The Next generation network may describe one integrated network by IP (Internet Protocol) convergence and combining various access technologies. The IP version 6 (IPv6) becomes fundamental protocol and the terminal offered various services is having mobility, multihoming, and intelligent as well as smaller. In this convergence network, which integrate mobile network, broad cast network, and Internet as well as PSTN, can provide all of the service. In this context, we will briefly present that the end node should be required ubiquitous computing and networking. That is to say that we must guarantee the end node in any time, my place, my where, and offer continuously services to the node. As like this, Service Mobility is given if a user can obtain subscribed and personalized services consistently even if connected to a foreign network service provider. In other words, Service mobility allows users to maintain access to their services even while moving or changing devices and network service providers. In this paper, we have to refer technical consideration items to make the service mobility framework.

The majority of next generation information systems will be working on portable mobile devices such as smartphones. REST Open API web services have quickly become popular among mobile application development. The use of REST web services are not only growing in popularity but totally changing the way of mobile applications development. This is because REST web services could be used in application development as a form of building blocks, which is completely independent, compatible, to any platforms. With this strength, REST web services encourage third party application to build add-on functionality. This research proposes the use of REST web service to replace the use of socket APIs into major internet communication APIs. To this end, this paper also provide performance evaluation of the REST web services compared to the conventional socket APIs, focusing on scalability by analytical and experimental evaluations. Finally, we summarize the possibility whether REST Open API web services have enough performance as future major internet communication primitive APIs.

Ships built today are larger in scale and feature more complex structures. The ever-evolving systems used on board a ship require vast amounts of data processing. In the future, with the advent of smart ships, unmanned ships and other next-generation ships, the volumes of data to be processed will continue to increase. Yet, to date, ship data has been processed using wired networks. Placed at fixed locations, the nodes on wired networks often fail to process data from mobile devices. Despite many attempts made to use Wi-Fi on ships just as on land to create wireless networks, Wi-Fi has hardly been available due to the complex metal structures of ships. Therefore, Wi-Fi on ships has been patchy as the ship-wide total Wi-Fi coverage has not properly implemented. A new ship-wide wireless network environment is part of the technology conducive to the shipbuilding industry. The wireless network environment should not only serve the purpose of communication but also be able to manage and control multiple features in real-time: fault diagnostics, tracking, accident prevention and safety management. To better understand the characteristics of wireless frequencies for ships, this paper tests the widely used TETRA, UHF and Wi-Fi and sheds light on the features, advantages and disadvantages of each technology in ship settings. The proposed deployment of a Super Wi-Fi network leveraging the legacy UHF system of TMS generates a ship-wide wireless network environment. The experimental findings corroborate the feasibility of the proposed ship-wide Super Wi-Fi network environment.

This paper proposes an energy-efficient cache and memory management scheme for next-generation IoT devices. The proposed scheme adopts a low-power phase-change memory (PCM) as the main memory of IoT devices, aims at minimizing the write traffic to PCM, which is vulnerable to write operations. Specifically, when a cache block of the last-level cache memory is flushed to main memory, the cache block that causes less writes to PCM is preferentially replaced by tracking the modifications of each cache line that constitutes the cache block. In addition, by considering the reference bit of the cache block and the dirty bit of the cache lines, our scheme reduces the energy consumption without degrading the memory system performances. Through simulations using SPEC benchmarks, it is shown that the proposed scheme reduces the write traffic to PCM by 34.6% on average and the power consumption by 28.9%, without memory performance degradations.

Various types of memory architectures have been developed, and various compiler optimization techniques have been studied to efficiently use them. In particular, since a memory is a major component that determines performance in mobile computing devices, various optimization techniques have been developed to support them. Recently, a lot of research on hybrid type memory architecture is being conducted, so various compiler techniques are being studied to support it. Existing compiler optimization techniques can be used to achieve the required minimum performance and constraint on low power according to market requirements. References for determining the low-power effect and the degree of performance improvement using these optimization techniques are not properly provided yet. This study was conducted to provide the experimental results of the existing compiler technique as a reference for the development of multibank memory architecture.

In modern society, digital lifestyles are spreading to minimize contact with people and to receive contactless information. The spread trend has established an unmanned distribution system in which transactions through contactless technologies such as kiosks and chatbots are activated in face-to-face transactions with sellers and consumers. In order to streamline logistics supply worldwide, digital new deal based joint logistics hubs, unmanned courier storage platforms, and fresh logistics based last mile services have been developed into unmanned logistics systems, focusing on the intelligent logistics system automation process. Unmanned courier storage system installed in urban areas and home to daily logistics where volume is concentrated are provided with fresh logistics services through cold chain and receiving freights in contactless environments. Development is also underway to minimize safety accidents caused by courier services, such as managing various information based on the integrated control system. This paper defines the concept of integrated operation for the development of a platform for contactless unmanned courier storage device developed into next-generation logistics system. In addition, we intend to develop systems engineering-based output for deriving safety requirements and specifications by identifying risk sources that may occur in the operational scenario. Therefore, the goal is to establish a foundation for safety and reliability between interfaces of logistics systems to be installed in apartment and subway station environments that want to provide unmanned logistics services to various consumers.

As the next-generation network architecture, software-defined networking (SDN) has great potential. But how to forward data packets safely is a big challenge today. In SDN, packets are transferred according to flow rules which are made and delivered by the controller. Once flow rules are modified, the packets might be redirected or dropped. According to related research, we believe that the key to forward data flows safely is keeping the consistency of flow rules. However, existing solutions place little emphasis on the safety of flow rules. After summarizing the shortcomings of the existing solutions, we propose FRChain to ensure the security of SDN data forwarding. FRChain is a novel scheme that uses blockchain to secure flow rules in SDN and to detect compromised nodes in the network when the proportion of malicious nodes is less than one-third. The scheme places the flow strategies into blockchain in form of transactions. Once an unmatched flow rule is detected, the system will issue the problem by initiating a vote and possible attacks will be deduced based on the results. To simulate the scheme, we utilize BigchainDB, which has good performance in data processing, to handle transactions. The experimental results show that the scheme is feasible, and the additional overhead for network performance and system performance is less than similar solutions. Overall, FRChain can detect suspicious behaviors and deduce malicious nodes to keep the consistency of flow rules in SDN.
