The growth of computer resource and network speed has increased requests for the use of remotely located computer systems by connecting through computer networks. This phenomenon has hoisted research activities for application service provision that uses server-based remote computing paradigm. The server-based remote computing paradigm has been developed as the ASP (Application Service Provision) model, which provides remote users through application sharing protocol to application programs. Security requirement such as confidentiality, availability, integrity should be satisfied to provide ASP service using centralized computing system. Existing Telnet or FTP service for a remote computing systems have satisfied security requirement by a simple access control to files and/or data. But windows-based centralized computing system is vulnerable to confidentiality, availability, integrity where many users use the same application program installed in the same computer. In other words, the computing system needs detailed security level for each user different from others, such that only authorized user or group of users can run some specific functional commands for the program. In this paper, we propose windows based centralized computing system that sets security policies for each user for the use of instructions of the application programs, and performs access control to the instructions based on the security policies. The system monitors all user messages which are executed through graphical user interface by the users connecting to the system. Ail Instructions, i.e. messages, for the application program are now passed to authorization process that decides if an Instruction is delivered to the application program based on the pre-defined security polices. This system can be used as security clearance for each user for the shared computing resource as well as shared application programs.

The application for PDA as a new wireless Internet device is variously developed to improve the function of PDA, and the application software must be installed to PDAs. In addition. when the power supply of PDA becomes fully discharged, all data stored in the RAM (Random Access Memory) could be vanished, and then the application programs should be reinstalled. This paper presents an automatic installation system of application program, PAIS (PDA Automatic Installation System). It is designed to solve the problem of PDA that PDA's users have to install the application programs on their PDA themselves. When this engine is applied, PDA users can save the time and effort for installation. It's convenient for the PDA users. The PDA and application software company can save the cost to create materials to explain the installation process.

기존 안드로이드 응용프로그램에 대한 자원 접근 제어는 응용프로그램을 작성한 개발자가 XML 파일에 미리 선언한 권한을 검사하는 방식으로 이루어진다. 이 권한은 인스톨되는 시점에 사용자의 동의를 얻어 해당 응용프로그램에 수여되며 응용프로그램이 특정 권한을 의도적으로 사용자로부터 은닉하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 하지만 사용자는 해당 응용프로그램에 허용하고자 하는 일부 권한만을 수여할 선택권이 없다. 선언된 모든 권한을 허락하거나 그렇지 않으면 아예 응용프로그램을 설치할 수 없게 된다. 또한, 응용프로그램에 부여한 권한을 변경할 수는 없고 박탈하는 방법은 응용프로그램을 삭제하는 방법밖에 없었다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 응용프로그램의 자원 접근을 사용자가 fine-grained 하게 제어할 수 있도록 하는 기법이다. 이를 위해 응용프로그램을 사용하는 시점에도 각 접근 권한을 '항상 허용', '항상 사용자가 확인' 그리고 '항상 거부'로 세부적으로 설정 및 변경이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, MS Windows Vista 에서 적용하고 있는 '사용자계정컨트롤'(User Account Control)과 같이 응용프로그램이 요구하는 권한 중 '항상 사용자가 확인'으로 설정 된 권한은 요청 시점에 사용자에게 팝업을 띄워 접근 제어에 대한 가시성을 확보하여 사용자가 확인할 수 있도록 하였고 사용자가 이를 수락한 경우에만 해당 권한을 수여 받을 수 있도록 하였다.

It is important to manage access control for secure ubiquitous applications. In this paper, we present an access-control system for executing policy file which includes access control rules. We implemented Context-aware Access Control Manager(CACM) based on Java Context-Awareness Framework(JCAF) which provides infrastructure and API for creating context-aware applications. CACM controls accesses to method call based on the access control rules in the policy file. We also implemented a support tool to help programmers modify incorrect access control rules using static analysis information, and a simulator for simulating ubiquitous applications. We describe simulation results for several ubiquitous applications.

In this paper, we developed the Distributed Programming Developing Tool(DPDT) which can make distributed application program efficiency based on the distributed object group framework supporting group management and dynamic binding for object resources requested from clients on distributed systems. The distributed object group framework we constructed provides not only the group register/withdraw, the access right and the name/property services for server objects from a point of view of group management services, but also dynamic binding, replicated object supporting, load balance, and federation among the object groups from a point of view of the supporting services of distributed application, When developing distributed application, by using our tool, server programming developer implements objects in each server system, next registers the properties to need for service provision to the object group. Client programming developer can also develop client program easily by obtaining the access right for the object or the object group and using the properties of objects with the access right permitted to the client. For providing above application developing environment in this paper. we described the definition of object group, the architecture of the distributed object group framework which our tool supports, and its functionalities, then specified the 3 GUI environments of DPDT implemented for providing efficient interfaces between the distributed object group and distributed applications. Finally, by using the DPDT, we showed the group register/withdraw and the access right grant procedure of objects which are server programs, the developing process of client program, and the executing results of the distributed application developed.

This paper presents the SIC(Size-Interval-Count) prefetching scheme that can record the file access patterns of applications within a relatively small space of memory based on the repetitiveness of the file access patterns. Several knowledge-based prefetching methods were recently introduced, which includes high correctness in predicting future accesses of applications. They records the access patterns of applications and uses recorded access pattern information to predict which blocks will be requested next. Yet, these methods require to much memory space. Accordingly, the proposed method then uses the recorded file access patterns, referred to as "SIC access pattern information", to correctly predict the future accesses of the applications. The proposed prefetching method improved the response time by about 40% compared to the general file system and showed remarkable memory efficiency compared to the previously knowledge-based prefetching methods.

Due to the implementation ease and alleviation of memory bottleneck effect, NUMA architecture has dominated in the multiprocessor systems for the past several years. However, because the NUMA system distributes memory in each node, frequent remote memory access is a key factor of performance degradation. Therefore, efficient design of RAC(Remote Access Cache) in NUMA system is critical for performance improvement. In this paper, we suggest Multi-Grain RAC which can adaptively control the RAC line size, with respect to each application behavior Then we simulate NUMA system with multi-grain RAC using MINT, event-driven memory hierarchy simulator. and analyze the performance results. At first, with profile-based determination method, we verify the optimal RAC line size for each application and, then, we compare and analyze the performance differences among NUMA systems with normal RAC, with optimal line size RAC, and with multi-grain RAC. The simulation shows that the worst case can be always avoided and results are very close to optimal case with any combination of application and RAC format.

Even though the performance of microprocessor is improved continuously, the performance improvement of computing system becomes hard to increase, in order to some drawbacks including increased power consumption. To solve the problem, general-purpose computing on graphics processing units(GPGPUs), which execute general-purpose applications by using specialized parallel-processing device representing graphics processing units(GPUs), have been focused. However, the characteristics of applications related with graphics is substantially different from the characteristics of general-purpose applications. Therefore, GPUs cannot exploit the outstanding computational resources sufficiently due to various constraints, when they execute general-purpose applications. When designing GPUs for GPGPU, memory system is important to effectively exploit the GPUs since typically general-purpose applications requires more memory accesses than graphics applications. Especially, external memory access requiring long latency impose a big overhead on the performance of GPUs. Therefore, the GPU performance must be improved if hierarchical memory architecture which can reduce the number of external memory access is applied. For this reason, we will investigate the analysis of GPU performance according to hierarchical cache architectures in executing various benchmarks.

The field-surveyed and measured energy consumption data is processed to develop building energy demand models for heating, hot water, cooling, and electricity. The load models are systematically organized as a database and hourly loads for a span of year (8760 hours) are generated by the program. Rased on those models a Microsoft Access application program is developed to calculate energy demands for a Community Energy System (CES) composed of 17 types of buildings. User-friendly interfaces are provided to assist non-expert end users and necessary tools to link the calculation results to subsequent coagulations such as operation simulation or economic assessment.
