Applications deployed in cloud receive a huge volume of requests from geographically distributed users whose satisfaction with the cloud service is directly proportional to the efficiency with which the requests are handled. Assignment of user requests based on appropriate load balancing principles significantly improves the performance of such cloud-based applications. To study the behavior of such systems, there is a need for simulation tools that will help the designer to set a test bed and evaluate the performance of the system by experimenting with different load balancing principles. In this paper, a novel architecture for cloud called Request Assignment Simulator (RAS) is proposed. It is a customizable, visual tool that simulates the request assignment process based on load balancing principles with a set of parameters that impact resource utilization. This simulator will help to ascertain the best possible resource allocation technique by facilitating the designer to apply and test different load balancing principles for a given scenario.

In recent years, with the blooming of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC), researchers have begun to discover new methods of technological support in all areas (e.g. health, transport, education, etc.). In this paper, in order to achieve a type of network that will provide more intelligent media-data transfer new technologies were studied. Additionally, we have been studied the use of various open source tools, such as CC analyzers and simulators. These tools are useful for studying the collection, the storage, the management, the processing, and the analysis of large volumes of data. The simulation platform which have been used for our research is CloudSim, which runs on Eclipse software. Thus, after measuring the network performance with CloudSim, we also use the Cooja emulator of the Contiki OS, with the aim to confirm and access more metrics and options. More specifically, we have implemented a network topology from a small section of the script of CloudSim with Cooja, so that we can test a single network segment. The results of our experimental procedure show that there are not duplicated packets received during the procedure. This research could be a start point for better and more efficient media data transmission.

Several studies indicated that an independent visual background (IVB) reduced simulator sickness (SS) and balance disturbance associated with exposure to virtual environments (VEs) and motion simulators. A recent study showed that an IVB comprised of an earth-fixed grid was less effective in a complex driving simulator than in a simple VE. Subjects' post-experiment reports indicated that the VE motion "induced" motion of the earth-fixed grid m. This led to the suggestion that an IVB comprised of clouds would be less subject to induced motion and therefore would alleviate nausea more effectively than a grid IVB. Clouds are "natural" and are usually perceived as relatively stable, whereas a grid has no inherent stability. 12 subjects were exposed to complex motion through a simulated environment in a driving simulator under 3 IVB conditions: grid, less clouds, many clouds. They reported less nausea when the many-cloud IVB was used relative to the grid IVB condition. grid IVB condition.

모바일 기기는 그 자체가 가지고 있는 연산 자원이 제한적이기 때문에 클라우드를 활용하여 컴퓨팅하거나 데이터를 저장하는 경향이 있다. 5G로 인해 실시간성이 중요해 짐에 따라, 중앙 클라우드보다 사용자에게 더 가까운 위치에서 컴퓨팅하는 엣지 클라우드에 관한 많은 연구가 수행되었다. 사용자가 현재 연결된 기지국의 엣지 클라우드와 물리적인 거리가 멀어질수록 네트워크 전송 속도가 느려지게 된다. 따라서 원활한 서비스 이용을 위해서는 가까운 엣지 클라우드로 애플리케이션을 마이그레이션 한 뒤 재실행해야 한다. 우리는 호스트 운영 체제와 독립적이며, 가상 머신에 비해 이미지 크기가 상대적으로 가벼운 도커 컨테이너에서 애플리케이션을 실행한다. 기존의 마이그레이션 연구는 네트워크 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 실험하였다. 시뮬레이터는 고정된 값을 사용하기 때문에 실제 환경에서의 결괏값과는 차이점이 발생한다. 또한, 공유 저장소를 통해 이미지를 마이그레이션 하는 방식을 사용하였는데, 이는 패킷 내용 노출에 대한 위험을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 엣지 컴퓨팅 환경을 구현하여 데이터 암호화 전송방식인 안전 복사(Secure CoPy) 방식으로 컨테이너를 마이그레이션 한다. 공유 저장소 방식 중 하나인 네트워크 파일 시스템(Network File System)과 마이그레이션 시간을 비교하고 안전성 확인을 위해 네트워크 패킷을 분석한다.
