In IEEE 802.11 and 802.11e for ad hoc networks, DCF and EDCA use a contention-based protocol called CSMA/CA, which is simple to implement efficient when the system is light loaded. But the performance of CSMA/CA decreases dramatically when the system load is heavy because of increasing collisions. In PCF and HCF modes, stations are controlled by a base station by polling, no collision ever occurs. However, when the system load is light, the performance is poor because few stations have data to transfer. More important, PCF and HCF can not be used in the ad hoc networks. In this paper, we address a priority-based distributed polling mechanism (PDPM) that implements polling scheme into DCF or EDCA modes for ad hoc networks by adding a polling approach before every contention-based procedure. PDPM takes the advantages of polling mechanism that avoids most of collisions in a high load condition. At the same time, it also keeps the contention-based mechanism for a light loaded condition. PDPM provides quality of service (QoS) with fewer collisions and higher throughput compared with IEEE 802.11e.

소켓 프로그래밍(socket programming) 인터페이스를 지원하는 C/C++, perl, python 과 같은 언어들은 폴링(polling) 기능을 갖는 select() 함수를 제공한다. 이 select()함수를 이용할 경우, 단일 쓰레드(또는 프로세스)로 다중의 클라이언트 요청을 처리할 수 있다. 최근 네트워크 프로그래밍 분야에서 주목받는 자바 언어의 경우, 최신 JDK 1.4 의 비동기 입출력 패키지에서 select()함수를 제공하고 있으나, JDK 1.3을 포함한 그 이하의 버전에서는 아직까지 이 함수를 제공하지 않고 있다. 일반적으로 다중 쓰레드를 이용하여 소켓서버 응용프로그램을 개발할 경우, 코드가 단순해지고 응답이 빠른 장점이 있는 반면에 네트워크 연결이 증가할수록 다수의 쓰레드를 관리하는 일이 CPU에 큰 부담이 된다. 반면에 소켓폴링(socket polling)을 사용할 경우, 이러한 연결 유지에 대한 부담이 줄어드는 대신, 다중 쓰레드를 이용하는 방법에 비하여 구현이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 시뮬레이션 환경에서 세가지 소켓 프로그래밍 모델에 대하여 그 성능을 비교평가 하였다. 이 세가지 모델은 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델(typical multi-thread model), 단일 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델(socket polling with single-thread model), 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델(socket polling with multi-threadmodel)이다. 본 논문에서는 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델을 제안하고 JDK 1.3.1을 이용하여 구현하였다. 이 모델의 경우 복잡한 구조에도 불구하고 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델와 유사하거나 더 나은 성능을 보여주었다. 또한 동일한 용량의 쓰레드 풀(thread pool)을 사용하더라도 단순 다중 쓰레드 모델보다 더 많은 수의 클라이언트를 수용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구팀에서 수행중인 MoIM-Messge서버의 네트워크 모듈로 다중 쓰레드 소켓폴링 모델을 적용하였다.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the FDRA(Fault Detection Recovery based on Agent) running on distributed multimedia environment. DOORAE is a good example for distributed multimedia and multimedia distance education system among students and teachers during lecture. It has primitive service agents. Service functions are implemented with objected oriented concept. FDRA is a multi-agent system. It has been environment, intelligent agents interact with each other, either collaboratively or non-collaboratively, to achieve their goals. The main idea is to detect an error by using polling method. This system detects an error by polling periodically the process with relation to session. And, it is to classify the type of error s automatically by using learning rules. The merit of this system is to use the same method to recovery it as it creates a session. FDRA is a system that is able to detect an error, to classify an error type, and to recover automatically a software error based on distributed multimedia environment.

Although the Distributed Coordination Function is the fundamental access protocol of IEEE 802.11, it cannot meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in general. So, the Point Coordinate Function is provided to support QoS related services. However, it has inherent problems. Access point (AP) has no knowledge of the queue status and instantaneous channel condition of stations in the system. In this paper we propose an efficient and versatile polling scheduler that shows excellent throughput and fairness performance. Comparison with well known polling schemes is provided through computer simulation under various channel situations including error prone environments.

Far-talking recognition and distributed speech recognition networking techniques are essential to control various and complex home services conveniently with voices. It is possible to control devices everywhere at home by using only voices. In this paper, we have developed the server-client DSP module for distributed speech recognition network system and proposed a new decision rule to decide intelligently whether to accept the recognition results or not by the transferred confidence rate. Simulation results show that the proposed decision rule delivers better performances than the conventional decision by majority rule or decision by first-arrival. Also, we have proposed the new interrupt-polling technique to remedy the defect of existing delay technique which always has to wait several clients' results for a few seconds. The proposed technique queries all client's status after first-arrival and decides whether to wait or not. It can remove unnecessary delay-time without any performance degradation.

Multimedia is now applied to various real worlds. In particular, the focus of CSCW(Computer Supported Cooperated Work) for multimedia education system has increased. DOORAE is a framework for supporting development of applications running on distributed multimedia environment and multimedia distance education system. EDA is a system is able to detect automatically a software error based on distributed multimedia. It has been designed and implemented for construction and experiment of effective DOORAE environment. It detects an error by polling periodically the process with relation to session. Conventional method detects an error by polling periodically all the process. This papaer explains a performance analysis of an error detection system running on distributed multimedia environment using the rule-based SES and DEVS modeling and simulation techniques. In DEVS, a system has a time base, inputs, states, outputs, and functions.

Public opinion polls have a strong influence on modern society as a means of examining the tendency of social groups on specific issues. As the influence of the polls increases, the problem of forgery and falsification of the results becomes an important issue. So, to guarantee the reliability of the results, our society needs novel mechanisms. As one of such mechanisms, the Ethereum blockchain is an environment for developing decentralized applications with the reliable blockchain technology. Ethereum decentralized applications can utilize smart contracts to provide services for users in transparent and reliable ways. In this paper, we propose a polling method that guarantees reliability using the blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger technique that makes forgery or falsification actually impossible. The proposed method provides a robust verification function on the results of the associated polls for individual voters and verification organizations. Also, we present a distributed opinion polling application running on our private Ethereum blockchain network, showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.

최근 무선랜의 발전으로 공공의 사용자 밀집 지역에서 무선랜의 이용이 가능해졌다. 이러한 사용자 밀집 지역에서는 엑세스 과밀 현상이 발생하므로 기존의 무선랜 방식보다 차별화된 엑세스 관리 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 무선랜의 표준인 IEEE 802.11 에서 제안된 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)와 PCF(Point Coordination Function) 두가지 전송 방식의 데이터 전송과 폴링 방법을 핫스팟 환경에 맞추어 효과적으로 개선하는 방법으로 노드에 의해서 폴링을 관리하는 스킴을 제안한다.

Ad Hoc 네트워크는 단말간 채널 경쟁을 통해 데이터 패킷을 전송하는 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)에 기반을 둔다. DCF는 단말의 수가 많아질수록 충돌 확률이 증가하여 성능이 급격하게 감소한다. 성능 향상을 위해 DPCF(Distributed Point Coordination Function) 방법이 제안되었다. 이 방법에서 단말은 기본적으로 DCF로 동작하고 채널 접근 권한을 얻었을 때 이웃 단말들에게 PCF(Point Coordination Function)를 이용하여 채널 경쟁 없이 데이터 패킷을 전송하도록 한다. 그러나 이 방법은 히든 노드 문제를 더 가중시키고 데이터 패킷이 없는 단말도 폴링을 하기 때문에 채널 낭비를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 PCF로 동작할 때 전송 범위 내 모든 단말이 아닌 제한된 영역에 있는 단말을 대상으로만 동작한다. 또한 데이터 패킷이 있는 단말에 대해서만 폴링을 수행한다. 이를 통해 제안된 방법은 Ad Hoc 네트워크에서 충돌 확률을 낮추고 성능을 향상시킨다.
