Cloud computing systems require a huge number of storage servers due to the growing implications of power bills, carbon emissions, and logistics of data centers. These considerations have motivated researchers to improve the energy efficiency of storage servers. Most servers use a lot of power irrespective of the amount of computing that they are doing, and one important goal is to redesign servers to be power-proportional. However, Research on large-scale storage systems is hampered by their cost. It is therefore desirable to develop a scalable test-bed for evaluating the power consumption of large-scale storage systems. We are building on open-source projects to construct a test-bed which will contribute to the assessment of power consumption in tiered storage systems. Integrating the cloud application platform can easily extend the proposed testbed laying a foundation for the design and evaluation of low-power storage servers.

As the development of technology advances at exceptional speed, the functions of wearable devices become more diverse and complicated, and many users find some of the functions difficult to use. In this paper, the main aim is to provide the user with an interface that is more friendly and easier to use. The speech recognition is easy to use and also easy to insert an input order. However, speech recognition is problematic when using on a wearable device that has limited computing power and battery. The wearable device cannot predict when the user will give an order through speech recognition. This means that while speech recognition must always be activated, because of the battery issue, the time taken waiting for the user to give an order is impractical. In order to solve this problem, we use gesture recognition. This paper describes how to use both speech and gesture recognition as a multimodal interface to increase the user's comfort.

Desktop-based computing environment is changed into mobile computing using smart phone and cloud computing providing common behavior and big data by network. Because of this transformation software development and operating environment is changed into heterogeneous distributed environment. As a result, dynamic service composition or changement is required. However, there is few research of techniques supporting service composition or changement dynamically in this situation. This paper suggests a technique for customizing services dynamically of mobile applications based on android platform. Especially we propose a customization technique of service by applying ontology technique to improve sharing and reuse of service. We applied proposed technique into meeting notification system, and obtain that it can be customized into various services such as email, sms, twitter service, and so on.

In recent years, there has been a popularity rose up on Smart TV (Smart Television) usage at home. Therefore, it is also have increase the demand on grid computing system. Smart TV has a variety of platform and usage compare to PC (Personal computer). Base on this, it is difficult to apply a traditional grid system on Smart TV. One major reason are concerning the small idle time compare to PC. To overcome this problem, this paper will propose a Javascript grid system and introducing a new scheduling policy that best suit for a smart TV. We have conduct an experiment on the proposed method. The result provides an average of 1.78 percent, which is improved compare to the traditional method which is only provides an average of 0.09 percent.

Cloud computing is fast becoming the wave of the future for both home and business computing. Because of this growing acceptance, we can expect an explosion of diverse cloud service providers in the coming years. However, the cloud is not a single entity, rather it is a set of many disconnected islands of application (SaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and different platform (PaaS) services. Cloud brokering mechanisms are essential to transform the heterogeneous cloud market into a commodity-like service. Cloud service brokers (CSBs) are the new form of business entities to help to aggregate the scattered set of cloud services and make conveniently available to their diverse users. CSBs can reserve a certain percentage of their clients' (users') demand and satisfy the remaining portion in an on-demand basis. In doing so, they need to minimize cost of both reserved and on-demand instances as well as the distance of a link between the cloud service provider (CSP) and the user. The study proposes a reservation approach with a mixed integer model to optimizes the cloud service cost and quality.

Searching distributed resource efficiently is very important in distributed computing, cloud computing environment. Distributed resource searching may have system overheads and take much time in proportion to the searching number, because distributed resource searching has to circuit many peers for searching information. The open-source community project JXTA defines an open set of standard protocols for ad hoc, pervasive, peer-to-peer computing as a common platform for developing a wide variety of decentralized network applications. In this paper, we proposed peer search algorithm based on JXTA-Sim. original JXTA peer searching algorithm selected a loosely-consistent DHT. Our Lookup algorithm decreases message number of WALK_LOOKUP and reduce the network system overload, and we make a result of same performance both original algorithm and our proposed algorithm.

Grid computing has been appeared for solving large-scaled data which are not solved by a single computer. Grid computing is a new generation platform which connects geographically distributed heterogeneous resources. However, gathering heterogeneous distributed resources produces many difficult problems. Especially. to assure resource reliability is one of the most critical problems. So, we propose a grid resource scheduling model using grid resource reliability measurement. We evaluate resource reliability based on resource status data and apply it to the grid scheduling model in DEVSJAVA modeling and simulation. This paper evaluates parameters such as resource utilization, job loss and average turn-around time and estimates experiment results of our model in comparison with those of existing scheduling models such as a random scheduling model and a round-robin scheduling model. These experiment results showed that the resource reliability measurement scheduling model provides efficient resource allocation and stable Job processing in comparison with a random scheduling model and a round-robin scheduling model.

The advancement of computer network technology, coupled with the growing prevalence of Internet, is promoting ubiquitous computing, also called next-generation computing paradigm, as an important study field that many researches are joining and undergoing. In this paper, as the support technology for creating ubiquitous computer environment, we design the SSDLbased on XMLwhich is used for sending and receiving data by USN application service in a standardized form. A ref model, with no regard to different platforms or implementation languages, is proposed in our research on the basis of web service so that most of unspecified users could apply the standardized protocol designed for sensor data to real sensor data in various application environments based on the designed language. Therefore, through this research we can take advantage of acquisition of USN-based technology and technology draft related to application service.

The two most popular virtual machine allocation schemes, both match making and round robin, do consider hardware specifications such as CPU, RAM, and HDD, but not CPU usage, which results in balanced resource distribution, but not in balanced resource usage. Thus, in this paper a new virtual machine allocation scheme considering current CPU usage rate is proposed while retaining even distribution of node resources. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, a cloud computing platform composed of three cloud nodes and one front end is implemented. The proposed allocation scheme was compared with both match making and round robin schemes. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme performs better in even distribution of overall CPU usage, which results in efficient load balancing.

Computers used fer light-weight computing environments are considerably limited in resources and performance running in ubiquitous environment. Because of the limited resources, it is difficult to apply existing security technologies to the light-weight computers. In this paper, light-weight security software is implemented using RC-5 encryption and SHA-1 authentication algorithm which is appropriate for light-weight computing environments. The design of components based on security software of a light-weight computer application and the test-bed for security software are presented. The simulation verifies the correctness of the security software. The architecture of the light-weight and reconfigurable security software for light-weight computer applications is proposed. The proposed security software is small size and provides reconfigurable security library based on the light-weight component and the software manager that configures software platform is loaded with the library at the time it is needed.
