  • Cloud computing is becoming an effective and efficient way of computing resources and computing service integration. Through centralized management of resources and services, cloud computing delivers hosted services over the internet, such that access to shared hardware, software, applications, information, and all resources is elastically provided to the consumer on-demand. The main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. Virtualization software creates a temporarily simulated or extended version of computing and network resources. The objectives of virtualization are as follows: first, to fully utilize the shared resources by applying partitioning and time-sharing; second, to centralize resource management; third, to enhance cloud data center agility and provide the required scalability and elasticity for on-demand capabilities; fourth, to improve testing and running software diagnostics on different operating platforms; and fifth, to improve the portability of applications and workload migration capabilities. One of the key features of cloud computing is elasticity. It enables users to create and remove virtual computing resources dynamically according to the changing demand, but it is not easy to make a decision regarding the right amount of resources. Indeed, proper provisioning of the resources to applications is an important issue in IaaS cloud computing. Most web applications encounter large and fluctuating task requests. In predictable situations, the resources can be provisioned in advance through capacity planning techniques. But in case of unplanned and spike requests, it would be desirable to automatically scale the resources, called auto-scaling, which adjusts the resources allocated to applications based on its need at any given time. This would free the user from the burden of deciding how many resources are necessary each time. In this work, we propose an analytical and efficient VM-level scaling scheme by modeling each VM in a data center as an M/M/1 processor sharing queue. Our proposed VM-level scaling scheme is validated via a numerical experiment.

  • In the decommissioning and decontamination(D&D) planning stage, it is important that the scenarios are evaluated from an engineering point of views because the decommissioning work has to be executed economically and safely by following the best scenarios. Therefore, we need to develope several modules to evaluate the decommissioning scenarios. In this paper, the digital mock-up system is constructed in the virtual space to simulate the whole decommissioning process. The schedule evaluating equation and cost evaluation equation are derived to calculate the working time and the expected cost. And in order to easily identify the radiation level about the activated objects, the radiation visualization module is developed. Finally, on the basis of the obtained results from the Digital Mock-up and other important factors, the evaluating method of the scenarios that can indicate the best scenario is described.

  • 이 논문에서는 ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) 방식의 초고속망의 장애 발생 시 이용자 연결의 QoS (Quality of Service)를 고려하여 복구할 수 있게 하는 보호 망 설계 방안을 제시한다. 제시한 설계 방안에 기초한 비용과 복구 특성을 분석과 모의 실험을 통해 알아본다. 제안하는 망에서의 복구는 분리 VP 그룹 (Disjoint Virtual Path Group, DVPG) 을 사용하는 상태 독립적 (State- independent) 방식으로 복구된다. ATM 망의 운용 및 보호 VP 할당과 용량 배정 문제를 정의하고 이를 바탕으로 최소의 비용을 갖는 VP 망을 설계한다. 망의 고장 시 기존 노드간의 VP 연결은 미리 할당된 링크 또는 노드 분리 보호 VP 경로를 따라 간단한 복구 알고리즘에 의해 빠르게 복구된다. QoS의 고려는 추가 비용을 필요로 하지만 정확한 이용자 연결의 복구를 실현하며, 분리 VP 그룹의 적용은 비용을 상승시키지만, 빠른 복구와 복수의 고장에 대처할 수 있는 방안이 된다.Abstract A cost evaluation of protection scheme for VP-based ATM network is presented here and its related characteristics are evaluated. The proposed and evaluated scheme is a state-independent restoration scheme using a disjoint path group. For fast and simple restoration of failed connections, link disjoint or node disjoint VP groups (DVPG) were utilized in this paper. A VP assignment and capacity planning problem is formulated. When failure occurs, the failed working VPs are switched to the protection VPs of disjoint path groups with a simple restoration scheme. And, cost evaluation and restoration characteristics are presented. The consideration of multiple QoS (Quality of Service) levels and disjoint path group protection scheme require additional network cost but acquire fit and fast restoration.

  • Even though graphical simulation is very useful for construction planning, the application of graphical simulation has a limitation in dealing with objects without fixed form like earthmoving process. In this case, the mathematical/statistical simulation about the productivity of the whole processes based on the numerical data of working time, waiting time and working capacity of using equipment becomes effective. The mathematical/statistical simulation is not fully utilized in the field of construction due to the difficulties of creating process models and securing trust the numerically expressed results of simulation. In this research, the output of discrete-event simulation programs which are the most common mathematical/statistical simulation tool for construction processes were analyzed for the purpose of earthmoving process visualization. The purpose of this research is to develop a graphical simulation system that can help the construction planner select most suitable equipment and construction methods through the visualize the numerical simulation results of the working time, the queuing time as well as the amount resources etc.

  • This study reviewed different results according to the selection of viewpoints and considerations of the neighborhood in the analysis of view to regulate the height of buildings. To do this, 4 cases were set according to the analytical methodology and a GIS simulation was performed. Characteristics of each methodology were compared and analyzed by simulated values with ANOVA(analysis of variance) and post-hoc analysis. First, the method using moving viewpoints was found to be appropriate for the regulation of building height as it could reflect basic characteristics of landscape which was sequential and it did not show big difference in analysis result according to situational setting. Second, the method using grid viewpoints showed a problem that viewpoints at left and right sides viewed ridges of other mountains than the background mountains of the target land. Additionally, the simulation method that induces three-dimensional cross-sections between multiple sight-surface and virtual construction points created at viewpoints used in this study was found to be useful in the simulation review with various settings as it induced the marginal height of the spot quantitatively.

  • CALS, Enterprise Integration, Virtual Enterprise 등을 구현하는데 있어서 BPR (business process re-engineering), ISP (Information Strategy Planning), Analysis/Design 등은 필수 적이다. 이러한 BPR, ISP, A/D 추진하는데 있어서 각 단계의 산출물은 유연하게 연계되지 못한다. 그 이유는 각 단계가 접근하는 초점이 다르고, 산출물의 성격이 다르며, 무엇보다도 각 단계의 전문가가 다르기 때문에 발생한다. 현재 기업이 각 단계를 추진할 때에는 반복적인 피드백을 통하여 정보를 공유하거나, 각 단계의 정보 연계가 제대로 이루어지지 않는다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 BPR-ISP-A/D의 정보 연계를 유연하게 하기 위하여 PPO (Product-Process-Organization) 객체 진화에 의한 통합 방법론을 제안 하고자 한다. 그 과정은 1) Real world 정보를 PPO 객체로 정의하고, 2) PPO 객체를 기반으로 BPR을 수행하여 TO-BE model 을 만드는 동시에, 3) PPO TO-BE model과 함께 IT Architecture를 정의하며, 4) PPO 객체를 기반으로 Analysis and Design 과정을 통하여 Application system 객체 및 Data 객체를 정의한다. 이때 PPO 객체는 Real-world 객체에서 Application system 객체 및 Data 객체로 진화하게 되고 BPR-ISP-A/D의 seamless 통합이 이루어진다. 여기서, 단계 1) 과 2)는 System Engineering을 통하여 이루어진다. ARIS(Architecture of Integrated Information System, Dr. A-W. Scheer, 1998)개념을 도입하여 실세계를 정해진 규약에 따라 Model로 Mapping하고, 생성된 Model을 바탕으로 BPR을 수행하여 개선된 Model을 산출해 낸다. 단계 3)은, IE (Information Engineering, James Martine, 1990) 의 ISP가 도입되어, 설계업무를 지원하기위한 기본적인 시스템 구조를 구상하게 된다. 이와 함께 IT Model을 구성하게 되는데, 객체지향적 접근 방법으로 Model을 생성하고 UML(Unified Modeling Language)을 Tool로 사용한다. 단계 4)는 Software Engineering 관점으로 접근한다. 이는 최종산물이라고 볼 수 있는 설계업무 지원 시스템을 Design하는 과정으로, 시스템에 사용될 데이터를 Design하는 과정과, 데이터를 기반으로 한 기능을 Design하는 과정으로 나눈다. 이를 통해 생성된 Model에 따라 최종적으로 Coding을 통하여 실제 시스템을 구축하게 된다.

  • Appropriate selection of lifting equipments for a high-rise building construction project is one of the important factors to the project's success. Proper position of a tower crane on a construction site is so important to be determined by an expert or an experienced construction manager who draws working range of a tower crane and moves it over 2D(dimensional) site layout plan. 3D CAD, BIM, and virtual reality are is used for building design and construction, but it is not usual to use them for temporary facility planning or selection of a tower crane. This study proposes a suitable method to use augmented reality to select proper position of tower cranes. An augmented reality prototype is implemented by Vuforia and Unity 3D on a smart device to verify the practicability of the proposed method. The prototype application installed on a smart device shows several tower cranes on different markers in a real architectural drawing to locate the proper tower crane.

  • As project opportunities for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry have grown more complex and larger, the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies for three-dimensional (3D) design and simulation practices has been increasing significantly; the typical applications of the BIM technologies include clash detection and design alternative based on 3D planning, which have been expanded over to the technology of construction management in the AEC industry for virtual design and construction. As for now, commercial BIM software has been operated under a single-user environment, which is why initial costs for its introduction are very high. Cloud computing, one of the most promising next-generation Internet technologies, enables simple Internet devices to use services and resources provided with BIM software. Recently in Korea, studies to link between BIM and cloud computing technologies have been directed toward saving costs to build BIM-related infrastructure, and providing various BIM services for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study addressed development of the usage metering functions of BIM software under cloud computing architecture in order to archive and use BIM data and create an optimal revenue structure so that the BIM services may grow spontaneously, considering a demand for cloud resources. For the reason, we surveyed relevant cases, and then analyzed needs and requirements from AEC industry. Based on the relevant cases, customizing for cloud BIM and design for the development was performed. We also surveyed any related-law to support cloud computing-based BIM service. Finally, we proposed herein how to optimally design and develop the usage metering functions of cloud BIM software.
