Abstract

As technology advances swiftly and the lifespan of products becomes increasingly short, there is a demand to fasten the pace of research outcomes, product development, and market introduction. As a result, the researchers and developers need a computational experiment environment that enables rapid verification of the experiment and application of research findings. Such an environment must efficiently harness all available computational resources, manage simulations across diverse test scenarios, and support the experimental data collection. This research introduces the design and implementation of an experimental frame based on a microservice architecture. The experimental frame leverages scripts to utilize computing resources optimally, making it more straightforward for users to conduct simulations. It features an experimental frame capable of automatically deploying scenarios to the computing components. This setup allows for the automatic configuration of both the computing environment and experiments based on user-provided scenarios and experimental software, facilitating effortless execution of simulations.

기술이 급속도로 발전하고 제품 수명주기가 짧아짐에 따라 연구 성과의 도출과 제품 개발 및 출시 과정을 가속화할 필요성이 점차 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 개발자의 연구 결과를 빠르게 확인하고 적용하기 위한 모의실험을 위한 컴퓨팅 환경이 필요하게 되었다. 모의실험을 위한 컴퓨팅 환경은 가용한 컴퓨팅 자원을 최대한 활용할 수 있어야 하며 실험하고자 하는 다수의 시나리오에 대해서 모의실험을 관리하고 실험 결과 취합을 용이하게 진행해야 한다. 이와 같은 모의실험 환경을 구축하기 위해서 본 연구는 마이크로서비스 아키텍처 기반의 모의실험 환경을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안하는 모의실험 환경은 모의실험을 수행하고자 하는 사용자가 손쉽게 실험을 수행할 수 있도록 스크립트 기반으로 가용 컴퓨팅 자원을 활용하여 실험 환경을 구성하고 자동으로 시나리오가 배포될 수 있도록 실험 틀을 설계하였으며 사용자가 제공하는 시나리오와 실험 대상 소프트웨어를 활용하여 컴퓨팅 환경과 실험이 자동으로 구성되어 모의실험을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다.
