Modern applications such as augmented reality, connected vehicles, video streaming and gaming have stringent requirements on latency, bandwidth and computation resources. The explosion in data generation by mobile devices has further exacerbated the situation. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a recent addition to the edge computing paradigm that amalgamates the cloud computing capabilities with cellular communications. The concept of MEC is to relocate the cloud capabilities to the edge of the network for yielding ultra-low latency, high computation, high bandwidth, low burden on the core network, enhanced quality of experience (QoE), and efficient resource utilization. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview on different traits of MEC including its use cases, architecture, computation offloading, security, economic aspects, research challenges, and potential future directions.

Along with the diversification of digital content services using wired/wireless networks, the market for the construction of base systems is growing rapidly. Cloud computing services are recognized for a reasonable cost of service and superior system operations. Cloud computing is convenient as far as system construction and maintenance are concerned; however, owing to the security risks associated with the system construction of actual cloud computing service, the ICT(Information and Communications Technologies) market is lacking regardless of its many advantages. In this paper, we conducted an experiment on a cloud computing security enhancement model to strengthen the security aspect of cloud computing and provide convenient services to the users. The objective of this study is to provide secure services for system operation and management while providing convenient services to the users. For secure and convenient cloud computing, a single sign-on (SSO) technique and a system access control technique are proposed. For user authentication using SSO, a security level is established for each user to facilitate the access to the system, thereby designing the system in such a manner that the rights to access resources of the accessed system are not abused. Furthermore, using a user authentication ticket, various systems can be accessed without a reauthorization process. Applying the security technique to protect the entire process of requesting, issuing, and using a ticket against external security threats, the proposed technique facilitates secure cloud computing service.

Edge computing 환경에서는 노드끼리 직접 또는 간접적으로 전송되는 많은 수의 데이터가 Computing 노드에 의해 수집된다. Computing 노드에 실시간 적으로 전송되어지는 데이터의 저장 및 처리를 위해 기계학습(Machine learning) 기법이 사용된다. 기존의 기계학습 모델의 학습방법의 경우 Edge computing 노드의 지능화에 다소 맞지 않는 방법이며 노드들 간의 협업 시스템을 기계학습 모델에 구축하는 것 또한 중요개선사항 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Edge computing 환경에서 적용 가능한 기계학습 모델을 조사하였다. 본 조사를 통하여 향후 edge computing 환경에서의 제약사항에 대해 더 구체적이며 다양한 연구방향을 제시할 수 있으며 효율적인 모델 적용을 목표로 한다.

자가 치유란 시스템에서 발생될 수 있는 에러나 오류를 미리 예상하거나 감지하고 시스템 스스로 치유함으로써 시스템의 오동작을 최소화하는 것을 의미한다. 자가 치유 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 정확한 테스트 기법이 필요하다. 하지만 기존의 테스트 기법은 성공 또는 실패만으로 나타내기 때문에 정량적인 평가가 불가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자가 치유 시스템이 달성해야 할 목표를 추출하고 관계에 따라 트리로 작성하여 이를 기반으로 시스템의 자가 치유 기법의 성공률을 정량적 측정하는 기법을 제안한다. 본 기법을 통해 자가 치유 시스템의 치유 결과를 정량적으로 평가 가능하고, 치유 전략에 대한 문제점이 분석 가능하므로 자가 치유 시스템의 신뢰성 향상이 가능하다.

To cope with the risks of climate change and promote the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, this paper first comprehensively considers the policy background, technical trends and carbon reduction paths of energy conservation and emission reduction in data center server industry. Second, we propose a computing power carbon efficiency of data center server, and constructs the carbon emission per performance of server (CEPS) model. According to the model, this paper selects the mainstream data center servers for testing. The result shows that with the improvement of server performance, the total carbon emissions are rising. However, the speed of performance improvement is faster than that of carbon emission, hence the relative carbon emission per unit computing power shows a continuous decreasing trend. Moreover, there are some differences between different products, and it is calculated that the carbon emission per unit performance is 20-60KG when the service life of the server is five years.
