Recently, parallel processing methods with accelerator have been introduced into a high performance computing and a mobile computing. The photomosaic application can be parallelized by using inherent data parallelism and accelerator. In this paper, we propose a way to distribute the workload of the photomosaic application into a CPU and GPU heterogeneous computing environment. That is, the photomosaic application is parallelized using both CPU and GPU resource with the asynchronous mode of OpenCL, and then the optimal workload distribution rate is estimated by measuring the execution time with CPU-only and GPU-only distribution rates. The proposed approach is simple but very effective, and can be applied to parallelize other applications on a CPU and GPU heterogeneous computing environment. Based on the experimental results, we confirm that the performance is improved by 141% into a heterogeneous computing environment with the optimal workload distribution compared with using GPU-only method.

Based on Smart Phone, this study added and implemented the mobile App to the existing IT agriculture system, which system automatically controlled green house's growth environment. Because the mobile App characterfully possesses high portability, limited resource, mobile wireless network support, enterprise mobile computing support, etc., the hybrid-App should be inevitably adopted. The hybrid App can minimize resource consumption for performing related duties and also, in spite of the mobile device's limits, it can derive high performance, in which facts the system can ensure the service-based architecture's reliance and also, implements the highly sophisticated functionality as well. Through the proposed system, the study expects to contribute to improve quality of life as well as to increase farmer's income through IT-based agriculture system development.

Nowadays, mobile users have a huge amount of multimedia contents and can use these contents anytime, anywhere by advance in computer and network techniques. However, users spend too much time for searching and managing these contents in web and local file system. Expecially, small and uncomfortable user interfaces of mobile devices make it difficult to search and manage multimedia contents. Therefore, an intelligent multimedia contents management technique is needed to use these contents more efficiently. In this paper, we propose a Personalized Mobile Multimedia Contents Provider (PMMCP) System which provides personalized multimedia contents based on users' psychological patterns and situations.

최근 모바일 환경에서 모바일 기기가 결항에 쉽게 노출될 수 있다는 특성 때문에 모바일 컴퓨팅 시스템에서의 결함 허용에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 결함 허용을 제공하기 위한 기법 중 하나로 체크포인팅을 들 수 있는데, 이를 모바일 환경에 적용하기 위해서는 체크포인트의 실행으로 인해 모바일 기기에 가해지는 과부하를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각각의 프로세스가 독립적으로 실행하는 BASIC 체크포인트를 없앰으로써 과부하를 줄이기 위한 체크포인팅 기법을 제안한다.

Recently, with the development of wireless communications and GIS, interest about mobile computing is rising. In this case, the GIS needs to be placed in a constricted environment than the environment of server computing. For this reason large amounts of spatial data must be compressed into the mobile device. The compression technique of the spatial data is difficult and must be processed in the correct order because the size of the data is unpredictable. Therefore, in this paper, the cell-based compression technique of the spatial data for mobile GIS is presented. This paper includes the process of transformation of spatial data from a certain server to a mobile device by cell-based compression technique. In this paper, the cell-based compression technique of the spatial data has been proven practically efficient.

커넥티드카는 네트워크에 연결된 자동차가 다른 자동차 및 도로 인프라뿐만 아니라 스마트 디바이스와 통신하고 여러 소스로부터 실시간 데이터를 수집하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 것이다. 커넥티드카의 등장으로 인해서 자동차와 클라우드 서비스의 결합이 빠르게 진행되고 있으나 자동차 데이터 중 실시간 처리가 필수인 데이터가 많다는 특성이 있다. 그러므로 멀리 떨어진 중앙 집중식 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 클라우드 컴퓨팅보다 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 디바이스와 가까운 가장자리에 위치한 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 엣지 컴퓨팅이 커넥티드카의 실시간성을 보장하는 기술로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 엣지 컴퓨팅과는 달리, 이동성이 있는 모바일 엣지 컴퓨팅(MEC) 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 요소를 찾아 원인을 분석하고 평가해 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 먼저, MEC 환경을 구축한 후 오픈 소스 시뮬레이터인 Edge Cloudsim 에 적용시켜 시뮬레이션을 한다. 실험 결과 MEC 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 원인은 모바일 디바이스의 태스크가 오프로딩 되거나 응답을 받기 전 WLAN 의 범위를 벗어났을 때 Task Failure가 발생하기 때문임이 증명되었다.

Augmentative and alternative communication(AAC) is a communication tool for those with impairments or restrictions on the production or comprehension of spoken language. Traditional AAC has used a portable board with pictures and texts with which disabled person could be supported by it. Currently, smart phone based AAC researches and developments are actively studying. With emerging concepts of context-aware computing, the mobile devices can provide mobile users with timely information and location based services. We proposed a adjustable AAC system for disabled people of which has variable layouts and selectable items. We also implemented context-ware application for AAC systems including time, location and click count informations on smart phone. The system can adaptively change its layout and select AAC items depending on various situation of disabled persons.

Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)은 무선 기지국에 분산 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 적용하여 다양한 서비스와 캐싱 콘텐츠를 이용자 단말에 가까이 전개함으로써 모바일 코어망의 혼잡을 완화하고, 새로운 로컬 서비스를 창출하는 기술이다. 현재는 European Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI)주도로 규격 작업이 진행되고 있으며, 동시에 산업계에서는 LTE 모바일 네트워크에 적용하는 시도들이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 MEC기술은 Software Defined Network(SDN)/Network Functions Virtualization(NFV) 기술들과 함께 향후 2020년대에 도입될 5G 네트워크의 주요 구성 기술로서 부상하고 있다. 본고에서는 MEC의 개념과 다양한 서비스 시나리오, MEC 플랫폼 구조 및 기술동향 등을 살펴보고, 5G에서의 역할과 앞으로 도전하여야 할 기술적인 과제들에 대하여 분석한다.

Recently, community computing has been proposed for group formation and group decision-making. However, legacy community computing systems do not support group need identification for ad hoc group formation, which would be one of key features of ubiquitous decision support systems and services. Hence, this paper aims to provide a multi-agent based methodology to enable nomadic community computing which supports ad hoc need identification and group formation. Focusing on supporting group decision-making of relatively small sized multiple individual in a community, the methodology copes with the following three characteristics: (1) ad hoc group formation, (2) context-aware group need identification and (3) using mobile devices working in- and out-doors. NAMA-US, an RFID-based prototype system has been developed to show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper.
