현재 음성인식 기술은 꾸준히 발전하고 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음성 데이터 품질이 음성인식 모델에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 데이터셋을 전체 데이터셋과 SNR 상위 70%의 데이터셋으로 나눈 후 Seamless M4T와 Google Cloud Speech-to-Text를 이용하여 각 모델의 텍스트 변환 결과를 확인하고 Levenshtein Distance를 사용하여 평가하였다. 실험 결과에서 Seamless M4T는 높은 SNR(신호 대 잡음비)을 가진 데이터를 사용한 모델에서 점수가 13.6으로 전체 데이터셋의 점수인 16.6보다 더 낮게 나왔다. 그러나 Google Cloud Speech-to-Text는 전체 데이터셋에서 8.3으로 높은 SNR을 가진 데이터보다 더 낮은 점수가 나왔다. 이는 새로운 음성인식 모델을 훈련할 때 SNR이 높은 데이터를 사용하는 것이 영향이 있다고 할 수 있으며, Levenshtein Distance 알고리즘이 음성인식 모델을 평가하기 위한 지표 중 하나로 쓰일 수 있음을 나타낸다.

Accompanying the Internet of Things (IoT) is a demand of advanced applications and services utilizing the potential of the IoT environment. Monitoring the environment for a provision of context-aware services to the human beings is one of the new trends in our future life. The IoTivity Cloud is one of the most notable open-source platform bringing an opportunity to collect, analyze, and interpret a huge amount of data available in the IoT environment. Based on the IoTivity Cloud, we aim to develop a novel platform for comprehensive monitoring of a future network, which facilitates on-demand data collection to enable the network behavior prediction and the quality of user experience maintenance. In consideration of performance evaluation of the monitoring platform, this paper presents results of a preliminary test on the data acquisition/supply process in the IoTivity Cloud.

Recent network environment has been rapidly evolved to cloud computing environment based on the development of the Internet technologies. Furthermore there is an increasing demand on mobile cloud computing due to explosive growth of smart devices and wide deployment of LTE-based cellular networks. Thus mobile Desktop-as-a-Service(DaaS) could be a pervasive service for nomadic users. In addition, video streaming traffic is currently more than two-thirds of mobile traffic and ever increasing. All such trends enable that video streaming in mobile DaaS could be an important concern for mobile cloud computing. It should be noted that the performance of the Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) on cloud host servers greatly affects Quality of Service(QoS) of video streams for mobile users. With widely deployed Linux server platforms for cloud computing, in this paper, we conduct an experimental analysis of the twelve Linux TCP variants in mobile DaaS environments. The results of our experiments show that the TCP Illinois outperforms the other TCP variants in terms of wide range of packet loss rate and propagation delay over LTE-based wireless links between cloud servers and mobile devices, even though TCP CUBIC is usually used in default in the current Linux systems.

Enhancing the performance of computing systems has been an important topic since the invention of computers. The leading-edge technologies of multicore and virtualization dramatically influence the development of current IT systems. We study performance attributes of response time (RT), throughput, efficiency, and scalability of a virtualized Web system running on a multicore server. We build virtual machines (VMs) for a Web application, and use distributed stress tests to measure RTs and throughputs under varied combinations of virtual cores (VCs) and VM instances. Their gains, efficiencies and scalabilities are also computed and compared. Our experimental and analytic results indicate: 1) A system can perform and scale much better by adopting multiple single-VC VMs than by single multiple-VC VM. 2) The system capacity gain is proportional to the number of VM instances run, but not proportional to the number of VCs allocated in a VM. 3) A system with more VMs or VCs has higher physical CPU utilization, but lower vCPU utilization. 4) The maximum throughput gain is less than VM or VC gain. 5) Per-core computing efficiency does not correlate to the quality of VCs or VMs employed. The outcomes can provide valuable guidelines for selecting instance types provided by public Cloud providers and load balancing planning for Web systems.

Characteristics of precipitation response to enhanced aerosols have been investigated during the severe haze events observed in Korea for 2011 to 2016. All 6-years haze events are classified into long-range transported haze (LH: 31%), urban haze (UH: 28%), and yellow sand (YS: 18%) in order. Long-range transported one is mainly discussed in this study. Interestingly, both LH (68%) and YS (87%) appear to be more frequently accompanied with precipitation than UH (48%). We also found out the different timing of precipitation for LH and YS, respectively. The variations of precipitation frequency for the LH event tend to coincide with aerosol variations specifically in terms of temporal covariation, which is in contrast with YS. Increased aerosol loadings following precipitation for the YS event seems to be primarily controlled by large scale synoptic forcing. Meanwhile, aerosols for the LH event may be closely associated with precipitation longevity through changes in cloud microphysics such that enhanced aerosols can increase smaller cloud droplets and further extend light precipitation at weaker rate. Notably, precipitation persisted longer than operational weather forecast not considering detailed aerosol-cloud interactions, but the timescale was limited within a day. This result demonstrates active interactions between aerosols and meteorology such as probable modifications of cloud microphysics and precipitation, synoptic-induced dust transport, and precipitation-scavenging in Korea. Understanding of aerosol potential effect on precipitation will contribute to improving the performance of numerical weather model especially in terms of precipitation timing and location.

최근 하드웨어 성능뿐 아니라 영상 처리 기술의 발달로 인해 다양한 분야에서 사용자에게 자유로운 시야각과 입체감을 제공하는 3차원 포인트를 다루는 기술에 관한 연구를 지속하고 있다. 3차원 포인트를 표현하는 형식 중 포인트 클라우드 기술은 포인트를 정밀하게 획득/표현할 수 있다는 장점으로 인해 다양한 분야에서 주목받고 있다. 하지만 하나의 3차원 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠를 표현하기 위해 수십, 수백만 개의 포인트가 필요하므로 기존의 2차원 콘텐츠보다 많은 양의 저장 공간을 요구한다는 단점이 존재한다. 이러한 이유로, 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)에서는 3차원 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 압축 및 저장하고, 사용자에게 전송하는 방안에 대해 계속 연구를 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-I (Immersive) 그룹에서 제안한 V-PCC(Video based Point Cloud Compression) 부호화기를 통해 생성된 V-PCC 비트스트림을 MMT (MPEG Media Transport) 표준에서 정의한 MPU (Media Processing Unit)로 구성하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한, MMT 표준에서 정의한 시그널링 메시지를 확장하여 3차원 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠의 영역 선별적 전송 방안을 위한 파라미터와 사용자의 요구에 따라 선택적으로 품질 파라미터를 결정할 수 있도록 V-PCC에서 상정하는 품질 파라미터를 추가 정의한다. 마지막으로, 본 논문에서는 제안한 기술을 기반으로 검증 플랫폼의 설계/구현을 통해 결과를 확인한다.

Previously, we described a social media cloud computing service environment (SMCCSE). This SMCCSE supports the development of social networking services (SNSs) that include audio, image, and video formats. A social media cloud computing PaaS platform, a core component in a SMCCSE, processes large amounts of social media in a parallel and distributed manner for supporting a reliable SNS. Here, we propose a Hadoop-based multimedia system for image and video transcoding processing, necessary functions of our PaaS platform. Our system consists of two modules, including an image transcoding module and a video transcoding module. We also design and implement the system by using a MapReduce framework running on a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and the media processing libraries Xuggler and JAI. In this way, our system exponentially reduces the encoding time for transcoding large amounts of image and video files into specific formats depending on user-requested options (such as resolution, bit rate, and frame rate). In order to evaluate system performance, we measure the total image and video transcoding time for image and video data sets, respectively, under various experimental conditions. In addition, we compare the video transcoding performance of our cloud-based approach with that of the traditional frame-level parallel processing-based approach. Based on experiments performed on a 28-node cluster, the proposed Hadoop-based multimedia transcoding system delivers excellent speed and quality.

Cloud computing, also known as "country as you go", is used to turn any computer into a dematerialized architecture in which users can access different services. In addition to the daily evolution of stakeholders' number and beneficiaries, the imbalance between the virtual machines of data centers in a cloud environment impacts the performance as it decreases the hardware resources and the software's profitability. Our axis of research is the load balancing between a data center's virtual machines. It is used for reducing the degree of load imbalance between those machines in order to solve the problems caused by this technological evolution and ensure a greater quality of service. Our article focuses on two main phases: the pre-classification of tasks, according to the requested resources; and the classification of tasks into levels ('odd levels' or 'even levels') in ascending order based on the meta-heuristic "Bat-algorithm". The task allocation is based on levels provided by the bat-algorithm and through our mathematical functions, and we will divide our system into a number of virtual machines with nearly equal performance. Otherwise, we suggest different classes of virtual machines, but the condition is that each class should contain machines with similar characteristics compared to the existing binary search scheme.

5G 목표 중 하나인 초신뢰성 저지연 통신에 도달하기 위해 멀티액세스 엣지 컴퓨팅 패러다임이 탄생했다. 이 패러다임은 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 네트워크 엣지에 더 가깝게 하며 서비스 지연 시간을 줄이기 위해서는 네트워크 엣지에 있는 여러 Edge Cloud에서 서비스 호스팅된다. 모바일 사용자의 경우 서비스 품질 유지를 위해 서비스를 가장 적합한 Edge Cloud로 마이그레이션하는 것은 중요하고 고이동성 시나리오에서는 서비스 마이그레이션 문제가 더욱 복잡해진다. 고정 이동 경로에서 사용자 이동성과 Edge Cloud 선택에 대한 어떤 영향을 미치는 건지 관찰하는 것이 이 연구의 목표다. Mobility-Aware Service Migration (MASM)은 고이동성 시나리오 동안 라우팅 비용과 서비스 마이그레이션 비용이라는 두 가지 주요 매개변수를 기반으로 서비스 마이그레이션을 최적화하기 위해 제안된다. 제안된 알고리즘을 기존의 그리디 알고리즘과 비교하여 평가한다.

One of the biggest dangers in the globe is water contamination. Water is a necessity for human survival. In most cities, the digging of borewells is restricted. In some cities, the borewell is allowed for only drinking water. Hence, the scarcity of drinking water is a vital issue for industries and villas. Most of the water sources in and around the cities are also polluted, and it will cause significant health issues. Real-time quality observation is necessary to guarantee a secure supply of drinking water. We offer a model of a low-cost system of monitoring real-time water quality using IoT to address this issue. The potential for supporting the real world has expanded with the introduction of IoT and other sensors. Multiple sensors make up the suggested system, which is utilized to identify the physical and chemical features of the water. Various sensors can measure the parameters such as temperature, pH, and turbidity. The core controller can process the values measured by sensors. An Arduino model is implemented in the core controller. The sensor data is forwarded to the cloud database using a WI-FI setup. The observed data will be transferred and stored in a cloud-based database for further processing. It wasn't easy to analyze the water quality every time. Hence, an Optimized Neural Network-based automation system identifies water quality from remote locations. The performance of the feed-forward neural network classifier is further enhanced with a hybrid GA- PSO algorithm. The optimized neural network outperforms water quality prediction applications and yields 91% accuracy. The accuracy of the developed model is increased by 20% because of optimizing network parameters compared to the traditional feed-forward neural network. Significant improvement in precision and recall is also evidenced in the proposed work.
