The desired level for multimedia services in the mobile web environment, the next generation web environment, is expected to be of PC level quality. And great efforts have been made in the development of hadware technology, communication technology, various kinds of services and standardization to support these services, In the mobile web environment, multimedia contents adaptation services should be available through supporting various kinds of devices, network abilities and users' preferences. It means that due to the variety of both desired devices' hardware specifications, called destinations, and desired QoSes, the QoSes in the destinations are not fixed or defined. If a new user wants to stream multimedia contents in a server through a new kind of terminal device, it should be considered whether the existing transcoders are able to adapt the multimedia contents. However, the existing libraries for multimedia adaptation have heavy transcoder figures which include all adaptive functions in one library, The challenge of universal access is too complex to be solved with these all in one solutions. Therefore, in this paper we propose an application independent multimedia adaptation framework which meets the QoS of new and varied mobile devices. This framework is composed of a group of unit transcoders having only one transcoding function respectively, Instead of heavy transcoders. Also, It includes the transcoder manager supporting the dynamic connections of the unit transcoders in order to satisfy end to end QoS.

NGN is a packet-based converged network to support session and non-session based services in QoS-enabled broadband transport technologies. Resource and admission control functions(RACF) of NGN have been considering COPS and SNMP as resource management protocols to collect network topology and resource status information of transport network. This paper defines requirements of resource management in NGN transport network, and proposes protocol independent information model to keep consistency of data models of each resource management protocol. Based on this information model described with UML class diagram, we designed and implemented NGN resource management system on Web Services.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such as Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. Current IEEE 802.11e, however, is not sufficient to support service differentiations and network performance enhancements, under a varying network environment experiencing as varying channel characteristics and high network loads. Recently, there have been much research to complement this deficiency of 802.11e standard. This paper surveys these research efforts.

Since in web service composition, the same service may be offered by different providers with different Quality of Services (QoS) attributes, selection criteria are needed to select which Web Services will be considered for composition. Location of provider can be one of these criteria and intends to decrease the number of remote interactions between providers as well as reducing waiting time of service consumer. Therefore in this paper, we present technique for composing web services according to their location by semantically describing customer's goals and provider's web service capability by means of carefully designed ontology and logical expression.

이기종간 분산 환경에서 상호연동성을 고려한 웹 서비스가 각광받고 있다. 주요 웹 서비스 플레이어들이 선택한 SOAP, UDDI, WSDL과 같은 표준을 이용하여 전체 웹 서비스들 금융, 하이테크, 미디어, 엔터테인먼트 등 전체 웹 서비스들이 개발되고 있다. 대부분의 웹 서비스들이 표준을 확립해 감에 따라, 사용자 요구에 가장 적합한 Qos의 선택은 서비스 간 차별화의 요점이 될 것이다. 기존의 연구에서는 각 서비스에 추가적인 컴포넌트를 합성하여 서비스 사용자와 서비스 제공자끼리의 협상을 하는 방법과 서비스 사용자의 요구의 기준과 비중에 맞추어 랭킹을 계산하여 그 값을 사용자에게 돌려주어 수동적으로 선택할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 하지만, 계속 추가되는 컴포넌트 합성은 서비스 양이 방대해질수록 시스템 복잡도는 증가하고, 그로 인해 서비스 시간지연 및 자원 낭비의 문제점이 있으며, 계산되어 랭크된 서비스들을 사용자가 선택하도록 하였을 경우 최상위에 랭크된 서비스가 사용자에 가장 적합한 지 알 수 없으며, 다양한 서비스 사용자의 요구에 만족하기 어려운 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 QoS 협상 브로커를 제시하여 이러한 문제점들을 최소화하고 서비스 사용자가 요구하는 기능적인 서비스 측면을 유지하면서, 서비스 사용자의 요구조건에 효율적인 비 기능적 측면을 제공하는 서비스 제공자를 자동적으로 발견할 수 있게 한다.

In this paper, we present WWW system over native ATM services. The use of native ATM services through ATM API can provide better performance and functionality than that of IP over ATM, LAN Emulation or Multiprotocol over ATM. Our WWW browser and server provide advanced WWW services based on enhanced performance and guaranteed QoS support by using native ATM service benefits. This paper describes and compares advantages and disadvantages of Native ATM Services and ATM Internet Services, and addresses ATM API standardization and development trend that are made by the ATNI Forum for the support of native ATM services, and then describes the architecture and operation of our WWW browser and server using ATM API. The system architecture is based on HTTP over ATM API capable of supporting guaranteed QoS over its connections. The system defines and uses new HTML attributes within hyperlinking HTML elements for the description of ATM QoS and traffic characteristics that are derived from UNI signaling 3.1 connection characteristics information elements. Our system uses WinSock 2 API as its ATM API.

Supporting QoS (Quality of Service) for the multimedia applications becomes an important issue as the demand of multimedia applications increases. Thus, it is necessary for the application layer to have an efficient congestion control algorithm, which can support the multimedia applications' QoS requirements. In this paper, we propose a new application layer congestion control algorithm, called RRC-OTT (Receiver-based Rate Control with One-way Trip Time). RRC-OTT algorithm differs from the previously proposed algorithms in that the receiver takes the responsibility of the network congestion control. Thus, RRC-OTT algorithm can not only precisely estimate the network congestion using OTT (one-way Trip Time), but reduce the work load from the sender (e.g., the web server). Our simulation study shows that RRC-OTT algorithm can maintain the comparable link utilization to the previously proposed algorithms and keep the packet jitter low, which thus can help enhance the quality of multimedia applications.

Recently the web service area is rapidly growing as the next generation IT paradigm because of increase of concern about SOA(Services-Oriented Architecture) and growth of B2B market. Since a service discovery through UDDI(Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) is limited to a functional requirement, it is not considered an effect on frequency of service using and reliability of mutual relation. That is, a quality as nonfunctional aspect of web service is regarded as important factor for a success between consumer and provider. Therefore, the web service selection method with considering the quality is necessary. This paper suggests the agent-based quality broker architecture and selection process which helps to find a service providing the optimum quality that the consumer needs in a position of service consumer. A theory of agent is accepted widely and suitable for proposed system architecture in the circumstance of distributed and heterogeneous environment like web service. In this paper, we considered the QoS and CoS in the evaluation process to solve the problem of existing researches related to the web service selection and used PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations) as an evaluation method which is most suitable for the web service selection among MCDM approaches. PROMETHEE has advantages that solve the problem that a pair-wise comparison should be performed again when comparative services are added or deleted. This paper suggested a case study with the service composition scenario in order to verify the selection process. In this case study, the decision making problem was described on the basis of evaluated values for qualities from a consumer's point of view and the defined service level.

웹 서비스의 사용이 급격히 증가함에 따라 사용자의 웹 서비스 005(Quality of Services)에 대란 관심도 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 QoS 요소들 중 응답 시간(Response time) 향상에 대한 스케줄링 기법을 제안하여, 서비스의 질을 향상시키고자 한다. 구체적으로는 기존의 그리드 시스템에 사용되고 있는 단일 배치 스케줄링 기법을 기본으로 한 다중 배치 스케줄링을 연구하였으며, 이를 통해 그리드 기반 웹 서비스의 응답 시간 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
