최근에는 컴퓨팅 자원이 크게 증가하여, 인터넷을 통해 연결된 수많은 컴퓨팅 자원들을 다수의 사용자가 이용하고 어떻게 서비스 할 것인가에 대한 클라우드 컴퓨팅 또는 그리드 컴퓨팅 기술이 주목받고 있으며 또한 네트워크에서도 물리적 네트워크 위에 가상의 네트워크 링크와 노드을 구성하여 가상의 네트워크를 구성하는 가상 네트워크 환경 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 가상화 기술은 네트워크 보다는 실질적으로 운영체제 분야에서 오랫동안 연구되고 발전되고 있으나 본 논문에서는 네트워크 분야에 적용된 가상화기술을 토대로 모바일 네트워크에 적용된 가상 모바일 네트워크에 대하여 살펴보도록 하겠다.

NFV (Network Function Virtualization) 환경에서는 소프트웨어로 구현된 가상 네트워크 기능 (VNF: Virtualized Network Function)을 범용 서버에 설치하는 것으로 네트워크 기능을 제공한다. 네트워크 관리자는 VNF를 네트워크 토폴로지 상 적절한 위치의 서버에 배치하고 상황에 따라 동적으로 관리함으로써, 다양한 네트워크 상황에 대해 신속하고 유연하게 대응할 수 있다. 하지만 여러 네트워크 조건 (서비스 비용 및 품질) 등을 고려하는 것은 매우 복잡하고 어려운 문제이며, 특히 결정된 배치를 실제 NFV 환경에 적용하는 데는 처리 시간이 소요되기 때문에, 최적의 VNF 배치를 위해서는 필요한 자원량을 예측하여 VNF 배치를 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) 토폴로지에서 서비스 요청을 무작위로 생성하여 ILP (Integer Linear Programming) 모델을 통해 시뮬레이션한 결과를 학습데이터로 사용하는 기계학습 모델을 도출한다. 도출된 예측 모델은 5분 이후의 미래 시점에 대해 ILP 솔루션 결과 대비 90% 이상의 정확도를 보였다.

In the fifth generation (5G) era, the radio internet protocol capacity is expected to reach 20 Gb/s per sector, and ultralarge content traffic will travel across a faster wireless/wireline access network and packet core network. Moreover, the massive and mission-critical Internet of Things is the main differentiator of 5G services. These types of real-time and large-bandwidth-consuming services require a radio latency of less than 1 ms and an end-to-end latency of less than a few milliseconds. By distributing 5G core nodes closer to cell sites, the backhaul traffic volume and latency can be significantly reduced by having mobile devices download content immediately from a closer content server. In this paper, we propose a novel solution based on software-defined network and network function virtualization technologies in order to achieve agile management of 5G core network functionalities with a proof-of-concept implementation targeted for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and describe the results of interoperability testing experiences between two core networks.

Data centers, which implement cloud service, have been faced up with quick growth of energy consumption and low efficiency of energy. 60GHz wireless communication technology, as a new option to data centers, can provide feasible approach to alleviate the problems. Aiming at energy optimization in 60GHz wireless data centers (WDCs), we investigate virtualization technology to assign virtual resources to minimum number of servers, and turn off other servers or adjust them to the state of low power. By comprehensive analysis of wireless data centers, we model virtual network and physical network in WDCs firstly, and propose Virtual Resource Mapping Packing Algorithm (VRMPA) to solve energy management problems. According to VRMPA, we adopt packing algorithm and sort physical resource only once, which improves efficiency of virtual resource allocation. Simulation results show that, under the condition of guaranteeing network load, VPMPA algorithm can achieve better virtual request acceptance rate and higher utilization rate of energy consumption.

Network slicing is a promising paradigm and significant evolution for adjusting the heterogeneous services based on different requirements by placing dynamic virtual network functions (VNF) forwarding graph (VNFFG) and orchestrating service function chaining (SFC) based on criticalities of Quality of Service (QoS) classes. In system architecture, software-defined networks (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), and edge computing are used to provide resourceful data view, configurable virtual resources, and control interfaces for developing the modified deep reinforcement learning agent (MDRL-A). In this paper, task requests, tolerable delays, and required resources are differentiated for input state observations to identify the non-critical/critical classes, since each user equipment can execute different QoS application services. We design intelligent slicing for handing the cross-domain resource with MDRL-A in solving network problems and eliminating resource usage. The agent interacts with controllers and orchestrators to manage the flow rule installation and physical resource allocation in NFV infrastructure (NFVI) with the proposed formulation of completion time and criticality criteria. Simulation is conducted in SDN/NFV environment and capturing the QoS performances between conventional and MDRL-A approaches.

With the rapid growth of intelligent devices and communication technologies, 5G network environment has become more heterogeneous and complex in terms of service management and orchestration. 5G architecture requires supportive technologies to handle the existing challenges for improving the Quality of Service (QoS) and the Quality of Experience (QoE) performances. Among many challenges, traffic steering is one of the key elements which requires critically developing an optimal solution for smart guidance, control, and reliable system. Mobile edge computing (MEC), software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), and deep learning (DL) play essential roles to complementary develop a flexible computation and extensible flow rules management in this potential aspect. In this proposed system, an accurate flow recommendation, a centralized control, and a reliable distributed connectivity based on the inspection of packet condition are provided. With the system deployment, the packet is classified separately and recommended to request from the optimal destination with matched preferences and conditions. To evaluate the proposed scheme outperformance, a network simulator software was used to conduct and capture the end-to-end QoS performance metrics. SDN flow rules installation was experimented to illustrate the post control function corresponding to DL-based output. The intelligent steering for network communication traffic is cooperatively configured in SDN controller and NFV-orchestrator to lead a variety of beneficial factors for improving massive real-time Internet of Things (IoT) performance.

높은 가용성 확장성, 시스템 성능의 요구를 만족시키기 위해 SAN(Storage Area Network)이 등장했다. SAN을 보다 효과적으로 활용할 수 있도록, 대부분의 SAN 운영체제들은 SAN에 부착된 물리적 저장장치들을 가상적으로 하나의 커다란 볼륨으로 보이게 하는 저장장치 가상화 개념을 지원한다. 저장장치 가상화의 핵심적인 역할을 하는 것이 바로 논리볼륨 관리자이다. 논리볼륨 관리자는 논리 주소를 물리 주소로 매핑시킴으로서 저장장치 가상화를 실현한다. 이 논문에서는 논리볼륨 관리자를 위한 효율적이고 유연한 매핑 기법을 설계하고 구현한다. 이 논문의 매핑 기법은 특정 시점의 볼륨이미지를 유지할 수 있는 스냅샷과 시스템을 정지시키지 않고 SAN에 디스크를 추가 또는 삭제할 수 있는 온라인 재구성 기능을 지원한다.

Cloud computing has recently become a significant technology trend in the IT field. Among the related technologies, desktop virtualization has been applied to various commercial applications since it provides many advantages, such as lower maintenance and operation costs and higher utilization. However, the existing solutions offer a very limited performance for 3D graphics applications. Therefore, we propose a novel method in which rendering commands are not executed at the host server but rather are delivered to the client through the network and are executed by the client's graphics device. This method prominently reduces server overhead and makes it possible to provide a stable service at low cost. The results of various experiments prove that the proposed method outperforms all existing solutions.

In a rapidly changing business environment, the improvement of managerial techniques through IT utilization brings about remarkable increases in profitability and redesign of work process for better performances. IT innovation by electronic instruments such as ICT e-business provides accelerates forming inter-organizational information network and helps them benchmark the best practices of advanced organizations. A new shift of paradigm by e-business across all enterprises has turned the traditional aspects of inter-organizational competition and relationship into a form of collaboration. Collaboration enables business activities in parallel position among companies and facilitates cooperation between partner enterprises. Lately, the concept of 'Synchronization' is emerging beyond dimension of cooperation between networks, and the most concepts related to it are converging into 'Collaboration Networks'. This research observes a virtual organization as a form of collaborative networks, and measures the degree of virtualization of Korean collaborative organizations.
