Smart sensors densely distributed over structures can provide rich information for structural monitoring using their onboard wireless communication and computational capabilities. However, issues such as time synchronization error, data loss, and dealing with large amounts of harvested data have limited the implementation of full-fledged systems. Limited network resources (e.g. battery power, storage space, bandwidth, etc.) make these issues quite challenging. This paper first investigates the effects of time synchronization error and data loss, aiming to clarify requirements on synchronization accuracy and communication reliability in SHM applications. Coordinated computing is then examined as a way to manage large amounts of data.

A new method is proposed for the calculation of the unrelaxed surface energy of spinel ferrite. The surface energy calculation consists of (1) setting the central and computational domains in the semi-infinite real lattice, having a specific surface, and having an infinite real lattice; (2) calculation of the lattice energies produced by the associated portion of each ion in the relative domain; and (3) dividing the difference between the semi-infinite lattice energy and the infinite lattice energy on the exposed surface area in the central domain. The surface energy was found to converge with a slight expansion of the domain in the real lattice. This method is superior to any other so far reported due to its simple concept and reduced computing burden. The unrelaxed surface energies of the (100), (110), and (111) of $ZnFe_2O_4$ and $Fe_3O_4$ were evaluated by using in the semi-infinite real lattices containing only one surface. For the normal spinel $ZnFe_2O_4$, the(100), which consisted of tetrahedral coordinated $Zn^{2+}$ was electrostatically the most stable surface. But, for the inverses pinel $Fe_3O_4$, the(111), which consisted of tetrahedral coordinated $Fe^{3+}$ and octahedral coordinated $Fe^{2+}$ was electrostatically the most stable surface.

This paper proposes a coordinated multi-point communication (CoMP) method with channel selection to improve performance of a macro user equipment (MUE) in a dense small-cell network environment in a building located within coverage of a macro base station (MBS). In the proposed CoMP method, in order to improve the performance of the MUE located in the building, A small-cell base station (SBS) selects a channel with lower interference to the neighboring MUE and transmits appropriate signals to the MUE requiring CoMP. Simulation results show that the proposed CoMP method improves the performance of the MUE by up to 164% and 51%, respectivley, compared to a random channel allocation based traditional SBS network and CoMP method.

메시지 전달을 이용한 분산 계산 환경의 검사점 작성 및 롤백 프로토콜은 조정 검사점 작성(coordinated checkpointing), 약조정 검사점, 작성(loosely coordinated checkpointing), 독립적 검사점 작성(independent checkpointint)등 크게 세 종류로 구분할 수 있다. 이 프로토콜들의 성능은 프로세스간 통신의 빈도, 통신의 패턴 등 응용의 특성 및 수행 환경에 영향을 받는다. 기존에 제안된 프로토콜 각각의 성능에 대해서는 많은 연구가 있었으나 이질적인 종류의 프로토콜들을 동일한 환경에서 구현하여 성능을 비교하는 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 검사점 작성 및 롤백 복구 프로토콜들을 구현하고, 동일한 환경에서 성능을 측정한 결과를 제시한다. 아울러 검사점 작성 및 롤백 복구 프로토콜의 성능에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 분석하여, 이들 프로토콜의 성능 평가 기준과 응용의 특성에 적합한 프로토콜의 선택 기준을 제시한다.

이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 충분하지 못한 자원으로 인해 기존의 분산 알고리즘이 비효과적인 경우가 많다. 특히 이동 호스트의 낮은 가용성으로 인하여 중단 없는 서비스를 보장받기 힘들다. 이들의 원인은 낮은 대역폭과 호스트들의 이동성, 작은 저장공간 및 안전하지 않은 저장장치, 이동 호스트와 기지국간 또는 이동 호스트들 사이의 통신 오버헤드 그리고 충분하지 못한 베터리 수명들을 들 수 있다. 특히 통신 오버헤드(이동 호스트를 찾는 비용, 이동 호스트의 정보를 저장하는 비용 등)로 인해 이동 호스트의 베터리 수명을 단축시키고 통신 비용을 증가시킨다. 이러한 통신 오버헤드를 최소화함으로써 이동 호스트의 베터리 수명을 연장시키고 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰라 네트워크를 기반으로 하는 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 통신비용과 이동 호스트의 작업을 최소화시키는 조정된 체크포인팅(coordinated checkpointing) 알고리즘을 제안하고 수학적으로 비용을 분석하였으며 기존 알고리즘과 성능을 비교하였다.

With the advance of network and software infrastructure, Grid-computing technology on a cluster of heterogeneous computing resources becomes pervasive. Grid computing is required a coordinated use of an assembly of distributed computers, which are linked by WAN. As the number of grid system components increases, the probability of failure in the grid computing is higher than that in a traditional parallel computing. To provide the robustness of grid applications, fault detection is critical and is essential elements in design and implementation. In this paper, a OGSA based process fault-detection services presented to provide high reliability under low network traffic environment.

Grid is a new Information Technology (IT) concept of "super Internet" for high-performance computing: worldwide collections of high-end resources - such as supercomputers, storage, advanced instruments and immerse environments. The Grid is expected to bring together geographically and organizationally dispersed computational resources, such as CPUs, storage systems, communication systems, real-time data sources and instruments, and human collaborators. The term "the Grid" was coined in the mid l990s to denote a proposed distributed computing infrastructure for advanced science and engineering. The term computational Grids refers to infrastructures aimed at allowing users to access and/or aggregate potentially large numbers of powerful and sophisticated resources. More formally, Grids are defined as infrastructure allowing flexible, secure, and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources referred to as virtual Organizations. GRID is an emerging IT as a kind of next generation Internet technology which will fit very well with Agrometeorological services in the future. I believe that it would contribute to the resource sharing in AgroMeteorology by providing super computing power, virtual storage, and efficient data exchanges, especially for developing countries that are suffering from the lack of resources for their agmet services at national level. Thus, the establishment of CAgM-GRID based on existing RAMINSII is proposed as a part of FWIS of WMO.part of FWIS of WMO.

Botnets have become one of the most significant threats to Internet-connected smartphones. A botnet is a combination of infected devices communicating through a command server under the control of botmaster for malicious purposes. Nowadays, the number and variety of botnets attacks have increased drastically, especially on the Android platform. Severe network disruptions through massive coordinated attacks result in large financial and ethical losses. The increase in the number of botnet attacks brings the challenges for detection of harmful software. This study proposes a smart framework for mobile botnet detection using static analysis. This technique combines permissions, activities, broadcast receivers, background services, API and uses the machine-learning algorithm to detect mobile botnets applications. The prototype was implemented and used to validate the performance, accuracy, and scalability of the proposed framework by evaluating 3000 android applications. The obtained results show the proposed framework obtained 98.20% accuracy with a low 0.1140 false-positive rate.

Coordinated multi-point transmission is a candidate technique for next-generation cellular communications systems. We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information, which mitigates inter-cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method that considers both ICI and intra-cell orthogonality. Due to the influence of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method, by an average of 0.55bps/Hz for different numbers of total users per cell.

The paper develops a method of minimizing power transmission losses by optimum control of reactive power flow. In the past, because the optimizing method considers as the first step the minimization of node voltage deviations and as the second step the minimization of transmission losses within the system, the calculating procedure was more complex and difficult to handle. In this paper, a new computing method for real time control on a digital computer is described which aims at a coordinated use of reactive power sources and voltage regulating devices. The power transmission losses are minimized by a gradient method while satisfying the constrained system voltage conditions and sensitivity parameters are the basis of the method.
