Exploring microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA regulatory interactions may give new insights into diverse biological phenomena. Recently, miRNAs have been discovered as important regulators that play a major role in various cellular processes. Therefore, it is essential to identify functional interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs for understanding the context- dependent activities of miRNAs in complex biological systems. While elucidating complex miRNA-mRNA interactions has been studied with experimental and computational approaches, it is still difficult to infer miRNA-mRNA regulatory modules. Here we present a novel method, termed layered hypernetworks (LHNs), for identifying functional miRNA-mRNA interactions from heterogeneous expression data. In experiments, we apply the LHN model to miRNA and mRNA expression profiles on multiple cancers. The proposed method identifies cancer-specific miRNA-mRNA interactions. We show the biological significance of the discovered miRNA- mRNA interactions.

In this paper, the network performance of a turbo coded optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system with cross-layer, which is between physical and network layers, concept is analyzed and simulated. We consider physical and MAC layers in a cross-layer concept. An intensity-modulated/direct-detection (IM/DD) optical system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) is considered. In order to increase the system performance, turbo codes composed of parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCCs) is utilized. The network performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BEP). From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity. Also, it is confirmed that the performance of such an optical CDMA network can be substantially improved by increasing e interleaver length and e number of iterations in e decoding process. The results of this paper can be applied to implement the indoor optical wireless LANs.

We consider a network storage model whose administrator can not be fully trusted. In this model, we assume that all data stored are encrypted for data confidentiality and one owner distributes the decryption key for each time period to users. In this paper, we propose three privilege management schemes. In the first scheme, called Temporal Privilege Management (TPM), we use a symmetric encryption based on one-way function chains for key encapsulation. In the second scheme, called Asymmetric Temporal Privilege Management (ATPM), anyone can encrypt the data using the public key of owner, but only privileged users can decrypt the encrypted data. Finally, we present a scheme to restrict writers' privilege using ID-based signatures in ATPM. In our schemes, the privilege managements are based on the time and the addition of users is efficient. Specially, applying TPM and ATPM, we can solve the back-issue problem.

Monitoring is used to see if a real-time system provides a service on time. The target of monitoring is not only an interior system but also a remote system which is located in the remote network. Monitoring needs data store to monitor data from each system. But a data store should be designed on the considerations of time constraints and data accessibility. In this paper, we present an architecture of XML-based data store and network delivery. XML-based data store is based on XML which is a standardized data format. So any platform which supports TCP/IP and HTTP can access data in the data store without any conversion. The XML-based delivery architecture is designed to reduce the time of data access and delivery. In addition, some experiments were tested to provide the timing guideline to be kept by a real-time system which uses the architecture presented in this paper. The architecture of XML-based data store and delivery designed in this paper can be used in the domains of remote real-time monitoring and control.

The Internet of Things (IoT) interconnects every device by allowing them to communicate directly and share information with each other and has been recently applied to various industrial fields. The integration of home appliances with IoT has led to the creation of new markets by providing quick and better experience to consumers. Although IoT has been integrated into most modern day appliances, there have been few developments for kitchen appliances. This paper presents the development of integrating IoT with the blender, one of the most widely used appliance in the kitchen. A custom application was made to interact with the blender that provides three main functions: digital controller, maintenance, and defrosting alarm. The function of digital controller provides wireless control to the conventional blender. The maintenance function detects and alerts the user on blender reliability with the intent of enabling the anticipation of hardware failures. The defrost alarm alerts the user when the ingredient has reached the appropriate and desired temperature when cooking frozen food.

Design of efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols with both high throughput performances is a major focus in distributed contention based MAC protocol research. In this paper, we propose an efficient contention based MAC protocol for wireless Local Area Networks, namely, the Developed Collision Resolution (DCR) algorithm. This algorithm is developed based on the following innovative ideas: to speed up the collision resolution, we actively redistribute the backoff timers for all active nodes; to reduce the average number of idle slots, we use smaller contention window sizes for nodes with successful packet transmissions and reduce the backoff timers exponentially fast when a fixed number of consecutive idle slots are detected. We show that the proposed DCR algorithm provides high throughput performance and low latency in wireless LANs.

A controlling system for airport refueling facilities is connected to sensors which collect various informations. Informations which are transmitted at a high speed in various sensors are processed by a dedicated software in the controlling system. The problems of system maintenance and network traffic caused by the use of dedicated software reduce the efficiency of the system operation. Therefore, a web-based system that can be accessed using the Internet environment is required. In this paper, we propose a system showing web-based real-time informations. To do this, we change the function of the communication by each sensor to a facade structure, and design a system for transferring web-based real-time informations. Also we propose data-driven infographics for displaying the real-time big data information at a high speed on the web. Finally, we compare and analyse the proposed system between the existing system and show that our system can effectively display the real-time information on the web.

Most of the study on fairness control method for Distributed-Queue Dual-Bus(DQDB) have been performed under specific load types such as equal probability load types or symmetric load types. On Web-based internet enviroments client-server load types are more practical traffic patlerns than specrfic load types. In this paper, an effiective fairness control method to distribute DQDR network bandwidth fairly to all stations under a client-server load is proposed. In order to implement a dynamic bandwidth timing capabihty needed to distribute the bandwidth fairty at heavy loads, the proposed method uses two pararnetexs, one is an access hrnit to legulate each station's packet transmission and the other is the number of extra emply slots that are yielded to downstream stations. In point of implementation this mechanism is simpler and easier than Bandwidth Tuning Mechanism(BTM) that uses an intermediate pattern and an adptation function. Simulation results show that it outperforms othen mecharusms.

In mobile ad hoc networks, most of on demand routing protocols such as DSR and AODV do not deal with traffic load during the route discovery procedure. To solve the congestion and achieve load balancing, many protocols have been proposed. However, the existing load balancing schemes has only considered avoiding the congested route in the route discovery procedure or finding an alternative route path during a communication session. To mitigate this problem, we have proposed a new scheme which considers the packet bursting mechanism in congested nodes. The proposed packet bursting scheme, which is originally introduced in IEEE 802.11e QoS specification, is to transmit multiple packets right after channel acquisition. Thus, congested nodes can forward buffered packets promptly and minimize bottleneck situation. Each node begins to transmit packets in normal mode whenever its congested status is dissolved. We also propose two threshold values to define exact overloaded status adaptively; one is interface queue length and the other is buffer occupancy time. Through an experimental simulation study, we have compared and contrasted our protocol with normal on demand routing protocols and showed that the proposed scheme is more efficient and effective especially when network traffic is heavily loaded.

With growing population of internet and web applications, distributed environment is considered to be the standard architecture of application. A network management systems(NMS) is necessary to control and monitor the complex network resources for providing and sharing the heft quality service. We recognize the NMS as a standard infrastructure for supporting efficient networking and a separate commercial applications. We believe every resource including software, hardware and environment for the network management should be separated from special protocols, vendors and applications. Therefore, We need a standard network management system that is efficient and consistent because of the heterogeous network features. In regards to software development, software reuse through assembling and extending the reusable elements such as patterns and components assures to realize the best productivity and quality The component based development(CBD) methodology that can assemble black box though well defined interfaces makes it possible to develop easer and quicker applications and is proved as the best software development solution involved in construction, selection and assembly of components. In this thesis, we describe the architecture for the network management and identify, define and design the components through analysis and design in the network management domain and Identified components mapped to the component architecture. We also specify the component development and design and implement the component for developing the network management. Implemented components apply to the component repository system that register, retrieve and understand the components. We analyze, design and implement the entire network management system based on configuration, connection, performance and fault management through the pre-developed components.
