This paper contains the implementation and performance evaluation results of a system that collects environmental data at the time when the wild animal intrusion occurred at farms and then predicts future wild animal intrusions through a machine learning-based Vector Autoregression(VAR) model. To collect the data for intrusion prediction, an IoT-based hardware prototype was developed, which was installed on a small farm located near the school and simulated over a long period to generate intrusion events. The intrusion prediction service based on the implemented VAR model provides the date and time when intrusion is likely to occur over the next 30 days. In addition, the proposed system includes the function of providing real-time notifications to the farmers mobile device when wild animals intrusion occurs in the farm, and performance evaluation was conducted to confirm that the average response time was 7.89 seconds.

With the advent of Web 2.0, OpenAPIs are becoming an increasing trend to emphasize Web as platform recently. OpenAPIs are used to combine services and generate new services by mashup. However because the standard documents for OpenAPIs do not exist, it may restrict the use of OpenAPIs. Previous studies of OpenAPIs mashup have been limited to tool design or language definition for service combination rather than dynamic composition. On the other hand, Web services that are a software technology implementing SOA provide standard documents such as WSDL to explain each service, UDDI to register it, and SOAP to transfer messages. Thus Web applications can interpret and execute services by using these technologies. Recent works have also been performed to provide semantic features and dynamic composition for SOA. If a dynamic and systematic approach is provided to combine Web services and OpenAPIs, Web applications can provide users with diverse services. In this study, we present a SOA based framework for mashup of OpenAPIs and Web services. The framework supports dynamic composition of OpenAPIs and Web services, where the process of composite services is described in OWL-S. A prototype is provided to validate our framework. The framework is expected to add diversity to typical Web services.

유비쿼터스 환경에서는 사용자가 컴퓨터 및 네트워크의 존재를 의식하지 않는 상태에서 다양한 서비스를 이용하게 된다. 주변에 있는 PC, 냉장고, TV, 자동차 등의 모든 기기에 프로세서가 내장되고 네트워크가 연결되어 특정한 서비스를 제공하기 위해 함께 동작하게 된다. 이러한 장치와 서비스들을 연동하기 위한 현재의 솔루션은 클라이언트-서버 방식의 분산 컴퓨팅 모델이다. 각각의 장치가 원격 프로시듀어 흑은 원격 객체의 형태로 서버를 제공하고 이들을 하나의 클라이언트가 시나리오대로 그것들을 호출함으로써 응용을 완성할 수 있다. 하지만, 이러한 분산 컴퓨팅 모델을 지원하는 프로그래밍 환경으로는 다음과 같은 한계가 있다. 첫째, 소프트웨어 배치(deployment) 문제가 발생한다. 수 많은 시나리오를 생각해 볼 수 있는 유비쿼터스 환경에서는 특정 장치를 공장에서 생산하여 출고할 때 어떤 서버 소프트웨어가 미리 설치되어야 하는지는 가늠할 수 없는 문제이다. 둘째, 성능 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 각 장치의 함수를 호출하는 것은 대부분 원격 함수(remote procedure)이므로 한번 호출하는데 상당한 자원이 소요된다. 하지만, 시나리오를 구현하기 위해서는 특정 장치의 함수를 여러 번 호출해야 되는 상황이 자주 연출된다. 이러한 상황을 피하여 성능을 향상 시키기 위해서는 각 장치에 요구되는 부문 시나리오가 한번에 호출로 처리될 수 있어야 한다. 셋째, 유지 보수 문제가 발생할 수 있다 하나의 서비스가 여러 개의 서버 프로그램과 클라이언트 프로그램으로 구성되기 때문에 한번 업그레이드를 할 때 모든 구성 요소들이 모두 버전 업이 되어야 한다. 넷째, 유비쿼터스 환경에 적합한 추상화 개념의 부재를 들 수 있다. 다양한 장치, 웹서비스 및 데이터 들이 연동되어 하나의 서비스 시나리오를 구현함에 있어서 현재의 프로그래밍 언어는 높은 수준의 추상화 개념을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 코드 기술을 프로그래밍 언어에 적용하여 유비쿼터스 환경에서의 다양한 장치들과 서비스들을 손쉽게 통합하여 애플리케이션 시나리오를 구현할 수 있는 새로운 프로그래밍 언어인 유비스크립트(ubiscript)를 제안한다. 유비스크립트에서는 모바일 코드의 개념을 통해서 앞서 언급한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 모바일 코드에서는 프로그램 코드가 네트워크를 통해서 컴퓨터를 이동하면서 수행되는 개념인데, 이는 물리적으로 떨어져있으면서 네트워크로 연결되어 있는 다양한 컴퓨팅 장치가 서로 연동하기 위한 모델에 가장 적합하다. 이는 기본적으로 배포(deploy)라는 단계가 필요 없게 되고, 새로운 버전의 프로그램이 작성될지라도 런타임에 코드가 직접 이동하게 되므로 버전 관리의 문제도 해결된다. 게다가 원격 함수를 매번 호출하지 않고 한번 이동된 코드가 원격지에서 모두 수행을 하게 되므로 성능향상에도 도움이 된다. 장소 객체(Place Object)와 원격 스코프(Remote Scope)는 앞서 설명한 특징을 직접적으로 지원하는 언어 요소이다. 장소 객체는 모바일 코드가 이동해서 수행될 계산 환경(computational environment)에 대한 레퍼런스이다. 원격 스코프는 원격지의 컴퓨터에 존재하는 계산 환경의 스코프(scope)를 로컬 계산 환경에 적용할 수 있도록 하는 언어 요소이다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 장치와 서비스들을 연동하기에는 현재의 프로그래밍 모델은 배포, 유지 보수, 성능 등의 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 코드 개념을 도입한 새로운 프로그래밍 언어인 유비스크립트를 제안하여 이러한 문제점들을 극복하고자 하였다. 유비스크립트에서는 유비쿼터스 환경을 직접적으로 표현할 수 있도록 새로운 언어 요소인 장소 객체와 원격 스코프 개념을 도입하였고, 프로토타입과 가상의 시나리오 구현을 통하여 기존의 프로그래밍 언어보다 유비쿼터스 환경에 더 적합하고, 단순하며 생산성이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.

To meet the interoperability requirements associated with geospatial data access and geoprocessing, much efforts to design prototypical systems conforming to $OpenGIS^{TM}$ specification has been made. With respect to Object Web GIS, however, current internet mapping technology mainly focuses on either developing mapping libraries or client applications regardless of the future needs for interoperability such as an integration of $OpenGIS^{TM}$ standard for CORBA. In this paper, we propose an $OpenGIS^{TM}$ compliant mapping kernel. OpenViews, which is designed to meet those requirements. The kernel of OpenViews encapsulates the process of acquiring geospatial data in the format of $OpenGIS^{TM}$ Geometry through ORB(Object Request Broker). OpenViews, being designed based on well-known design patterns, is a highly extensible in that programmers can easily customize it on the object oriented architecture. The components implemented in OpenViews are CORBA/Java objects, and as such are portable and scalable in a networked environment. A companion package, OpenBroker, is also developed as a portable geoprocessing application server to facilitate the implementation and configuration of server side CORBA objects. It can be used for implementing objects for spatial analysis service which would be independent of legacy spatial database systems in many cases. OpenViews, together with OpenBroker, has been successfully prototyped using the technologies including EJB and servlet as the core components of an Open GIS compliant internet mapping.

In the ASP(Application Service Provider) business, applications using database sometimes require some data from clients' databases. These days such data are extracted from client database using manual database operations as an EXCEL file and the ASP, once receiving this file, transfers it into the application's database using manual database operations. This paper describes how to deal with data transmitting between the client database and ASP database on the web without using database manual operations for data extraction and insertion. We propose a framework which enables to transmit client data in a systematical way, to match different attribute names of each database for sharing same attribute values, and to avoid exposing information about the network path of client database to the ASP. This approach consists of two steps of data processing. The first is extracting data from client database as XML format by using a downloaded client program from ASP site, the second is uploading and storing the XML file into the ASP database. The implemented prototype system shows the suggested data integration paradigm is valid and ASP business needing integration of client database can be activated using it.

Self-growing software is a software system that has the capability of evolving its functionalities and configurations by itself based on dynamically monitored situations. Self-growing software is especially necessary for intelligent service robots, which must have the capability to monitor their surrounding environments and provide appropriate behaviors for human users. However, it is hard to anticipate all situations that robots face with, and it is hard to make robots have all functionalities for various environments. In addition, robots have limited internal capacity. To support self-growing software for intelligent service robots, we are developing a cell-based distributed repository system that allows robots and developers transparently to share robot functionalities. To accomplish the creation of evolutionary repositories, we invented the concept of a cell, which is a logical group of distributed repositories based upon the functionalities of components. In addition, a cell can be used as a unit for the evolutionary growth of the components within the repositories. In this paper, we describe the requirements and architecture of the cell-based repository system for self-growing software. We also present a prototype implementation and experiment of the repository system. Through the cell-based repositories, we achieve improved performance of self-growing actions for robots and efficient sharing of components among robots and developers.

For the past few years, KISTI has been servicing an online simulation execution platform, called EDISON, allowing users to conduct simulations on various scientific applications supplied by diverse computational science and engineering disciplines. Typically, these simulations accompany large-scale computation and accordingly produce a huge volume of output data. One critical issue arising when conducting those simulations on an online platform stems from the fact that a number of users simultaneously submit to the platform their simulation requests (or jobs) with the same (or almost unchanging) input parameters or files, resulting in charging a significant burden on the platform. In other words, the same computing jobs lead to duplicate consumption computing and storage resources at an undesirably fast pace. To overcome excessive resource usage by such identical simulation requests, in this paper we introduce a novel framework, called IceSheet, to efficiently manage simulation data based on execution metadata, that is, provenance. The IceSheet framework captures and stores each provenance associated with a conducted simulation. The collected provenance records are utilized for not only inspecting duplicate simulation requests but also performing search on existing simulation results via an open-source search engine, ElasticSearch. In particular, this paper elaborates on the core components in the IceSheet framework to support the search and reuse on the stored simulation results. We implemented as prototype the proposed framework using the engine in conjunction with the online simulation execution platform. Our evaluation of the framework was performed on the real simulation execution-provenance records collected on the platform. Once the prototyped IceSheet framework fully functions with the platform, users can quickly search for past parameter values entered into desired simulation software and receive existing results on the same input parameter values on the software if any. Therefore, we expect that the proposed framework contributes to eliminating duplicate resource consumption and significantly reducing execution time on the same requests as previously-executed simulations.
