Recently, the society confronts unpredictable disasters and the aspects varies in diverse ways. As a pessimistic perception on the social safety starts emerging, the UT utilized actional system for disaster is viewed as a solution. Therefore, in this paper, I provided UT applied forecast prototype which is a portion of u-Gov's application services. Also, as one of UT applied policy subject, I distinguished and analyzed the differences between e-Gov and u-Gov and, finally, suggested u-Gov's reform in order to surpass e-Gov's limitation and amelioration for possible problems during prototype materialization.

Reliability should be assured to support the stable ubiquitous sensor network services in wireless sensor networks. Data transmission reliability is the most important one in the reliability factors in USN. When we consider the wireless communication environment of sensor networks, data transmission reliability requires the performance improvement. For this, this paper introduces the method that can handle the reliability and the performance together. The proposed scheme uses the self relay signal between sensor nodes to deliver the ACK and the next data is scheduled to be sent on acceptance of this self relay signal. For the evaluation of the performance improvement, the analysis and the simulation have been done.

In the monitoring system based on web service application, it is faced with the problems like code reproduction, difficult scalability and error recovery derived from the frequent change of data structure. So we propose a technique of monitoring system by DTD(Document Type Definition) automatic generation. This technique is to use dynamic server-side script to cope with the change of sensor data structure, generate the DTD dynamically. An it also adapt the AJAX(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) for XML data parsing, it can support mass data transmission and exception processing for data loss and damage. This technique shows the result of recovery time is decreased about 44.8ms in case of temporary data failure by comparing to the conventional XML method.

The current sensor network analyzes the data collected by the sensing of fixed sensor nodes and provides a service. However, this method cannot actively handle the state and the change in the position of people, 'the target for sensing and the change in the environment', including home automation, building automation and real-time road & weather information, and healthcare environment, etc. To support a dynamic situation which is appropriate for an individual in this diverse environment, it is necessary to provide actively differentiated specific information according to the movement of people and the changes in the environment. In this study, a individualized sensor mobile agent middleware which provides the individualized information (the location of fire incidence and the trace for the path of spread), has been realized through the sensor network environment constructed by the installation of wireless sensor nodes mounted with mobile agent middlewares in buildings.

Seventy percent of Korea's national territory is covered with mountains, and the land is frequently exposed to typhoons and localized torrential downpours, particularly in July through September. For this reason, slope failure is one of the most frequent types of natural disasters in Korea. To prevent the damage caused by slope failure, the Korean government, academia and industry have strived together to develop and install a wired system for monitoring slope failures. However, conventional wired monitoring systems have been reported to have limitations, such as possible system errors caused by lightning, and the difficulties of restoration and management of the systems. To solve these problems, this research suggests a USN-based monitoring system for slope failures. First, the trend of slope measurement and USN technology was analyzed, and then the current status of damage caused by slope failures in Korea was reviewed. Next, a USN-based monitoring scenario for slope failures, incorporating both USN and slope monitoring technique, was developed. Finally, sensors were decided based on the developed scenario. It is expected that the results of this study will be utilized as fundamental data for the development of monitoring prototype systems for slope failures in the future. The development of the USN-based monitoring system for slope failures and its application in the field will also ultimately contribute to the prevention of slope failures and the minimization of related damage.

The objective of this project is to construct the intelligent underground facility management system based on UFSN (Underground Facility Sensor Network). Total project duration is 6-year. And first two years' project has been finished. First two years' project focused on water supply and sewage facilities among 7 underground facilities and investigated the fundamental construction technology for the underground facilities management system. To contribute the development of systematic and scientific management of underground facilities, KRIHS implemented 3 researches for 'Underground facilities management system for an intelligent city' like followings: (1) to investigate an integration plan for current water supply and sewage management systems, (2) to derivate of water supply and sewage monitoring items for the monitoring technology development, and (3) to implement a basic research for sensor installation plans on different types of current and new underground facility systems. This research paper contains the first two years' outcome of researches from KRIHS (Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements).

The missing child problem is no more a personal problem. It became a social problem that all parents must consider. To this, this study applies USN/RFID technology integrated with GIS for the prevention of missing child. Although RFID is not designed for location sensing, but now it is regarded as a device to facilitate real time location awareness. Such advantages of RFID can be integrated with 4S(GIS/GPS/LBS/GNSS) achieving much synergy effects. In order to prevent kidnapping and missing child, it is necessary to provide a missing child preventing system using a ubiquitous computing system. Therefore, the missing child preventing system has been developed using high-tech such as RFID, GPS network, CCTV, and mobile communication. The effectiveness of the missing child prevention system can be improved through an accurate location tracking technology. This study propose and test a location sensing system using the active RFID tags. This study verifies technical applied service, and presents a system configuration model. Finally, this paper confirms missing child prevention system utilization possibility.

When big fire in high rise building and multiplex happens, the needs for high prevention system of disaster are being increased for getting the real-time scene state, quick lifesaver, and safe life security. In this paper the proposed evacuation guidance algorithm which analyzed the feature and danger of fire in high rise buildings, gave simplicity and scalability. Our research shows as fire and disaster occur in high rise buildings we construct sensor networks and sense realtime location information on fire alive people, and the situation information for fire instructed quick and safe escaping route by using mesh routing algorithm scheme relative to exit sign.

Due to the importance of energy-saving and CO2 reduction is being emphasized in the world, efforts to find a solution for the problems is increasing rapidly. In particular, the renewable energy is on understanding as a breakthrough for the protection of the environment and the economic development, so it is intensively fostered as future industries. Developed countries are already pursuing policy and technology development related with renewable energy. In this paper, we will develop MHD(Magneto Hydro Dynamics) technology to supply the commercial power that can is targeted at water pipe related with hydro power among renewable energy technologies. Kinetic energy of fluid flowing in the water pipe is converted into electric power. It allows stable power supply to the various sensors and devices on water pipe. We have performed several experiments to verify the application possibility of the developed technologies and present the result and a method of performance improvement of the technologies.
