The 4th industrial revolution needs a fusion of artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and other technologies. For the fusion of technologies, cloud computing technology can provide flexible and high-performance computing resources so that cloud computing can be the foundation technology of new emerging services. The emerging services become a global-scale, and require much higher performance, availability, and reliability. Public cloud providers already provide global-scale services. However, their services, costs, performance, and policies are different. Enterprises/ developers to come out with a new inter-operable service are experiencing vendor lock-in problems. Therefore, multi-cloud technology that federatively resolves the limitations of single cloud providers is required. We propose a software platform, denoted as Cloud-Barista. Cloud-Barista is a multi-cloud service common platform for federating multiple clouds. It makes multiple cloud services as a single service. We explain the functional architecture of the proposed platform that consists of several frameworks, and then discuss the main design and implementation issues of each framework. To verify the feasibility of our proposal, we show a demonstration which is to create 18 virtual machines on several cloud providers, combine them as a single resource, and manage it.

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is characterized by intelligent connection, real-time data processing, collaborative monitoring, and automatic information processing. The heterogeneous IIoT devices require a high data rate, high reliability, high coverage, and low delay, thus posing a significant challenge to information security. High-performance edge and cloud servers are a good backup solution for IIoT devices with limited capabilities. However, privacy leakage and network attack cases may occur in heterogeneous IIoT environments. Cloud-based multi-party computing is a reliable privacy-protecting technology that encourages multiparty participation in joint computing without privacy disclosure. However, the default cloud selection method does not meet the heterogeneous IIoT requirements. The server can be dishonest, significantly increasing the probability of multi-party computation failure or inefficiency. This paper proposes a blockchain and smart contract-based optimized cloud node selection framework. Different participants choose the best server that meets their performance demands, considering the communication delay. Smart contracts provide a progressive request mechanism to increase participation. The simulation results show that our framework improves overall multi-party computing efficiency by up to 44.73%.

Cloud removal is often required to construct time-series sets of optical images for environmental monitoring. In regression-based cloud removal, the selection of an appropriate regression model and the impact analysis of the input images significantly affect the prediction performance. This study evaluates the potential of Gaussian process (GP) regression for cloud removal and also analyzes the effects of cloud-free optical images and spectral bands on prediction performance. Unlike other machine learning-based regression models, GP regression provides uncertainty information and automatically optimizes hyperparameters. An experiment using Sentinel-2 multi-spectral images was conducted for cloud removal in the two agricultural regions. The prediction performance of GP regression was compared with that of random forest (RF) regression. Various combinations of input images and multi-spectral bands were considered for quantitative evaluations. The experimental results showed that using multi-temporal images with multi-spectral bands as inputs achieved the best prediction accuracy. Highly correlated adjacent multi-spectral bands and temporally correlated multi-temporal images resulted in an improved prediction accuracy. The prediction performance of GP regression was significantly improved in predicting the near-infrared band compared to that of RF regression. Estimating the distribution function of input data in GP regression could reflect the variations in the considered spectral band with a broader range. In particular, GP regression was superior to RF regression for reproducing structural patterns at both sites in terms of structural similarity. In addition, uncertainty information provided by GP regression showed a reasonable similarity to prediction errors for some sub-areas, indicating that uncertainty estimates may be used to measure the prediction result quality. These findings suggest that GP regression could be beneficial for cloud removal and optical image reconstruction. In addition, the impact analysis results of the input images provide guidelines for selecting optimal images for regression-based cloud removal.

본 논문은 고품질 파노라마 영상 획득을 위하여 대상 공간을 여러 대의 카메라로 촬영 시, 촬영 정보를 제공하는 모니터링 시스템과 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 이용한 생성 과정 분산 처리에 관한 것이다. 파노라믹 비디오의 특성상 이웃 카메라 간 일정한 중복영역을 가져야 하지만 이로 인하여 동일한 촬영 대상에 대해 촬영 화각이 다르고, 카메라의 물리적인 크기로 인하여 촬영 중심점을 동일하게 맞추기 어려운 상황에서 2D 입력 영상기반으로 모니터링 하여 카메라를 보정하는 경우 시차원인으로 오보정이 발생하는 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 카메라별 촬영 화각에 따라 3차원으로 투영하여 모니터링 함으로써 카메라 오보정 문제를 최소화하고 획득 영상의 품질을 높이는 3차원 기반 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 또한 여러 영상을 하나의 영상으로 합성하는 파노라믹 비디오 생성알고리즘은 합성 정보추출과 합성, 두 부분으로 나눌 수 있는데 이를 클라우드와 클라이언트에 적절히 분산하여 고화질의 파노라믹 비디오를 효율적으로 서비스 하는 방법에 대해 제안한다.

Recently, security researches have been processed on the method to cover a broader range of hacking attacks at the low level in the perspective of hardware. This system security applies not only to individuals' computer systems but also to cloud environments. "Cloud" concerns operations on the web. Therefore it is exposed to a lot of risks and the security of its spaces where data is stored is vulnerable. Accordingly, in order to reduce threat factors to security, the TCG proposed a highly reliable platform based on a semiconductor-chip, the TPM. However, there have been no technologies up to date that enables a real-time visual monitoring of the security status of a PC that is operated based on the TPM. And the TPB has provided the function in a visual method to monitor system status and resources only for the system behavior of a single host. Therefore, this paper will propose a m-TMS (Mobile Trusted Monitoring System) that monitors the trusted state of a computing environment in which a TPM chip-based TPB is mounted and the current status of its system resources in a mobile device environment resulting from the development of network service technology. The m-TMS is provided to users so that system resources of CPU, RAM, and process, which are the monitoring objects in a computer system, may be monitored. Moreover, converting and detouring single entities like a PC or target addresses, which are attack pattern methods that pose a threat to the computer system security, are combined. The branch instruction trace function is monitored using a BiT Profiling tool through which processes attacked or those suspected of being attacked may be traced, thereby enabling users to actively respond.

The exponential proliferation of cutting-edge computing technologies has spurred organizations to outsource their data and computational needs. In the realm of cloud-based computing environments, ensuring robust security, encompassing principles such as confidentiality, availability, and integrity, stands as an overarching imperative. Elevating security measures beyond conventional strategies hinges on a profound comprehension of malware's multifaceted behavioral landscape. This paper presents an innovative paradigm aimed at empowering cloud service providers to adeptly model user behaviors. Our approach harnesses the power of a Particle Swarm Optimization-based Probabilistic Neural Network (PSO-PNN) for detection and recognition processes. Within the initial recognition module, user behaviors are translated into a comprehensible format, and the identification of malicious nano-structures behaviors is orchestrated through a multi-layer neural network. Leveraging the UNSW-NB15 dataset, we meticulously validate our approach, effectively characterizing diverse manifestations of malicious nano-structures behaviors exhibited by users. The experimental results unequivocally underscore the promise of our method in fortifying security monitoring and the discernment of malicious nano-structures behaviors.

This study used aerial and terrestrial images to build a three-dimensional model of cliffs located in Pado beach using SfM (Structure from Motion) techniques. Using both images, the study purposed to reduce the shadow areas that were found when using only aerial images. Accuracy of the two campaigns was assessed by root mean square error, and monitored by M3C2 (Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison) method. The result of the M3C2 in closed areas such as sea cave and notch did not express the landforms partly. However, eroded debris on sea cliffs were detected as eroded area by M3C2, as well as in captured pictures by multi-camera. The result of this study showed the applicability of multi-camera and SfM in monitoring changes of sea cliffs.

GOCI 영상은 육상 관측에 적합한 공간해상도와 빠른 관측주기를 가지고 있지만, 현재까지 육상분야에 활용된 예가 많지 않다. GOCI 영상이 육상분야에 활용되기 위해서는 정교한 전처리가 수행되어 신뢰성을 갖춘 기본적인 산출물 형태로 제공되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 GOCI 영상의 육상 활용을 위하여 구름의 영향이 최소화된 기본 산출물 제작에 필요한 구름 탐지 기법을 제안하였다. GOCI 영상은 구름 탐지에 효과적인 단파적외선(SWIR)과 열적외선(TIR) 밴드가 없기 때문에, 이 연구에서는 GOCI 영상의 장점인 빠른 관측 주기로 얻어지는 많은 다중시기영상을 이용하여 구름을 탐지하는 방법을 개발하였다. 제안한 구름탐지 기법은 세 단계로 구성된다. 1단계와 2단계에서는 1번 밴드 반사율과 1번과 8번 밴드의 반사율 비(b1/b8)에 임계값을 적용하여 완전 맑음(confident clear)과 두꺼운 구름(thick cloud)을 구분했다. 마지막 단계에서는 3일 동안 얻어진 b1/b8 값의 평균을 임계값으로 하여 얇은 구름(thin cloud)을 구분하였다. 이러한 순차적인 구름탐지 알고리즘을 적용하여 모두 4개의 등급으로 분류하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법을 GOCI 영상에 적용 후 그 결과를 MODIS 구름 산출물(cloud mask products)과 비교 검증하였다. 여러 시기의 영상에서 추출된 구름 면적을 비교한 결과 평균제곱근오차(RMSE)가 10% 미만으로 MODIS 구름 산출물과 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 육안 분석을 통해 구름의 공간적인 분포를 비교한 결과, MODIS 산출물과 비슷한 구름 분포를 보여주었다.

5G 네트워크의 등장으로 초저지연 서비스에 대한 요구가 제기되었다. 그러나, 사용자로부터 지리적으로 멀리 위치한 클라우드 센터의 컴퓨팅 서비스로는 이러한 요구를 만족할 수 없다. 이러한 요구에 따라 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스를 사용자 근처에 위치한 기지국 혹은 교환국에 전진 배치하여 저지연 서비스를 제공하는 Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) 기술이 주목받고 있다. 우리는 구글의 Kubernetes를 기반으로 MEC를 위한 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경을 구축하였다. 이때, 안정적인 동작 확인을 위해 많은 수의 컨테이너가 발생시키는 로드에 강건하게 견딜 수 있는지 실험적으로 확인할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 우리는 Kubernetes 환경에서 다양한 컨테이너를 생성하여 네트워크 자원과 컴퓨팅 자원의 안정도를 측정할 수 있는 도구를 개발하였다.
