Traditional cloud computing faces some challenges such as huge energy consumption, network delay and single point of failure. Edge computing is a typical distributed processing platform which includes multiple edge servers closer to the users, thus is more robust and can provide real-time computing services. Although outsourcing data to edge servers can bring great convenience, it also brings serious security threats. In order to provide image retrieval while ensuring users' data privacy, a privacy preserving image retrieval scheme in edge environment is proposed. Considering the distributed characteristics of edge computing environment and the requirement for lightweight computing, we present a privacy-preserving image retrieval scheme in edge computing environment, which two or more "honest but curious" servers retrieve the image quickly and accurately without divulging the image content. Compared with other traditional schemes, the scheme consumes less computing resources and has higher computing efficiency, which is more suitable for resource-constrained edge computing environment. Experimental results show the algorithm has high security, retrieval accuracy and efficiency.

Recently, volume of data has been growing dramatically along with the growth of social media and digital devices. However, the existing disk-based distributed file systems have limits to their performance of data processing or data access, due to I/O processing costs and bottlenecks. To solve this problem, the caching technique is being used to manage data in the memory. In this paper, we propose a cache management scheme to handle load balancing in a distributed memory environment. The proposed scheme distributes the data according to the memory size, n distributed environments with different memory sizes. If overloaded nodes occur, it redistributes the the access time of the caching data. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with an existing distributed cache management scheme through performance evaluation.

Data Grid is a kind of Grid computing provides the cooperative environment through the distributed data sharing, and can manage the massive data easily and efficiently. We designed and implemented Globus Toolkit4 (GT4) based database access and integration service (GDAIS). This service was implemented as Grid service for run on the GT4 which is Grid middleware. And it provides functions which are automatic registration of database in virtual organization, distributed query service, and the unified user interface. Also this system can use components which are provided from GT4. Therefore it can improve the efficiency to distribute and manage databases, can easily access and integrate of the distributed heterogeneous data in Grid environments.

Collecting and utilizing have a huge amount of personal data have caused severe security issues such as leakage of personal information. Several encryption algorithms for collected personal information have been widely adopted to prevent such problems. In this paper, a novel algorithm based on MapReduce is proposed for encrypting such private information. Furthermore, test environment has been built for the performance verification of the distributed encryption processing method. As the result of the test, average time efficiency has improved to 15.3% compare to encryption processing of token server and 3.13% compare to parallel processing.

For the efficient co-authoring of multimedia documents in a distributed systems environment, the cooperative-work management systems that can not only allow the sharing of distributed resources but also facilitate the authors' interaction, are needed. In this paper, we present a cooperative-work management system with hybrid architecture, called CW-MAN, in which the information on shared objects and co-authoring management is stored in a dedicated computer system but the shared objects distributed all over the local computer systems. The main management functions provided by the CW-MAN are those for shared objects, session, and telepointing. The shared-object use them exclusively. The session managements allows authors to dynamically create, update, and destroy sessions. Lastly, the telepointing management allows local pointing events to be synchronously presented to remote systems.

In this paper we propose a distributed location management scheme to reduce the bottleneck problem of HLR in Large Mobile Networks (LMN). Using analytical modeling and numerical simulation, we show that replicating location information is both appropriate and efficient for small mobile networks. Then, we extend the scheme in a hierarchical environment to reduce the overhead traffic and scale to LMN. In numerical results, we show the superiority of our scheme compared to the current IS-95 standard scheme in IMT-2000 networks.

Internet technology opens up another domain for building future CAD/CAM environment. The environment will be global, network-centric, and spatially distributed. In this paper, we present a new approach to network-centric virtual prototyping (NetVP) in a distributed design environment. The presented approach combines the current virtual assembly modeling and analysis technique with distributed computing and communication technology fur supporting virtual prototyping activities over the network. This paper focuses on interoperability, shape representation, and geometric processing for distributed virtual prototyping. STEP standard and CORBA-based interfaces allow the bi-directional communication between the CAD model and virtual prototyping model, which makes it possible to solve the problems of interoperability, heterogeneity of platforms, and data sharing. STEP AP203 and AP214 are utilized as a means of transferring and sharing product models. In addition, Attributed Abstracted B-rep (AAB) is introduced as 3D shape abstraction for transparent and efficient transmission of 3D models and for the maintenance of naming consistency between CAD models and virtual prototyping models over the network.

Cloud computing has been receiving increasing attention recently. Despite this attention, security is the main problem that still needs to be addressed for cloud computing. In general, a cloud computing environment protects data by using distributed servers for data storage. When the amount of data is too high, however, different pieces of a secret key (if used) may be divided among hundreds of distributed servers. Thus, the management of a distributed server may be very difficult simply in terms of its authentication, encryption, and decryption processes, which incur vast overheads. In this paper, we proposed a efficiently data storage and recovery scheme using XOR and RAID in Hadoop environment.

Today's Software Systems are becoming bigger, larger and more complex than ever before. To develop largerscale projects, it is required that many experts of different fields participate and cooperate in the same project. So, it is an applied area of CSCW(Computer Supported Cooperative Works} that centers around methodologies and tools that enable cooperative works by geographically distributed people engaged in all aspects of product development. In this paper, we designed a multi-user cooperative works platform, SPACE(Software Platform for distributed Application sharing under Cooperative Environment} as a infrastructure that support to CSCW based system development for telecommunication and information system. SPACE has a fully distributed architecture under Windows 95 environment, has an application sharing mechanism enabling collaborative use of mteractive application adapt to a mixed GUI sharing technology which capture GUI and screen information, and also, an event sharing technology that has a replicated architecture.

A repository s a system for management not only simple information using database but also complex and various information resources. a standard for implementation of a repository is now IRDS, but is does not support distributed-object environment. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement IRDS-based repository on distributed-object environment. For implementation, we use ISO IRDS as a repository supporting object-oriented concepts, and choice the CORBA to support the distributed-object technology. Implemented contents are metadata table and service interface based on core functionality to be proposes at IRDS, and window-based user interface to use them, Also, we apply it to the workflow management system and test its practical usefulness.
