클라우드 컴퓨팅은 워크플로우 응용의 처리에 있어 효율적으로 시스템을 구축할 수 있도록 한다. 그렇지만 여러 클라우드 사업자 측에서 다양한 서비스를 제공하고, 이로 인해 발생하는 복잡성으로 사용자 스스로 클라우드 인프라를 활용하여 워크플로우 처리를 수행하는 것은 어려운 일이며, 이 문제를 극복하기 위해 클라우드 브로커 시스템이 도입되었다. 이와 같은 브로커 시스템에서 워크플로우를 처리할 때 사용자가 지정한 품질 제약을 만족시키는 이슈를 해결하기 위해 많은 워크플로우 스케쥴링에 대한 연구들이 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 환경에서 보다 효율적인 워크플로우 처리를 위해 기존 워크플로우 스케쥴링 기법의 연구들에 대한 특징과 한계에 대한 조사를 수행하였다.

다양한 과학 응용들은 데이터들을 처리하기 위해 높은 효율성을 제공하는 클라우드 인프라를 활용한다. 이 때 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 작업을 효율적으로 스케쥴링하는 것은 작업 처리 성능, 자원 활용을 및 작업 처리 시스템의 처리량에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 인프라에서 제공된 자원이 갖는 성능의 변동을 고려하여 사용자의 작업 완료 시간에 대한 품질 제약을 만족시키기 위한 작업 스케쥴링 기법을 제시하였다. 성능 평가를 통해 작업 지연이 발생한 상황에서 본 논문에서 제안한 작업 복제를 이용한 워크플로우 스케쥴링 기법을 활용했을 때, 작업 복제를 이용하지 않았을 때에 비해 효과적으로 요청된 워크플로우 종료 시간 내에 처리를 수행하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 가상화된 자원 인스턴스를 할당받아 응용을 처리할 때 적절한 서비스질을 만족하면서도 자원 운용 비용을 최소화하는 것이 중요한 이슈로 연구되고 있다. 그리드 환경과는 달리 클라우드 환경에서는 모든 가상 자원 인스턴스는 작업의 처리시간이 아닌 고정된 자원 할당 시간을 기준으로 가격이 책정되므로 기존의 그리드 환경을 고려한 자원 스케쥴링 기법은 클라우드 환경에서는 부적절한 자원 낭비를 발생시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 클라우드 가격 정책을 고려한 휴리스틱 기반의 자원 스케쥴링 기법을 제안하고 이를 워크플로우 응용에 적용시키고자 한다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위하여 Montage 프로젝트를 워크플로우 응용으로 채택하였고 이를 Openstack 기반 클라우드 플랫폼을 기반으로 실험을 수행하였다.

Background: Decision making modalities for screening for many cancer conditions and different stages have become increasingly complex. Computer-based risk assessment systems facilitate scheduling and decision making and support the delivery of cancer screening services. The aim of this article was to survey electronic risk assessment system as an appropriate tool for the prevention of cancer. Materials and Methods: A qualitative design was used involving 21 face-to-face interviews. Interviewing involved asking questions and getting answers from exclusive managers of cancer screening. Of the participants 6 were female and 15 were male, and ages ranged from 32 to 78 years. The study was based on a grounded theory approach and the tool was a semi-structured interview. Results: Researchers studied 5 dimensions, comprising electronic guideline standards of colorectal cancer screening, work flow of clinical and genetic activities, pathways of colorectal cancer screening and functionality of computer based guidelines and barriers. Electronic guideline standards of colorectal cancer screening were described in the s3 categories of content standard, telecommunications and technical standards and nomenclature and classification standards. According to the participations' views, workflow and genetic pathways of colorectal cancer screening were identified. Conclusions: The study demonstrated an effective role of computer-guided consultation for screening management. Electronic based systems facilitate real-time decision making during a clinical interaction. Electronic pathways have been applied for clinical and genetic decision support, workflow management, update recommendation and resource estimates. A suitable technical and clinical infrastructure is an integral part of clinical practice guidline of screening. As a conclusion, it is recommended to consider the necessity of architecture assessment and also integration standards.

The work of investigation in the laboratory medicine includes various kinds of investigations and microbes and it is too complicated to draw needed results in time. So, we aim to improve work performance of the laboratory medicine. For this study, we implemented the scheduling system in microbe investigation using agent environment and the workflow management system to manage the schedule of investigation, and the query system to check the schedule. And preliminary report and final report of microbe investigation can be announced automatically using agent. The scheduling system implemented could identify the lack or waste of resources and thus enable efficient management and distribution of resources. The query system could check the schedule and retrieve the Processing status in short time, enabled the automated report, and reduced possible interrupts and the delay of work that can be occurred in confirming process. It also enables users to access from local and remote sites. Also, this system can reduce the conflicts among People that may occur in unexpected situations because it enables doctors to confirm those situations such as the malfunction of instrument and the lack of agar or reagent, and the efficiency of work process can be expected.

The workloads of large high-performance computing (HPC) scientific applications are steadily becoming "bursty" due to variable resource demands throughout their execution life-cycles. However, the over-provisioning of virtual resources for optimal performance during execution remains a key challenge in the scheduling of scientific HPC applications. While over-provisioning of virtual resources guarantees peak performance of scientific application in virtualized environments, it results in increased amounts of idle resources that are unavailable for use by other applications. Herein, we proposed a memory resource reconfiguration approach that allows the quick release of idle memory resources for new applications in OS-level virtualized systems, based on the applications resource-usage pattern profile data. We deployed a scientific workflow application in Docker, a light-weight OS-level virtualized system. In the proposed approach, memory allocation is fine-tuned to containers at each stage of the workflows execution life-cycle. Thus, overall memory resource utilization is improved.

One of the important applications in Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) systems is the Manufacturing Resource Planning(MRPII) system using Bill of Material(BOM). The manufacturing resource planning determines the quantity and timing of the production or purchase of subassemblies and raw materials needed to support the Master Production Scheduling(MPS). The bill of material is the recipe, a list of the materials needed to make a product. This paper intends to suggest a component-based materials management system using Unified Modeling Language(UML), as an application system for automobile part industry. Applying component based materials management systems designed with UML methodology, we analyzed the workflow and the document on materials management process from production planning to inventory management, and implemented a prototype of efficient materials management system, as a surrogate of existing material requirement planning(MRPI) system. To produce many other assemblies for a automobile part firm, component parts are assembled into subassemblies that are joined to assemble the finished product. Through the system suggested in this study, the level of inventory has cut down and the cost of inventory management has decreased. Also, the development method using UML makes the analysis and design phase to shorten in implementation period of MRPII system. The implementation of materials management system using CBD shows the ease of use in software reuse and the interoperability with corporate Internal information system. The result of applying object-oriented CBD technique is to minimize the risk of life cycle and facilitate the reuse of software as mentioned to limitation of information engineering methodology.
