Today's growth of the mobile communication infrastructure made mobile computing systems like cellular phones came next to or surpassed the desktop PCs in popularity due to their mobility. Although the performance of mobile devices is now being improved continuously, it is a current common sense that compute intensive large-scale applications can hardly run on any kind of mobile handset devices. To clear up this problem, we decided to exploit the mobile cluster computing system and surveyed the existing ones first. We found out, however, that most of them are not the actual implementations but a mobile cluster infrastructure proposal or idea suggestions for reliable mobile clustering. To make cell phones participated in cluster computing nodes, in this paper, we propose a redesigned JPVM cluster computing engine and a set of WIPI mobile runtime functions interfacing with it. And we also show the performance evaluation results of real parallel applications running on our Mobile-JPVM cluster computing systems. We find out by the performance evaluation that large-scale applications can sufficiently run on mobile devices such as cellular phones when using our mobile cluster computing engine.

대형시스템의 배터리 관리 시스템은 일반적인 운영체제(Operation System)나 실시간 운영체제(Real Time Operation System)를 사용하여 배터리 관리 시스템을 하는 반면 휴대용 전자정보기기와 같은 소형시스템에서는 유한상태머신(Finite State Machine)을 이용한 배터리 관리 시스템을 사용한다. 이러한 대형시스템은 대부분 고성능을 요구하기 때문에 시스템을 유지하기 위해서는 막대한 비용이 들어간다. 이 결과로 상업적 제품의 가격적인 장점을 위하여 특화된 기능만을 지원하는 유한상태머신을 사용하는 배터리 관리 시스템을 많이 이용하고 있다. 최근에는 멀티미디어 기록 및 재생의 많은 전력소모를 요구하는 모바일 시스템이 많아지므로 콘텐츠 기반 배터리 관리 시스템 등 복잡한 배터리 관리 시스템을 소형기기에 적용하기 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 운영체제를 기반으로 하는 배터리 관리 시스템은 모바일 시스템에 사용하기에는 자체 전력소비가 많으며, 유한상태머신을 사용하는 배터리 관리 시스템은 다양한 요구와 복잡한 배터리 관리 시스템의 기능을 수용할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 상기 두 가지 경우의 장점을 취한 이벤트 드리븐 프로그래밍(Event-Driven Programming) 방식을 사용하여 배터리 관리 시스템을 제안하고 제안된 시스템이 SBS(Smart Battery Data Specification v1.1)[1]를 만족할 수 있음을 보였다.

Recently with the rapid evolution of the mobile computing and communication technologies, mobile VOD service becomes increasingly important for wireless mobile users. The VOD service is being widely used in various areas of application, such as education, entertainment and business, because it provides users convenience in easily having access to video information at any time in any places. However, in reality, the mobile system has many difficulties in providing the smooth VOD service owing to frequent transfers and cutoffs of clients. The importance of a technique to transmit broadcasting is being stressed as a method for providing stabler mobile VOD service to a large number of clients. This paper is aimed at showing how to reduce demands for server bandwidth and delay of earlier service through performance analysis by suggesting an effective VOD broadcasting transmission technique through channel division in the mobile atmosphere. Many researches have been made about regular broadcasting techniques in particular. This study divides the methods used for assigning channels which have been decided by the size of segments into a group of regular channels and assistant channels using wireless gap-fillers to provide effective VOD services to a large number of clients at the mobile environment using small bandwidth resources. The regular channels transfer regular streams, while assistant channels repeatedly transfer the first segment to reduce early service delay time to receive regular streams. In this way, the study suggests a technique to reduce server bandwidth demand and early service delay time. Through the proposed technique, the server bandwidth demand could be reduced by more than 30 percent and the study continuously shows reduced early service delay time through conducting performance analysis.

The advancement of information technology and the popularization of Internet has explosively increased the amount of multimedia contents. Therefore, the requirement of multimedia recommendation to satisfy a user's needs increases fastly. Up to now, CF is used to recommend general items and multimedia contents. However, general CF doesn't reflect visual characteristics of image contents so that it can't be adaptable to image recommendation. Besides, it has limitations in new item recommendation, the sparsity problem, and dynamic change of user preference. In this paper, we present new image recommendation method FBCF (Feature Based Collaborative Filtering) to resolve such problems. FBCF builds new user profile by clustering visual features in terms of user preference, and reflects user's current preference to recommendation by using preference feedback. Experimental result using real mobile images demonstrate that FBCF outperforms conventional CF by 400% in terms of recommendation ratio.

With the improvement of computer performance in Mobile Environments, the users demand for the multimedia player is getting higher, which will be the major force behind the wide distribution of the media player that allows several moving pictures to run simultaneously using multiple windows on the screen. Products that adopted the same method used for a single moving picture and yet support the several moving pictures simultaneously emerged; however, they are not immune from problems. In this paper, we propose method to solve the problems of blinking, play prioritization processor and semi-transparent processor that occur when appling several moving pictures to the method used for a single moving picture and suggested the possible solutions. Taking it one step further, it focused on design and implementation of the media player that allows several moving pictures using overlapping and overlay technique by recognizing the biggest problem, which is that the above media play is not supported when playing several moving pictures simultaneously.

Due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services. Moreover, the user can service the participatory video broadcasting service in the mobile device and it can be used to deliver the real-time news and more variety information in the user side. Live multimedia service of user participation should consider not only the video quality but also the delay bounds and continuity of video playback for improving the user perceived QoS (Quality of Service) of streaming service. In this paper, we propose an adaptive rate control scheme, called DeBuG (Delay Bounds Guaranteed), to guarantee the delay bounds and continuity of video playback for the real-time streaming in mobile devices. In order to provide those, the proposed scheme has a quality adaptation function based on the transmission buffer status and network status awareness. It also has a selective frame dropper, which is based on the media priority, before the transmission video frames. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

A multimedia converter is used to create media suitable for own environment. If the data complying with own demands can not be created, it may accompany with a problem that has to convert the data with another transcoder. In addition, conventional converters do not consider source QoS and target QoS sufficiently, meaning that users should have a significant knowledge base about various media in order to obtain desired results. These problems become limits on the UMA(Universal Multimedia Access) environment. In this paper, we create a suitable transcoding path before performing the Digital Item conversion in consideration of source QoS and target QoS. The created transcoding path performs the adaptive transcoding using unit exchanges featuring connectivity. The consideration of QoS allows users to use the multimedia easily. Since the proposed model, in addition, use the unit transcoder, it provides a excellent adaptive capability for new QoS.

In this paper, we proposed fast stream cipher MS64 for use mobile that it is secure, fast, and easy to implement software. The proposed algorithm use the fast operating 213-bit arithmetic shift register(ASR) to generate a binary sequence and produce 64-bit stream cipher by using simple logical operation in non linear transform. MS64 supports 128-bit key in encryption algorithm and satisfy with the safety requirement in modern encryption algorithm. In simulation result shows that MS64 is faster than a 32-bit stream cipher SSC2 in the speed of operation with small usage of memory thus MS64 can be used for mobile devices with fast ciphering.
