As Internet is being widely used as an infra of distributed applications, the most of today's softwares are changing into Internet-based distributed applications. The development methods using the middleware, like CORBA ORB, make the development of the web-based software easy. However, the performance verification method useful for an optimized software distribution is not provided at software development. Additionally, monitoring methods and metrics for dynamic load-balancing are not presented at run-time. This paper presents the method to monitor the message between objects, load metric, and metrics for load-balancing. To calculate a load of a node, we define events occurred between applications, time between the events, then extract the data related to a load. And we derive formula calculating the load from the extracted data. Then using the formula, we present the metrics for dynamic load-balancing. Moreover, we observe the utilization and efficiency of the monitoring algorithm, load metric, and load-balancing metrics.

네트워크 및 분산 처리 기술의 발달로 분산 환경에서 동작하는 응용 프로그램에 대한 생산성 향상이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MVC(Model, View, Controller) 패턴을 기반으로 하는 분산 응용 프로그램의 생산성 향상을 위해, 조립식 분산 응용의 작성을 지원하는 분산 객체 조립기, DOC(Distributed Object Composer)를 소개한다. 분산 객체 조립성의 기반이 되는 DOC의 구성적{{) '전체'를 창조해 내기 위해 여러 요소들을 결합, 배치하여 하나의 예술작품을 성립시키는 방법. 모아서 조립한다는 의미.}} 인터페이스(Structural Interface)는 기존 객체지향 기술의 절차적 인터페이스(Procedural Interface)에 비해 콤포넌트 재사용성을 개선하고, 분산 응용의 신속한 개발을 지원하여, 소프트웨어의 생산성 및 확장성을 향상시킨다. 또한, DOC 방식으로 모델링하고 구현한 공급망 관리(Supply Chain Management: SCM) 응용 프로그램의 조립식 작성을 통해, DOC의 실시간 정보 처리 및 조립 기능을 보인다.DOC는 이질적인 통신 환경에서 클라이언트와 서버 객체간의 네트워크 투과성을 제공하는 미들웨어, CORBA를 기반으로 한다. 또한, 분산 객체들 간의 상호작용을 자동 처리하기 위해 Java의 관찰자/피관찰자(Observer/Observable)를 확장한 분산 관찰자/피관찰자 패턴을 정의하여 DOC와, 서버 및 클라이언트의 분산 응용 객체들을 정의하기 위한 인터페이스에 적용한다.Abstract Due to the availability of advances in network and distributed processing technologies, the enhanced productivity of application software that runs on distributed environment is demanded. In this paper, we introduce the Distributed Object Composer (DOC) that supports the structural composition of distributed applications for the enhanced productivity of MVC (Model, View, Controller) pattern-based application programs. The structural interface of DOC that is the basis for the composibility of distributed objects increases the reusability of software components and provides better software productivity and extendibility than the procedural interface of the traditional object-oriented technology by supporting rapid constructions of distributed applications. In this paper, we also discuss the real-time information processing and composibility features of DOC by applying the DOC mechanism to the Supply Chain Management (SCM) application.DOC is implemented using the CORBA middleware that supports the network transparency between client and server objects on heterogeneous communication environments. We apply the distributed Observer/Observable pattern that extends the Observer/Obseverable of Java to DOC itself and distributed client/server objects as their interface definitions for the automatic interactions of distributed objects.

The traditional distributed object middleware platform is not suitable for the transmission of stream data, because RPC(Remote Procedure Call)-based message transmission have a great overhead. Therefore, the OMG(Object Management Group) proposes the AV(Audio and Video) stream reference model for streaming on the distributed object middleware platform. But, this reference model has not a detail of implementation. Particularly it also has not congestion control scheme for improvement of network efficiency on the real network environment. It is a very important and difficult technical issue to provide the stream transmission platform with advanced congestion control scheme. In this paper, we propose an architecture of a distributed stream transport platform and deal with the design and implementation concept of our proposed platform. Also, we present a mechanism to improve streaming utilization by SRTP(Smart RTP). SRTP is our proposed TCP-Friendly scheme.

최근 인터넷 이용이 증가하면서 원격 교육자료, 전자상거래용 자료 등 여러 이용자가 사용하는 자료를 하나의 서버가 아니라 분산된 형태로 나누어 관리하는 것이 통신량을 줄이기 위해 점차 중요시되고 있다. 특히 멀티미디어 자료는 데이터 량이 많으므로 이용자에게 가까운 서버에 분산 관리하는 것이 더욱 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CORBA 표준을 따르는 미들웨어를 사용하여 인터넷으로 상호 연결된 임의의 시스템에 자료를 분산 관리할 수 있는 분산형 자료 관리 시스템 DDM(Distributed Data Manager)을 구축하였다. DDM은 크게 나누어 사용자 관리, 데이터 관리, 시스템 상태 관리 기능을 제공하며 단순히 분산 자료의 위치만을 관리하는 것이 아니라, 자료를 종류별 또는 용도별로 통합된 category를 관리한다. DDM은 분산 자료의 통합관리와 시스템 상태 관리를 위해서 주 에이전트(Primary Agent, 이하 PA)와, 이용자에게 직접 서비스를 제공하는 보조 에이전트(Local Agent, 이하 LA)를 중심으로 구성된다. DDM은 모든 자료에 대한 현재 상태를 관리하는데, 자료의 등록, 수정, 삭제 등의 요구가 보조 에이전트를 통하여 실시간으로 이루어지며 자료의 통합 관리와 백업 관리는 주 에이전트가 담당한다. 한편 DDM는 자바와 JDBC를 사용하여 구축함으로써 임의의 플랫폼과 데이터베이스를 이용할 수 있게 하였다.

Recently, in the distributed multimedia environments based on internet, as radical growing technologies, the most of researchers focus on both streaming technology and distributed object thchnology, Specially, the studies which are tried to integrate the streaming services on the distributed object technology have been progressing. These technologies are applied to various stream service mamgements and protocols. However, the stream service management mexlels which are being proposed by the existing researches are insufficient for suporting the QoS of stream services. Besides, the existing models have the problems that cannot support the extensibility and the reusability, when the QoS-reiatedfunctions are being developed as a sub-module which is suited on the specific-purpose application services. For solving these problems, in this paper. we suggested a QoS Integrated platform which can extend and reuse using the distributed object technologies, and guarantee the QoS of the stream services. A structure of platform we suggested consists of three components such as User Control Module(UCM), QoS Management Module(QoSM) and Stream Object. Stream Object has Send/Receive operations for transmitting the RTP packets over TCP/IP. User Control ModuleI(UCM) controls Stream Objects via the COREA service objects. QoS Management Modulel(QoSM) has the functions which maintain the QoS of stream service between the UCMs in client and server. As QoS control methexlologies, procedures of resource monitoring, negotiation, and resource adaptation are executed via the interactions among these comiXments mentioned above. For constmcting this QoS integrated platform, we first implemented the modules mentioned above independently, and then, used IDL for defining interfaces among these mexlules so that can support platform independence, interoperability and portability base on COREA. This platform is constructed using OrbixWeb 3.1c following CORBA specification on Solaris 2.5/2.7, Java language, Java, Java Media Framework API 2.0, Mini-SQL1.0.16 and multimedia equipments. As results for verifying this platform functionally, we showed executing results of each module we mentioned above, and a numerical data obtained from QoS control procedures on client and server's GUI, while stream service is executing on our platform.

This paper proposes the U-healtcare middleware that is based on mininumCORBA. Ubiquitous healthcare system is generated by combining the technologies of computer system and medical system. This makes available that the person can receive medical treatment anywhere, anytime at on-line. The Healthcare devices are connected to network system as wire or wireless internet. So, the computer system can gather the vital information from the person at the real time and transfers the information to the server system that processes the medical information. When a medical doctor makes a diagnosis they can get more information about the patient by using the information within the server. Users would like to receive more services in the ubiquitous healthcare system than the traditional medical system. And in U-healthcare system, every healthcare devices and the users have to be connected to network system and the information from them has to be integrated. U-Home Healthcare middleware I proposed in this paper will do everything that I mentioned above.

The IEEE1394 is a favorable protocol for A/V networks recently in home and there are two types of transmission in this protocol which are asynchronous and isochronous. The more nodes participate in the IEEE1394 network, the more problems of resource exhaustion and connection repetition may occur. So this paper proposes a middleware for isochronous connection management and reliable multimedia data transmission in the IEEE1394-IEC61883 based home networks. In this paper, proposed middleware is supporting the various types of isochronous connection, guaranteeing the reliability of isochronous connection and providing the characteristic of a real-time data transmission. We support CORBA API for multimedia service and the proposed architecture was implemented using a test-bed and we verified the proposed architecture in a test-bed.
