  • In these days, internet environment are very quickly development as well on-line service have been using a online for the mission critical business around the world. As the amount of information to be processed by computers has recently been increased there has been cluster computing systems developed by connecting workstations server using high speed networks for high availability. but cluster computing technology are limited for a lot of IT resources. So, grid computing is an expanded technology of distributed computing technology to use low-cost and high-performance computing power in various fields. Although the purpose of Grid computing focuses on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and in some case, high-performance orientation, it has been used as conventional distributed computing environment like clustered computer until now because grid middleware does not have common sharable information system. In order to use grid computing environment efficiently which consists of various grid middleware, it is necessary to have application-independent information system which can share information description and services, and expand them easily. This paper proposed new database architecture and load balancing for high availability through Grid technology.

  • In distributed computing paradigm, mobile surrogate systems migrates from on host in a network to another. However, Mobile surrogate system have not gained wide acceptance because of security concerns that have not been suitably addressed yet. In this paper, we propose a security framework based on Grid Proxy Gateway for mobile Grid service. The current Grid Security Infrastructure is extended to mobile computing environments. The surrogate host system designed for mobile Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) users can access the certified host and get his proxy credential to launch remote job submission securely.

  • In this paper, we research on job migration in a grid computing environment with cactus and MPICH-C2 based on Globus. Our concepts are to perform job migration by finding the site with plenty of computational resources that would decrease execution time in a grid computing environment. The Migration Manager recovers the job from the checkpointing files and restarts the job on the migrated site. To select a migrating site, the proposed method considers system's performance index, cpu's load, network traffic to send migration job tiles and the execution time predicted on a migration site. Then it selects a site with maximal performance gains. By selecting a site with minimum migration time and minimum execution time. this approach implements a more efficient grid computing environment. The proposed method Is proved by effectively decreasing total execution time at the $K\ast{Grid}$.

  • Grid computing, a mechanism which uses heterogeneous systems that are geographically distributed, draws attention as a new paradigm for the next generation operation of parallel and distributed computing. The importance of grid computing concerning communication cost is very huge because grid computing furnishes uses with integrated virtual computing service, in which a number of computer systems are connected by a high-speed network. Therefore, to reduce the execution time, the scheduling algorithm in grid environment should take communication cost into consideration as well as computing ability of resources. However, most scheduling algorithms have not only ignored the communication cost by assuming that all tasks were dealt in one cluster, but also did not consider the overhead of communication cost when the tasks were processed in a number of clusters. In this paper, the functions of original scheduling algorithms are analyzed. More importantly, the functions of algorithms are compared and analyzed with consideration of communication cost within the co allocation environment, in which a task is performed separately in many clusters.

  • High speed computer, large scale storage device and high speed computer network are computing infrastructure which we can easily access to in these days. However, many computer simulations in natural or applied science such as molecular simulation require more computing power as well as larger scale of storage. Grid computing which is a next generation of distributed computing environment, is one of solution for the new requirements. Even though many researches have been going on Grid computing, those are oriented to communication interface and protocols, and middleware like globus tool kits[2, 3]. Therefore research on application level platform or application itself is yet premature and it makes real users be difficult to utilize Grid system for their research. In this paper, we suggest a new user environment and an abstract job model for simulation experiments on MGrid(Molecular Simulation Grid). It will make users be able to utilize Grid resources efficiently and reliably.

  • 디렉터리와 파일의 계층적 구조를 가지는 계층적 파일 시스템은 오늘날 대부분의 범용 컴퓨터에서 흔히 사용되고 있다. 계층적 파일 시스템은 직관적이고, 체계적이며, 단순하다는 장점이 있으나 검색이 용이 하지 않으며, 메타데이터를 관리하기 어렵다는 단점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 계층적 파일 시스템의 장점과 빠른 검색기능을 활용하여 메타데이터를 검색하고 관리할 수 있는 데이터베이스의 장점을 결합하여 계층적 파일 시스템에서 메타데이터를 관리할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 데이터 그리드와 같이 분산된 데이터 저장 장치를 연동하여야 하는 경우에 원격지에 있는 파일 시스템의 파일들을 검색하는 일이 빈번히 수행되는데, 이 경우 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 사용하면 효과적인 시스템을 기대할 수 있다.

  • Recently, a number of foreign electric power companies including domestic Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) have actively engaged in the construction of a power grid with the concept of a smart grid. The Smart grid is a technology that increases the efficiency of the power by converging the information network with the power grid. It can maximize the energy efficiency through the two-way communication between the utility and the consumer. However, as the power grid converges with the information and communication network, security threats are increasing more than existing power grids. Due to the nature of the power grid, the damage caused by security threats is not only personal privacy but also economic loss of society. So smart grid becomes the target of hackers. In this paper, we discuss security vulnerabilities of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which is a core technology of smart grid construction, and the corresponding security technologies to prevent security damage of smart grid.

  • Grid computing represents the fundamental computing shift from a localized resource computing model to a fully-distributed virtual organization with shared resources. Accounting is one of the main obstacles to widespread adoption of the grid. Accounting has until recently, been a sparsely-addressed problem, particularly in practice. In this paper, we design and implement the accounting information gathering system. Implemented system is based on OGSA, following GSAX framework of RUS-WG in GGF. And the schema of gathered and serviced accounting information is following Usage Record Fields of UR-WG in GGF. Also, the accounting information integrating and monitoring tool for system management in the grid environment are implemented.
