With rapid growth in the amount of data transferred on the Internet, traditional storage systems have reached the limits of their capacity and performance. SAN (Storage Area Network), which connects hosts to disk with the Fibre Channel switches, provides one of the powerful solutions to scale the data storage and servers. In this environment, the maintenance of data consistency among hosts is an important issue because multiple hosts share the files on disks attached to the SAN. To preserve data consistency, each host can execute the disk I/O whenever disk read and write operations are requested. However, frequent disk I/O requests cause the deterioration of the overall performance of a SAN cluster. In this paper, we introduce a SANtopia global buffer manager to improve the performance of a SAN cluster reducing the number of disk I/Os. We describe the design and algorithms of the SANtopia global buffer manager, which provides a buffer cache sharing mechanism among the hosts in the SAN cluster. Micro-benchmark results to measure the performance of block I/O operations show that the global buffer manager achieves speed-up by the factor of 1.8-12.8 compared with the existing method using disk I/O operations. Also, File system micro-benchmark results show that SANtopia file system with the global buffer manager improves performance by the factor of 1.06 in case of directories and 1.14 in case of files compared with the file system without a global buffer manager.

Write amplification is a critical factor that limits the stable performance of flash-based storage systems. To reduce write amplification, this paper presents a new technique that cooperatively manages data in flash storage and nonvolatile memory (NVM). Our scheme basically considers NVM as the cache of flash storage, but allows the original data in flash storage to be invalidated if there is a cached copy in NVM, which can temporarily serve as the original data. This scheme eliminates the copy-out operation for a substantial number of cached data, thereby enhancing garbage collection efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the copy-out overhead of garbage collection by 51.4% and decreases the standard deviation of response time by 35.4% on average.

Recently, the convergence of the telecommunications industry through the development of network media has brought along interactive data services in addition to the traditional broadcast services by providing direct connections between the users and the broadcasters. This can be easily achieved by the combination of existing network technology and multimedia technology, but in reality, as seen in the actual implementation of IPVT, it's difficult to provide satisfactory levels of service to users due to issues of network bandwidth and problems of streaming system. In particular, a network which is able to fully support Qos/QoE, and also a fast enough channel changing technology that is satisfactory to the user, are prerequisites for IPTV success. Therefore this thesis proposes a fast channel changing technique to delivery enhanced IPTV user experience. Recent IP set-top-boxes use only a small portion of the CPU to feed Ethernet packets to the hardware decoder and play them. Thus, by making IP set-top-boxes share cached channel information and content with each other, reducing the load on the server and enhancing the channel changing time is made possible.

The convergence of the telecommunication industry through the combination of existing network technology and multimedia technology has brought along interactive data services in addition to the traditional broadcast services by providing direct connections between the users and the broadcasters. The interactive data service technology has developed a network which is able to fully support QoS and also a fast enough channel changing technology that is satisfactory to the user, are prerequisites for IPTV success, to provide satisfactory levels of service to exist users. However the current server-client system can't support all increasing needs of users. To overcome these limitations, P2P based IPTV service is currently under researched. Therefore, this thesis proposes a logical view based copy-ahead technique for P2P IPTV to improve the performance of IPTV system.

Recently, mobile SNS traffic has increased tremendously due to the deployment of smart devices such as smart phones and smart tablets. In this paper, mobile integrated SNS gateway is proposed to cope with massive SNS traffic. Most of mobile SNS applications update the information with individual connection to the corresponding servers. The proposed gateway integrates these applications. It is for reducing SNS traffic caused by continuous data request and improving the mobile communication performance. The key elements of the mobile integrated SNS gateway are the synchronization, cache and integrated certification. The proposed protocol and gateway system have implemented on the testbed which deployed on the real network to evaluate the performance of the proposed gateway. Finally, we present the caching performance of gateway system implementation.

In mobile ad hoc networks, service discovery to search for an available service is an important issue. In this paper, we propose an efficient service discovery protocol that is combined a dht-based service discovery scheme and a P2P caching-based information spreading scheme. Proposed scheme store key information in hashed zone and search services using it's information. To search quickly a service, it use its physical neighbors information which collected by 1-hop hello message between a node and its physical neighbors. We do not use a central look up server and do not rely on flooding. Hence, it uniquely balanced all node's load in mobile ad hoc networks and reduced the number of messages exchanged, network load and response time. The simulation results show that our protocol outperforms DHT-based and flooding protocols.

In recent times, NAND flash memory has become widely used as secondary storage for computing devices. Accordingly, to take advantage of NAND flash memory, new file systems have been actively studied and proposed. The performance of these file systems is generally measured with benchmark tools. However, since benchmark tools are executed by software simulation methods, many researchers get non-uniform benchmark results depending on the system environments. In this paper, we use Filebench, one of the most popular and representative benchmark tools, to analyze benchmark results and study the reasons why the benchmark result variations occur. Our experimental results show the differences in benchmark results depending on the system environments. In addition, this study substantiates the fact that system performance is affected mainly by background I/O requests and fsync operations.

Recently, dynamic proxy caching has been proposed on the distributed environment so that media objects by user's requests can be served directly from the proxy without contacting the server. However, it makes caching challenging due to multimedia large sizes, low latency and continuous streaming demands of media objects. To solve the problems caused by streaming demands of media objects, this paper has been proposed the grouping scheme with fuzzy filtering based on partition and mapping. For partition and mapping, this paper divides media block segments into fixed partition reference block(R$_f$P) and variable partition reference block(R$_v$P). For semantic relationship, it makes fuzzy relationship to performs according to the fixed partition temporal synchronization(T$_f$) and variable partition temporal synchronization(T$_v$). Simulation results show that the proposed scheme makes streaming service efficiently with a high average request response time rate and cache hit rate and with a low delayed startup ratio compared with other schemes.

The existing web page was downloaded and provided to the user every time the user requested the page. Therefore, if the same page is repeatedly requested by the user, only the download for the same resource is repeated. This is a factor that causes unnecessary consumption of data. We focus on reducing data consumption caused by unnecessary requests between users and servers, and improving content delivery speed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a caching system and an algorithm that can reduce the data consumption while maintaining the latest cache by comparing the hash value using the hash function that can detect the change of the file requested by the user.

VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork) is one of the special cases of the ad hoc networks in which car nodes communicate with each other and/or with RSUs (Road Side Unit) in order for the drivers to receive nearby road traffic information as well as for the passengers to retrieve nearby gas price or hotel information. In case of constructing VANET over CCN, users do not need to specify a destination server address rather to input a key word such as nearby congestion in order to gather surrounding traffic congestion information. Furthermore, each car node caches its retrieved data for forwarding other nodes when requested. In addition, the data transmission is inherently multicast, which implies fast data propagation to the participating car nodes. This paper measures and evaluates the data transmission performance of the VCCN (VANET over CCN) in which nodes are equipped with diverse wireless communication channels. The simulation result indicates that 802.11a shows the best performance of the data transmission against other wireless channels. Moreover, it indicates that VCCN improves overall data transmission and provides benefit to the nodes that request the same traffic information by exploiting inherent multicast communication.
