The interaction between wireless sensors such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud is a new paradigm of communication virtualization to overcome resource and efficiency restriction. Cloud computing provides unlimited platform, resources, services and also covers almost every area of computing. On the other hand, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has gained attention for their potential supports and attractive solutions such as IoT, environment monitoring, healthcare, military, critical infrastructure monitoring, home and industrial automation, transportation, business, etc. Besides, our virtual groups and social networks are in main role of information sharing. However, this sensor network lacks resource, storage capacity and computational power along with extensibility, fault-tolerance, reliability and openness. These data are not available to community groups or cloud environment for general purpose research or utilization yet. If we reduce the gap between real and virtual world by adding this WSN driven data to cloud environment and virtual communities, then it can gain a remarkable attention from all over, along with giving us the benefit in various sectors. We have proposed a Pub/Sub-based sensor virtualization framework Cloud environment. This integration provides resource, service, and storage with sensor driven data to the community. We have virtualized physical sensors as virtual sensors on cloud computing, while this middleware and virtual sensors are provisioned automatically to end users whenever they required. Our architecture provides service to end users without being concerned about its implementation details. Furthermore, we have proposed an efficient content-based event matching algorithm to analyze subscriptions and to publish proper contents in a cost-effective manner. We have evaluated our algorithm which shows better performance while comparing to that of previously proposed algorithms.

Because of its capability of automatic identification of objects, RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) technologies have extended their application areas to logistics, healthcare, and food management system. Load balancing is a basic technique for improving scalability of systems by moving loads of overloaded middlewares to under loaded ones. Adaptive load balancing has been known to be effective for distributed systems of a large load variance under unpredictable situations. There are needs for applying load balancing to RFID middlewares because they must efficiently treat vast numbers of RFID tags which are collected from multiple RFID readers. Because there can be a large amount of variance in loads of RFID middlewares which are difficult to predict, it is desirable to consider adaptive load balancing approach for RFID middlewares, which can dynamically choose a proper load balancing strategy depending on the current load. This paper proposes an adaptive load balancing approach for RFID middlewares and presents its design and implementation. First we decide a performance model by a experiment with a real RFID middleware. Then, a set of proper load balancing strategies for high/medium/low system loads is determined from a simulation of various load balancing strategies based on the performance model.

Distributed competing system gives a new system architecture to be taken into consideration for solving the problems of interoperability of heterogeneous systems. In the present paper, CORBA based on multi-threaded interoperates with software blocks at physically isolated hardware. We show how archives optimal CORBA system from analysis of required functions, implementations of protocols and benchmarking of system performance in the Open Multi-service Network System Environment. The core features of our CORBA system are restricted Quality of Service based on priority, timeout service and exception status information notify to the related software blocks. And the objectives are design and implementation of high performance multi-threaded middleware and satisfied with extendibility, flexibility and stability of CORBA platform.

For several years, a research about the simulation for shipyard and shipbuilding has been performed. This research is based on the concept of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and DM (Digital Manufacturing). Global leading companies and research center are trying to get a good position of PLM, especially M&S field. Digital shipbuilding is to computerize shipyard facilities and shipbuilding processes, and to simulate expected scenarios of shipbuilding processes using a computer model in order to resolve a potential problem such as a bottleneck processes, and over loaded resources. In this paper, simulation methodology for shipbuilding is described. In addition, a local and global strategy for the use of simulation methodology is suggested. Finally, case studies about an indoor shop and an outdoor shop are described.

ROS is based on a graph architecture where processing takes place in nodes. Nodes communicate together by passing messages through topics based on the publish/subscribe model. On the other hand, OPRoS components know each other and are tightly-coupled via port connections, and different coupling schemes make the interoperation between two platforms difficult. This paper describes an extension of OPRoS framework to support the interoperation with the ROS topic.

The configuration of Distribution Automatic System(BAS) is dual servers and raid 5(redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) clustering dual HDD. The DAS has the distributed object-oriented architecture using middleware software(BASEstar), so the number of client nodes has no limitation. Because the DAS is scalable, it can be configured using various application programs and be upgraded easily. The DAS has competitive to export because there are system development and accumulation of technology that coincide in International Standard, using common 05 and DB. This paper describes the structure of DAS hardware and software separately and proposes to improve program to share real time DB efficiently at each node.

Internet of Things (IoT) networks composed of a large number of sensors and actuators generate a huge volume of data and control commands, which should be enforced by strong data reliability. The end-to-end data reliability of IoT networks is an essential industrial enabler. Blockchain technology can provide strong data reliability and integrity within IoT networks. We designed a lightweight end-to-end blockchain network that applies to common IoT applications. Its enhanced modular architecture and lightweight consensus mechanism guarantee its practical applicability for general IoT applications. In addition, the proposed blockchain network is highly software compatible because it adopts the Hyperledger development environment. Directly embedding the proposed blockchain middleware platform in small computing devices proves its practicability.

최근들어 분산 시뮬레이션을 위해 미국 국방성에서 제안한 HLA(High Level Architecture)를 산업계에 적용하기 위하여 미들웨어 개발이 활발하다. 주요 응용분야는 게임 및 다자간 회의 시스템, 실시간 제어 시스템 등이다. 본 논문에서는 (주)넷커스터마이즈가 HLA Spec. 1.3 표준안에 기반하여 순수 Java 언어를 사용하여 개발한 미들웨어인 Java/RTI를 소개한다. Java/RTI는 Java 언어만을 사용함으로써 운영체제에 제한을 받지 않고 RTI의 이식이 가능하게 하여 이식성을 크게 향상시켰다 또한, HLA 규격이 요구하는 모든 기능을 자체 개발함으로써 향후 RTI의 성능 및 서비스 확장을 위한 기반을 마련하였으며 실시간 제어 및 VOIP 응용 소프트웨어 개발을 통해 개발 편의성 및 성능이 검증되었다. RTI의 실행 환경을 모니터링 할 수 있는 소프트웨어까지 개발함으로써 소프트웨어의 운용 및 관리 효율성을 높였다. 본 논문에서 소개한 Java/RTI는 군사용 분산 시뮬레이션은 물론 게임, 실시간 제어 소프트웨어 등 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있으며 현재 팩키지 소프트웨어로 상품화가 추진중에 있다. 또한, 개발된 Java/RTI를 확장하여 실시간 환경에서 QoS(Quality of Service)를 제공하는 성능 측정자 및 자원 관리자를 개발 중에 있다.

표준 데이터 포맷을 이용하여 인터넷상에 데이터를 전달하기 위해 XML 기술을 활용하여 분산 환경을 어떻게 더욱 발전된 모습으로 지원해나갈 수 있을 것인지를 두고 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 그 중에서도 가장 중심적인 역할을 수행한 수 있는 분야는 정보를 표현하여 인터넷을 활용한 모든 곳에서 통합화/표준화하여 사용자들의 정보공유와 경제활동에 접근 가능하도록 하는 것이다. 분산 객체 기술의 하나인 RPC와 XML을 연동한 XML-RPC는 HTTP를 확장해 XML 메시지를 주고 받을 수 있는 프로토콜로 HTTP를 사용하고 호출요청 및 응답 인코딩에 XML을 사용하는 메커니즘을 통해 클라이언트 서버간의 상호작용을 한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 분산객체기술과 XML과의 연동에 관만 연구를 알아보고, XML-RPC를 이용한 XML문서교환 및 제어용 미들웨어 구조를 제안한다.
