In the cloud environment, microservices are implemented through Kubernetes, and these services can be expanded or reduced through the autoscaling function under Kubernetes, depending on the service request or resource usage. However, the increase in the number of nodes or distributed microservices in Kubernetes and the unpredictable autoscaling function make it very difficult for system administrators to conduct operations. Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) supports resource management for cloud services through AI and has attracted attention as a solution to these problems. For example, after the AI model learns the metric or log data collected in the microservice units, failures can be inferred by predicting the resources in future data. However, it is difficult to construct data sets for generating learning models because many microservices used for autoscaling generate different metrics or logs in the same timestamp. In this study, we propose a cloud data refining module and structure that collects metric or log data in a microservice environment implemented by Kubernetes; and arranges it into computing resources corresponding to each service so that AI models can learn and analogize service-specific failures. We obtained Kubernetes-based AIOps learning data through this module, and after learning the built dataset through the AI model, we verified the prediction result through the differences between the obtained and actual data.

The 4th industrial revolution needs a fusion of artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and other technologies. For the fusion of technologies, cloud computing technology can provide flexible and high-performance computing resources so that cloud computing can be the foundation technology of new emerging services. The emerging services become a global-scale, and require much higher performance, availability, and reliability. Public cloud providers already provide global-scale services. However, their services, costs, performance, and policies are different. Enterprises/ developers to come out with a new inter-operable service are experiencing vendor lock-in problems. Therefore, multi-cloud technology that federatively resolves the limitations of single cloud providers is required. We propose a software platform, denoted as Cloud-Barista. Cloud-Barista is a multi-cloud service common platform for federating multiple clouds. It makes multiple cloud services as a single service. We explain the functional architecture of the proposed platform that consists of several frameworks, and then discuss the main design and implementation issues of each framework. To verify the feasibility of our proposal, we show a demonstration which is to create 18 virtual machines on several cloud providers, combine them as a single resource, and manage it.

인공지능을 이용하여 예측이나 분석하는 기술은 지속적으로 발전하고 있지만, 의사결정 과정을 명확히 해석하지 못하는 블랙박스 문제가 존재한다. 따라서 인공지능 모델의 의사결정 과정에서 사용자의 입장에서 해석이 불가능하여 결과를 신뢰할 수 없는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 인공지능의 문제점과 이를 해결하기 위한 블록체인을 활용한 설명 가능한 인공지능에 대해 연구를 진행하였다. 블록체인을 이용해서 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 의사결정 과정에서의 데이터를 타임스탬프 등을 이용하여 부분별로 블록체인에 저장한다. 블록체인을 이용하여 저장된 데이터의 위변조 방지를 제공하고 블록체인의 특성상 사용자는 블록에 저장된 의사결정 과정등의 데이터를 자유롭게 접근할 수 있다. 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 구축이 힘든 것은 기존 모델의 복잡성이 큰 부분을 차지한다. 따라서 포인트 클라우드를 활용해서 3차원 데이터 처리와 가공과정의 효율성을 높여서 의사결정 과정을 단축해 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델의 구축을 원활하게 한다. 블록체인에 데이터 저장과정에서 데이터 위변조가 발생할 수 있는 오라클 문제를 해결하기 위해 저장과정에 중간자를 거치는 블록체인 기반의 설명 가능한 인공지능 모델을 제안하여 인공지능의 블랙박스 문제를 해결하였다.

In this study, we review the ground-based whole-sky camera (WSC), which is developed to continuously capture day and night cloud images using the illumination data from a precision Lightmeter with a high temporal resolution. The WSC is combined with a precision Lightmeter developed in IYA (International Year of Astronomy) for analysis of an artificial light pollution at night and a DSLR camera equipped with a fish-eye lens widely applied in observational astronomy. The WSC is designed to adjust the shutter speed and ISO of the equipped camera according to illumination data in order to stably capture cloud images. And Raspberry Pi is applied to control automatically the related process of taking cloud and sky images every minute under various conditions depending on illumination data from Lightmeter for 24 hours. In addition, it is utilized to post-process and store the cloud images and to upload the data to web page in real time. Finally, we check the technical possibility of the method to observe the cloud distribution (cover, type, height) quantitatively and objectively by the optical system, through analysis of the captured cloud images from the developed device.

In existing cloud services, information security and privacy concerns have been worried, and have become one of the major factors that hinder the popularization and promotion of cloud computing. As the cloud computing infrastructure, the security of virtual machine systems is very important. This paper presents an immune-inspired intrusion detection model in virtual machines of cloud computing environment, denoted I-VMIDS, to ensure the safety of user-level applications in client virtual machines. The model extracts system call sequences of programs, abstracts them into antigens, fuses environmental information of client virtual machines into danger signals, and implements intrusion detection by immune mechanisms. The model is capable of detecting attacks on processes which are statically tampered, and is able to detect attacks on processes which are dynamically running. Therefore, the model supports high real time. During the detection process, the model introduces information monitoring mechanism to supervise intrusion detection program, which ensures the authenticity of the test data. Experimental results show that the model does not bring much spending to the virtual machine system, and achieves good detection performance. It is feasible to apply I-VMIDS to the cloud computing platform.

건축, 토목, 의료, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야 등 다양한 분야에서 이용되는 3D point cloud는 최근 레이저 스캐너의 발달로 인해 그 용량이 점점 커지게 되었다. 컴퓨터 메모리의 용량을 넘어서서 모든 데이터를 한 번에 처리할 수 없는 대용량 3D point cloud를 가시화하고 편집하기 위해 여러 전처리 및 가시화 방법들이 소개되었고 본 논문에서 비교한 QSplat의 경우 3D 모델의 형상 확인과 용량 감소를 목적으로 원본 좌표를 손실 압축하여 저장하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 3D point cloud를 정육면체 격자로 분할하고 center sampling을 통해 가상점 집합을 생성하며 가시화 과정에서 격자에 저장된 point 집합 취득을 통한 빠른 렌더링이 가능하다. 홍익대학교 인근 지역을 측정한 약 1억 2천만 개 point의 대용량 3D point cloud를 QSplat과 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법으로 비교한 결과 전처리 과정에서는 QSplat이, 가시화 과정에서는 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법이 빠른 속도를 보여주었다. 또한 다단계 정육면체 격자 기반 방법은 point의 원본 좌표를 저장하기에 추후 가시화 외에 편집, segmentation 등의 작업을 고려하여 고안되었다.

Cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) have been regarded in recent times as a promising concept in future 5G technologies where all DSP processors are moved into a central base band unit (BBU) pool in the cloud, and distributed remote radio heads (RRHs) compress and forward received radio signals from mobile users to the BBUs through radio links. In such dynamic environment, automatic decision-making approaches, such as artificial intelligence based deep reinforcement learning (DRL), become imperative in designing new solutions. In this paper, we propose a generic framework of autonomous cell activation and customized physical resource allocation schemes for energy consumption and QoS optimization in wireless networks. We formulate the problem as fractional power control with bandwidth adaptation and full power control and bandwidth allocation models and set up a Q-learning model to satisfy the QoS requirements of users and to achieve low energy consumption with the minimum number of active RRHs under varying traffic demand and network densities. Extensive simulations are conducted to show the effectiveness of our proposed solution compared to existing schemes.

Response Surface Method (RSM) has been widely used for flammable cloud size prediction as it can reduce computational intensity for further Explosion Risk Analysis (ERA) especially during the early design phase of offshore platforms. However, RSM encounters the overfitting problem under very limited simulations. In order to overcome the disadvantage of RSM, Bayesian Regularization Artificial Neural (BRANN)-based model has been recently developed and its robustness and efficiency have been widely verified. However, for ERA during the early design phase, there seems to be room to further reduce the computational intensity while ensuring the model's acceptable accuracy. This study aims to develop an integrated method, namely the combination of Center Composite Design (CCD) method with Bayesian Regularization Artificial Neural Network (BRANN), for flammable cloud size prediction. A case study with constant and transient leakages is conducted to illustrate the feasibility and advantage of this hybrid method. Additionally, the performance of CCD-BRANN is compared with that of RSM. It is concluded that the newly developed hybrid method is more robust and computational efficient for ERAs during early design phase.

In this paper, we propose the softwareization of broadcasting system. Recently, the topic of industry is the fourth industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution is evolving from physical to virtualization. The Industrial Revolution is based on IT technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and the Internet of Things, which are famous for Alpha Go, are based on software. Among IT, software is the main driver of industrial terrain change. The systemization of software on the basis of cloud environment is proceeding rapidly. System development through softwarization can reduce time to market lead time, hardware cost reduction and manual operation compared to existing hardware system. By developing and implementing broadcasting system such as IPTV based on cloud, lead time for opening service compared to existing hardware system can be shortened by more than 90% and investment cost can be saved by about 40%. In addition, the area of the system can be reduced by 50%. In addition, efficiency can be improved between infrastructures, shortening of trouble handling and ease of maintenance. Finally, we can improve customer experience through rapid service opening.
