Recently, the smart grid (SG) has been introduced to solve the serious network issues caused by the increasing electrical demand and the complex nonlinear nature of the electric power distribution network. The SG, regarded as the next generation power grid, can transmit power in more efficient ways by building an automatic and distributed energy delivery network. In this paper, we first assess how various existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) and IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee), meet the requirements of the SG communication protocols. Specifically, we classify the existing network protocols into three categories: WSN-based networking, WiFi-based networking, and wireline-based networking. We then survey the security issues regarding the SG. Finally, we propose an agile SG networking architecture and show the effectiveness of different adopted networking technologies and, as a result, present a candidate solution to implement agile networking in SGs.

Internet protocol television (IPTV), one of the most emerging services, offers multimedia streaming services with security, reliability, and relevant quality of service (QoS)/quality of experience (QoE). It provides added values to all the involving players and also brings technical and business challenges to them. For IPTV services, we expect to adopt the next generation network (NGN) environment for high quality and the Web technologies for personalization to meet the customer's necessity. Web can provide an open, flexible, and agile platform. Therefore, in this paper, we propose personalized IPTV services based on Web-based open platform in NGN environment and present functional architecture for Web-based personalized IPTV services. Technical issues for deploying the proposed IPTV services using Web are also provided. The objective of this paper is to analyze the critical architectural issues for developing viable and feasible networking platform models for personalized IPTV services.

The key lessons of the very complex modern war can be dangerously misleading to the outsiders. The efforts trying to draw lessons learned from the Iraq War (OIF : Operation Iraqi Freedom) may be biased by the view of point by Americans, because most of war episodes have been come from the Western media coverage. More serious bias can be committed thanks to the differences of warfighting doctrines and military technology between US forces and ROK forces. However, OIF-fought allied commanders and outside military experts said this campaign exemplified 21st-century warfare: swift, agile and decisive, employing overpowering technology to bring relentless violence to bear in many places at once. Even though the campaign evolved differently than anticipated, allied forces regrouped and regained the initiative remarkably quickly, thanks in large part to a new command flexibility, tied to new technology that made possible the more rapid sharing of data. These factors permitted "new air-land dynamic". The things that compel that are good sensors networked with good intelligence disseminated through a robust networking system, which then yields speed. Speed turns out to be a very important factor for conducting "Rapid Decisive Operations" relied on joint "Mass of Effects". ROK forces facing the heaviest ground threat in the world may learn more from Cold War era-typed US Army 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), which operating considerably beyond existing doctrine. 3ID flew its personnel into Kuwait to meet up with equipment already located in the region as pre-positioned stock. During OIF, the division conducted continuous offensive operations over 230km deep battlespace for 21 days. The lessons learned for ROK army to prepare tomorrow's war may be found from 3ID in its training, command and control, task organization, firepower and battlespace management, and logistics.

오늘날 인프라 무선 랜은 많은 사용자들이 사용하는 중요한 인터넷 접속 기술이다. 지금까지 무선 랜에 관한 연구들은 물리 계층의 채널 다양성으로 인하여 발생하는 모델링 부정확성에 대해 충분히 고려하지 않고, MAC 프로토콜의 향상 및 분석 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 평가에만 초점을 맞추어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 계층 상호 간의 의존성의 중요성에 주목하는 새로운 시각으로 IEEE 802.11 무선 랜의 특성을 고찰한다. 실제 무선 랜 시스템 상에서 실험을 수행하여 물리 계층에서 발생하는 불평등성을 관찰하였다. 그리고, 그것이 노드들 간의 혼잡 수준을 떨어뜨리는 역할을 하여 경쟁 기반의 MAC 처리율이 혼잡 상태에서도 서서히 감소하는 것을 보인다. 반면에 노드들 간의 공평성과 노드 처리율의 안정성은 시스템 입력 로드가 특정 수준을 넘으면 크게 저하되는 것을 보인다. 이와 같은 결과를 통하여, 처리율을 높이기 위해 링크 계층에서 제어를 할 필요성은 적은 반면에, 공평한 자원 분배나 서비스의 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 트래픽 제어가 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 시스템의 성능 평가를 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 병행하였다.
