In this paper, we propose an interpreter, which recognizes the VoiceXML markups, verifies the validation of the document, and interprets the VoiceXML documents using DI parser and the generated AST by the parser. The VoiceXML interpreter consists of DI parser and executor, and the DI parser uses recursive descent parsing technology, and the executor uses FIA (Form Interpretation Algorithm) proposed by VXML forum. This system uses the Java language in order to develop the runtime environment for VoiceXML efficiently, thus this system has portability.

Traditional kernel-level communication systems for clusters are dependent upon computing platforms. Futhermore, they are not easy to use and do not provide various functions for clusters. This paper presents an architecture and various implementation issues of a kernel-level communication system, KCCM(Kernel level Cluster Communication Module), for linux cluster. The KCCM provides asynchronous communication services as well as standard synchronous communication services using send and receive. The KCCM also automatically detects and recovers connection failures at runtime. This allows programmers to use KCCM when they build mission critical applications over TCP-based connection-oriented communication environments. Having developed using standard socket interfaces, it can be easily ported to various platforms. The experimental results show that the KCCM provides good performance for asynchronous communication patterns.

The ebXML (Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language) Specification Schema is to provide nominal set of specification elements necessary to specify a collaboration between business partners based on XML. As a part of ebXML Specification Schema, BPSS (Business Process Specification Schema) has been provided to support the direct specification of the set of elements required to configure a runtime system in order to execute a set of ebXML business transactions. The BPSS is available in two stand-alone representations, a UML version and an XML version. Due to the limitations of UML notations and XML syntax, however, current ebXML BPSS specification is insufficient to specify formal semantic constraints of modeling elements completely. In this study, we propose a classification schema for the BPSS semantic constraints and describe how to represent those semantic constraints formally using OCL (Object Constraint Language). As a way to verify a Business Process Specification (BPS) with the formal semantic constraint modeling, we suggest a rule-based approach to represent the formal constraints and to use the rule-based constraints specification to verify BPSs in a CLIPS prototype implementation.

A middleware in grid computing environment is required to support seamless on-demand services over diverse resource situations in order to meet various user requirements [1]. Since grid computing applications need situation-aware middleware services in this environment. In this paper, we propose a semantic middleware architecture to support dynamic software component reconfiguration based fault and service ontology to provide fault-tolerance in a grid computing environment. Our middleware includes autonomic management to detect faults, analyze causes of them, and plan semantically meaningful strategies to recover from the failure using pre-defined fault and service ontology trees. We implemented a referenced prototype, Web-service based Application Execution Environment(Wapee), as a proof-of-concept, and showed the efficiency in runtime recovery.

기존의 휴대정보단말 사용자는 단말 소프트웨어의 특성 상 웹을 통해 게시되는 소프트웨어 정보를 계속해서 모니터링하고, 필요한 소프트웨어를 직접 단말에 다운로딩하는 단순 반복 작업을 계속해야 한다. 이는 컴퓨터 비전문가인 일반 사용자가 활용하기에는 어려운 점이 있으며, 뿐만 아니라, 단말기에 익숙한 사용자에게도 새로운 소프트웨어 정보를 계속해서 모니터링하여 획득 및 활용하기에는 많은 오보헤드가 필연적으로 따르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 별도의 추가 작업을 하지 않아도 늘 가장 최신의 소프트웨어가 자신의 단말에 자동으로 업그레이드 되고, 관심 있는 응용 소프트웨어가 릴리즈 될 때 마다 실시간으로 이 정보를 알려주고 사용자가 원한다면, 자동으로 설치 작업까지 해서 곧바로 소프트웨어를 이용할 수 있다록 하는 ‘에이전트 기반의 유대정보단말용 소트프웨어 자동 설치 시스템’에 관하여 기술한다. 본 시스템은 유동적인 웹 환경과 다양한 휴대정보단말을 고려하여 실행시간(Runtime)에도 새로운 기능 추가가 가능하며, 동일한 통신 언어를 통해 개발 플랫폼이 서로 상이한 에이전트간에도 협동 작업이 가능하도록 하는 멀티 에이전트 기반 구조인 OAA(Open Agent Architecture)상에서 구현하였다.

MapReduce is a framework that can process huge datasets in parallel and distributed computing environments. However, a single machine failure during the runtime of MapReduce tasks can increase completion time by 50%. MapReduce handles task failures by restarting the failed task and re-computing all input data from scratch, regardless of how much data had already been processed. To solve this issue, we need the computed key-value pairs to persist in a storage system to avoid re-computing them during the restarting process. In this paper, the task failure resilience (TFR) technique is proposed, which allows the execution of a failed task to continue from the point it was interrupted without having to redo all the work. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis is used as a non-volatile cache for the key-value pairs. We measured the performance of TFR by running different Hadoop benchmarking suites. TFR was implemented using the Hadoop software framework, and the experimental results showed significant performance improvements when compared with the performance of the default Hadoop implementation.

Recently, with the ever-increasing complexity of industrial robot systems, it has been greatly attention to adopt a multi-core based motion controller with high cost-performance ratio. In this paper, we propose a software architecture that aims to utilize the computing power of multi-core processors. The key concept of our architecture is to use shared memory for the interplay between threads running on separate processor cores. And then, we have integrated our proposed architecture with an industrial standard compliant IDE for automatic code generation of motion runtime. For the performance evaluation, we constructed a test-bed consisting of a motion controller with Preempt-RT Linux based dual-core industrial PC and a 3-axis industrial robot platform. The experimental results show that the actuation time difference between axes is 10 ns in average and bounded up to 689 ns under $1000{\mu}s$ control period, which can come up with real-time performance for industrial robot.

We developed many methods for our environment to be efficient : in compiler, the analysis of member variable and method parallelism, and in runtime system, thread/message merging and frame sharing. The programming environment is implemented with MPI message interface, and its performance is analyzed with executing benchmark programs. The results show that the developed methods have influence on performance improvement, and this improvement can be applied to general parallel processing systems.

Biometric technologies using biometric information like fingerprints features are in wide use for the secure user authentication in many services including log-in of computer systems, entrance ID and E-commercial security. Nowadays, biometric technologies are ported into small embedded systems like security tokens or smart cards due to the merit of being secure and automatic in comparison with the previous method in user authentication such as using a PIN. In this paper, the security token developed as an embedded system and tile user authentication system implemented and tested using fingerprints information are described. Communications between the security token and tile host are tested and verified with USB. And, execution time and runtime memory on tile security token board was measured and performance improvement was described. In addition, requisites for the transit from the security token to the match-on-card was mentioned.

Clusters of workstations (COW) are becoming an attractive option for parallel scientific computing, a field formerly reserved to the MPPs, because their cost-performance ratio is usuallybetter than that of comparable MPPS, and their hardware and software can be easily enhanced to thelatest generations. In this paper we present the design and implementation of our runtime library forclusters of workstations, called "Collective I/O Clustering". The library provides a friendlyprogramming model for the I/O of irregular applications on clusters of workstations, being completelyintegrated with the underlying communication and I/O system. In the collective I/O clustering, two I/Oconfigurations are possible. In the first I/O configuration, all processors allocated can act as I/Oservers as well as compute nodes. In the second I/O configuration, only a subset of processors canact as I/O servers, The compression and software caching facilities have been incorporated into thecollective 1/0 clustering to optimize the communication and I/O costs. All the performance results wereobtained on the IBM-SP machine, located at Argonne National Labs.
