In this paper, we design and implement a distributed web-storage and a group office system based on the distributed web-storage. It is easier to customize the proposed group office according to user's demands than existing web-based applications. Our proposed web-storage is distributed system which consists of multiple storage servers. The web-storage provides storage with considering the user's location so as to provide fast storage service.

Multi-server password authentication schemes enable remote users to obtain service from multiple servers with single password without separately registering to each server. In 2007, Hu-Niu-Yang proposed an improved efficient password authenticated key agreement scheme for multi-server architecture based on Chang-Lee's scheme proposed in 2004. This scheme is claimed to be more efficient and is able to overcome a few existing deficiencies in Chang-Lee's scheme. However, we find false claim of forward secrecy property and some potential threats such as offline dictionary attack, key-compromise attack, and poor reparability in their scheme. In this paper, we will discuss these issues in depth.

디스크배열 또는 RAID 시스템은 저렴한 비용으로 대용량 저장공간을 제공할 수 있으나, VOD 서비스와 같은 대규모 멀티미디어 서비스에 대해서는 아직 충분한 입출력 속도를 지원하지 못하고 있다. 보다 높은 대역폭을 지원하기 위해 다수의 디스크 컨트롤러를 채용한 다중 디스크배열에서 스트라이프를 전체 디스크에 효과적으로 분산시키기 위한 수직 스트라이핑 모델이 이용되고 있다. VOD 서비스 이용자가 고품질의 동영상을 감상하기 위해서는, 응용프로그램이 요청한 마감시간까지 저장장치에 기록되어 있는 데이터를 읽어와야 한다. 본 논문에서는 효과적이 VOD 서비스 지원을 위해, 다중 디스크배열에서 각 디스크 컨트롤러의 지역 요청큐로 분산된 입출력 요청들을 스케쥴링하여 마감시간 초과율(deadline miss rate)을 줄이기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 VOD 서버와 같이 데이터 읽기 작업이 많은 멀티미디어 서비스에 적합하도록 설계되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 알고리즘이 마감시간 초과율을 평균 41.5% 감소시킴을 알 수 있었다.

In general, existed kiosk using touch-screen based kiosk system has been used by only single user, so that multiple users to access this kiosk need to provide a lot of waiting time and maintenance costs. To solve this problem, the framework design based on Bluetooth profile for kiosk servers is presented. The proposed kiosk system can be more efficiently used in theater, train station, bank, government, and public offices by using Bluetooth module and AP in mobile system such as smart phone.

This study proposes a scheme to design control parameters for a data center facility with a vibration controller on its top floor and a secondary isolation device with its own vibration controller designed to protect vibration-sensitive computer equipment. The aim is to reduce the effects of acceleration and drift from an earthquake on computer servers placed on the isolation device that must operate during a seismic event. A linear elastic model is constructed and the evaluation function of the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control is formulated. The relationship between the control parameters and the responses is examined, and based on the observations, a control parameter design scheme is constructed to reduce the responses of both the building and the computer server effectively.

In a batch scheduling policy being different from real video system, the requests are not served immediately due to grouping user's requests upon every scheduling points. Such waiting delays by inefficient managements makes an unfair service to users and increases the possibility of higher reneging rates. This paper proposes an adaptive batch scheduling scheme which reduces the average waiting time of user’s requests and reduces the starvation problem for requesters of less popular movies. The proposed scheme selects dynamically multiple videos in given intervals based on the service patterns which reflect the popularity distribution and resource utilizations. Experimental simulation shows that proposed scheme improves about 20-30 percent of average waiting time and reduces significantly the starving requesters comparing with those of conventional methods such as FCFS and MQL.

In this work, we consider performance modeling of a wireless sensor network with a time division multiple access (TDMA) media access protocol with slot reuse. It is assumed that all the nodes are peers of each other and they have two modes of operation, active and sleep modes. We model the sensor network as a Jackson network with unreliable nodes with on and off states. Active and sleep modes of sensor nodes are modeled with on and off states of unreliable nodes. We determine the joint distribution of the sensor node queue lengths in the network. From this result, we derive the probability distribution of the number of active nodes and blocking probability of node activation. Then, we present the mean packet delay, average sleep period of a node and the network throughput. We present numerical results as well as simulation results to verify the analysis. Finally, we discuss how the derived results may be used in the design of sensor networks.

In this paper, we address the issues related to storage and retrieval of continuous media (CM)data we face in designing multimedia on-demand (MOD) storage servers. To support the two orthogonal factors of MOD server design, i.e., storage and retrieval of CM data, this paper discusses the techniques of disk layout, disk striping and real-time disk scheduling, which are integrated as a combined solution to the high- performance MOD storage subsystem. The proposed clustered striping technique enables either a multiple-disk or a parallel system to guarantee a continuous retrieval of CM data at the bandwidth required to support user playback rate by avoiding the formation of I/O bottlenecks.

In this research we have developed a prototype which manages a product structure and configuration of a product under distributed heterogeneous computing environments. First, the data schema for product structure and configuration which can represent options and effectivity is proposed. Second, a technique to use JAVA and CORBA is suggested for the exchange of product structure among multiple servers in CITIS environments. Functions of the prototype related to option-based product structure are described to help readers' understanding.

InterSpaceTM is an advanced networked virtual reality system that presents shared three-dimensional computer graphics (CG) worlds via the Internet where multiple users can enjoy synchronous communications with voice, video and text. Users can control their avatars as a surrogate interface. In InterSpace users can walk around and interact with other people and interact with contents. In this paper, we describe the function-distributed architecture used in InterSpace. The architecture enables flexible configuration of server functions and load distribution. It also allows users to select media and client PCs to switch servers dynamically.
