Server consolidation and virtualization have become an integral part of IT planning to reduce TCO cost and ensure the high availability for customer, enlarge the flexibility to computing resource in today' enterprise data centers. In spite of having the variety advantages of server consolidation and virtualization, they cause many problems such as the software licensing issues, virtual server sprawl, network complexity issues, hardware start-up costs, and failover costs. In particular, software licensing problem brings about the serious results in operating of data center and also presents a significant challenge to virtualization because many vendors have realized that licensing policies applicable to physical systems are not compatible with virtual machines. So, the IT planers must be considering this problem before they conducts the server consolidation and virtualization. In this paper, we proposed the efficiency strategy of SW licensing for server consolidation and virtualization analyzing the N-Datacenter case in Korea. As a result, we suggest the two strategies as technical and management/contract aspect. First, as the technical aspect, we propose i) the adaptation of suitable licensing for virtualization, ii) differentiation of license according to the characteristics of server, iii) the core distribution of licenses to minimizing. Second, as the management/contract aspect, we suggest following three things. i) The existing license agreement is changed to the right licensing for virtualization. ii) The license agreement is contracts the active focused. iii) When a new contract should be added to virtualization provisions.

Region of interest (ROI) is the most informative part of a medical image and mostly has been used as a major part of watermark. Various shapes ROIs selection have been reported in region-based watermarking techniques. In region-based watermarking schemes an image region of non-interest (RONI) is the second important part of the image and is used mostly for watermark encapsulation. In online healthcare systems the ROI wrong selection by missing some important portions of the image to be part of ROI can create problem at the destination. This paper discusses the complete medical image availability in original at destination using the whole image as a watermark for authentication, tamper localization and lossless recovery (WITALLOR). The WITALLOR watermarking scheme ensures the complete image security without of ROI selection at the source point as compared to the other region-based watermarking techniques. The complete image is compressed using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless compression technique to get the watermark in reduced number of bits. Bits reduction occurs to a number that can be completely encapsulated into image. The watermark is randomly encapsulated at the least significant bits (LSBs) of the image without caring of the ROI and RONI to keep the image perceptual degradation negligible. After communication, the watermark is retrieved, decompressed and used for authentication of the whole image, tamper detection, localization and lossless recovery. WITALLOR scheme is capable of any number of tampers detection and recovery at any part of the image. The complete authentic image gives the opportunity to conduct an image based analysis of medical problem without restriction to a fixed ROI.

네트워크 및 분산 처리 기술의 발달로 분산 환경에서 동작하는 응용 프로그램에 대한 생산성 향상이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MVC(Model, View, Controller) 패턴을 기반으로 하는 분산 응용 프로그램의 생산성 향상을 위해, 조립식 분산 응용의 작성을 지원하는 분산 객체 조립기, DOC(Distributed Object Composer)를 소개한다. 분산 객체 조립성의 기반이 되는 DOC의 구성적{{) '전체'를 창조해 내기 위해 여러 요소들을 결합, 배치하여 하나의 예술작품을 성립시키는 방법. 모아서 조립한다는 의미.}} 인터페이스(Structural Interface)는 기존 객체지향 기술의 절차적 인터페이스(Procedural Interface)에 비해 콤포넌트 재사용성을 개선하고, 분산 응용의 신속한 개발을 지원하여, 소프트웨어의 생산성 및 확장성을 향상시킨다. 또한, DOC 방식으로 모델링하고 구현한 공급망 관리(Supply Chain Management: SCM) 응용 프로그램의 조립식 작성을 통해, DOC의 실시간 정보 처리 및 조립 기능을 보인다.DOC는 이질적인 통신 환경에서 클라이언트와 서버 객체간의 네트워크 투과성을 제공하는 미들웨어, CORBA를 기반으로 한다. 또한, 분산 객체들 간의 상호작용을 자동 처리하기 위해 Java의 관찰자/피관찰자(Observer/Observable)를 확장한 분산 관찰자/피관찰자 패턴을 정의하여 DOC와, 서버 및 클라이언트의 분산 응용 객체들을 정의하기 위한 인터페이스에 적용한다.Abstract Due to the availability of advances in network and distributed processing technologies, the enhanced productivity of application software that runs on distributed environment is demanded. In this paper, we introduce the Distributed Object Composer (DOC) that supports the structural composition of distributed applications for the enhanced productivity of MVC (Model, View, Controller) pattern-based application programs. The structural interface of DOC that is the basis for the composibility of distributed objects increases the reusability of software components and provides better software productivity and extendibility than the procedural interface of the traditional object-oriented technology by supporting rapid constructions of distributed applications. In this paper, we also discuss the real-time information processing and composibility features of DOC by applying the DOC mechanism to the Supply Chain Management (SCM) application.DOC is implemented using the CORBA middleware that supports the network transparency between client and server objects on heterogeneous communication environments. We apply the distributed Observer/Observable pattern that extends the Observer/Obseverable of Java to DOC itself and distributed client/server objects as their interface definitions for the automatic interactions of distributed objects.

With the gradual advancement of IT, passive work processes are automated and the overall quality of life has greatly improved. This is made possible by the formation of an organic topology between a wide variety of real-life smart devices. To serve these diverse smart devices, businesses or users are using the cloud. The services in the cloud are divided into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS runs on PaaS, and PaaS runs on IaaS. Since IaaS is the basis of all services, an algorithm is required to operate virtualization resources efficiently. Among them, desktop resource virtualization is used for resource high availability of unused state time of existing desktop PC. Clustering of hierarchical structures is important for high availability of these resources. In addition, it is very important to select a suitable algorithm because many clustering algorithms are mainly used depending on the distribution ratio and environment of the desktop PC. If various attempts are made to find an algorithm suitable for desktop resource virtualization in an operating environment, a great deal of power, time, and manpower will be incurred. Therefore, this paper proposes a resource clustering simulator for cluster selection of desktop virtualization. This provides a clustering simulation to properly select clustering algorithms and apply elements in different environments of desktop PCs.

Information systems quality engineering is one of the most problematic areas in practice and research, and needs cooperative efforts between practice and theory [Glass, 1996]. A model for evaluating the quality of system development process and ensuing success is proposed based on information processing theory of project unit design. A nomological net among a set of quality variables is identified from prior research in the areas of organization science, software engineering, and management information systems. More specifically, system development success was modelled as a function of project complexity, system development modelling environment, user participation, project unit structure, resource availability, and the level of iterative nature of development methodology. Based on the model developed from the information processing theory of project unit design in organization science. appropriate quality metrics for each variable in the proposed model are matched. In this way, a framework of relevant systems development and success quality metrics for controlling systems development processes and ensuing success is proposed. The causal relationships among the constructs in the proposed model are proposed as future empirical research for academicians and as managerial tools for quality managers. The framework and propositions help quality manager to select more parsimonious quality metrics for controlling information systems development processes and project success in an integrated way. Also this model can be utilized for evaluating software quality assurance programmes, which are developed and marketed by many vendors.

The consumption of mobile device batteries which are limited resources is an important criterion when circuit designers analyze and evaluate circuits. For this reason, researchers conducted researches with different models of battery consumption to analyze power consumption of mobile devices. The battery consumption model generation techniques have various characteristics depending on availability of sensors, run-time model generation, and models for using in verification and testing. However, there is lack of comparison and analysis between varied battery consumption model generation methods. In this research, we compare and evaluate the analysis methods which have been studied so far to support the circuit investigation for circuit designers. Finally, we suggest the direction of researches in battery consumption analysis using the comparison result.

Recently, the plant industries are being activated and plant control systems use various technologies. Because the optimized design for the plants is very important for the reducing of operation and maintenance costs, automatic control systems become more important. Plant control systems consist of the master controller, the plant networks, the programming environment for engineering, monitoring software and the field devices. The control systems should have reliability, availability and safety. Modular architecture of hardware and software makes flexible configuration of the control systems. Each component should have diagnostic functions. It follows industrial standards and makes open systems. Open systems increase accessibility against the data which is distributed in the plants. The controllers including processor and communication modules use the up-to-date technology. They have real time and fault tolerant function by duplicating processors or networks. It also enables to make the distributed control systems. The distributed architecture makes more scalable main control system. Automatic control systems can be operated with better performance. In this paper, we analyzed the requirements of the seawater desalination plants and made some consideration facts for developing the optimized controller. Also we described the design concept of the main controller, which consists of several modules. We should validate and complement the design for the reliability and better performance.

Generally cam-follower systems consist of two elements: Cam is for rotating motion and follower for reciprocating motion. Depending on the shape of cam and type of follower, the motion of cam-follower system is determined. Thus design process and analysis process must be well defined. The design process means to find the coordinates of cam shape which can be defined the given motion of follower and the analysis process means to determine the motion curve of follower corresponding to the given cam based on the dimensions of a cam-follower system. This paper consists of two parts : One is for development of a numerical method for design and analysis of cam-follower systems, the other is for development of a CAD program and its application. As the second part of the paper, the structure of a CAD program is introduced. Four data files are used in the program where the design process and the analysis process are carried out interactively to en hence its availability to the industrial applications. The first part of the paper 'presents the iterative contact method which can determine the contact points and their angles between cam and roller.
