Grid technology enables high performance computation and mass data processing by connecting geographically distributed computing resources to high-speed network. To carry on grid tasks requiring guaranteed quality of service, we need to build converged infrastructure which controls and manages network resources as well as computing resources. In this paper, we defined grid network service interface and information model to support grid network path, resource creation and reservation. In addition to resource creation and reservation messages of the existing GLIF, grid network path and notification messages were defined in the grid network service interface. We also defined related statuses and messages for two-phase resource reservation mechanism. We designed and implemented network resource management system based on the grid network information model and service interface. We experimented in resource reservation, allocation and release of network resources in grid environment with GMPLS control and transport network.

This thesis defines an end-to-end billing process model. The processes in the model can be mapped to the TMN(Telecommunications Management Network) model which is based on an international telecommunications management standard. We have identified two interfaces in this billing process model. Part 1 of this thesis provides a protocol-independent design of the UAI(Usage Accounting interface) between the service provider and the network provider. Part 2 of this thesis provides information modeling of the UMI(Usage Metering Interface) between the network provider and the equipment provider. This interface is applied to the B-ICI(Broadband ISDN Inter-Carrier Interface) environment.

With the increasing need for intelligent environment monitoring applications and the decreasing cost of manufacturing sensor devices, it is likely that a wide variety of sensor networks will be deployed in the near future. In this environment, the way to access heterogeneous sensor networks and the way to integrate various sensor data are very important. This paper proposes the common system for middleware of sensor networks (COSMOS), which provides integrated data processing over multiple heterogeneous sensor networks based on sensor network abstraction called the sensor network common interface. Specifically, this paper introduces the sensor network common interface which defines a standardized communication protocol and message formats used between the COSMOS and sensor networks.

In this paper, we analyzed the packet blocking probability of a finite buffer in a network interface unit. In general, a network interface unit which provides a means of interface between the network and computer has a microprocessor and a protocol processor for the network access protocols. It also has a receive buffer for the arriving packets from the network which is served by the microprocessor with service interruption by the protocol processor. In this paper, we modeled the receive buffer as a discrete time server with service interruption, and obtained the packet blocking probability using the mini-slot approximation.

In this paper,a network interface unit of token-passing bus network and its driving software are implemented based on Mini-MAP. This network interface unit performs the function of MAC layer which is responsible for transmission and reception of frames as well as the management of logical ring. The driving software performs the management of data buffer and the report of errors, if ocoured, to the higher layer. Motorola MC68824 of is used as a TBC(Token Bus Controller) and Intel80186 as a CPU for network interface unit. The operation of network interface unit is verified by self-test which checks the functioning of TBC and CPU. In addition each module of driving software is tested to check the functions regarding transmission and reception of frames.

Optical burst switching (OBS) overcomes the inefficient resource usage of optical circuit switching and minimizes the optical buffering requirement of optical packet switching. General switch management protocol (GSMP) is an open interface between a label switch and a controller, and it provides connection, configuration, performance, event management and synchronization. GSMP open interface in the OBS network allows the implementation of OBS switch to be simple by separating the data forward plane from the control plane. We defined managed objects to support connection, configuration, performance, and fault management for the management of OBS network in the GSMP open interface. We proposed the network management model, in which the above managed objects are distributed in a controller and an OBS switch according to network management functions. We verified the possibility of connection management using distributed network management model in the GSMP open interface of OBS network by implementing GSMP and network management functions with managed objects of OBS.

This article introduces developing trends of an 'Ubiquitous Interface' as an access method for use of various network resources, such as public wireless networks and un-licensed wireless networks in ubiquitous sensor network environments, without troublesome settings or operations by users. 'Ubiquitous Interface' is a relatively wide sense meaning not only physical interface of specified device or between processors, but anything method for access USN. These 'Ubiquitous Interface' able to provide seamless services that adapt autonomously to the user's movements and changes in the state of wireless resources. Recently, strongly recommended current technologies are RFID, NFC, Multi-mode mobile terminal, UMA mobile terminal and Wearable computer as a future ubiquitous interface. These technologies are have to have flexibility and multiple physical communication channels for seamless service hand over and serve easy connection at huge USN to user. Also, they have to must have flexible software structure. Finally, through the 'Ubiquitous Interface', we will be experience of seamless communication and realize a real liberty of communication.

본 논문에서는 CORBA(Common Object Request Architecture)기반의 TINA(Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) 분산체계에서 통신망 하부 장비들이 SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) 혹은 TMN(Telecommunications Management Network) 체계로 혼재되어 관리되는 네트워크의 NE(Network Element)들을 효율적으로 통합 관리할 수 있는 Generic Interface Adaptor(GIA)를 제안하고 이를 설계 및 구현하였다. GIA는 message mapping, protocol conversion 및 DBMS를 이용한 Object Abstract Translation(OAT)을 통해서 각 관리체계에 맞도록 관리정보를 변환시키며, 이를 통해 TINA EML(Element Management Layer) component와 SNMP NE agent 간의 상호연동을 가능하게 한다.
