In distributed computing paradigm, mobile surrogate systems have not gained wide acceptance because of security concerns that have not been suitably addressed yet. Currently even the widely used Grid middleware, Globus, does not have a host authentication mechanism, which makes it hard to provide high performance Grid computing capabilities to mobile clients. In this paper, a mobile Grid service framework is designed and implemented in order to provide Grid services to mobile host such as PDA. The surrogate host-based system allows mobile hosts to be provided with Grid services while moving. The implemented mobile Grid services system has been applied to mobile healthcare system which utilizes Grid computing for ECG signal processing. The presented system framework can be used as a secure enterprise mobile healthcare system for hospital physicians.

Recently, in according as rapid improvement of telecommunication markets and wireless internet technology, Location- Based Services (LBS) have been discussed as new 'Killer' application. The purpose of LBS is to determine location of user through mobile handset and to offer location information service to end-user. This paper has suggested an efficient transmission scheme of maps data as one of the important content services relating to data transmission of LBS in mobile environment. The basic system consists of three parts : (1) GIS (Geographic Information System) Server for storing, processing and handling map data, (2) Middleware Server for transmitting of map data by request of client, and (3) Client for requesting map data to Server and displaying them on handset. Also, in order to transmit map data, we are to expand WKB (Well Known Binary) in conformance to Simple Feature Specification of OGC (Open GIS Consortium), and increase efficiency of data transmission by developing trans mission data format to be able to transmit lightweight data and considering data compression technology.

Most security solutions and middleware on home network consider internet users as approaching subject. It is unrealistic where the most subjects are mobile users who want to control home network devices. Therefore minor and fast certification structures are needed to control other devices with mobile device that has lower computing capacity. To solve the above problems, this paper wants to build safe certification frame work for internet and mobile users to control household devices safely. New certification structure is proposed to get out of heavy certification structure like PKI and to minimize encrypting and decrypting operation by compounding session key and public key.

As the features of mobile phones are being enhanced and the performance is being greatly improved, the generic operating systems are being incrementally used in mobile phones. However, since the mobile phones have different requirements in both features and performance compared with desktop or server systems, the operating systems for generic systems could not be used without customization and modification. This case study paper describes the design and implementation of a Linux-based smartphone hardware and software. The enhancements and additional implementations in both kernel and middleware layers are explained. As an experiment, the power consumption of the implemented mobile phone under a number of user scenarios has been measured.

Grid는 고성능의 프로세스와 네트워크의 발전으로 인한 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 이기종성을 극복하고, 대규모의 자원 및 데이터를 관리하고, 고속의 연산 수행이 가능한 시스템 개발을 가능하게 하였다. 또한, 현재 국가 및 대학 연구소를 중심으로 가상 환경에서의 협업 및 정보 공유가 가능한 가상 조직을 구축을 목표로 하고 있다. Grid는 고정된 분산 시스템을 기반으로 연구되고 있으며, 현재 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화의 축인 이동성을 고려하지 않고 있다. 경량화 된 프로세스는 이동기기의 대중화를 가져왔으며, 무선 네트워크의 저가화로 인해 무선 인터넷을 통한 컨텐츠 및 어플리케이션의 사용이 범람하게 되었다. 컴퓨팅 자원들의 산재와 이동성의 부여 둥의 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화는 사용자 중심의 컴퓨터 패러다임을 낳았으며, Grid 환경의 계속적인 발전을 위해서는 이러한 변화 수용이 필수적이다. 또한 변화된 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 사용자의 요구사항들에 대한 Grid 컴퓨팅 환경의 적용에 관한 많은 문제점들이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 관점을 고려하여 이동 컴퓨팅 환경의 인프라들을 기반으로 기존의 Grid 컴퓨팅과의 연동을 고려하여 적응성 및 재구성이 가능한 Mobile-Grid 아키텍처를 제시하고, 가상 조직 내에서 확장성, 유연성, 호환성, 개방성 둥의 특징을 가지는 Mobile-Grid의 미들웨어를 제안한다.

In a cloud computing environment, various solutions were introduced to provide the service to users such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS). Nowadays, Mobile as a Service (MaaS) to provide the mobility in a cloud environment. In other words, users must have access to data and applications even when they are moving. Thus, to support the mobility to a mobile Thin-Client is the key factor. Related works to support the mobility for mobile devices were Mobile IPv6 and Proxy Mobile IPv6 which showed performance drawbacks such as packet loss during hand-over which could be very critical when collaborating with cloud computing environment. The proposed model in this paper deploys middleware and replica servers to support the data transmission among cloud and PMIPv6 domain. It supports efficient mobility during high-speed movement as well as high-density of mobile nodes in local mobility anchor. In this paper, through performance evaluation, the proposed scheme shows the cost comparison between previous PMIPv6 and verifies its significant efficiency.

As R&D(Research and Development) is going on actively to develop technologies for the ubiquitous computing environment, which Is the human-oriented future computing environment, GIS dealing with spatio-temporal data is emerging as a promising technology. This also increases the necessity of the middleware for providing services to give interoperability in various heterogeneous environments. The core technologies of the middleware are real-time processing technology of data streams coming unceasingly from positioning systems and data stream processing technology developed for non-spatio-temporal data. However, it has problems in processing queries on spatio-temporal data efficiently. Accordingly, this paper designed and implemented the spatio-temporal middleware that provides interoperability between a mobile spatio-temporal DBMS(DataBase Management System) and a server spatio-temporal MMDBMS(Main Memory DataBase Management System). The spatio-temporal middleware maintains interoperability among heterogeneous devices and guarantees data integrity in query processing through real-time processing of unceasing spatio-temporal data streams and two way synchronization of spatio-temporal DBMSs. In addition, it manages session for the connection of each spatio-temporal DBMS and manages resources for its stable operation. Finally, this paper proved the usability of the spatio-temporal middleware by applying it to a real-time position tracking system.

Web services are key applications in business­to-business, business-to-customer, and enterprise applications integration solutions. As the mobile internet becomes one of the main methods for information delivery, mobile Web Services are regarded as a critical aspect of e-business architecture. In this paper, we proposed a mobile Web Services middleware that converts conventional internet services into mobile Web services. We implemented a WSDL (Web Service Description Language) builder that converts HTML/XML into WSDL and a SAOP (Simple Object Access Protocol) message processor that performs SOAP message handling, chain and handling of server requests. The former minimizes the overhead cost of rebuilding mobile Web Services and enables seamless services between wired and wireless internet services. The latter enhances SOAP processing performance by eliminating the Servlet container (Tomcat), a required component of typical Web services implementation. Our main contributions are to overcome the latency problem of current Web Services and to provide an easy mobile Web service implementation. Our system can completely support standard Web Services protocol, minimizing communication overhead, message processing time, and server overload. Finally we compare our empirical results with those of typical Web Services.
