Recently, the types and amount of data generated, collected, and measured in IoT such as smart home, security, and factory are increasing. The technologies for IoT service include sensor devices to measure desired data, embedded software to control the devices such as signal processing, wireless network protocol to transmit and receive the measured data, and big data and AI-based analysis. In this paper, we focused on developing a gateway for interfacing heterogeneous sensor network protocols that are used in various IoT devices and propose a heterogeneous network interface IoT gateway. We utilized a OpenWrt-based wireless routers and used 6LoWAN stack for IP-based communication via BLE and IEEE 802.15.4 adapters. We developed a software to convert Z-Wave and LoRa packets into IP packet using our Python-based middleware. We expect the IoT gateway to be used as an effective device for collecting IoT big data.

iSCSI(Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a block-oriented storage access protocol that enables a user to recognize a remote storage as their own local block device through general TCP/IP networks. Since iSCSI uses a standard ethernet switch and router for this kind of access, it can not only be applied to ethernet technologies, but can also be used to create a storage networking system without any distance restrictions that can equally be applied to a wireless network environment. Accordingly, focusing on this applicability, this paper presents an alternative approach to overcome the limited storage space of mobile devices based on the iSCSI initiator driver, which was originally designed for wired networks. Additionally, its potential with a wireless network is also evaluated.

Unlike traditional factory environment, in an industrial factory network applied wireless sensor network technologies, all procedures of discovery, identification and verification of devices should be performed in an automatic fashion. To address these challenges, we design a management system using the device registry server that we propose in this paper. In the phase of device discovery, the proposed system utilizes properties of routing protocol running in factories. Also, in the phase of identification and verification, the system uses unique and general information of a device stored within the device registration server. Such a way allows management system to reduce implementation complexity and to easily manage devices in a factory applied with a wireless network consisting of heterogeneous devices.

클라우드 컴퓨팅이란 인터넷 기술을 활용하여 모든 인프라 자원(소프트웨어, 서버, 스토리지, 네트워크 등)을 서비스화(as a Service)하여, 언제, 어디서든, 장치에 독립적으로 네트워크를 통해 사용하고, 사용한 만큼 비용을 지불하는 컴퓨팅으로써, 대표적인 서비스 업체로는 구글과 아마존이 있다. 최근 아파치 재단에서는 구글의 GFS와 동일 또는 유사한 시스템을 만들기 위해 HDFS 오픈소스 프로젝트를 진행하고 있다. HDFS는 빈번한 하드웨어 고장에도 원본 데이터를 복구할 수 있는 가용성을 보장하기 위해 파일 데이터를 블록 단위로 나누어, 다시 datanode에 복제하여 저장한다. 이 기법은 복제가 많아 질수록 가용성은 높아지나 스토리지가 증가한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 행렬의 특성을 이용한 새로운 분산 저장 기법을 제안한다.

최근 인터넷의 발달과 더불어, 멀티미디어 네트워크 서비스가 크게 활성화됨에 따라서 해당 정보를 저장하는 저장 장치의 크기가 기하급수적으로 늘고 있으며, 서버에서의 전력 소모 문제가 큰 이슈로 대두되었다. 서버 구성 요소 중에 디스크와 같은 저장장치가 전력 소모에 큰 부분을 차지하고 있으며, 이를 감소시키기 위해 디스크는 여러 모드를 지원하며, 그 중 저전력 모드에서 소비되는 전력이 다른 모드에 비해서 훨씬 적다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 비디오 서버에서 최대한 많은 디스크를 저전력 모드로 동작하게 하는 캐슁(caching) 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 클러스터 별로 캐쉬를 할당하여, 할당된 캐쉬 크기에 따라서 각 클러스터에서 소모되는 디스크 이용률과 전력을 분석한다. 이에 기반하여, 전체 클러스터에서 소모되는 전력을 최소화하는 새로운 캐슁 알고리즘을 제안하며 시뮬레이션을 통해 해당 기법의 효용성을 분석한다.

전통의 자기 디스크 형태 저장 장치로의 접근 지연 시간을 줄이고자, 최근에 서로 네트워크로 연결된 컴퓨터간의 메모리 자원들을 파일을 저장하는 장치로써 활용해 볼 수 있는 가상 장치(Network RamDisk)가 개발되었다. 이 시스템은 메모리 공간을 제공해 주는 서버의 노드들이 패리티 그룹(parity group)을 이루는 일종의 software RAID 시스템으로 한 서버의 노드 crash 에 대해 대응하는 것을 고려하지 않아 제 이의 서버가 노드 crash, 프로세스 crash 혹은 데이터 손실을 발생시키면 완전히 데이터를 잃어버리는, 신뢰성이 낮은 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 클라이언트가 서버측의 노드 crash를 적절히 감지하고 새로운 서버로 fail over 할 수 있는 여러 가지 기법들을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한 서버 풀(server pool)이라는 가상의 공간을 따로 관리하여 서버들에 대한 메모리 자원 요구 부하를 균등히 분산 시키는 효과도 얻도록 하였다.

The multi-level storage architecture has been widely adopted in servers and data centers. However, while prefetching has been shown as a crucial technique to exploit sequentiality in accesses common for such systems and hide the increasing relative cost of disk I/O, existing multi-level storage studies have focused mostly on cache replacement strategies. In this paper, we show that prefetching algorithms designed for single-level systems may have their limitations magnified when applied to multi-level systems. Overly conservative prefetching will not be able to effectively use the lower-level cache space, while overly aggressive prefetching will be compounded across levels and generate large amounts of wasted prefetch. We design and implement a hierarchy-aware lower-level prefetching strategy called PMS(Prefetching strategy for Multi-level Storage system) that applicable to any upper level prefetching algorithms. PMS does not require any application hints, a priori knowledge from the application or modification to the va interface. Instead, it monitors the upper-level access patterns as well as the lower-level cache status, and dynamically adjusts the aggressiveness of the lower-level prefetching activities. We evaluated the PMS through extensive simulation studies using a verified multi-level storage simulator, an accurate disk simulator, and access traces with different access patterns. Our results indicate that PMS dynamically controls aggressiveness of lower-level prefetching in reaction to multiple system and workload parameters, improving the overall system performance in all 32 test cases. Working with four well-known existing prefetching algorithms adopted in real systems, PMS obtains an improvement of up to 35% for the average request response time, with an average improvement of 16.56% over all cases.

In this paper, we propose a method for efficient use of energy when using flash device in WSN environment. Typical Flash devices have a drawback to be an energy efficient storage media in the energy-constrained WSNs due to the high standby energy. An energy efficient approach to deploy Flash devices into WSNs is simply turning the Flash device off whenever idle. In this regard, we make the simple but ideal approach realistic by removing these two obstacles by exploiting nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM), which is an emerging memory technology that provides both non-volatility and byte-addressability. Specifically, we make use of NVRAM as an extension of metadata storage to remove the FTL metadata scanning process that mainly incurs the two obstacles. Through the implementation and evaluation in a real system environment, we verify that significant energy savings without sacrificing I/O performance are feasible in WSNs by turning off the Flash device exploiting NVRAM whenever it becomes idle. Experimental results show that the proposed method consumes only about 1.087% energy compared to the conventional storage device.

In the near future, people will wish to access many kinds of heterogeneous networks to use their services anytime and anywhere. Owing to the heterogeneity of networks, there must be many kinds of protocols to guarantee secure services. The mobile device can depend in a middleware for accessing services in the heterogeneous networks and the middleware helps the mobile device to communicate with services without blowing concrete protocols. If a secure channel is necessary, the middleware may access a private key in the mobile device to perform a security protocol. In this paper, we focus on the security of a private key in the mobile device against malicious middlewares. To do so, we introduce two models for a user to protect his/her private key against malicious middlewares by generating authentication data(e.g., digital signatures) without keeping the private key in the mobile device.
