Quality of Service (QoS) Guarantees grant ways for service providers to establish service differentiation among subscribers. On the other hand, service subscribers are also assured the level of service they paid for. In addition, the efficient level of service quality can be selected according to the subscribers' needs thus ensuring efficient use of available bandwidth. While network utility optimization techniques assure certain QoS metrics, a number of situations exist where some QoS goals are not met. The optimality of the network parameters is not mandatory to guarantee specified QoS levels. This paper proposes a joint data rate and power control scheme that guarantees service contract QoS level to a subscriber using Goal Programming. In using goal programming, this paper focuses on finding the range of feasible solutions as opposed to solving for the optimal. In addition, in case no feasible solution is found, an acceptable compromised solution is solved.

To support Quality of Service (QoS) in the existing Internet, Differentiated Service (Diff-Serv) has been proposed. But, the unfairness between TCP connections remains as a serious problem not only in the conventional best-effort service Internet but also in new Diff-Serv network. In this paper, we propose the Balancing Marker Algorithm (BMA) improving the fairness between individual connections of aggregated sources in a Diff-Serv network. This algorithm is based on the 3-level priority marking method. We compared the 2-level packet priority marker with the Balancing Marker proposed in this paper. And we showed that the BMA improved the fairness and the throughputs between the individual connections with different delays in an aggregated source.

In this paper, we study the network structure that can guarantee the end-to-end quality of service in the Explicit multicast network. In order to guarantee the end-to-end quality of service, we adopt the end-to-end measurement based admission control (EMBAC) scheme. For the effective measurement of the network state and minimum influence on the current data traffic, the queue structure, which the drop precedence in assured forwarding (AF) Per hop behavior (PHB) of the differentiated service (Diffserv) is applied to, is proposed. Through a simulation, we show that EMBAC can make tile controlled load service in tile AF PHB applied Xcast network, and the qualify of the admitted traffic is guaranteed. In addition, the performance of the EMBAC is changing according to the selling parameter of AF PHB.

In this study, we tried to evaluate the relative importance and find out the differences in consumer perceptions regarding service recovery strategies and the service provider in the distribution industry by using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis method. Therefore in this study, we tried to systematize various recovery strategies which were considered very important during service failure process in the distribution industry and analyze the relative importance for each recovery strategy. We set hierarchy composed of four items of monetary, action-oriented, psychological, and assured level as primary selection criteria and a total of 16 items(indemnity, refund, gift, gift certificate, prompt resolution, exchange, manager support, explanation, apology, empathy, acknowledge, kindness, assortment, after service, manage subcontractor, manage employee) as secondary selection criteria. We tried to take one step further from the service sector and study service recovery strategies specialized in distributor services. This study suggests various implications about service recovery strategies of distributors. First, this study can provide practical implications - e.g. service recovery efforts should be applied differently depending on service channels. There is a perceptual difference with respect to the importance of the types of service recovery strategies between service provider and final customer. Second, we can find theoretical implications in terms of identifying the priorities through hierarchy design of new recovery strategies and comparison of each element from the classifications of the current fractional recovery strategies. We hope to help service providers to build more efficient recovery strategy system based on the results of this study.

본 논문에서는 차별화 서비스의 AS(Assured Service)의 문제점으로 지적되는 플로우 사이의 공평성 향상을 위한 개선된 버퍼 관리 방식과 미터를 제안하였다. 코어 라우터 (core router)를 위해 제안된 버퍼 관리 방식은 카운터를 이용하여 패킷 폐기 사이의 거리를 일정하게 유지시켜 TCP 플로우의 급격한 성능 저하와 global synchronization 문제를 해결하였다. 그리고, 경계 라우터 (edge router)를 위해 제안된 미터는 기본적으로 TSW(Time Sliding Window) 알고리즘을 고려하여, 공평성 향상을 위해 비례적 마킹과 가변적 윈도우의 개념을 도입하였다. 제안된 방식들은 기존 방식들에 비해 복잡한 연산이 필요하지 않으며. TCP 프로토콜의 변경 없이 공평성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방식이다. 그리고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존의 RIO(RED with IN and OUT), TSW 방식과 제안한 방식 간의 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 버퍼 관리 방식과 미터는 송신측의 목표 전송률과 근접한 수율을 제공하며, 플로우들 사이에 공평한 대역 사용을 제공하여 기존 방식보다 우수한 성능을 제공함을 보였다.

Today, QoS is one of the most critical issues in the network research area and Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is considered as the most prominent solution to provide some kinds of service differentiation without introducing any scalability problem. Among DiffServ's approaches, Assured Service (AS) provides some minimal level of QoS guarantee by treating more preferably than traditional Best Effort (BE) traffic and by using different level of drop probabilities within the same AS classes. In this paper, we investigate the ECN's capability of improving overall goodput of the flows and the possibility of resolving the fairness problem among the flows belonging to same class in Differentiated Services architecture.

본논문에서는 차별화 서비스망에서 TCP 플로우의 처리율을 보장하는 문제를 연구하였다. 확신 서비스는 망의 혼잡 시에도 약속한 대역폭을 보장하기 위하여 패킷패기율을 차별화하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 토큰 버퍼 표시자는 TCP의 혼잡제어과 잘 동작하지 않아 적절한 성능을 보이지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 토큰 버퍼와 함께 데이터 버퍼를 사용하는 표시자를 제안하였다. 데이터 버퍼를 사용하는 표시자는 TCP 트래픽을 평활화하는 효과가 있어 확신 서비스 메커니즘과잘 동작한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 데이터 버퍼를 사용하는 표시자가 토큰 버퍼만을 사용하는 표시자에 비해 목표 대역폭에 보다 근접한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 최적 데이터 버퍼 크기는 예약 대역폭과 RTT에 비례하는 것을 관찰하였다.

본 논문에서 제안한 사이클링 패킷 폐기 메커니즘은 사이클 사이의 트래픽 변화를 예측하여 패킷 폐기를 적응적으로 처리할 수 있다. 따라서 제안된 메커니즘은 RIO 메커니즘의 단순 폐기율 적용에 대한 단점을 보완하고, 동적 엄격 패킷 폐기 메커니즘의 예측 가능한 오류율을 최소화하였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행하여, 망 트래픽의 상태에 따라 동적으로 변하는 전송가능 폐기순위에 따른 처리율과 패킷 폐기율을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션을 분석한 결과 제안된 메커니즘은 트래픽의 양에 상관없이 각 AF 클래스의 폐기순위를 엄격하게 적용하고 폐기순위에 따른 패킷 전송능력이 개선하였음을 증명하였다.

We propose ID-exchange protocol for Connectionless Location-Awareness Service (CLAS) to locate mobile nodes in indoor sensor network. When adapting location-awareness service to sensor network, the target system must be designed in accordance with various metrics which reflect the system requirement. We especially consider sustainability of the existing service which has been provided for its original purpose, such as environmental monitoring. The detailed meaning of sustainability here is that, even if location-awareness service is newly added to the existing service, the system must be assured to retain a stable network condition, and to deal with newly caused traffic properly. The CLAS ID-exchange protocol is especially designed for fixture and mobile nodes communication to achieve these properties. The protocol operates on 802.15.4 MAC layer to make mobile node work independently of the procedure to build routing table of fixture node, so a stable routing condition can be achieved even if there are many mobile nodes. Moreover, the dedicated frequency channel is assigned only for this protocol, so that traffic caused by location-awareness service can be distributed to another channel. A real system adapting the protocol was implemented to monitor fire and authorities' positions. We verified the overhead and elapsed time for location-awareness. The result shows the proposed protocol has a high performance in detecting speed, traffic distribution, and stability of overall network.

Cloud computing evolve as a cost effective business model for IT companies to focus on their core business without perturbing on infrastructure related issues. Hence, major IT firms and Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) are adopting cloud services on rental basis from cloud providers. Cloud Service level agreements (SLA) act as a key liaison between consumers and providers on renting Anything as a Service (AaaS). Design of such an agreement must aim for greater profit to providers as well as assured availability of services to consumers. However in reality, cloud SLA is not satisfying the parties involved because of its inherent complex nature and issues. Also currently most of the agreements are unilateral to favour the provider. This study focuses on comprehensive, 360-degree survey on different aspects of the cloud service agreements. We detailed the life cycle of SLA based on negotiation, different types of SLA, current standards, languages & characteristics, metrics and issues involved in it. This study will help the cloud actors to understand and evaluate the agreements and to make firm decision on negotiation. The need for standardized, bilateral, semantic SLA has also been proposed.
