The traditional client-server model RPC and mobile agents have been used for interprocess communication between processes in different hosts. The performances of two mechanisme were analyzed in the literature [4, 6, 9]. But the security services which extensively affect the performance of systems because of low speed have not been considered. We propose two performance models considering the security services for the RPC and the mobile agent Through the analysis of the models, we show that the execution time of the mobile agent takes less than the RPC In the environment considering security services.

실 환경 로봇에 강화학습을 적용하기 위해서는 가상 환경 시뮬레이션이 필요하다. 그러나 가상 환경을 구축하는 플랫폼은 모두 다르고, 학습 알고리즘의 구현에 따른 성능 편차가 크다는 문제점이 있다. 또한 학습을 적용하고자 하는 대상이 실세계의 하드웨어 사양이 낮은 스마트 로봇인 경우, 계산량이 많은 학습 알고리즘을 적용하기는 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 해당 문제를 해결하기 위해 Unity3D에서 제공하는 강화학습 프레임인 ML-Agents 모듈을 사용하여 실 환경의 저사양 스마트 로봇에 장애물을 회피하고 탐색하는 모델의 강화학습을 적용해본다. 본 연구의 유의점은 가상 환경과 실 환경의 유사함과 일정량의 노이즈 발생 처리이다. 로봇의 간단한 행동은 원만하게 학습 및 적용가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Our approach permits to capitalize the expert's knowledge as business rules by using an agent-based platform. The objective of our approach is to allow experts to manage the daily evolutions of business domains without having to use a technician, and to allow them to be implied, and to participate in the development of the application to accomplish the daily tasks of their work. Therefore, the manipulation of an expert's knowledge generates the need for information security and other associated technologies. The notion of cryptography has emerged as a basic concept in business rules modeling. The purpose of this paper is to present a cryptographic algorithm based approach to integrate the security aspect in business rules modeling. We propose integrating an agent-based approach in the framework. This solution utilizes a security agent with domain ontology. This agent applies an encryption/decryption algorithm to allow for the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the most important rules. To increase the security of these rules, we used hybrid cryptography in order to take advantage of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. We performed some experiments to find the best encryption algorithm, which provides improvement in terms of response time, space memory, and security.

Zen Cart is an open-source online store management system. It is used all over the world because of its stability and safety. Today, Zen Cart's session security mechanism is mainly used to verify user agents and check IP addresses. However, the security in verifying the user agent is lower and checking the IP address can affect the user's experience. This paper, which is based on the idea of session protection as proposed by Ben Adida, takes advantage of the HTML5's sessionStorage property to store the shared keys that are used in HMAC-SHA256 encryption. Moreover, the request path, current timestamp, and parameter are encrypted by using HMAC-SHA256 in the client. The client then submits the result to the web server as per request. Finally, the web server recalculates the HMAC-SHA256 value to validate the request by comparing it with the submitted value. In this way, the Zen Cart's open-source system is reinforced. Owing to the security and integrity of the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm, it can effectively protect the session security. Analysis and experimental results show that this mechanism can effectively protect the session security of Zen Cart without affecting the original performance.

This paper describes intrusion detection rule management using mobile agents. Intrusion detection can be divided into anomaly detection and misuse detection. Misuse detection is best suited for reliably detecting known use patterns. Misuse detection systems can detect many or all known attack patterns, but they are of little use for as yet unknown attack methods. Therefore, the introduction of mobile agents to provide computational security by constantly moving around the Internet and propagating rules is presented as a solution to misuse detection. This work presents a new approach for detecting intrusions, in which mobile agent mechanisms are used for security rules propagation. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compared the workload data between a rules propagation method using a mobile agent and a conventional method. Also, we simulated a rules management using NS-2 (Network Simulator) with respect to time.

The cotton contains various impurities such as protein, wax, pectins, coloring matter, even though cotton has been a major source of pure cellulose. The purification processes have been commonly applied to obtain the pure cellulose. However the excessive purification treatments could lead to the damage in the cellulose structure which could result in the degradation of cellulose and the limited application of cotton cellulose. In this study, the changes in cellulose structural properties such as crystallinity and DP(degree of polymerization) by the various conditions of the purification processes were investigated. The less toxic agents such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium silicate were applied for the purification treatment in this study. The increase in the process times, the temperature and the applied amount of chemical agents resulted in the more purified cellulose. The DP of cotton cellulose was increased at the first weak conditions by the reduction of small molecules such as pectin, wax, and so on. Especially the 2 % addition amount of $H_2O_2$ with $Na_2SiO_3$ resulted in the higher value in the DP and the brightness compared to the 1.5 % addition amount of $H_2O_2$. However, the 4 % addition amount of $H_2O_2$ with $Na_2SiO_3$ showed the decreased value because of excessive treatment. In case of the changes in the crystallinity (Gjk), the highest value of the crystallinity was obtained by the 2% addition amount of $H_2O_2$ on the cotton cellulose, which showed similar with the change in the DP.

As the utilization of cloud computing service rapidly increases to meet demands for various forms of service recently, the virtualization technology has made a rapid rise, further leading to some issues related to security, such as safety and reliability. As a system to provide environments what multiple virtual operating systems can be loaded, hypervisors may be a target of various attacks, such as control loss and authority seizure, since all the agents fcan be damaged by a malicious access to the virtualization layer. Therefore, this paper was conducted to investigate the access control for agents and suggest a plan to control malicious accesses to the cloud virtualization internal environment. The suggested technique was verified not to have effect on the performance of the system and environment through an analysis of its performance.

Objectives of this study is develop security services through determinants analysis on the efficiency of security works regarding security and guarding business in Korea because nowadays the modern society like Korea let alone all over the world faces the increase of dangerous factors in every security field of the human societies, and also it is the very present situation that an individual's life even the national security itself can be at the risk without guaranteeing the efficiency of the security services. For this purpose, this study reviewed related documents, surveyed and interviewed security personnels to identify what the potentially influential factors are in both the public and private security organizations regarding the efficiency of present security services and organizations, and what differences are. Also, comparing the public and private security sectors, this study intended to suggest policy agendas how to enhance the efficiency of security services in the future. This study surveyed the 177 agents and former agents of the Presidential Security Service(PSS) for the public security sector, and also surveyed, interviewed, and internet-based polled 821 randomly selected personnels for the private security sector. This research showed that regarding the efficiency of the security services number of independent variables which had positive responses in the public security sector was more than that in the private security sector. Among the 21 questions regarding this issue, there were all of 21 positive responses in the public security sector while there were 18 negative responses in the private security sector. As a result of synthesizing all the answers of the both sides, it is possible to understand that mostly the ratio of the positive response was much higher. In the public security service, statistically significant variables were budget support for events, prior access of information, an integrated teamwork training, organizational atmosphere, morale of organization personnel. However, practical training of the security service and mutual communication showed unexpectedly negative(-) signs. In the private security service, statistically significant variables were budget support for events, integrated teamwork training, socially friendly atmosphere, compensation for the personnels, bullet-proof equipments and vehicles, mood of organization, personnel recruit and disposition, unexpected incidents and basic attitude for security services. In sum, while organizational personnel variables and organizational management variables were significant in the public security service, some organizational management variables and all socio-environment variables were statistically significant at 5% significance level.
