Rapid growth of the IT industry has led to significant energy consumption in the last decade. Data centers swallow an enormous amount of electrical energy and have high operating costs and carbon dioxide excretions. In response to this, the dynamic consolidation of virtual machines (VMs) allows for efficient resource management and reduces power consumption through the live migration of VMs in the hosts. Moreover, each client typically has a service level agreement (SLA), this leads to stipulations in dealing with energy-performance trade-offs, as aggressive consolidation may lead to performance degradation beyond the negotiation. In this paper we propose a heuristic based resource allocation of VM selection and a VM allocation approach that aims to minimize the total energy consumption and operating costs while meeting the client-level SLA. Our experiment results demonstrate significant enhancements in cloud providers' profit and energy savings while improving the SLA at a certain level.

"Getting to market first" is extremely critical in this competitive business environment. The speed at which products are developed and released to market is tightly linked to profitability and market share. Many companies that have been very skeptical of Rapid Tooling (RT) technologies developed so far are working on Hybrid Tooling (HT) that can really meet the market standards. This paper describes the experimentation how HT process has been being successfully established and effectively applied with typical case study. Through the experimentation, Ceramic-filled HT was found to be aptly suited for the low grade mold, both in terms of the lead time, dimensional accuracy, and tooling cost.

IT서비스 관리에 대한 국내 시장은 전문 SI기업들의 IT아웃소싱 사업 모델을 대상으로 한다. 국내 SI기업들은 전격적으로 IT아웃소싱을 선택하고 SLA를 체결한 그룹 관계사들을 대상으로 IT서비스를 제공해왔기에, 상대적으로 해외 open market에 비해 SLA 적용 효과에 대한 해석과 설명의 노력을 간과했다. 본 연구에서는 12개 고객 기업 사례를 바탕으로, S기업의 4개년간 서비스수준 관리 이력을 분석함으로써 IT서비스 제공자의 서비스 품질 제고에 기여한 서비스수준 관리의 효과를 규명하였다. 첫째로 서비스수준 관리 항목별 목표수준 설정의 효과, 둘째, 서비스 유형별 Target-time 설정의 효과, 셋째, 고객 기업의 사업 영향도에 따른 중요도 구분의 효과, 넷째, 제재와 보상의 적용을 통한 서비스수준 관리의 효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 고객 기업과 SLA 체결을 통한 IT서비스 제공자의 서비스수준 관리 효과를 수치적 결과로 입증했다는 데 의의가 있으며, 본 연구를 기반으로 한 후속 연구과제는 IT서비스 제공자의 서비스수준 관리를 통한 서비스 품질 제고 효과가 IT아웃소싱의 비용 절감 효과에 미치는 영향 분석이 되어야 할 것으로 기대한다.

BPR은 1990년대 초에 제안되어 많은 기업의 경영 혁신 도구로 선택되어 왔다. 그러나, 대다수의 기업이 성공적인 결과를 보여주고 있지 못하고 있는 실정이며 Champy는 BPR의 실패 원인으로 '경영 패러다임의 변화 없는 경영 혁신'을 들고 있다. 본 논문에서는 BPR의 한계를 극복하고 프로세스 효율성을 극대화할 수 있는 경영 혁신 기법으로 BPO(Business Process Outsourcing)를 제안하고, BPO 품질 관리를 위해 전략적 6 시그마의 DMAIC를 활용한 SLA(Service Level Agreement) 적용 방법론을 제안하고 있다. 아웃소싱 품질을 관리하기 위한 근본적인 요인을 정의하고 이에 대한 산포 관리와 목표 수준 관리의 2단계를 반복함으로써 아웃소싱 품질을 높일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 궁극적으로는 기업의 전체 프로세스 효율성도 극대화할 수 있을 것이다.

유지보수 내용에 대한 사용자의 의견 수렴에 대한 요구사항 정의나 각 단계별 산출물 등에 대한 표준지표 등이 존재하지 않아 각각의 사업이나 시스템 별로 유지보수를 수행할 때마다 경험만을 기반으로 한 정성적인 작업이 이루어지게 되어, 유지보수 작업과 비용이 초과로 투입되는 등의 문제점들이 발생하였다. 이런 문제를 해결하고 유지보수성을 향상시키기 위해 유지보수에 대한 서비스 수준의 정확한 문제점 파악과 발생 문제점들에 대한 분석이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 표준 유지보수절차에 대해 연구하고 SLA를 적용한 유지보수 프로세스인 서비스 지향 유지보수 프로세스를 제시하고자 한다.

[ $\bigcirc$ ] In the growth simulation without changing of module with ORYZA2000, dry matter, LAI and leaf nitrogen content(FNLV) were estimated well under high nitrogen applicated condition, but overestimated under low nitrogen applicated condition. $\bigcirc$ Nitrogen stress factor on the SLA was introduced into ORYZA2000 because especially overestimated LAI under low nitrogen applicated condition was originated from SLA decrease with leaf nitrogen(FNLV) decrease. $\bigcirc$ In the growth simulation with modified SLA modified module, LAI was estimated well under even low nitrogen applicated condition, but dry matter was hardly changed compared with default. $\bigcirc$ Simulated plant nitrogen content and dry matter have no clear difference between modules, but compared with observed values, panicle weight(WSO) and rough rice yield(WRR14) were overestimated under high nitrogen applicated because of lodging, pest, disease and low nitrogen use efficiency.

계산 과학 분야에서 자원을 필요한 만큼 빌려 쓸 수 있는 클라우드 기술을 적용하여 과학 클라우드(Science Cloud)를 구축하는 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 특히 의료 분야에서는 3D 볼륨 렌더링과 갈은 고성능의 자원을 활용한 대규모 작업 계산 응용이 있다. 이러한 응용의 성공적인 작업 수행과 실시간으로 변화하는 자원 수요에 대처하여 클라우드 자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 오토 스케일링 엔진 개발이 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 오토 스케일링 엔진은 단순한 하드웨어의 성능을 기반으로 제공되고 있어 클라이언트에 따라 부하를 고려해야한다. 본 논문에는 클라이언트에 따라 가중치를 적용한 동적인 SLA 기반으로 자원 수요를 예측하고 클라우드 자원을 효율적으로 관리하는 오토 스케일링 엔진을 제안한다.

Cloud computing platform is a shared pool of resources and services with various kind of models delivered to the customers through the Internet. The methods include an on-demand dynamically-scalable form charged using a pay-per-use model. The main problem with this model is the allocation of resource in dynamic. In this paper, we have proposed a mechanism to optimize the resource provisioning task by reducing the job completion time while, minimizing the associated cost. We present the Cooperative Agents Dynamic Resource Allocation and Monitoring in Cloud Computing CADRAM system, which includes more than one agent in order to manage and observe resource provided by the service provider while considering the Clients' quality of service (QoS) requirements as defined in the service-level agreement (SLA). Moreover, CADRAM contains a new Virtual Machine (VM) selection algorithm called the Node Failure Discovery (NFD) algorithm. The performance of the CADRAM system is evaluated using the CloudSim tool. The results illustrated that CADRAM system increases resource utilization and decreases power consumption while avoiding SLA violations.

C4B and BAT2, assigned to the SLA class III region, were recently reported on relation with human diseases. The primers for RT-PCR and RACE-PCR for CDS analysis of these genes of pig were designed by aligning the CDSs of humans and mice from GenBank. After we amplified and sequenced with these primers and cDNAs, the full-length CDSs of pig were determined. The CDS lengths of C4B and BAT2 were shown as 5226 bp and 6501 bp. In addition, the identities of nucleotide sequences with human and mouse were 76% to 87%, and the identities of amino acids were 72% to 90%. After we carried out the alignment with determined CDSs in this study and pig genomic sequences from GenBank, the primers for cSNP detection in genome were designed in intron regions that flanked one or more exons. Then, we amplified and directly sequenced with genomic DNAs of six pig breeds. Four cSNPs from C4B and three 3 cSNPs from BAT2 were identified. In addition, amino acid substitution occurred in six cSNP positions except for C4248T of C4B. By the Multiplex-ARMS method, we genotyped seven cSNPs with DNA samples used for direct sequencing. We verified that this result was the same as that analyzed using direct sequencing. To demonstrate recrudescence, we performed both direct sequencing and Multiplex-ARMS on two randomly selected DNA samples. The genotype of each sample showed the same result from both methods. Therefore, seven cSNPs were identified from C4B and BAT2 and could be used as the basic data for haplotype analysis of SLA class III region. Moreover, the Multiplex-ARMS method should be powerful for genotyping of genes assigned to the whole SLA region for the xenograft study.

As the coverage of Web services become wider and the number of implementation cases is growing, the importance of applying the Web services quality model to real world is increased. For maintaining the level of Web services qualify, it should be required to study on assurance method of Web services qualify level. Assurance for Web services, which is newly proposed by OASIS TC, means the totality of activities for managing the quality level of them. For managing Web service quality, Web service associates could usually use SLA(Service Level Agreement) method in which a service consumer contracts for some service level with a service provider and gives for penalty or pays incentives according to the result of evaluation of services. But, there are some difficulties in applying SLA to Web services, because Web services have publicity, multiple users, and 3rd party for management. So, we need a new assurance method for Web service by considering the characteristics of Web services. This paper provides the new concept of committed assurance level for Web services. This concept can be defined as the set of maximum level of quality expected by each user, which provide the consistent view of Web service quality. This paper presents the method for duality associates to preserve some quality level of Web service by using this concept.
