Recently, GPU cloud computing technology applying GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) devices to virtual machines is widely used in the cloud environment. In a cloud environment, GPU devices assigned to virtual machines can perform operations faster than CPUs through massively parallel processing, which can provide many benefits when operating high-performance computing services in a variety of fields in a cloud environment. In a cloud environment, a GPU device can help improve the performance of a virtual machine, but the virtual machine scheduler, which is based on the CPU usage time of a virtual machine, does not take into account GPU device usage time, affecting the performance of other virtual machines. In this paper, we test and analyze the performance degradation of other virtual machines due to the virtual machine that performs GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) task in the direct path based GPU virtualization environment, which is often used when assigning GPUs to virtual machines in cloud environments. Then to solve this problem, we propose a GPGPU task management method for a virtual machine.

CANopen which is one of the in-vehicle network (IVN) protocols is adopted to solve the hardware dependency problem of the CAN-based application. CANopen makes different CAN devices interoperable each others. By the advantage of the device profiling concept, it can make the period of developing CAN-based application system shorten. The utilization of CANopen network must be reduced to improve the communication performance (e.g. worst-case response time). For reducing network utilization, messages need to be packed as many as possible so that message frame overhead can be decreased. In this paper, we suggested a PDO packing mechanism using object dictionary (OD) and process data object (PDO) communication service in CANopen. Through experiments, the performance of the mechanism is evaluated with SAE benchmark. As a result, network utilization is decreased about 10% compared to the result of the previous works.

With the development of Internet communication and the use of a variety of online services has been greatly expanded. Therefore, the importance of authentication techniques for users of online services has increased. The most commonly used methods for user authentication is a technique that utilizes a prearranged password. However, the existing password scheme for authentication must use the same password every time. Therefore, the password being leaked by attackers, it can be used maliciously. In this paper, we proposed the Variable Password Generation Method in Internet Authentication System that generates a new password using information such as the access date, time, and IP address when user logs in. The method proposed in this paper prevents disclosure of personal information due to password exposure and improves the reliability and competitiveness in the field of security systems.

Video-On-demand system provides electronic video rental services from remote video servers on a broadband communication networks. When we assume some situation that serve the same video stream by batching, each time single video stream became available at server-end side, we face the problem that what video stream to be scheduled at what time instant. Hence, in order to manage the resource bandwidth which is different at each stream, the policy of channel allocation became important factor. In this work, we proposed three type of scheduling policies with queueing, as are cumulative Waiting Time(CWT), Mean Waiting Time(MWT) and Predictable Popular Factor(PPF). While CWT policy is good for popular video, MWT policy was good for non-popular video. Also, we know that PPT policy has some fairness for average wait time and reneging rate of user requests.

Geocasting, a variant of the conventional multicasting problem, is one of communication type in which the data packets are delivered to a group of all nodes within a specified geographical region (i.e., the geocasting region) and is called location-based multicasting(LBM)(l). An Ad-hoc network is a dynamically reconfigurable and temporary wireless network where all mobile devices using batteries as energy resources cooperatively maintain network connectivity without central administration or the assistance of base stations. Consequently, the technique to efficiently consume the limited amounts of energy resources is an important problem so that the system lifetime is maximized. In this paper, we propose a LBPA(Location-Based Power Aware) geocasting algorithm that selects energy-aware neighbor to route a packet towards the target region In Ad-hoc network environments. The method Is such that the energy consumption is balanced among the nodes in proportion to their energy reserves. Through the simulations, the proposed LBPA algorithm shows better results, that is, as good as 40% on the average over the conventional LBM algorithm in terms of the network lifetime.

IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN(WLAN) is being widely used in public space such as airport, and increases the networking boundary in campus and enterprise, and it has lastly attracted considerable attention for mesh network and converged network with other 3G mobile communication networks. In WLAN, load balancing among Access Points(AP) is an important issue for efficient resource management or supporting the Quality of Service(QoS) of traffic, but most researches focused on the AP selection in network entry or roaming of Stations(STA). In this paper, we propose an AP-Initiated Flow Redirection(FR) for AP load balancing by monitoring AP's availability in the true sense. When the AP's resource becomes almost saturated, that is used more than a specific threshold, the AP queries the roaming possible neighbor APs about their availability and calculates the distribution of traffic load with statistical methods such as entropy or chi-square. Finally, the AP decides flows and new APs for redirection and performs it. Our simulation results show that our FR mechanism increases the performance in the various views.

To solve user authentication problem, many remote user authentication schemes using password and smart card at the same time have been proposed. Due to the increasing of interest in personal privacy, there were some recent researches to provide user anonymity. In 2004, Das et al. firstly proposed an authentication scheme that guarantees user anonymity using a dynamic ID. In 2005, Chien et al. pointed out that Das et al.'s scheme has a vulnerability for guaranteing user anonymity and proposed an improved scheme. However their authentication scheme was found some weaknesses about insider attack, DoS attack, and restricted replay attack. In this paper, we propose an enhanced scheme which can remove vulnerabilities of Chien et al.'s scheme. The proposed authentication protocol prevented insider attack by using user's Nonce value and removed the restricted replay attack by replacing time stamp with random number. Furthermore, we improved computational efficiency by eliminating the exponentiation operation.

With the growing concern over frequent occurrences of criminal events, help-requesting mobile applications have drawn attention. However, existing applications solely focus on providing help-requesting services. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a help request and response process which allows users to request help by sending messages and locating their friends, acquaintances and even near-by application users, and to allow help be reached by forwarding messages. This application is composed of three parts: help-requesting, help-responding, and checking-status. This application is developed on the Android platform where we exchange users' longitude and latitude through web server communication. We conducted test to verify the effectiveness of the forwarding function, and it has been confirmed that 93.33% of subjects used the forwarding function to help users at risk.
