The advent of supercomputers contribute greatly in overcoming scientific and academic problems that were previously difficult to solve. However, the supercomputer itself suffers from the problem of being considerable cost. In response, the concept of grid computing, to use the resources of distribute computers connected with each other, was created. This system uses connection oriented protocols to integrate and manage the resources of different types of distributed systems, yet it has the problem of compatibility between protocols of other types. In this paper, a system to manage grid network performance through XML-based SOAP web service which is platform-independent, is proposed.

그리드 어플리케이션을 분산, 병렬 환경에서 효과적으로 만들기 위해, 그리드 포탈시스템인 Workflow based grid portal for problem Solving Environment(WISE)를 개발해왔다. WISE는 Globus Toolkit 2를 기반으로 그리드 워크플로우 기술을 사용하여 사용자가 좀 더 쉽게 그리드 어플리케이션을 프로그래밍 할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 그러나 현재 그리드 기술은 서비스 기반 구조(Open Grid Service Architecture)로 변화하고 있고 WISE도 기술적 흐름에 따라 그것을 충족시킬 수 있도록 변화해야 한다. 그래서 서비스 기반 구조에 대응할 수 있는 워크플로우 엔진을 새로 설계하여 WISE에 적용하고자 한다. 새로 설계한 시스템은 Service Oriented Workflow System on Grid(SOWS-G)이다. 이것은 계산량이 많은 문제에 대해 효과적으로 분산, 병렬 실행을 가능하게 하고, 다양한 워크플로우 패턴을 지원하며, 웹 서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이 논문에서는 SOWS-G를 서비스 기반 그리드 환경을 지원하는 Globus Toolkit 3를 이용하여 설계한 구조를 살펴보고 웹서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 추가된 기능들에 대해서 설명하고자한다.

The use of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems is increasing due to new policies in the energy industries. However, the increase in distributed generation hinders the reliability of power systems. In order to stabilize power systems, a virtual power plant has been proposed as a novel power grid management system. The virtual power plant plays includes different distributed energy resources and energy storage systems. We define a core virtual power plant technology related to demand response and ancillary service for the cases of Korea, America, and Europe. We also suggest applications of the proposed virtual power plant to the vehicle-to-grid market for restructuring national power industries in Korea.

웹 서비스(Web Service)와 그리드 컴퓨팅(Grid Computing)은 서로 다른 목적을 위해 개발되고 있다. 하지만 두 개의 기술은 "동적이며 여러 기관에서 참여하는 가상 조직을 통한 문제 해결과 자원 공유" 와 같은 동일한 문제를 다루고 있다. Computational 웹 서비스(CWS: Computational Web Service)는 그리드 기반 기술로 웹 서비스를 사용하는 새로운 아이디어이다. 현재의 CWS 는 워커와 CWS 사이의 중개 역할을 하는 풀 서비스(Pool Service)를 각자 고유하게 하나씩 소유하고 있다. 그러나 풀 서비스가 특정 CWS 에 소속되어 있다면 자원 사용 측면에서 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 CWS 에 독립적이며 일반적인 풀 웹 서비스(PWS: Pool Web Service)와 이를 위한 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다.

Recently the increasing collaborative research requires the remote medical and clinical data sharing and access of external institutions. In this paper, an interoperability framework between Grid and PACS using Web services is proposed and implemented in order to provide flexible and efficient medical data management. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine(DICOM) standard defines medical image data exchange and transfer between PACSs and image databases. However, medical data exchange between hospitals is limited within the trusted and static environments. Moreover, DICOM does not provide medical data management and the Grid middleware does not include standard toolkit to access DICOM data. To address this issue, a Web services-based Grid Service Mediator (WGSM) which provides PACS integration and medical image data management is developed. The WGSM consists of several service mediators such as compress mediator, GridFTP mediator, RFT mediator, MyProxy mediator, MDS mediator, and RLS mediator and others. The proposed Web services-based framework provides user authentication and secure data access between PACSs in collaborative environments. In particular, the WGSM allows ordinary users to access remote PACS data in a simple and efficient manner without any the knowledge about underlying Grid middleware.

Grid accounting model is necessary to support the demand and supply of id resource. Most grid accounting systems currently in use intrude upon site autonomy by modifying local accounting systems or calculate the cost of grid service without regard to site price policy. In this paper we propose and design Grid accounting model based on site price policy. This model assures autonomy of sites participating in gird computing and be able to actively cope with diverse billing services. Also this proposed model enables to provide RUS to Grid entities by transforming basic accounting information into GGF-UR format and allows this entities to exchange resource usage information. In this paper, proposed Grid accounting model enables sites to have autonomy of them and is evaluated for business model to enforce elaborate charging policy, compared with other systems.

그리드 환경에서 OGSA(Open Grid Service Architecture)는 분산된 서비스의 이용 편의를 위한 시스템 독립적인 인터페이스를 제공한다. 하지만 OGSA 에서 사용자가 작업 수행시 필요로 하는 QoS 와 서비스의 신뢰성을 보장하기 위해, 동일한 그리드 정보 제공자를 이용하는 여러 서비스간의 공유 자원에 대한 경쟁 문제를 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 OCSA 에서 여러 서비스의 효율적인 자원 할당을 보장하는 다이나믹 Data Replication 관리를 위한 의사결정 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The measurement and management of patient satisfaction has become one of the key issues in the last two decades. Hospitals must thoroughly understand the needs of their customers and design products and health services that meet and exceed their expectations. The importance-performance analysis(IPA) is a widely used analytical technique that yields strategies for managing customer satisfaction in a variety of applications. IP A is a two-dimensional grid based on customer-perceived importance of quality attributes and attribute performance. Depending on the interplay of these two dimensions, four strategies can be derived. The aim of this study is to develop the management strategies for improving patient satisfaction in university hospitals using the I-P analysis. The attributes on inpatient service quality in 4 university hospitals was investigated using the Martilla and James(l977)' s a mean adjusted I-P grid where the axes of the grid cross at the average rating point of all items. The patient satisfaction questionnaires were completed by 600 hospital inpatients. The main statistical methods are path analysis and IPA with SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 4.0 statistical softwares. The two attributes, physician and medical service, administrative staff kindness attributes position in first quadrant(Keep Up the Good domain). The nurse and nursing service attributes position in second quadrant(Possible Overkill domain). The two attributes, convenience of check-in service, facilities and physical environment position in third quadrant(Low Priority domain). Finally the quality of inpatient service(food etc.) attributes position in fourth quadrant(Concentrate Here domain). These findings show various implications on the development of strategies in university hospitals in the future. It was determined that quality of inpatient service(food etc.) need to concentrate more on investments. These investments include a taste, price, proper provision of food service and quick response of pain management. A low priority was given to investment in streamlining the check-in process of inpatient and hospital facilities and physical environment in the long run.
