In a society where ICT technology is converged, the use of various network-connected devices such as IoT is spreading. Network-connected devices are inevitably exposed to the threat of hacking such as information leakage, and countermeasures need to be prepared to respond. Security certification system for IoT devices has been introduced to promote security of IoT products, and for this purpose, legalization and standardization of certification standards and methods are in progress. In line with this, in Korea, as the Information and Communication Network Act was revised in 2020, ICT convergence devices connected to the network were newly defined as "information and communication network connected devices," and the basis for the security certification system is being established. We summarized related domestic and foreign trends and suggest specific considerations for implementing the security certification system for IoT devices in South Korea.

Web contents created for desktop screens give rise to problems when they are to be displayed on the small screens of mobile terminals. While in some cases some of the objects of a page may not be displayable due to the lack of browser capability, the entire page may not be displayable due to the incompatibility with the browser in other cases. In this paper, we introduce a new mobile content adaptation approach based on web clipping, which transforms an original page into one that is optimally displayed on a mobile terminal. In this method, a source page is automatically clipped and transformed according to the clip specification made by the content provider using a clip editing tool. The clip editing tool allows the user to specify group clips, multi-level cups and dynamic clips as well as simple clips, and the presentation layout through a graphic user interface. Based on the clip specifications, each clip is transformed into an intermediate meta-language document, which in turn is transformed into a presentation page in the target markup language. Transcoding of image objects in major image file formats is also supported.

Since the end devices of the Internet of Things (IoT) are battery operated products, careful consideration for ultra-low power (ULP) is required. The Micro Controller Unit (MCU) industry has developed very effective functions to save energy, but developers have difficulty in selecting the MCU because various operating modes are applied to reduce energy consumption by manufacturers. Therefore, this paper introduces ULPMark benchmark, a standardized benchmark method that can compare MCUs of various vendors and feature sets, and provides hardware functions for ultra-low-power operation of the two platforms that received the high evaluation scores from ULPMark. In addition, we investigated and analyzed how developers can utilize the functions for ultra low power consumption through driver APIs and detailed register control.

This paper presents a new striped checkpointing scheme for serverless cluster computers, where the local disks are attached to the cluster nodes collectively form a distributed RAID with a single I/O space. Striping enables parallel I/O on the distributed disks and staggering avoids network bottleneck in the distributed RAID. We demonstrate how to reduce the checkpointing overhead and increase the availability by striping and staggering dynamically for communication intensive applications. Linpack HPC Benchamark and MPI programs are applied to these checkpointing schemes for performance evaluation on the 16-nodes cluster system. Benchmark results prove the benefits of the striped checkpointing scheme compare to the existing schemes, and these results are useful to design the efficient checkpointing scheme for fast rollback recovery from any single node failure in a cluster system.

In a single frequency network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using the same frequency are inevitable. Since the presence of interferences results in performance degradation of the SFN, it is crucial to manipulate the interferences by adjusting the transmit power and timing of each transmitter and repeater. In the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, in order to facilitate the interference manipulation process, a transmitter identification (TxID) signal which is uniquely embedded in the signal to be transmitted from each transmitter and repeater is recommended. Even though the injection level of the TxID signal is much lower than the DTV signal, the TxID signal injection infects the DTV signal. Hence, the effect of the TxID signal on the DTV signal must be investigated before deployment. In this paper, the effect of the TxID signal on the performance of legacy DTV receivers under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channel environments is investigated not only with computer simulation but also with laboratory and field tests. The test results show that the average threshold of visibility degradation of the legacy DTV receivers due to the TxID signal injection is less than 0.2 dB at the TxID injection level of -30 dB.

The checkpointing schemes should reduce the process delay through managing the checkpoints of each node to fit the network load to enhance the performance of the process running on the cluster system that write the checkpoints into its global stable storage. For this reason, a cluster system with single IO space on a distributed RAID chooses a suitable checkpointng scheme to get the maximum IO performance and the best rollback recovery efficiency. In this paper, we improved the striped checkpointing scheme with dynamic stripe group size by adapting to the network bandwidth variation at the point of checkpointing. To analyze the performance of the multi striped checkpointing scheme, we applied Linpack HPC benchmark with MPI on our own cluster system with maximum 512 virtual nodes. The benchmark results showed that the multistriped checkpointing scheme has better performance than the striped checkpointing scheme on the checkpoint writing efficiency and rollback recovery at heavy system load.

This paper proposes an energy-efficient cache and memory management scheme for next-generation IoT devices. The proposed scheme adopts a low-power phase-change memory (PCM) as the main memory of IoT devices, aims at minimizing the write traffic to PCM, which is vulnerable to write operations. Specifically, when a cache block of the last-level cache memory is flushed to main memory, the cache block that causes less writes to PCM is preferentially replaced by tracking the modifications of each cache line that constitutes the cache block. In addition, by considering the reference bit of the cache block and the dirty bit of the cache lines, our scheme reduces the energy consumption without degrading the memory system performances. Through simulations using SPEC benchmarks, it is shown that the proposed scheme reduces the write traffic to PCM by 34.6% on average and the power consumption by 28.9%, without memory performance degradations.

In this paper, the performance of multicore processor architecture is analyzed which utilizes out-of-order superscalar processor core using multiple basic block execution. Using SPEC 2000 benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed for the out-of-order superscalar processor with the window size from 32 to 64 and the number of cores between 1 and 16, exploiting multiple basic block execution from 1 to 4 extensively. As a result, the multicore out-of-order superscalar processor with 4 basic block execution achieves 22.0 % average performance increase over the same architecture with the single basic block execution.

The facility location problem is one of the traditional optimization problems. In this paper, we deal with the single source capacitated facility location problem (SSCFLP) and it is known as an NP-hard problem. Thus, it seems to be natural to use a heuristic approach such as evolutionary algorithms for solving the SSCFLP. This paper introduces a new efficient evolutionary algorithm for the SSCFLP. The proposed algorithm is devised by incorporating a general adaptive link adjustment evolutionary algorithm and three heuristic local search methods. Finally we compare the proposed algorithm with the previous algorithms and show the proposed algorithm finds optimum solutions at almost all middle size test instances and very stable solutions at larger size test instances.
