  • Group communication is becoming increasingly popular in Internet applications such as videoconferences, online chatting programs, games, and gambling. For secure communications, the integrity of messages, member authentication, and confidentiality must be provided among group members. To maintain message integrity, all group members use the Group Key (GK) for encrypting and decrypting messages while providing enough security to protect against passive attacks. Tree-based Group Diffie-Hellman (TGDH) is an efficient group key agreement protocol to generate the GK. TGDH assumes all members have an equal computing power. One of the characteristics of distributed computing and grid environments is heterogeneity; the member can be at a workstation, a laptop or even a mobile computer. Member reordering in the TDGH protocol could potentially lead to an improved protocol; such reordering should capture the heterogeneity of the network as well as latency. This research investigates dynamic reordering mechanisms to consider not only the overhead involved but also the scalability of the proposed protocol.

  • Enterprises that develop online games have to deploy supporting infrastructures, including hardware and bandwidth resources, in order to provide a good service to users. First Person Shooter games generate high rates of small UDP packets from the client to the server, so the overhead is significant. This work analyzes a method that saves bandwidth, by the addition of a local agent which queues packets, compresses headers and uses a tunnel to send a number of packets within a multiplexed packet. The behavior of the system has been studied, showing that significant bandwidth savings can be achieved. For certain titles, up to 38% of the bandwidth can be saved for IPv4. This percentage increases to 54% for IPv6, as this protocol has a bigger overhead. The cost of these bandwidth savings is the addition of a new delay, which has an upper bound that can be modified. So there is a tradeoff: the greater the added delays, the greater the bandwidth savings. Significant reductions in the amounts of packets per second generated can also be obtained. Tests have been deployed in an emulated scenario matching an access network, showing that if the number of players is big enough, the added delays can be acceptable in terms of user experience.

  • Binomial group testing or composite sampling is often used to estimate the proportion, p, of positive(infects, defectives) in a population when that proportion is known to be small; the potential benefits of group testing over one-at-a-time testing are well documented. The literature has focused on maximum likelihood estimation. We provide two Bayes estimators and compare them with the MLE. The first of our Bayes estimators uses an uninformative Uniform (0, 1) prior on p; the properties of this estimator are poor. Our second Bayes estimator uses a much more informative prior that recognizes and takes into account key aspects of the group testing context. This estimator compares very favorably with the MSE, having substantially lower mean squared errors in all of the wide range of cases we considered. The priors uses a Beta distribution, Beta ($\alpha$, $\beta$), and some advice is provided for choosing the parameter a and $\beta$ for that distribution.

  • This work presents an analysis of the buffer features of an access router, especially the size, the impact on delay and the packet loss rate. In particular, we study how these features can affect the Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia applications when generating traffic bursts in local networks. First, we show how in a typical SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) network in which several multimedia flows (VoIP, videoconferencing and video surveillance) share access, the upgrade of the bandwidth of the internal network may cause the appearance of a significant amount of packet loss caused by buffer overflow. Secondly, the study shows that the bursty nature of the traffic in some applications traffic (video surveillance) may impair their QoS and that of other services (VoIP and videoconferencing), especially when a certain number of bursts overlap. Various tests have been developed with the aim of characterizing the problems that may appear when network capacity is increased in these scenarios. In some cases, especially when applications generating bursty traffic are present, increasing the network speed may lead to a deterioration in the quality. It has been found that the cause of this quality degradation is buffer overflow, which depends on the bandwidth relationship between the access and the internal networks. Besides, it has been necessary to describe the packet loss distribution by means of a histogram since, although most of the communications present good QoS results, a few of them have worse outcomes. Finally, in order to complete the study we present the MOS results for VoIP calculated from the delay and packet loss rate.

  • The outcomes of counts commonly occur in the area of disease mapping for mortality rates or disease rates. A Poisson distribution is usually assumed as a model of disease rates in conjunction with a gamma prior. The small area typically refers to a small geographical area or demographic group for which very little information is available from the sample surveys. Under this situation the model-based estimation is very popular, in which the auxiliary variables from various administrative sources are used. The empirical Bayes estimator under Poissongamma model has been considered with its accuracy measures. An accuracy measure using a bootstrap samples adjust the underestimation incurred by the posterior variance as an estimator of true mean squared error. We explain the suggested method through a practical dataset of hitters in baseball games. We also perform a Monte Carlo study to compare the accuracy measures of mean squared error.

  • 본 논문은 블록 정합에 크게 기여하는 일부 서브블록들만 사용하는 서브블록 정합 알고리즘을 개선하기 위한 블록 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 하나의 서브블록 그룹을 사용하는 기존 알고리즘과 달리 제안된 알고리즘은 두개의 서브블록 그룹을 사용하고 있다. 소 그룹을 이용한 정합은 적은 계산량으로 유사 블록 가능성이 큰 후보 블록들을 선택하고, 선택된 블록에서 대 그룹을 이용해 추가적인 정합은 잘못된 정합을 줄인다. 모의 실험 결과들은 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 같은 계산량에서 항상 높은 화질을 갖는 것을 보이고 있고, 적은 서브블록들을 이용한 정합에서 매우 뛰어난 성능을 갖는 것을 보여주고 있다.

  • 이미지 공간에서 무작위로 회전된 객체에 대한 분류 성능이 우수한 기법으로는 군 등변 CNN과 steerable 필터를 이용한 CNN 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들의 수학적 구조를 설명하고 구현 방법을 소개한다. 기존의 CNN을 포함한 세 개의 모델에 대하여 동일한 필터 수를 갖도록 구현한 다음, 무작위로 회전된 MNIST를 이용하여 실험하고 이들의 성능을 비교분석한다. 실험 결과에 의하면 steerable CNN은 CNN보다 6.5% 이상의 인식률 향상을 보여준다. 특히, steerable CNN은 학습할 파라미터의 수가 상대적으로 적어서 훈련 데이터셋의 크기를 줄여도 성능 열화가 비교적 크지 않음을 실험 결과로 확인한다.

  • 중등교육과정에서 수학적 내용사이의 연결과 수학과 다른 학문 사이의 연결의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미술과 수학이 모두 시 공간적 능력의 활용을 포함하는 학문이라는데 주목하여 그래프와 부품식 영역의 지도에서 활용 가능한 소집단 그림그리기 활동을 실시하였다. 일반계 고등학교 1학년 학생을 대상으로 실시한 소집단 그림그리기 활동과정에서 나타나는 학생들의 수학에 대한 흥미변화를 살펴보고자 하였으며, 학생의 전략적 사고의 촉진가능성을 살펴보고 그 구체적인 특정을 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 연구 결과, 그래프를 활용한 소집단 그림그리기 활동은 학생들의 수학에 대한 흥미변화에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤을 뿐만 아니라 활동과정에서 다양한 전략적 사고가 나타남으로써 이러한 활동이 고등사고활동인 전략적 사고를 촉진시키는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • 수학과 협동학습에서 학생들의 의사소통을 포함한 유기적인 상호과정은 매우 중요하며, 소집단의 구성 방법은 학습 결과에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 수학과 협동학습의 효과를 높이기 위해서는 학습자의 다양한 특성에 따라 소집단이 구성되어야 하며 이때에는 인지적 요인뿐만 아니라 정의적 요인도 신중히 고려되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정의적 요인 중, 학생이 어떻게 학습하고 무엇을 학습하는지의 개인차를 나타내주는 성격유형을 협동학습을 위한 소집단 구성의 중요한 기준으로 보고 5학년을 대상으로 MMTIC 검사를 통해 성격유형별 동질집단과 이질집단을 구성하여 소집단 협동학습을 실시하였다. 그 결과 성격유형별 동질집단과 이질집단 간 수학적 태도는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 수학 성취도에 있어서는 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉 수학과 소집단 협동학습에서 성격유형별 동질집단 구성이 수학 성취도 향상에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • This paper describes the design and construction of a micro robotic system addressing such important aspects as versatility and low cost for rapid development and test of new control algorithm. The design and structure of micro robots are presented in detail. The supervision oriented concept is designed for controlling a group of micro robots. In this concept, the vision system recognizes the environment and the host computer decides the micro robot action based on the information from the vision system. In addition, the micro robots can be implemented cheaply and small in size because the structure of supervision oriented system is simplest. The experimental results and the performance of the proposed micro robotic system are discussed.
