Because of rapid growth of data size, the number of data storage has been increased. When using multiple data storages, a distribute file system is essential to insure the availability of data files. The power consumption is a major problem when using a distributed file system with many data storages. Previous works have aimed at reducing the energy consumption with efficient file block layout by changing some data servers into stand-by mode. The file block migration has not been seriously considered because migration causes large cost. But when we consider addition of a new data server or file, file block migration is needed. This paper formulates the minimization of data block migration as an ILP optimization problem and solves it using branch-and-bound method. Using this technique, we can maximize the number of stand-by data servers with the minimum number of file block movement. However, computation time of branch-and-bound method of an ILP optimization problem increases exponentially as the problem size grows. Therefore this paper also proposes a data block and data server grouping method to solve many small ILP problems.

Recently, as the semiconductor integration technology due to miniaturization and high density of electronic equipment have developed, it is importantly recognized the application of thermal control system in order to release inner heat generated from chips, modules, In this study, we considered the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a horizontal channel with four blocks using k-${\omega}$ SST turbulence model During CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, the parameters applied block width, block height, heat source and turbulence generator placement etc. As the boundary conditions of analysis, the channel inlet temperature and flow velocity were respectively 300 K and 3.84 m/s, the heat flux was $358W/m^2$. As a result, the heat transfer performance was decreased as the block width ratio (w/h) was increased, while it was increased as the block height ratio (h/w) was increased. In addition, as the arrangement of heat source size was increased to high heat flux from low heat flux, it was influenced by heat source size and the heat transfer coefficient showed a tendency to increase, When the turbulence generator was installed in the upper part of block No. 1 position the closely to the channel entrance, the heat transfer characteristics was greatly influenced on the whole of four heating blocks. and in oder to consider the pressure drop characteristics, we are able to select the most appropriate turbulence generator's position.

Blockchain technology is a system in which data from users participating in blockchain networks is distributed and stored. Bitcoin and Ethereum are attracting global attention, and the utilization of blockchain is expected to be endless. However, the need for blockchain data privacy protection is emerging in various financial, medical, and real estate sectors that process personal information due to the transparency of disclosing all data in the blockchain to network participants. Although studies using smart contracts, homomorphic encryption, and cryptographic key methods have been mainly conducted to protect existing blockchain data privacy, this paper proposes data privacy using matrix character relocation techniques differentiated from existing papers. The approach proposed in this paper consists largely of two methods: how to relocate the original data to matrix characters, how to return the deployed data to the original. Through qualitative experiments, we evaluate the safety of the approach proposed in this paper, and demonstrate that matrix character relocation will be sufficiently applicable in private blockchain environments by measuring the time it takes to revert applied data to original data.

In a genetic algorithm, computer simulations are performed based on the natural evolution process of life, such as selection, crossover, and mutation. The genetic algorithm searches the approximate optimal solution by the parallel arrangement of Schema, which has a short definition length, low order, and high adaptability. This study examined the possibility of improving the efficiency of the optimal solution by considering the characteristics of the building block hypothesis, which are one of the key operating principles of a genetic algorithm. This study evaluated the efficiency of the optimization results according to the gene sequence for the implementation in solving problems. The optimal design problem of the water pipe was selected, and the genetic arrangement order reflected the engineering specificity by dividing into the existing, the network topology-based, and the flowrate-based arrangement. The optimization results with a flowrate-based arrangement were, on average, approximately 2-3% better than the other batches. This means that to increase the efficiency of the actual engineering optimization problem, a methodology that utilizes clear prior knowledge (such as hydraulic properties) to prevent such excellent solution characteristics from disappearing is essential. The proposed method will be considered as a tool to improve the efficiency of large-scale water supply network optimization in the future.

Raised or plain block is widely used for the pedestrian's safe passage. The insincere construction, insufficient maintenance and obstacle overlaid on the pavement cause pedestrian's accidents. This paper proposes a method to detect brick path by analyzing the shape pattern and texture feature of brick located in visible distance for a safe passage. A brick appears to a regular type because of its specific shape which repeats with its sized gap and its type varies according to the surrounding environment or use. This paper shows a method which extracts the shape pattern by analyzing single surface polygon and its frequency appearing in road area. The shape pattern is used to detect similar shape regions. Some regions are not detected because extraneous substances or chopped bricks distort the original shape. This problem can be solved by analyzing the texture feature vector. The analyzed vector of the previously detected regions yields the Gaussian distribution. This value in each undetected region is computed and checked whether it's satisfied with Gaussian distribution or not. The satisfied region is detected as the brick path. The experiment was performed with the various type's bricks to recognize so that the results showed as accurate as 95.9% in average.

최근 소셜 미디어의 성정과 모바일 장치와 같은 디지털 기기의 활용이 증가함에 따라 데이터가 기하급수적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 대용량의 데이터를 처리하기 위한 대표적인 프레임워크로 맵-리듀스가 등장하였다. 하지만 전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 균등한 데이터 배치를 기반으로 수행되는 기존 맵-리듀스는 가용성이 다른 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 적합하지 않다. 이를 고려한 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에 최적화된 데이터 재배치 알고리즘이 제안되었지만, 데이터 재배치 알고리즘을 수행함으로써 재배치에 많은 시간을 필요로 하고, 불필요한 데이터 전송에 의한 네트워크 부하가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 비-전용 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 맵-리듀스의 성능 최적화를 위한 효율적인 데이터 재배치 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 노드의 가용성 분석 모델을 기반으로 노드의 데이터 블록 비율을 연산하고, 기존의 데이터 배치를 고려하여 전송함으로써 네트워크 부하를 감소시킨다. 성능평가 결과 기존 기법에 비해 데이터 재배치 블록 비율이 약 75% 감소하였다.

This paper presents the image contrast enhancement technique suitable for local dimming backlight of small-sized mobile display while achieving the reduction of the power consumption. In addition to the large-sized TFT-LCD, small-sized one has adopted LED for backlight. Since, conventionally, LED was mounted on the side edge of a display panel, global dimming method has been widely used. However, recently, new advanced method of local dimming by placing the LED to the backside of the display panel and it raised the necessity of sub-blocked processing after partitioning the target image. When the sub-blocked image has low brightness, the supply current of a backlight LED is reduced, which gives both enhancement of contrast ratio and power consumption reduction. In this paper, we propose simple and improved image enhancement algorithm suitable for the small-sized mobile display. After partitioning the input image by equal sized blocks and analyzing the pixel information in each block, we realize the primary contrast enhancement by independently processing the sub-blocks using the information such as histogram, mean, and standard deviation values of luminance(Y) component. And then resulting information is transferred to each backlight control unit for local dimming to realize the secondary contrast enhancement as well as reduction of power consumption.

In this paper, we propose a design and implementation method of speed quiz content that can be driven by a social robot capable of interacting with humans, and a method of developing an intelligent module necessary for implementation. In addition, we propose a method of implementing speed quiz content through the process of constructing a map by arranging and connecting intelligent module blocks. Recently, software education has become mandatory and interest in programming is increasing. However, programming is difficult for students without basic knowledge of programming languages to directly access, and interest in block-type programming platforms suitable for beginners is growing. The block-type programming platform used in this paper is a platform that supports immediate and intuitive programming by supporting interactions between humans and robots. In this paper, the intelligent module implemented for the speed quiz content was used by blocking it within a block-type programming platform. In order to implement the scenario of the speed quiz content proposed in this paper, we implement a total of three image-based artificial intelligence modules. In addition to the intelligent module, various functional blocks were placed to implement the speed quiz content. In this paper, we propose a method of designing a speed quiz content scenario and a method of implementing an intelligent module for speed quiz content.
