A protocol HMNR, was proposed to utilize control information of every other process piggybacked on each sent message for minimizing the number of forced checkpoints. Then, an improved protocol, called Lazy-HMNR, was presented to lower the possibility of taking forced checkpoints incurred by the asymmetry between checkpointing frequencies of processes. Despite these two different minimization techniques, if the high message interaction traffic occurs, Lazy-HMNR may considerably lower the probability of knowing whether there occurs no Z-cycle due to its shortcomings. Also, we recognize that no previous work has smart procedures to be able to utilize network infrastructures for highly decreasing the number of forced checkpoints with dependency information carried on every application message. We introduce a novel Lazy-HMNR protocol for group communication-based distributed computing systems to cut back the number of forced checkpoints in a more effective manner. Our simulation outcomes showed that the proposed protocol may highly lessen the frequency of forced checkpoints by comparison to Lazy-HMNR.

통신 유도 검사점 기법(communication induced checkpointing)은 분산 프로세스들의 결함 내성을 위한 검사점 기법 중 한 가지이다. 각 프로세스가 동기화를 거치지 않고 독립적으로 생성한 지역 검사점은 일관성을 위배하는 불필요한 검사점(useless checkpoint)이 될 가능성이 있으며, 연속적인 프로세스의 롤백(rollback)을 유발시킨다. 이를 막기 위해서 통신 유도 검사점 기법은 추가로 강제적인 검사점(forced checkpoint)을 생성한다. 강제적 검사점의 개수는 전체 시스템 성능의 부하와 직결되므로 이를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 "Z-cycle 부재" 조건을 만족하는 두 가지의 통신 기반 검사점 기법을 제안하며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 제안된 알고리즘들이 기존의 알고리즘들보다 적은 부하를 요구함을 보인다. 덧붙여, 인덱스를 사용한 기존의 통신 유도 검사점 기법은 일관적인 전역 회복점(consistent global cut)을 찾는데 비효율적임을 보인다.

이 논문은 동기적 검사점 기법에서 결한 포용을 목적으로 불안전 저장 장치(volatile storage)에 저장되는 메시지 로그와 안전 저장 장치에 저장되는 검사점의 쓰레기 처리 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 동기적 검사점 기법을 기반으로 한 결함 포용 정보 쓰레기 처리 기법은 가장 최근의 검사점을 제외한 모든 결함 정보를 쓰레기 처리하였다. 하지만 TCP/IP와 같은 신뢰적 통신 기법을 기반으로 한 동기적 검사점 기법이 가장 최근의 검사점만을 복귀 회복 기법에서 사용한다면, 손실 메시지(lost message)로 인한 불필요한 복귀(sympathetic rollback)가 발생된다. 이 논문은 동기적 검사점 기법에서 손실 메시지로 인한 불필요한 복귀 문제를 해결하기 위해 각 프로세스가 동기화된 가장 최근의 검사정의에 검사점이나 메시지 로그를 유지해야 한다는 것을 보였다. 또한 손실 메시지로 인한 불필요한 복귀 문제의 해결을 위해 관리되어야 하는 검사점이나 메시지 로그가 쓰레기 처리되어지기 위해 필요한 조건을 새롭게 정의하며, 이 정의를 기반으로 한 검사정과 메시지 로그의 쓰레기 처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제시된 조건을 기반으로 한 검사점과 메시지 로그의 쓰레기 처리는 송수신 메시지에 부가된 손실 메시지 관련 프로세스 정보를 이용하므로 쓰레기 처리를 위한 부가적인 메시지를 발생시키지 않는다. 제안된 기법은 손실 메시지 관련 정보가 부가된 메시지가 송수신되기 전까지 쓰레기 처리가 지연되는 '지연 쓰레기 처리 현상(lazy garbage collection)'을 발생시킨다. 하지만 '지연 쓰레기 처리 현상'은 분산 시스템의 일관성을 위배하지 않는다.

According to the statistics revealed by Bank of Korea on March, 2007, Internet banking transactions outnumbered face-to-face banking services in Korea. Internet banking is becoming essential in every financial service sectors. For people with disabilities, Internet banking is more meaningful because they do not need to visit the bank, thereby saving inconvenient trips. Governments in many countries are working on setting standards and laws on the web accessibility for people with disabilities. Korea government enacted Korea Disability Discrimination Act in 2007. This paper examined the web accessibility compliance of Internet banking sites. Twenty one Internet banking sites were selected from the list in the Korea Federation of Banks's Web sites. We examined four major checkpoints that are considered crucial among the fourteen checkpoints in "Internet Web Contents Accessibility Guidelines" which was amended by Ministry of the information and Communication in 2005. The results showed that all of the twenty one Internet banking sites didn't meet the four major checkpoint requirements. Moreover, only one banking site satisfied alt-text requirement that is considered the most fundamental among the checkpoints.

본 논문에서는 중복 구조 시스템을 이용하여 각 프로세서에서의 출력을 비교하여 효율적으로 고장을 탐지하고, 체크포인팅 기법을 적용하여 과도 고장뿐 아니라 영구적 고장을 극복하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 매 체크포인터에서는 각 프로세서로부터의 출력과 과거 체크포인터에 저장된 데이터를 불러와 서로 비교한 후 과거 체크포인터로 회귀할지 태스크의 수행을 계속 수행할지 결정한다. 과도 고장과 영구 고장이 발생할 수 있는 상황에서 제안된 체크포인팅 기법을 탑재한 중복 구조 시스템을 마코프 모델을 이용하여 모델링한다. 마코프 모델로부터 실시간 태스크가 데드라인 이내에서 성공적으로 수행을 끝낼 확률을 계산하고, 이 확률식을 이용하여 중복구조 시스템에 탑재할 체크포인터 구간을 최적화한다. 최적화된 체크포인터 구간은 태스크의 성공적 수행 확율을 최대화 하도록 선정하였다.

This paper presents an optimal checkpoint strategy for fault-tolerance in real-time systems. In our environment, multiple real-time tasks with arbitrary periods are scheduled in the system by Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithm, and checkpoints are inserted at a constant interval in each task while the width of interval is different with respect to the task. We propose a method to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for each task so that the probability of completing all the tasks is maximized. Whenever a fault occurs to a checkpoint interval of a task, the execution time of the task would be prolonged by rollback and re-execution of checkpoints. Our scheme includes the schedulability test to examine whether a task can be completed with an extended execution time. A numerical experiment is conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed scheme.

We analyze checkpoint strategy for multiple real-time periodic tasks with hard deadlines. Real-time tasks usually have deadlines associated with them. For multiple real-time tasks, checkpoint strategy considering deadlines of all tasks is very difficult to derive. We analyze the problem of checkpoint placement for such multiple periodic tasks. In our strategy, the interval between checkpoints is determined for each task considering its deadline. An approximated failure probability over a specified interval is derived. Then the number of checkpoints for each task is selected to minimize the approximated failure probability. To show the usefulness of our strategy, error bound between the exact and the approximated failure probability is estimated, which is revealed to be quite small.

For a successful checkpointing strategy, we should place checkpoints so as to optimize fault-tolerance capability of real-time systems. This paper presents a novel scheme of checkpoint placement for real-time systems with periodic multi-tasks. Under the influence of transient faults, multi-tasks are scheduled by the Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithm. The optimal checkpoint intervals are derived to maximize the probability of task completion. In particular, this paper is concerned about the general case that the deadline of a task is longer than the period. Compared with the special condition that the deadline is equal to or less than the period, this general case causes a more complicate test procedure for schedulability of the RM algorithm with respect to a given set of checkpoint re-execution vectors. The probability of task completion is also derived in a more complex form. A case study is given to show the applicability of the proposed scheme.

Evaluation of multilingual translation fundamentally involves measurement of meaning equivalences between the formally mapped discourses/texts of SL(source language) and TL(target language) both represented by a metalanguage called IL(interlingua). Unlike a usaal uni-directional MT(machine translation) model(e.g.:SL $\rightarrow$ analysis $\rightarrow$ transfer $\rightarrow$ generation $\rightarrow$ TL), a bi-directional(by 'negotiation') model(i.e.: SL $\rightarrow$ IL/S $\leftrightarrow$ IL $\leftrightarrow$ IL/T \leftarrow TL) is proposed here for the purpose of evaluating multilingual, not merely bilingual, translation. The IL, as conceived of in this study, is an English-based predicate logic represented in the framework of MRS(minimal recursion semantics), an MT-oriented off-shoot of HPSG(Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar). In addition, a list of semantic and pragmatic checkpoints are set up, some being optional depending on the kind and use of the translation, so sa to have the evaluation of translation fine-grained by computing matching or mismatching of such checkpoints.

Recently, as the demand for physical security technology to prevent leakage of technical and business information of companies and public institutions increases, the high tech companies are operating X-ray security checkpoints at building entrances to protect their intellectual property and technology. X-ray security checkpoints are operated to detect cameras and storage media that may store or leak important technologies in the bags of people entering and leaving the building. In this study, we propose an X-ray security checkpoint system that automatically detects a storage medium in an X-ray image using a deep learning based object detection method. The proposed system consists of an edge computing unit and a cloud-computing unit. We employ the RetinaNet for automatic storage media detection in the X-ray security checkpoint images. The proposed approach achieved mAP of 95.92% on private dataset.
