A Comparative Analysis of Domestic and Foreign Docker Container-Based Research Trends

Cloud computing, which is rapidly growing as one of the core technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, has become the center of global IT trend change, and Docker, a container-based open source platform, is the mainstream for virtualization technology for cloud computing. Therefore, in this paper, research trends based on Docker containers were compared and analyzed, focusing on studies published from March 2013 to July 2022. As a result of the study, first, the number of papers published by year, domestic and foreign research were steadily increasing. Second, the keywords of the study, in domestic research, Docker, Docker Containers, and Containers were in the order, and in foreign research, Cloud Computing, Containers, and Edge Computing were in the order. Third, in the frequency of publishing institutions to estimate research trends, the utilization was the highest in two papers of the Korean Next Generation Computer Society and the Korean Computer Accounting Society. In the overseas research, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, IEEE Access, and Computer were in the order. Fourth, in the research method, experiments 78(26.3%) and surveys 32(10.8%) were conducted in domestic research. In foreign research, experiments 128(43.1%) and surveys 59(19.9%) were conducted. In the experiment of implementation research, In domestic research, System 25(8.4%), Algorithm 24(8.1%), Performance Measurement and Improvement 16(5.4%) were in the order, In foreign research, Algorithm 37(12.5%), Performance Measurement and Improvement 17(9.1%), followed by Framework 26(8.8%). Through this, it is expected that it will be used as basic data that can lead the research direction of Docker container-based cloud computing such as research methods, research topics, research fields, and technology development.

국내·외 도커 컨테이너 기반 연구 동향 비교 분석

최근 4차 산업혁명의 핵심 기술 중 하나로 급성장하고 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 세계적인 IT 트렌드 변화의 중심이 되었으며 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 위한 가상화 기술은 컨테이너 기반의 오픈소스 플랫폼인 도커가 대세를 이루고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 2013년 3월부터 2022년 7월까지 게재된 연구를 중심으로 도커 컨테이너 기반의 연구 동향을 비교·분석하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 연도별 논문 게재수는 국내·외 모두 꾸준히 증가하고 있었다. 둘째, 연구 키워드에서, 국내, Docker, Docker Containers, Containers, 국외, Cloud Computing, Containers, Edge Computing 순이었다. 셋째, 연구 분야 동향 추정을 위한 발행기관별 빈도수는 국내, The Journal of Korean Institute of Next Generation Computing, Journal of Korean Association of Computer and Accounting 두 논문지에서 활용도가 가장 높았고, 국외, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, IEEE Access, Computer 순으로 활용도가 높았다. 넷째, 연구방법에서 국내, 실험 78편(26.3%), 조사 32편(10.8%), 국외, 실험 128편(43.1%), 조사 59편(19.9%)이였고 구현방법에서는 전체의 206편(69.4%)이 실험이고, 91편(30.6%)이 조사이다. 그중 실험에서 국내, System 25편(8.4%), Algorithm 24편(8.1%), Performance Measurement and Improvement 16편(5.4%), 국외, Algorithm 37편(12.5%), Performance Measurement and Improvement 17편(9.1%), Framework 26편(8.8%) 순이었다. 이를 통해 연구방법, 연구주제, 연구분야, 기술개발 등 도커 컨테이너 기반 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 연구 방향을 이끌어 갈 수 있는 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
