A Mobile IPv6 services exposes its vulnerability when a mobile node is roaming the subnets belonging to the different domains. The AAA infrastructure is strongly recommended when the ISPs need to authenticate the mobile user comes from the different domains. In addition to the basic requirements for the AAA service, the authentication latency and AAA message overhead should be minimized for the continuity of the mobile service. This paper considers the roaming service with AAA infrastructure in Mobile IPv6 and proposes an authentication scheme using delegation to authenticate the mobile node with effective manner. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is confirmed using the cost analysis. The result shows at least 50% of performance enhancement when the MN is roaming fast under the control of the delegation.

When two or more entities interact with each other as when they collaborate or communicate, the degree of correctness of the interactions is called interoperability. In software, the necessity of interoperability testing arises when we build a software system in which multiple interacting software entities are employed to perform the function or task of the system. These days as software is more and more being used to solve complex problems and through networking functions of software can be distributed to provide abundant services, the more the interoperability testing becomes important. This paper provides the framework and methodology for interoperability testing by discussing the fundamental concepts and principles that underlie interoperability and interoperability testing and the approaches for practicing interoperability testing.

Ad-hoc networks have the dynamic topology characteristics and most of the applications on ad-hoc networks require the group communication capability. Previously proposed multicast mechanisms on mobile ad-hoc networks build multicast-infrastructures like the tree or mesh for the group communication and these infrastructures nay cause significant overhead especially in a highly dynamic mobile ad-hoc network environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new multicast mechanism supporting multicast services based on only the underlying unicast routing tables, hence any multicast-related infrastructures like trees and meshes are not required to be constructed.

Round robin scheduling discipline, which is a sort of frame-based scheduling, is quite simple and straightforward for handling multiple queues, and by putting a different weight on each queue, a network can offer differentiated services such as different bandwidth, or delay bound. The most typical algorithm among this disciplines is the weighted round robin(WRR). Also, WRR algorithm can be implemented efficiently by dynamic binary scheduling wheel(DBSW) architecture. This paper performs the analysis of the DBSW architecture and compares the results with simulation results. The analysis data and simulation data show that the DBSW structure decreases average buffer length because it is capable of maintaining the allocated weight of each VC correctly.

Although the web is becoming a widely accepted medium, it provides relatively poor performance and low availability. A cluster consists of a collection of interconnected stand-alone computers working together and provides a high-availability solution in application area such as web services or information systems. In this paper, we propose a load balancer architecture under the web server cluster that provides high-availability, high performance and scalability. In addtion, we propose an efficient load balancing algorithm that considers access rate and size of documents. Specially, our algorithm does not require the nodes running under similar configurations and the same operating system. Also, server cache can be utilized more efficiently.

Recently, the research trend and developmental tendency of ubiquitous computing technology are advancing with direction which seamlessly provides the optimum service to users through context-aware, analogy and networking with various sensor nodes. There is overwhelming needs to develop the WSN middleware platforms that have the functions dealing with data, monitoring, merged communication environments, and mutual compatibility with a variety of sensor networks. The purpose of study in WSN middleware platforms is to promptly provide the response for diverse queries from application services. Therefore, the actuator is enable to do action according to evets in for large scale glasshouse.

The demand on various broadcasting services has been greatly increasing in the area of mobile communication. In IEEE802.16e standard and mobile WiMAX, the multicast broadcast service (MBS) uses shared downlink channel for efficiently supporting a number of users. In this paper we propose a dynamic modulation and coding scheme with relay network to enhance the performance of MBS. The proposed approach employs the adaptive modulation and coding scheme for both the base station and relay station to achieve consistently high throughput. The result of computer simulation with NS-2 shows that the throughput and transmission time are significantly improved by using the proposed approach compared to the existing schemes having a fixed modulation level for the RSs.

Congress established the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) to ensure that the public has free access to the Government's information. Operated by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), the mission of the FDLP is to disseminate information products from all three branches of the Government to over 1,250 Depository libraries in the FDLP program nationwide. Depository libraries safeguard the American public's right to information by making Government information in all formats freely available. This paper discusses the role of the GPO and FDLP, the GPO's organizational structure, the Depository library's obligations and responsibilities, services and collections, referrals and networking, and the Depository's future and challenges.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effects of a cultural competence training program for public health nurses (PHNs) using intervention mapping. Methods: An embedded mixed method design was used. Forty-one PHNs (experimental: 21, control: 20) and forty marriage migrant women (MMW) (20, in each group) who were provided nursing care by PHN participated in the study. The experimental group was provided with a four-week cultural competence program consisting of an eight hour offline and online course, e-mail newsletters and social networking services (BAND). Transcultural Self-efficacy (TSE) of the PHNs, client-nurse trust, and satisfaction with nursing care of MMW were measured. Ten PHNs in the experimental group were interviewed after the experimental study. Results: The experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in TSE, client-nurse trust, and satisfaction with nursing care than did the control group. Six themes emerged from qualitative data: (a) Recognizing cultural differences, (b) Being interested in the multicultural policy, (c) Trying to communicate in MMW's own language, (d) Providing medical information using internet and smart phone, (e) Embracing culturally diverse people into society, and (f) Requiring ongoing cultural competence training. Conclusion: Cultural competence training enabled PHNs to provide culturally competent care and contribute to MMW's health outcomes.

We propose a Z-HBT line coding for a LED-ID system. Z-HBT line coding is defined as follows. First, we apply half bit transition to one bit. Second, we decode encoded bits using difference of bit transition level in one bit duration. As a result, we obtain advantages about synchronization problem and noise effect mitigation at the receiver. We set up outdoor the LED-ID simulation environment. At simulation results, we show 2-3dB gain as compared with existing line coding schemes. The results of the paper can be applied to design and implementation of LED-ID systems for indoor wireless multimedia services.
