Fault management of virtualized network environments using user-driven network provisioning systems (NPSs) is crucial for guaranteeing seamless virtual network services irrespective of physical infrastructure impairment. The network service interface (NSI) of the Open Grid Forum reflects the need for a common standard management API for the reservation and provisioning of user-driven virtual circuits (VCs) across global networks. NSI-based NPSs (that is, network service agents) can be used to compose user-driven VCs for mission-critical applications in a dynamic multi-domain. In this article, we first attempt to outline the design issues and challenges faced when attempting to provide mission-critical applications using dynamic VCs with a protection that is both user-driven and trustworthy in a dynamic multi-domain environment, to motivate work in this area of research. We also survey representative works that address inter-domain VC protection and qualitatively evaluate them and current NSI against the issues and challenges.

The most representative research network in Korea, KREONET, has developed DynamicKL, an advance reservation based Network Service Agent (NSA) for user driven virtual circuit services. DynamicKL provides reservation, provisioning, release, termination, and inquiry web services for network resources by using an open standard network service interface (NSI), as well as web services for network resources by using a GUI interface. In addition, it has the RICE interface to support a protection management function per VC for virtual circuits and reservations. In this article, a protection management per VC for provisioned VCs and reservations is addressed in the DynamicKL framework, as a contribution to the VC protection management issue, which results in more manageable and reliable VC services compared to other advance reservation frameworks. An administrator can detect successful or unsuccessful VC protections in the event of a primary link failure and successful or unsuccessful VC retrievals after a primary link repair, by using RICE.

Background: Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) is a promising material because of a high detection efficiency, good energy resolution, and operability at room temperature. However, the cost of CZT dramatically increases as its size increases. In this study, to achieve a large effective volume with relatively low cost, an array structure comprised of individual virtual Frisch-grid CZT detectors was proposed. Materials and Methods: The prototype consisted of 2 × 2 CZTs, a holder, anode and cathode printed circuit boards (PCBs), and an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). CZTs were used and the non-contacting shielding electrode method was applied for virtual Frisch-grid effect. An ASIC was used, and the holder and the PCBs were fabricated. In the current system, because the CZTs formed a common cathode, a total of 5 channels were assigned for data processing. Results and Discussion: An experiment using ¹³⁷Cs at room temperature was conducted for 10 minutes. Energy and timing information was acquired and the depth of interaction was calculated by the timing difference between the signals of both electrodes. Based on obtained three-dimensional position information, the energy correction was carried out, and as a result the energy spectra showed the improvements. In addition, a Compton image was reconstructed using the iterative method. Conclusion: The virtual Frisch-grid CZT detector based on the array structure was developed and the energy spectra and the Compton image were successfully acquired.

Proper management on user-driven virtual circuits (VCs) is essential for seamless operation of virtual networks. The Network Provisioning System (NPS) is useful software for creating user-driven VCs automatically and must take fault management into account for physical layer impairments on user-driven VCs. This paper addresses a user-driven and trusty protection management in an NPS with an open standard Network Service Interface (NSI), as a contribution to show how to implement the user-driven and trusty protection management required for user-driven VCs. In particular, it provides a RESTful web service Interface for Configuration and Event management (RICE) that enable management of a distinguished data and control plane VC status between Network Service Agents (NSAs) in the event of a node or link fault and repair in a domain. This capability represents a contribution to show how network and protection events in a domain can be monitored between NSAs (NPSs with the NSI) in multiple domains. The implemented NPS controls and manages both the primary and backup VC with disjoint path in a user-driven manner. A demonstration to verify RICE API's capability is addressed for the trusty protection in the dynamic VC network.

In this paper, a potable device application for DC-DC converter was designed for voltage protection circuit. Voltage protection circuit to offer the under voltage lock out and over voltage protection consists of a comparator and bais circuits were implemented using. XFAB 1um CMOS process, SPICE simulations was confirmed through the characteristics. Simulation results, under voltage lock out input voltage is 4.8 V higher when the turn-on and, 4.2 V less when turn-off. When the input voltage is low voltage is applied can be used to prevent malfunction of the circuit. Over voltage protection is 3.8 V reference voltage when the output voltage caused by blocking circuit prevents device destruction can be used to improve the stability and reliability. The virtual control circuits of the DC-DC converter connected. According to the results of the abnormal voltage, voltage protection circuit behavior was confirmed. The proposed voltage protection circuit of the DC-DC converter cell is useful are considered.

CCTV(Closed-Circuit Television) is increasingly exposed to CCTV per person as the number of installations increases every year for accident prevention and facility safety. The intelligent video surveillance system technology is attracting attention to the privacy protection of exposed subjects. The intelligent video surveillance system performs a process for the privacy protection so as to perform the action type of the subject and the judgment of the situation in the simple identification of the photographed image data, or to prevent the information, from which the information of the photographed subject is exposed. The proposed technique is applied to the video surveillance system and converts the original image information taken from the video surveillance system into similar image information so that the original image information is not leaked to the outside. In this paper, we propose an image conversion mechanism that inserts a virtual face image that approximates a preset similarity.

In this paper, we developed the internet-based educational software package (DVLab) for design and virtual experiment of the digital logic circuits. The DVLab consists of the LogicSim module for design and simulation of digital combinational/sequantial logic circuits, micro-controller application circuits and the BreadBoard module for virtual experiment and the Theory module for lecture and the Report/ReportChecker module and some other utility modules. All developed modules can be run as application programs as well as applets in the Internet. The LogicSim and the BreadBoard support real time clock function, output verification function on the designed circuits, trace function of logic values, copy-protection function of designed circuits and provide various devices including logic gates, TTLs, LED, buzzer, and micro-controller. The educational model of digital logic circuit design and experiment using the DVLab is also presented in this paper.
