Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in environmental pollution, electric vehicles are attracting attention as next-generation transportation and are becoming popular all over the world. As the interest in electric vehicles and the penetration rate increase, studies on the charging infrastructure with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and information technology are actively under way. In particular, communication with the grid network is the most important factor for stable charging and load management of electric vehicles. However, with the existing centralized infrastructure, there are problems when control-message requests increase and the charging infrastructure cannot efficiently operate due to slow response speed. In this paper, we propose a new charging infrastructure using mobile edge computing (MEC) that mitigates congestion and provides low latency by applying distributed cloud computing technology to wireless base stations. Through a performance evaluation, we confirm that the proposed charging infrastructure (with low latency) can cope with peak conditions more efficiently than the existing charging infrastructure.

Searching distributed resource efficiently is very important in distributed computing, cloud computing environment. Distributed resource searching may have system overheads and take much time in proportion to the searching number, because distributed resource searching has to circuit many peers for searching information. The open-source community project JXTA defines an open set of standard protocols for ad hoc, pervasive, peer-to-peer computing as a common platform for developing a wide variety of decentralized network applications. In this paper, we proposed peer search algorithm based on JXTA-Sim. original JXTA peer searching algorithm selected a loosely-consistent DHT. Our Lookup algorithm decreases message number of WALK_LOOKUP and reduce the network system overload, and we make a result of same performance both original algorithm and our proposed algorithm.

In the current era of big data and cloud computing, the amount of data utilized is increasing, and various systems to process this big data rapidly are being developed. A distributed file system is often used to store the data, and glusterFS is one of popular distributed file systems. As computer technology has advanced, NAND flash SSDs (Solid State Drives), which are high performance storage devices, have become cheaper. For this reason, datacenter operators attempt to use SSDs in their systems. They also try to install glusterFS on SSDs. However, since the glusterFS is designed to use HDDs (Hard Disk Drives), when SSDs are used instead of HDDs, the performance is degraded due to structural problems. The problems include the use of I/O-cache, Read-ahead, and Write-behind Translators. By removing these features that do not fit SSDs which are advantageous for random I/O, we have achieved performance improvements, by up to 255% in the case of 4KB random reads, and by up to 50% in the case of 64KB random reads.

In this paper, we present a tool (named VMBootFailMonitor) to detect and analyze a failure of a VM boot creation caused by faults on virtual disks of a Xen-based VM. Also, we presents an architecture and detail analysis process of the virtual disk faults in our tool. Especially, VMBootFailMonitor provides a causual analysis result for a case of VM creation failure based on three modules which performs virtual disk analysis, virtualized system analysis and system log analysis. We also support a comparison result between boot times of normal VMs and fault detection times of VM creation based on abnormal virtual disks. At result, our tool detects VM boot failures (3~6 seconds) within normal VM boot times (8~16 seconds).

With the proliferation of cloud computing and services, the internet traffic and the demand for better quality of service are increasing. For this reason, server virtualization and network virtualization technology, which uses the resources of internal servers in the data center more efficiently, is receiving increased attention. However, the existing hardware Test Access Port (TAP) equipment is unfit for deployment in the virtual datapaths configured for server virtualization. Virtual TAP (vTAP), which is a software version of the hardware TAP, overcomes this problem by duplicating packets in a virtual switch. However, implementation of vTAP in a virtual switch has a performance problem because it shares the computing resources of the host machines with virtual switch and other VMs. We propose a vTAP implementation technique based on the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), which is a high-speed packet processing technology, and compare its performance with that of the existing vTAP.

A software defined storage (SDS) is being deployed in cloud environment to allow multiple users to virtualize physical servers, but a solution for optimizing space efficiency with limited physical resources is needed. In the conventional data deduplication system, it is difficult to deduplicate redundant data uploaded to distributed storages. In this paper, we propose a distributed deduplication method using similarity-based clustering and multi-layer bloom filter. Rabin hash is applied to determine the degree of similarity between virtual machine servers and cluster similar virtual machines. Therefore, it improves the performance compared to deduplication efficiency for individual storage nodes. In addition, a multi-layer bloom filter incorporated into the deduplication process to shorten processing time by reducing the number of the false positives. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the deduplication ratio by 9% compared to deduplication method using IP address based clusters without any difference in processing time.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution era began, a variety of devices are running on the cloud. These various devices continue to generate various types of data or large amounts of multimedia data. To handle this situation, a large amount of storage is required, and big data technology is required to process stored data and obtain accurate information. NAS (Network Attached Storage) or SAN (Storage Area Network) technology is typically used to build high-speed, high-capacity storage in a network-based environment. In this paper, we propose a method to construct a mass storage device using Network-DAS which is an extension technology of DAS (Direct Attached Storage). Benchmark experiments were performed to verify the scalability of the storage system with 76 HDD. Experimental results show that the proposed high performance mass storage system is scalable and reliable.

In the cloud computing environment, there has been a lot of research into the Fog/Edge Computing (FEC) paradigm for securing user proximity of application services and computation offloading to alleviate service delay difficulties. The method of predicting dynamic location change patterns of edge devices (moving objects) requesting application services is critical in this FEC environment for efficient computing resource distribution and deployment. This paper proposes an optimal moving pattern extraction algorithm in which variable weights (distance, time, congestion) are applied to selected paths in addition to a support factor threshold for frequency patterns (moving objects) of edge devices. The proposed algorithm is compared to the OPE_freq [8] algorithm, which just applies frequency, as well as the A^* and Dijkstra algorithms, and it can be shown that the execution time and number of nodes accessed are reduced, and a more accurate path is extracted through experiments.

The smart grid system has emerged to maximize energy efficiency through real-time information exchange between power providers and consumers by combining information technology and power supply systems. The authentication schemes using blockchain in a smart grid system have been proposed, which utilize an edge server's architecture to collect and store electric power-related information and process data between a central cloud server and smart grid-IoT devices. Although authentication schemes are being proposed to enhance security in the smart grid environment, many vulnerabilities are still reported. This paper presents a new mutual authentication scheme to guarantee users' privacy and anonymity in a smart grid based on edge computing using blockchain. In the proposed scheme, we use the smart contract for the key management's efficiency, such as updating and discarding key materials. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme not only securely establishes a session key between the smart grid-IoT device of the user and the edge server but also guarantees anonymity.

태양 에너지 수집형 IoT 기기는 주기적으로 재충전되는 태양 에너지의 특성상, 에너지 소모를 최소화하기보다는 수집된 에너지를 최대한 유용하게 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 한편, 데이터 기밀성과 프라이버시, 응답속도, 비용 등의 이유로 클라우드가 아닌 데이터 소스 근처에서 머신러닝을 수행하는 엣지 AI에 대한 연구도 활발한데, 그 중 하나는 여러 IoT 장치들이 수집한 오디오 데이터를 활용하여, 다양한 AI 응용들을 IoT 엣지 컴퓨팅 환경에서 제공하는 것이다. 그러나, 이와 관련된 많은 연구에서, IoT 기기들은 에너지의 제약으로 인하여, 엣지 서버(IoT 서버)로의 센싱 데이터 전송만을 수행하고, 데이터 전처리를 포함한 모든 AI 과정은 엣지 서버에서 수행한다. 이 경우, 엣지 서버의 과부하 문제 뿐 아니라, 학습 및 추론에 불필요한 데이터까지도 서버에 그대로 전송되므로 네트워크 과부하 문제도 야기한다. 또한, 이를 해결하고자, 데이터 전처리 과정을 각 IoT 기기에 모두 맡긴다면, 기기의 에너지 부족으로 정전시간이 증가하는 또 다른 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 각 IoT 기기의 에너지 상태에 따라 데이터 전처리 여부를 결정함으로써, 기기들의 정전시간 증가 문제를 완화시키면서 서버 집중형 엣지 AI 환경의 문제들(엣지 서버 및 네트워크 과부하)을 완화시키고자 한다. 제안기법에서 IoT 장치는 기기가 기본적으로 동작하는 데 필요한 에너지 외의 여분의 에너지 양을 예측하고, 이 여분의 에너지가 있는 경우에만 이를 사용하여 기기에서 전처리 과정, 즉 수집 대상 소리 판별과 잡음 제거 과정을 거친 후 서버에 전송함으로써, IoT기기의 정전시간에 영향을 주지 않으면서, 에너지 적응적으로 데이터 전처리 위치(IoT기기 또는 엣지 서버)를 결정하여 수행한다.
