In this paper, we propose a novel resource allocation scheme which can maximize capacity for QoS guarantee of Assured Service in Differentiated Services. Performance of the proposed resource allocation scheme is analyzed with each buffer management scheme such as RIO and Adaptive RIO. To prevent an early random drop of the admitted In-profile packet, Adaptive RIO scheme updates parameters of RIO scheme every time interval according to the estimated numbers of maximum packet arrivals of In-profile traffic and Out-of-profile traffic during the next time interval. The numbers of maximum packet arrivals during the next time interval are estimated based on the buffer size determined by the network topology and the ratio of bandwidth allocated to each subclass. We can find from simulation results that proposed resource allocation scheme with Adaptive RIO can guarantee QoS and can maximize capacity for Assured Service.

To reduce time to market for converged services, the service provider needs to combine external services and internal processes together, and IT architecture for converged services has to support it. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) enables the development of a converged service by combining external services and internal processes effectively. However, it is difficult for the existing SOA methods to support the evolution of a converged service, even though the service which consists of the converged service changes over time. In this paper, we argue that a method for profile-based dynamic service binding is required to support evolution of converged services. In order to identify requirements for the proposed method, a business scenario with a smart athletic equipment is given. We then present the concept and architecture of the method for profile-based dynamic service binding to meet the identified requirements. We also demonstrate a prototype implementation for evaluating the proposed method.

The Sensor technology and portable device capability able to collect recent user information and the information about the surrounding environment haven been highly developed. A user can be made use of various contents and the option is also extending with this technology development. In particular, the initial portable device had simply a call function, but now that has evolved into 'the 4th screen' which including movie, television, PC ability. also, in the past, a portable device to provided only the services of a SMS, in recent years, it provided to interactive video service, and it include technology which providing various contents. Also, it is rising as media which leading the consumption of contents, because it can be used anytime, anywhere. However, the contents available for the nature of user's handheld devices are limited. because it is very difficult for making the contents separately according to various device specification. To find a solution to this problem, the study on one contents from several device has been progressing. The contents conversion technology making use of the profile of device out of this study comes to the force and profile study has been progressing for this. Furthermore, Demand for a user is also increased and the study on the technology collecting, analyzing demands has been making active progress. And what is more, Grasping user's demands by making use of this technology and the study on the technology analyzing, providing contents has been making active progress as well. First of all, there is a method making good use of ZigBee, Bluetooth technology about the sensor for gathering user's information. ZigBee uses low-power digital radio for wireless headphone, wireless communication network, and being utilized for smart energy, automatic home system, wireless communication application and wireless sensor application. Bluetooth, as industry standards of PAN(Personal Area Networks), is being made of use of low power wireless device for the technology supporting data transmission such as drawing file, video file among Bluetooth device. With analyzing the collected information making use of this technology, it utilizes personalized service based on network knowledge developed by ETRI to service contents tailor-made for a user. Now that personalized service builds up network knowledge about user's various environments, the technology provides context friendly service constructed dynamically on the basis of this. The contents to service dynamically like this offer the contents that it converses with utilizing device profile to working well. Therefore, this paper suggests the system as follow. It collects the information, for example of user's sensitivity, context and location by using sensor technology, and generates the profile as a means of collected information as sensor. It collects the user's propensity to the information by user's input and event and generates profile in the same way besides the gathered information by sensor. Device transmits a generated profile and the profile about a device specification to proxy server. And proxy server transmits a profile to each profile management server. It analyzes profile in proxy server so that it selects the contents user demand and requests in contents server. Contents server receives a profile of user portable device from device profile server and converses the contents by using this. Original source code of contents convert into XML code using the device profile and XML code convert into source code available in user portable device. Thus, contents conversion process is terminated and user friendly system is completed as the user transmits optimal contents for user portable device.

In this paper, we design and implement a framework based on Web Services for effective management of the profiles that were proposed to provide a user with personalized service. The profiles must be constituted the related information of the user and could be exchanged according to cyclic.acyclic or event among user's device, profile repository and service server for providing the user with personalized service. The profiles also must be supplied the services providers that need to the profiles for the personalized service. The profile framework is necessary to provide the functions like this for managing effectively of the personalized service. The proposed framework used the Web Services for exchanging and providing the profile regardless the various devices and platform. The framework also was applied the metadata constitute method and dynamic constitute method for managing effectively of the profile. The result of experiment using proposed framework was effective process and management of the profile and could exchange the profile with regardless of platform and device. The implemented system using the proposed framework was foundation of providing the personalized services with a user by through a effective management function of the profile.

In this paper, we explore two ways to improve the bandwidth assurance performance of Assured Service(AS). It is well known that AS fails to meet the bandwidth assurance target for large-profile TCP flows competing with many small-profile flows. This flows after the back-offs induced by packet drops. Thus currently proposed solution to this problem naturally focus on modifying TCP's behavior to counter the unfairness in the TCP dynamics. Unfortunately, these proposals lack practicability in terms of the required changes in the incumbent Internet infrastructure. Admitting this difficulty, we instead look to not yet deployed Diff-Serv mechanisms for practical solutions. In particular, we investigate the role of RIO, RED with IN(in-profile) and OUT(out-profile), queue management scheme in the assurance failure for As. Specifically, we identify the inadequacy of RIO that aggravates the bandwidth assurance failure. Then we alleviates the bandwidth assurance failure problem by separately controlling the out-of-profile packet queue length. Through extensive simulations we demonstrate that RI+O extends the regime where AS consistently provides the bandwidth assurance.

Historically, IP-based internets have been able to provide a simple best-effort delivery service to all applications they carry. Best effort treats all packets equally, with no service level, packet loss, and delay. But the needs of users have changed. The want to use the new real-time, multimedia, and multicasting applications. Thus, there is a strong need to be able to support a variety of traffic with a variety of quality-of-service requirements. The DiffServ architecture, proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF), has become the most viable solution for provising QoS over IP networks. The DiffServ architecture does not specify any handling method between AF out-profile packets and BE packets. This paper propose a mechanism for supporting inter class fairness in the DiffServ architecture. Ⅰ proposed a modified Weighted Round Robin method to protect the BE traffic from AF out-profile packets in the core routers. The proposed technique is evaluated through simulation. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides better protection not only for BE packets from AF out-profile packets, but also for the AF in-profile packets in congested networks.

In offering a statistical end-to-end bandwidth guarantee service, typically called Assured Service, in Differentiated Serviced (Diff-Serv) framework, the biggest issue is its inconsistency. Larger profile TCP flows fail to achieve the guaranteed rate when competing with many smaller profile flows. This phenomenon, which we call "bandwidth skew", stems from the fact that larger profile flows take longer time to recover from the congestion window size backoff after a packet drop. Proposed solutions to this problem, therefore, are focused on modifying the TCP behavior. However, TCP modification is not practicable, mainly due to its large installation base. We look to other mechanisms in the Diff-Serv framework to find more realistic solutions. In particular, we demonstrate that RIO, the de facto standard packet differentiation mechanism used for Assured Service, also contributes to the bandwidth skew. Based on this new finding, we design a modified RIO mechanism called RI+O. RI+O uses OUT queue length in addition to IN and IN+OUT queue length to calculate OUT packet drop probability. We show through extensive simulation that RI+O significantly alleviates the bandwidth skew, expanding the operating regime for Assured Service.d Service.

In this paper, we compare the performances of RIO and RIO-DC buffer management schemes for DiffServ AF PHB standardized in IETF. For the comparison, we relatively differentiate maximum delay for each Assured Service subclass in Differentiated Services by allocating bandwidth to each subclass differently. In addition, we set the values of RIO and RIO-DC parameters considering the buffer size determined by the network topology and the ratio of bandwidth allocated to each subclass. In this simulation environment, the performances of RIO and RIO-DC schemes are analyzed focusing on the throughput of the In-profile traffic, the link utilization and the fairness. Simulation results show that the performance of RIO-DC scheme is comparable to that of RIO scheme with regard to the throughput of the In-profile traffic and the link utilization. However, under the simulation condition RIO-DC scheme improves the fairness between flows much better than RIO scheme.

It is expected that per-user customized services are widely used in next generation Personal Communication Network. The ultimate goal for personalized service is the Virtual home Environment (VHE) providing ´same-look-and-feel´ services for the subscriber wherever he roams to. To provide personalized services for each call, per-user service profiles are frequently referenced, so efficient service profile management is essentially required. To realized the VHE, typically two schemes, can be employed; One is Intelligent Network based service control and the other is a full replication scheme that always replicates profile in user´s current zone. The first scheme is referred as Central scheme and th second scheme is the modified replication scheme of IMT-2000, we refer to as Follow-Me Replication Unconditional (FMRU). Since the Central scheme only depends on the service cal rate and the FMRU is merely dependent on the movement rate, it is apparent that FMRU scheme outperforms the Central scheme if the call to mobility ratio (CMR) is large, and vice versa. In this paper, we propose a new service profile replication schemes, Adaptive Follow-Me Replication (AFMR) that determine replication automatically according to the user´s CMR. We compared the performance of the AFMR with the non-adaptive Follow-Me Replication unconditional on Demand (FMRUD) scheme. Performance results indicate that as the CMR of a user changes AFMR adapts well compared to the existing schemes.

In AI chatbot service via a messenger, a profile image of the chatbot is the first thing that users see to communicate with the chatbot. This profile image not only manages an impression about the profile owner in SNS on followers, but also makes an important impression about chatbot services on users. Thus motivated, this study investigates proper profile images tailored for the types of chatbot services and users. Specifically, I reviewed the preferred images and expressions of chatbots for each purpose of chatbot service. Then, in a case study, I collected and analyzed the representative chatbot profile images for the purpose of fun and counseling. The profile images are categorized as robot, human, animal, and abstract images. Based on these categories, I surveyed the preferred profile image of the chatbot service in either the text type or image type alternatives. For the purpose of fun, in the text version, I found that both men and women preferred a human image to others. However, in the image version, men preferred woman and robot images while women preferred cute animation character and robot images. For counseling services, both men and women preferred woman and animal images most, which is similar to the results of the text version of questionnaires as well. While both genders consistently preferred real photo images, women tend to like abstract images more than men do. I expect that the results of this study would be useful to develop the proper profile images of AI chatbot for each service purpose.
