Recently, as the research of effective resource management for supporting of various next generation internet service, the admission control mechanisms using the dynamic provisioning methods in differentiated service networks are studied. However, even though admission control mechanism is applied to the network, there exits the unfairness of call blocking probability among the different bandwidth requested services. In this paper, we propose the new admission control policy heuristic algorithm that provides fairness of call blocking probability between the large bandwidth requested service and the small bandwidth requested service. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides not only blocking probability fairness but also high bandwidth utilization.

In this paper, we define a Hose-NSIS-QoSM, which reserves and manages resources according to the hose based resource provisioning mechanisms for supporting the VPN QoS(Quality of Service) using the NSIS(Next Step in Signaling) signaling protocol. Specifically, we specify the NSIS message objects, the structures of QoS NSLP(NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol)/NTLP(NSIS Transport Layer Protocol)/RMF(Resource Management Function) state tables and the processing of the signaling messages in NSIS nodes. Also, we compare the Hose-NSIS-QoSM with the Hose-RSVP-TE-QoSM that supports the hose based VPN QoS in the MPLS networks using the extended RSVP-TE mechanism.

In this paper considered is the provisioning quantity determination problem of consumable concurrent spare parts (CSP) of a new equipment system to minimize the procurement cost under the operational availability constraint. When a part fails, repair of the failed part is impossible and the part is replaced and cannibalization is allowed. The failure of a part is assumed to follow a Poisson process and the operational availability in CSP is defined. The solution procedure consists of two parts. Firstly, a heuristic algorithm is developed under the assumption that the failure rate is constant during the CSP period. Secondly, proposed is a simulation search procedure which improves the heuristic solution to the near optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time. An illustrative example is shown to explain the solution procedure.

Ecological restoration is regarded as a major strategy for preventing biodiversity loss and thereby enhancing ecosystem service. This study was performed to evaluate ecosystem service value that the restored ecosystem provides. Ecosystem service was evaluated for provisioning and regulating services. The former service was evaluated by comparing similarities in a viewpoint of floristic composition to the reference site between the restored and the unrestored sites. Species composition of the restored site was found to be more similar to the reference site than that of the unrestored site and thereby restoration practice contributed for enhancing the provisioning service. Regulating service was evaluated based on microclimate control, soil amelioration, and improvement of water holding capacity. The value of ecosystem services in terms of microclimate control, soil amelioration, and improvement of water holding capacity was higher in the restored site than in the unrestored site. In consequence, ecological restoration of coal mine spoils contributed for enhancing the ecosystem service value of the corresponding site and thereby is rewarding the cost invested for restoration.

Multimedia computing has attracted considerable attention with the rapid growth in the development and application of multimedia technology. Current studies have attempted to support the increasing resource consumption and computational overhead caused by multimedia computing. In this paper, we propose $MediaCloud$, a new multimedia computing paradigm that integrates the concept of cloud computing in handling multimedia applications and services effectively and efficiently. $MediaCloud$ faces the following key challenges: heterogeneity, scalability, and multimedia Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. To address the challenges above, first, a layered architecture of $MediaCloud$, which can provide scalable multimedia services, is presented. Then, $MediaCloud$ technologies by which users can access multimedia services from different terminals anytime and anywhere with QoS provisioning are introduced. Finally, $MediaCloud$ implementation and applications are presented, and media retrieval and delivery are adopted as case studies to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed $MediaCloud$ design.

UMTS/GPRS has its own QoS architecture, but additionally needs to support IP-QoS to provide Internet services. This paper describes an IP-QoS provisioning mechanism in the MPLS-based UMTS/GPRS network. We propose a QoS framework that includes the functional architecture of the MPLS-based GPRS networks and the efficient scheduling mechanism based on Diffserv model. The proposed scheduling mechanims is especially focused on the QoS support for real-time services. It also includes a new buffer management scheme that combines the priority queuing and weighted round robin method. The ns-2 simulator has been used to verify the validity of the proposed scheduling method.

Cloud service is one of major challenges in IT industries. In cloud environment, service providers predict dynamic user demands and provision resources to guarantee the QoS to cloud users. The conventional prediction models guarantee the QoS to cloud user, but don't guarantee profit of service providers. In this paper, we propose a new resource allocation mechanism using Q-learning algorithm to provide the QoS to cloud user and guarantee profit of service providers. To evaluate the performance of our mechanism, we compare the total expense and the VM provisioning delay with the conventional techniques with real data.

In this paper, we present a VoIP service provisioning architecture based on MEGACO/H.248 which is one of the key protocols for VoIP services. MEGACO/H.248 is a media gateway control protocol standardized by both ITU-T and IETF, and many ITSPs, carriers, and vendors currently have a lot of interest in the protocol. MEGACO/H.248 is used by a softswitch a key component of the next generation VoIP network, in order to control various media gateways and provide seamless interworking between PSTN and Yon networks.

Large-scale applications, that needs large-capacity R&D resources and realtime data transmission, have demanded more stable and high-performance network environment than current Internet environments. Recently, global R&D networks have focuses on utilizing Lambda networking technologies and resource reservation systems to be satisfied with various applications' requirements. In this paper, we modify the existing DRS (Dynamic Right-Sizing) model to reflect various advantages in terms of the stability and high-capacity of Lambda network. In addition, we suggest the design methodology of high-performance Lambda network, which can integrate NRPS (Network Resource Provisioning System) into our modified DRS model.

최근 클라우드 컴퓨팅에 관련된 기술이 각광을 받으면서, 기존에 인터넷을 통해 제공되던 다양한 서비스들이 클라우드 컴퓨팅 플랫폼 환경으로 이동하고 있다. 이를 통해 사용자들에게는 좀 더 편리하고 유연한 서비스를 제공하고 서비스 제공자들에게는 기존 관리 비용의 절감을 할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 현재 폭발적인 수요의 증가로 인해, 기존의 자원 활용도의 극대화를 목적으로 고안된 자원 분배 기법들에 대한 여러 한계점이 나타나게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고자 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 Qos를 기반으로 사용자나 서비스 제공자의 비용적인 측면을 고려한 자원분배를 통해 서비스를 제공시 사용자 요구를 만족시키고 동시에 서비스 공급자에게는 비용 효율적인 프로비저닝(Provisioning)기법을 제안하고자 한다. 실험 결과 기존의 자원 활용도에 중점을 둔 기법보다 사용자 요청에 대한 응답 속도가 8.35% 향상되었으며, 컴퓨터 자원 유지 관련 비용면에서도 기존 대비 11.31% 절감 효과를 가져오는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
