerous, such as by eliminating the need to transport cables.

In order to support increased consumer awareness regarding energy consumption, we present new ways of monitoring and predicting with energy in electric appliances. The proposed system is a design of a common electrical power outlet called smart plug that measures the amount of current passing through current sensor at 0.5 second. To acquire data for training and testing the proposed neural network, weather parameters used include average temperature of day, min and max temperature, humidity, and sunshine hour as input data, and power consumption as target data from smart plug. Using the experimental data for training, the neural network model based on Back-Propagation algorithm was developed. Multi layer perception network was used for nonlinear mapping between the input and the output data. It was observed that the proposed neural network model can predict the power consumption quite well with correlation coefficient was 0.9965, and prediction mean square error was 0.02033.

As the frequency of seismic disasters in Korea has increased rapidly since 2016, interest in systematic maintenance and crisis response technologies for structures has been increasing. A data-based leading management system of Lifeline facilities is important for rapid disaster response. In particular, the water supply network, one of the major Lifeline facilities, must be operated by a systematic maintenance and emergency response system for stable water supply. As one of the methods for this, the importance of the structural health monitoring(SHM) technology has emerged as the recent continuous development of sensor and signal processing technology. Among the various types of SHM, because all machines generate vibration, research and application on the efficiency of a vibration-based SHM are expanding. This paper reviews a vibration-based pipeline SHM system for seismic disaster response of water supply pipelines including types of vibration sensors, the current status of vibration signal processing technology and domestic major research on structural pipeline health monitoring, additionally with application plan for existing pipeline operation system.
