Sharing copyrighted files without copyright holder's permission is illegal. But, a number of illegal file sharers using BitTorrent increase. However, it is difficult to find appropriate digital evidences and legal basis to punish them. And, there are no framework for digital investigation of illegal sharing using BitTorrent. Additionally, role of server in BitTorrent had been reduced than server in conventional P2P. So, It is difficult to apply investigation framework for illegal sharing using conventional P2P to investigation process of illegal sharing using BitTorrent. This paper proposes the methodology about punishing illegal sharer using BitTorrent by suggesting the digital investigation framework.

A strength of BitTorrent, which is widely used for file sharing today, is due to its peer selection mechanism which is designed to encourage peers to contribute data. In the peer selection phase in BitTorrent, peers to upload the file in a swarm are selected by determining which peers upload the most to themselves. However, the number of peers to upload (i.e., number of unchoked peers) is fixed to four in its peer selection mechanism of BitTorrent, which yields inefficiency because the situation of the swarm may vary frequently (e.g., number of peers in the swarm, download rates, and upload rates). In this paper, we analyze the swarming system performance when the number of unchoked in BitTorrents is not static, but dynamic. For empirical investigation, we established a testbed in Seoul National University by modifying an open-source BitTorrent client, which is popular. Through our experiments, we show that an adaptive mechanism to adjust the number of unchoked peers considering the situation of the swarm is needed to improve the performance of BitTorrent.

파일 공유를 위해 널리 사용되는 BitTorrent는 대표적인 P2P 프로토콜이다. BitTorrent는 전송을 요구한 클라이언트가 작은 단위로 쪼개진 하나의 파일을 다수의 클라이언트들로부터 받는 방식으로 기존의 일대일 P2P 전송방식에 대비하여 빠른 다운로드 속도를 낼 수 있다. 이러한 다운로드 성능을 발휘하기위해 다수의 조각으로 분리 된 파일 조각을 선택하는 Pieces Selection 기법은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 BitTorrent에서 활용되는 네 가지의 Pieces Selection 기법에 대해 알아보고, 성능 개선을 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다.

BitTorrent는 파일 공유를 위하여 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 P2P (Peer to Peer)프로토콜로서, Mesh-Pull 구조를 채용하여 라이브 스트리밍에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. BitTorrent에서는 Peer Wire Protocol을 사용하여 피어들간에 파일조각들을 교환하게 되는데, 이를 위하여 주기적으로 버퍼맵 정보를 HAVE 메시지를 사용하여 브로드캐스트 하는데, 피어의 수가 증가할수록 이로 인한 시그널링 오버헤드가 크게 증가하는 문제를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하고 라이브 스트리밍의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 HAVE 메시지를 선택적으로 전송하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여, 제안 방식은 기존의 BitTorrent 기반 Mesh-Pull 구조를 채용하는 라이브 스트리밍 방식과 비교하여 HAVE 메시지의 브로드캐스트로 인한 시그널링 오버헤드를 비약적으로 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

BitTorrent is an innovative protocol related to file-sharing and file-transferring, which allows users to receive pieces of files from multiple sharer on the Internet to make the pieces into complete files. In reality, however, free distribution of illegal or copyright related video data is counted for crime. Difficulty of regulation on the copyright of data on BitTorrent is caused by the fact that data is transferred with the pieces of files instead of the complete file formats. Therefore, the classification process of file formats of the digital contents should take precedence in order to restore digital contents from the pieces of files received from BitTorrent, and to check the violation of copyright. This study has suggested SVM classifier for the classification of digital files, which has the feature vector of histogram differential on the pieces of files. The suggested classifier has evaluated the performance with the division factor by applying the classifier to three different formats of video files.

A closely associated set of characteristics was analyzed using both classical and truss dimensions to discriminate the morphometric traits of three species of torrent catfish (Amblycipitidae) in Korea. After arcsine square root transformation, 18 measurements relative to the standard length and three measurements relative to the head length of each species of torrent catfish were compared statistically. Classical and truss dimensions of each of four morphometric traits showed higher values in the bullhead torrent catfish, Liobagrus obesus, than the Korean and south torrent catfish (L. andersoni and L. mediadiposalisa, respectively; P<0.05). Truss dimensions of three morphometric traits were higher in the bullhead and Korean torrent catfish than in the south torrent catfish (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in six morphometric traits among these Amblycipitidae. The dimensions used in this study may be useful as taxonomic indicators to discriminate species of Liobagrus in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of a torrent control structure using customized tetrapods on the forest water quality, fishes, snials and streamwater ecology conservation and management. The study was conducted in the Honggye valley located in Sanchung-gun, Gyungsangnam-do, and stream water quality and streamwater ecology was compared before and during 2 years after construction of torrent control structure. After construction of the torrent control structure using customized tetrapods, pH of stream water didn't get out of the range of River water quality standard class I. After 2 years construction of the torrent control structure using customized tetrapods, Dissolved Oxygen concentration didn't change, and Electrical Conductivity measurements agreed well within the range of normal clean stream water quality. After construction of the torrent control structure using customized tetrapods, fishes and snials up and down stream movement didn't influence of the tetrapods dam. Stream water quality during 2 years after construction of the torrent control structure was similar to before construction. Therefore, it was find out that the torrent control structure didn't affect stream water quality and ecology.

After construction of the torrent control structure using customized tetrapods, average of total amount of anion was 3.07/2.30~3.60 mg/L, being slightly greater than before construction. Stream water quality after construction of the torrent control structure was similar to before construction. Therefore, it was find out that the torrent control structure didn't affect stream water quality.

Although Internet of Things already became a new paradigm on service on network, we should pay more effort for studying about its testing method, since humans, things and environments in IoT are connected to each other without any restrictions. Earlier researches based on emulators showed that such virtual devices on emulators had unavoidable gap between them and real things. Furthermore, growth of connection complexity between the devices and loosing of restrictions make the gap wider. Accordingly, in this paper, we suppose a method of test coverage measurement based on BitTorrent for IoT environment. It has cooperation features among homogeneous devices with avoiding the overlapping on each part of whole test process.

In 1950, Anne $H{\acute{e}}bert$ published Le Torrent, a collection of seven short stories. These stories containing many shocking themes and expressions have placed her one of the pioneers of modern novels in Quebec. This paper tries to analyze several phases of alienation described in the novels and the reactions of alienated caracters in their situation. Some examples of alienated and mentally or physically deformed characters in Le Torrent are Fran?ois, $St{\acute{e}}phanie$, Stella, etc. Although the author wanted readers to interpret these characters on ther individual level, this paper interprets them differently. The result of this study is as following. Alienation doesn't come from one's interior but his exterior. Society and history are major agents of alienation. The injustice of life imposed on the caracters results from political and religious underdevelopment, cultural lowness, absence of social security system and of universal education at that time. The conquest of Quebec by England left a deep and historical wound on the French Canadians. This fact is, in my opinion, one of the essential themes of Anne $H{\acute{e}}bert^{\prime}s$ novels. In spite of all these alienating situations, the reactions showed by the caracters of the novels are limited to escapist illusion, self-destruction, mistaken revenge, eternal submission, etc. In conclusion, Le Torrent by Anne $H{\acute{e}}bert$ which deeply approached themes of violence and alienation could be called authentic landscape of the inner world of Quebecois before 'la Revolution tranquille.'
