Mobile cloud computing is a technology that uses cloud services to overcome resource constrains of a mobile device, and it applies the computation offloading scheme to transfer a portion of a task which should be executed from a mobile device to the cloud. If the communication cost of the computation offloading is less than the computation cost of a mobile device, the mobile device commits a certain task to the cloud. The previous cost analysis models, which were used for separating functions running on a mobile device and functions transferring to the cloud, only considered the amount of data transfer and response time as the offloading cost. In this paper, we proposed a new task partitioning scheme that considers the frequency of function calls and data synchronization, during the cost estimation of the computation offloading. We also verified the energy efficiency of the proposed scheme by using experimental results.

It is important to speed up the loading time of web applications. Parsing is a loading process that contributes to an increased loading time. To address this issue, the optimization called Concurrent Parsing has been proposed which handles the parsing process in parallel by using additional threads. However, Concurrent Parsing has a limitation that it does not consider the priority order of parsing. In this paper, we propose heuristics that exploit priorities of parsing to improve the Concurrent Parsing. For parsing priority, we empirically investigate the sequence of function calls, classify functions into 3 categories, and extract function call probabilities. If a function has high call probability, we give a high priority and if a function has low probability, we give a low priority. We evaluate this priority heuristics on real web applications and get the 2.6% decrease of loading time on average.

Nowadays, mobile computing has become a common computing paradigm that provides convenience to people's daily life. More and more useful mobile applications' appearance makes it possible for a user to manage personal schedule, enjoy entertainment, and do many useful activities. However, there are some inherent defects in a mobile device that battery constraints and bandwidth limitations. These drawbacks get a user into troubles when to run computationally intensive applications. As a remedy scheme, component offloading makes room for handling mentioned issues via migrating computationally intensive component to the cloud server. In this paper, we will present the predictive offloading method for efficient mobile cloud computing. At last, we will present experiment result for validating applicability and practicability of our proposal.

With the advent of smartphones, people can access various information through the internet anytime and anywhere. Even in the vehicle environment, users can use the internet. Users interact with web and applications every day and get information. However, as the amount of data to be processed by the program increases, users inevitably receive a message to wait. User waiting is an inconvenient experience, but minimizing user waiting is the best way because there is time required for data processing. However, if the service processing time exceeds the expected time, users experience more severe boredom and pain. Therefore, various methods and researches are being conducted to alleviate the boredom of user waiting. The most commonly used method to alleviate user waiting boredom is loading. In this study, we investigated the effect of skeleton loading, the latest loading technique, on user waiting experience, and how attractive it is as a design technique in terms of UI compared to other loading techniques.

This paper investigates the influence of hydrogen loading process on the radiation sensitivity of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). We made the FBG inscribed in the same commercial Ge-doped fiber with different hydrogen loading periods. We measured the Bragg wavelength shift (BWS) of the FBG exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of 18 kGy, and evaluated the change of full width at half maximum (FWHM) and the FBG temperature sensitivity coefficient after irradiation. Varying hydrogen loading parameter led to BWS differences up to nearly a factor of two.

In this paper, we designed a loading sleeve monopole operating at PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands using the structure of the broadband loading sleeve monopole. The length of the designed antenna is lower than that of the helical antenna coupled with a whip used in commercial PCS handsets. The length and diameter of the designed antenna are 38 mm and 8 mm, respectively. The designed loading sleeve monopole is fabricated and investigated experimently. The VSWR is less than 1.5 in the PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands(1750 MHz~2170 MHz) and gain is 3.5 dBi.

The burst loading of a pre-created cache-image is an effective method to reduce the instruction cache misses in the early stage of the program execution. It is useful to alleviate the performance degradation as well as the energy inefficiency, which is induced by the concentrated cold misses at the instruction cache. However, there are some defects, including software overhead on the compiler and installer. Furthermore, there are several mismatches as a result of the dynamic properties for specific applications. This paper addresses these issues and proposes a cache-image maintenance/recreation policy that can conduct dynamic management using a hardware-assisted method. The results of the simulation show that the proposed method can maintain the cache-image with a proper size and validity.

최근 무선 인터넷 서비스의 활성화와 함께 모바일 환경에서 브라우저의 사용이 급증하고 있으며, 모바일 사용자들은 PC 수준의 품질을 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라 모바일 웹브라우저도 WAP 방식이 아닌 풀브라우징(full browsing) 방식으로 전환되고 있다. 하지만, 모바일 단말 환경에서 웹브라우저의 성능에는 많은 제약사항이 존재하며, 부족한 메모리, 저 사양의 CPU, 낮은 네트워크 속도, 그리고 브라우저의 엔진 문제 등으로 인해 여전히 사용자들의 브라우저 로딩에 대한 체감 속도는 낮은 편이다. 본 논문에서는 저사양 휴대 단말 환경에서의 브라우저 로딩 속도를 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 제안 방식에서는 텍스트와 이미지 등 데이터 타입을 분류하여 부하가 적게 걸리는 텍스트 레이아웃을 먼저 보여줌으로써 사용자의 체감속도를 향상시키고, 아울러 이미지가 커서 렌더링(rendering) 시간이 오래 걸리는 경우 이미지를 축소하거나 화질을 낮추는 방식으로 렌더링 부하를 줄여서 페이지 로딩 시간을 단축시키는 방법을 사용한다. 실험 결과, 제안 기법을 사용하는 경우 현재 사용하는 방법에 비해 이미지가 적은 Web 페이지의 경우 1st drawing 77.04%, full drawing 5.47%, 이미지가 많은 페이지의 경우 26.32%의 로딩 시간을 단축시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

모바일 엣지 컴퓨팅(Mobile Edge Computing, MEC)은 높은 컴퓨팅 성능을 요구하는 작업을 모바일 장치에서 가까운 MEC 서버로 오프로딩함으로써 모바일 서비스에 높은 계산 요구량을 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 기술로 부상하였다. 본 논문에서는 실행 대기 시간과 장치 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 여러 가지의 독립적 작업을 통해 MEC 시스템에 대한 작업 오프로드 일정 및 전송 에너지 할당을 최적화하는 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로 MEC 시스템에서 사용 가능한 무선 및 계산 리소스가 상대적으로 균형 잡혀있는 경우 작업 오프로딩 일정이 더 중요하다는 것을 확인했다.
