With the explosive proliferation of smart devices that may be connected to the fast Internet, virtual desktop interfaces(VDI) are being implemented in enterprises allowing employees to work anywhere anytime in the same technological environment. As this kind of systems are intended to raise the work performance, a research model is constructed from the review of research literature on service quality and work design. The model consists of VDI system service quality (ubiquity, availability, compatibility, security and ease of use), system satisfaction, task performance and job satisfaction. As VDI is designed as a support system for cooperative work, the task interdependence adopted from the work design theory is postulated here as moderating the effect of user satisfaction on task performance and job satisfaction. 147 data points were collected by a survey of VDI users in a global firm and subjected to PLS analysis. Interestingly, ubiquity and compatibility seem to be not statistically significant for user satisfaction while availability, security and ease of use of VDI system are statistically significant. Task interdependence is found to be a relatively strong mediator between system user satisfaction and task performance, however, interestingly, the coefficient come out as negative. This may indicate that the influence of VDI user satisfaction on task performance would not be high in highly interdependent tasks. Considering that VDI is intended for supporting 'interdependence' in cooperative work, this finding is a bit surprising. In-depth discussions are made in the discussion followed by future research directions.

In this paper, we introduce the client side cache of distributed file system for enhancing read performance by eliminating the network latency and decreasing the back-end storage burden. This performance enhancement can expand the fields of distributed file system to not only cloud storage service but also high performance storage service. This paper shows that the distributed file system with client side SSD cache can satisfy the requirements of VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) storage. The experimental results show that full-clone is more than 2 times faster and boot time is more than 3 times faster than NFS.

The study of Cloud based system is emerging to become the core technology in IT field due to the tremendous growth of Cloud Computing. Researches to deliver applications to Thin-Client based mobile virtual machine and Desktop as a Service(DaaS) using Cloud Computing are conducted actively. In this paper, we propose a Cloud system to run the mobile application in the mobile Thin-Client device and resource allocation mechanism Dynamic Resource Allocation Manager for Mobile Application(DRAMMA). Thus, through performance check, we show DRAMMA has improved the utilization of Cloud system, less migration of virtual machines and decreased the error rate of resource allocation. Also our proposed system delivers service more efficiently than the previous resource allocation algorithm.

Cache based live migration method utilizes a cache, which is accessible to both side (remote and local), to reduce the virtual machine migration time, by transferring only irredundant data. However, address space layout randomization (ASLR) is proved to reduce the memory duplicate ratio between targeted migration memory and the migration cache. In this pager, we analyzed the behavior of ASLR to find out how it changes the physical memory contents of virtual machines. We found that among six virtual memory regions, only the modification to stack influences the page-level memory duplicate ratio. Experiments showed that: (1) the ASLR does not shift the heap region in sub-page level; (2) the stack reduces the duplicate page size among VMs which performed input replay around 40MB, when ASLR was enabled; (3) the size of memory pages, which can be reconstructed from the fresh booted up state, also reduces by about 60MB by ASLR. With those observations, when applying cache-based migration method, we can omit the stack region. While for other five regions, even a coarse page-level redundancy data detecting method can figure out most of the duplicate memory contents.

In this paper we propose ubiquitous virtual reality framework and its application for fostering a sustainable content ecosystem in the convergence space of virtual reality and real space. The ubiquitous virtual reality framework supports fundamental infrastructure which consists of platforms for end-users and service providers and dual space management. The platform for the service provider allows experts to generate contents related to real objects while the platform for the end-users allows to consume, share and regenerate the contents contextually augmented over real objects. The dual space management stores, visualizes and provides the contents generated and extended by them for connecting different users and service providers. The proposed framework allows users to continuously generate, share and extend the contents and thus contribute to making multimedia service environment. We also implemented and evaluated the framework consisting of a desktop authoring platform, mobile authoring platform and a dual space management server. We then introduced a promising application scenario to show how the content ecosystem is empowered by ubiquitous virtual reality framework and is realized in our life. Consequently, we are expecting that the ubiquitous virtual reality technology will play a vital role in building continuously evolving multimedia service environment for the future computing environment.

The major components of IoT(Internet of Things) environment are IoT devices rather than the conventional desktop computers. One of the intrinsic characteristics of IoT devices is diversity in view of data type and data access method. In addition, IoT devices usually deal with real-time data. In order to use such IoT data for internal business or cloud services, an IoT platform capable of easy domain management and consistent data access interface is required. This paper proposes a Linux FUSE-based virtual file system connecting IoT devices on POSIX file system view. It is possible to manage IoT domain with the native Linux utilities such as mkdir, mknod, ls and find in the file system. Also, the file system makes it possible to access or control IoT devices through POSIX interface such as open(), read(), write() or close() without any separate APIs or utilities. A test result shows that the management performance of the file system is lower than that of linux file system negligibly.
