Service Function Chaining (SFC) supports services through linking an ordered list of functions. There may be multiple instances of the same function, which provides a challenge to select available instances for all the functions in an SFC and generate a specific Service Function Path (SFP). Aiming to solve the problem of SFP selection, we propose an architecture consisting of distributed SFP algorithm and central control mechanism. Nodes generate distributed routings based on the first function and destination node in each service request. Controller supervises all of the distributed routing tables and modifies paths as required. The architecture is scalable, robust and quickly reacts to failures because of distributed routings. Besides, it enables centralized and direct control of the forwarding behavior with the help of central control mechanism. Simulation results show that distributed routing tables can generate efficient SFP and the average cost is acceptable. Compared with other algorithms, our design has a good performance on average cost of paths and load balancing, and the response delay to service requests is much lower.

As the organizational size of a military service or business increases and its management becomes complex, the success in its management depends less on static type of management but more on careful, dynamic type of management. In this thesis, an operations research technique is applied to the problems of determining optimal air traffic control rule and of optimal capacity of air base for a military air base. An airport runway is regarded as the service facility in a queueing mechanism, used by landing, low approach, and departing aircraft. The usual order of service gives priority different classes of aircraft such as landings, departures, and low approaches; here service disciplines are considered assigning priorities to different classes of aricraft grouped according to required runway time. Several such priority rules are compared by means of a steady-state queueing model with non-preemptive priorities. From the survey conducted for the thesis development, it was found that the flight pattern such as departure, law approach, and landing within a control zone, follows a Poisson distribution and the service time follows an Erlang distribution. In the problem of choosing the optimal air traffic control rule, the control rule of giving service priority to the aircraft with a minimum average waiting cost, regardless of flight patterns, was found to be the optimal one. Through a simulation with data collected at K-O O Air Base, the optimal take-off interval and the optimal capacity of aircraft to be employed were determined.

네트워크의 발전으로 인하여 초고화질 스트리밍 서비스에 대한 수요와 QoS (Quality of Service)에 대한 요구가 증가되었다. 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스의 QoS는 전송 프로토콜의 성능에 영향을 받는다. 대표적 전송 프로토콜인 기존의 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)는 혼잡 윈도우 크기를 느리게 증가시키는 반면 패킷 손실 시 급격하게 감소시키는 특성을 갖고 있다. 이러한 기존 TCP의 특성은 초고화질 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스의 QoS를 보장하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 초고화질 스트리밍 서비스의 QoS를 위한 라우터 버퍼기반의 혼잡 제어 기법을 제안한다. 본 기법은 혼잡 정도에 따라 혼잡 윈도우 크기 증가율을 차등적으로 적용하여 가용대역폭 초과를 방지하고 높은 대역폭의 점유율 상태를 유지한다. 또한 지연의 변화에 따라 혼잡 윈도우의 크기를 적응적으로 조절한다. 실험을 통해 초고화질 스트리밍 서비스에 적합하다는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates the restoration schemes which are applied to the MPLS domain upon a network failure. We define the following three restoration service models by combining the various restoration schemes: "FIS-based protection service" (FIS: failure indication signal), "inversion traffic protection service" and "1+1 protection service". After a qualitative analysis of the performance in them, we have analyzed it on quantitative basis by the simulation. According to the simulation results, "1+1 protection service" guarantees the fastest and most lossless restoration service among them; however, it results in consuming considerable bandwidth and producing an amount of control traffic, which means poor network utilization. On the other hand, "FIS-based protection service" spends less bandwidth and generates less control traffic, which means better network utilization, but produces poor restoration service. "Inversion traffic protection service" provides the medium restoration service and utilization between "1+1 protection service" and "FIS-based protection service."

Purpose: Cloud-computing technology has several advantages, including maintenance, management, accessibility, and computing power. A greenhouse-control system utilizing these advantages was developed using a private cloud-computing system. Methods: A private cloud needs a collection of servers and a suite of software tools to monitor and control cloud-computing resources. In this study, a server farm, operated by OpenStack as a cloud platform, was constructed using servers, and other network devices. Results: The greenhouse-control system was developed according to the fundamental cloud service models: infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service. This system has four additional advantages - security, control function, public data use, and data exchange. There are several considerations that must be addressed, such as service level agreement, data ownership, security, and the differences between users. Conclusions: When the advantages are utilized and the considerations are addressed, cloud-computing technology will be beneficial for agricultural use.

공공재인 상수도서비스의 품질을 체계적으로 평가하기 위해 주관적인 만족도만을 조사하는 기존 고객만족도 조사의 한계를 극복하고, 최적의 평가 모형을 선택하여 품질평가를 통해 만족/불만족 영향요인을 규명하여 이를 개선하기 위한 정책방안을 제시하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구는 상수도서비스 품질에 대해 실증적으로 평가하고 시정에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석해 본 결과, 공공서비스 품질이 고객만족에 영향을 미치며, 고객만족은 사후 관리로서 시정에 대한 신뢰와 지지에 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 물론 서비스 품질의 높고 낮음도 중요하지만 나아가 서비스 품질에서 만족과 신뢰가 시작된다는 의미에서 사후 관리의 중요성을 부여할 수 있다. 본 연구모형은 상수도 서비스의 일선 현장에서 서비스 품질을 주기적으로 측정하여 관리하는 지표로 활용될 수 있다. 사업자 스스로 서비스 품질을 주기적으로 평가해서 고객의 니즈를 명확하게 파악하고 이에 걸맞은 정책을 신속하게 구사하는 것은 고객의 만족도와 신뢰수준을 높이는데 있어 매우 유용한 방법이 될 것이다.

Cloud computing is now a widespread and economical option when data owners need to outsource or share their data. Designing secure and efficient data access control mechanism is one of the most challenging issues in cloud storage service. Anonymous broadcast encryption is a promising solution for its advantages in the respects of computation cost and communication overload. We bring forward an efficient anonymous identity-based broadcast encryption construction combined its application to the data access control mechanism in cloud storage service. The lengths for public parameters, user private key and ciphertext in the proposed scheme are all constant. Compared with the existing schemes, in terms of encrypting and decrypting computation cost, the construction of our scheme is more efficient. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is proved to achieve adaptive security against chosen-ciphertext attack adversaries in the standard model. Therefore, the proposed scheme is feasible for the system of data access control in cloud storage service.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an emerging short-range wireless communication network with sensor nodes located on, in or around the human body for healthcare, entertainment and ubiquitous computing. In WBANs, energy is severely constrained which is the prime consideration in the medium access control (MAC) protocol design. In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol named Energy-efficient Relay MAC with dynamic Power Control (ERPC-MAC) to save energy consumption. Without relying on the additional devices, ERPC-MAC employs relaying nodes to provide relay service for nodes which consume energy fast. Accordingly the superframe adjustment is performed and then the network topology can be smoothly switched from single-hop to multi-hop. Moreover, for further energy saving and reliability improvement, the dynamic power control is introduced to adjust the power level whenever a node transmits its packets to the coordinator or the relaying node. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first effort to integrate relay, topology adjustment and power control to improve the network performance in a WBAN. Comprehensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance. The results show that the ERPC-MAC is more superior to the existing standard and significantly prolongs the network lifetime.
