In general, we use a Parallel processing computer manufactured specially for the purpose of parallel processing to do high performance computings. But we can depoly and use a PC cluster composed of several common PCs instead of the very expensive parallel processing computer. A common way to get a PC cluster is to adopt the star topology network connected by a switch hub. But in this paper, we grope efficient implementations of hypercube networks based on TCP/IP to connect 8 PCs directly for more useful parallel processing environment, and make evaluations on functionality and efficiency of them using ping, netperf, MPICH. The two proposed methods of implementation are IP configuration based on link and IP configuration based on node. The results of comparison between them show that there is not obvious difference in performance but the latter is more efficient in simplicity of routing table. For verification of functionality, we compare the parallel processing results of an application in them with the same in a star network based PC cluster. These results also show that the proposed hypercube networks support a perfect parallel processing environment respectively.

Nowadays, mobile robots have been used to search for uncontrolled radioactive source in indoor environments to avoid radiation exposure for technicians. However, in the indoor environments, especially in the presence of obstacles, how to make the robots with limited sensing capabilities automatically search for the radioactive source remains a major challenge. Also, the source search efficiency of robots needs to be further improved to meet practical scenarios such as limited exploration time. This paper proposes an automatic source search strategy, abbreviated as ACA: the location of source is estimated by a convolutional neural network (CNN), and the path is planned by the A-star algorithm. First, the search area is represented as an occupancy grid map. Then, the radiation dose distribution of the radioactive source in the occupancy grid map is obtained by Monte Carlo (MC) method simulation, and multiple sets of radiation data are collected through the eight neighborhood self-avoiding random walk (ENSAW) algorithm as the radiation data set. Further, the radiation data set is fed into the designed CNN architecture to train the network model in advance. When the searcher enters the search area where the radioactive source exists, the location of source is estimated by the network model and the search path is planned by the A-star algorithm, and this process is iterated continuously until the searcher reaches the location of radioactive source. The experimental results show that the average number of radiometric measurements and the average number of moving steps of the ACA algorithm are only 2.1% and 33.2% of those of the gradient search (GS) algorithm in the indoor environment without obstacles. In the indoor environment shielded by concrete walls, the GS algorithm fails to search for the source, while the ACA algorithm successfully searches for the source with fewer moving steps and sparse radiometric data.

The creation and interchange of information through the Internet network forms online community and makes Social Network Game (SNG) as a new entertainment by grafting it onto the most popular online games. SNG means the service which amalgamates social network service (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc) strong points and the fun of online game. It promotes the intimacy of relation between the friends above social network service and the gaming amusement for users. The domestic SNG market is currently fast changing according to the smart environment which is quickly shifted. The existing online game field will continuously maintain a market size. SNOG will be more developed because it is competitive from the business perspective of managing cost and production cost when compares with the existing online game. In relation to Facebook, Twitter, etc. overseas SNS platform base SNOG service, the domestic competition for launching SNG is expected to heat up as NHN, Daum and SK Communication introduce open type SNS. This study examines the successful factors and strategy for domestic SNOG by studying the case of MapleStory Adventures successful possibility. The possible successful factors are combing SNS on the existing popular online game, marketing through the existing users, and solving the platform problem of a failure factor of NexonStar. This case study is expected to contribute to the domestic SNOG industry development by providing several implications for the successful factors and strategy of SNOG which will be continuously developed.

본 논문에서는 ATM PNNI(Private Network-Network Interface) 망에서 경로 배정을 위해 필요로 하는 링크 상태 정보(link state information)를 효율적으로 집단화(aggregation)하는 두 가지 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법들은 집단화할 동료 집단(peer group)의 경계노드(border node)들을 셔플넷(shufflenet)이나 de Bruijn 그래프의 노드들로 사상시킴으로써 표현해야 할 링크의 수를 완전 그물망 방법(full-mesh approach)의 N2에서 aN(a는 정수, N은 경계노드 수)으로 줄인다. 이는 공간 복잡도가 0(N)인 신장 트리(apanning tree) 방법에서 필요로 하는 링크의 수와 비슷하지만, 신장 트리 방법과는 달리 비대칭망(asymmetric network)에서 사용할 수 있다는 것이 큰 장점이다. 모의 실험 결과 셔플넷 방법은 aN개의 링크만을 표현하면서도 상태 정보의 정확성은 완전 그물망 방법에 근접함을 알 수 있었고, de Bruijn 방법은 정보의 정확성에서는 셔플넷 방법에 못 미치지만 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 별모양 방법(star approach) 방법보다는 훨씬 정확하며, 계산 복잡도 면에서 셔플넷 방법보다 효율적이었다.

In this paper, we introduce a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective switchless wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network based on a quality-of-service supporting reservation-based medium access control (MAC) protocol. The protocol not only provides both packet and circuit switching but also supports multicasting. The network efficiency is significantly increased by spatially reusing wavelengths and exploiting multiple free spectral ranges (FSRs) of arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) employed in the architecture. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this architecture by simulating in $Optsim^{TM}$.

With the incitation to reduce power consumption and the aggressive reuse of spectral resources, there is an inevitable trend towards the deployment of small-cell networks by decomposing a traditional single-tier network into a multi-tier network with very high throughput per network area. However, this cell size reduction increases the complexity of network operation and the severity of cross-tier interference. In this paper, we consider a downlink two-tier network comprising of a multiple-antenna macrocell base station and a single femtocell access point, each serving multiples users with a single antenna. In this scenario, we treat the following beamforming optimization problems: i) Total transmit power minimization problem; ii) mean-square error balancing problem; and iii) interference power minimization problem. In the presence of perfect channel state information (CSI), we formulate the optimization algorithms in a centralized manner and determine the optimal beamformers using standard convex optimization techniques. In addition, we propose semi-decentralized algorithms to overcome the drawback of centralized design by introducing the signal-to-leakage plus noise ratio criteria. Taking into account imperfect CSI for both centralized and semi-decentralized approaches, we also propose robust algorithms tailored by the worst-case design to mitigate the effect of channel uncertainty. Finally, numerical results are presented to validate our proposed algorithms.

In this paper, the development of a fiber optic network for an integrated digital protection relay system is described. The structure of the developed network is determined to loosen the optic requirements and to have good extensibility while providing sufficient functions for protection and control for substations. The network has a hierarchical structure with two levels. The upper level handles data for monitoring and control of the system with star topology. The lower level manages the real time data for bus protection with one-to-one connections. Communication flows of each level are described. The HDLC is employed as the network protocol.
