According to the development of ubiquitous technologies, sensor networks is used in various area. In particular, medical field is one of the significant application areas using sensor networks, and recently it has come to be more important according to standardization of the body sensor networks technology. There are special characteristics of their own for medical sensor networks, which are different from the one of sensor networks for general application or environment. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical medical sensor networks structure considering own properties of medical applications, and also introduce transmission mechanism based on hierarchical structure. Our mechanism uses the priority and threshold value for medical sensor nodes considering patient's needs and health condition. Through this way Cluster head can transmit emergency data to the Base station rapidly. We also present the new key establishment mechanism based on key management mechanism which is proposed by L. Eschenauer and V. Gligor for our proposed structure and transmission mechanism. We use key provisioning for emergency nodes that have high priority based on patients' health condition. This mechanism guarantees the emergency nodes to establish the key and transmit the urgent message to the new cluster head more rapidly through preparing key establishment with key provisioning. We analyze the efficiency of our mechanism through comparing the amount of traffic and energy consumption with analysis and simulation with QualNet simulator. We also implemented our key management mechanism on TmoteSKY sensor board using TinyOS 2.0 and through this experiments we proved that the new mechanism could be actually utilized in network design.

Internet/Intranet has been continuously enhanced by new emerging IP technologies such as differentiate service(DiffServ), IPSec(IP Security) and MPLS(Multi-protocol Label Switching) traffic engineering. According to the increased demands of various real-time multimedia services, ISP(Internet Service Provider) should provide enhanced end-to-end QoS(quality of service) and security features. Therefore, Internet and Intranet need the management functionality of sophisticated traffic engineering functions. In this paper, we design and implement the performance management functionality for the guaranteed end-to-end QoS provisioning on MPLS-based VPLS(Virtual Private LAN Service). We propose VPLS OAM(Operation, Administration and Maintenance) for efficient performance management. We focus on a scheme of QoS management and measurement of QoS parameters(such as delay, jitter, loss, etc.) using VPLS OAM functions. The proposed performance management system also supports performance tuning to enhance the provided QoS by re-adjusting the bandwidth of LSPs for VPLS. We present the experimental results of performance monitoring and analysis using a network simulator.

차세대 고속 무선망에서는 신뢰성이 높고 광전송로를 근간으로 하는 유선망의 멀티미디어 응용지원의 확장으로 유무선 종합 정보 통신망의 구현을 목표로 하고 있다. 현재 기존의 유선망에서는 멀티미디어 응용 지원을 위해 QoS Provisioning에 관한 많은 연구가 되어 있으나 무선망에서의 이동성과 무선 전파의 열악한 전송으로 인해 새로운 QoS Provisioning 방법에 관한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 지연에 민감한 실시간 트래픽의 QoS보장을 위하여 이동 터미널의 속도에 따라 이웃 셀의 대역폭을 예약함로써 핸드오프를 대비하고, 효육적인 무선 자원의 사용을 위해 적응적으로 예약된 대역폭의 양을 조정하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 트래픽 종류와 호의 종류, 터미널의 속도에 따라 다른 우선 순위를 부여하여 우선순위에 기반한 호 수락 제어 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 기존에 제안된 방법과 성능 비교한다.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 사용자가 원하는 서비스를 다양한 상황에 맞게 서비스를 검색하고 조합하여 적합한 서비스를 제공하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 그러나 기존 연구는 사용자 정보를 이용하여 기본 서비스들로부터 새로운 조합 서비스를 찾아내는 것이 미흡하다. 또한 단순한 기본 서비스들의 나열에 불가하고, 사용 이력에 대한 구체적 방안을 고려하지 않는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 상황 정보 및 서비스 사용 이력을 고려한 데이터 마이닝 기반 서비스 조합 기법을 제안한다. 세부적 연구내용은 최적의 서비스를 동적으로 생성하여 제공하는 COSEP(Context-based Service Provisioning) 시스템 프레임워크에서 데이터 마이닝 기능을 겸비한 온톨로지를 이용한 서비스 조합 기법을 제안한다. 결과적으로 본 연구는 사용자의 시간과 위치와 같은 상황 정보에 능동적으로 반응하여 서비스를 발견하고, 데이터 마이닝 기법을 가진 온토롤지를 이용하여 서비스를 조합함으로써 최적의 서비스를 생성하여 사용자에게 제공하는 것이 기대된다.

Cloud computing integrates computing resources such as servers, storage, and networks with virtualization technology to provide suitable services according to user needs. Due to the structural characteristics of sharing physical resources based on virtualization technology, threats to availability can occur, so it is essential to respond to availability threats in cloud computing. Existing over-provisioning method is not suitable because it can generate idle resources and cause under-provisioning to degrade or disconnect service. System resources must be allocated in real-time according to the system load to guarantee the cloud system's availability. Through appropriate management measures, it is necessary to reduce the system load and increase the performance of the system. This paper analyzes the work response time according to the allocation or migration of virtual machines and discusses an efficient resource management method considering the system load.

Modern web services have been broadly deployed on the Internet. Most of these services use multi-tier architecture for flexible scaling and software reusability. However, managing the performance of multi-tier web services under dynamic and unpredictable workload, and different resource demands in each tier is a critical problem for a service provider. When offering quality of service assurance with least resource usage costs, web service providers should adopt self-adaptive resource provisioning in each tier. Recently, a number of rule- and model-based approaches have been designed for dynamic resource management in virtualized data centers. This survey investigates the challenges of resource provisioning and provides a competing assessment on the existing approaches. After the evaluation of their benefits and drawbacks, the new research direction to improve the efficiency of resource management and recommendations are introduced.

A recent major development in computer technology is the advent of wearable computer systems. Wearable computer systems employ a wireless universal serial bus (WUSB), which refers to a combination of USB with the WiMedia wireless technical specifications. In this study, we focus on an integrated system of WUSB over wireless body area networks (WBANs) for wireless wearable computer systems. However, current WBAN MACs do not have well-defined quality of service (QoS) mapping and resource allocation mechanisms to support multimedia streams with the requested QoS parameters. To solve this problem, we propose a novel QoS-aware time slot allocation method. The proposed method provides fair and adaptive QoS provisioning to isochronous streams according to current traffic loads and their requested QoS parameters by executing a QoS satisfaction algorithm at the WUSB/WBAN host. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the efficiency of time slot utilization while maximizing QoS provisioning.

This paper proposes an optimal dynamic resource allocation method in IoT (Internet of Things) parking guidance system using Q-learning resource allocation model. In the proposed method, a resource allocation using a forecasting model based on Q-learning is employed for optimal utilization of parking guidance system. To demonstrate efficiency and availability of the proposed method, it is verified by computer simulation and practical testbed. Through simulation results, this paper proves that the proposed method can enhance total throughput, decrease penalty fee issued by SLA (Service Level Agreement) and reduce response time with the dynamic number of users.
