차세대 유전체 해독 기술과 자동화 기술이 발전하면서 DNA 서열 분석 환경이 개선되고 있지만, 아직까지 제한된 컴퓨팅 리소스는 분석시간 단축의 장애요인으로 작용하고 있다. 대부분의 과학 워크플로우 시스템은 수 많은 기능들이 특정 시스템 환경에 맞추어 구현되어 있기 때문에 복잡하고 유동적이지 못하며, 이로 인해 기존 시스템의 컴포넌트들을 클라우드 환경의 새로운 시스템에 적용하기 어려운 한계를 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대량의 DNA 데이터를 동시적으로 분석할 수 있는 가상 인스턴스 제공이 가능하며 시스템간의 상호 운용성을 개선시키기 위하여 웹 서비스, DBMS, 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기능을 지원하는 DNA 서열 분석용 미들웨어를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 지능형 미들웨어는 DBMS를 사용하여 파이프라인 정보를 관리하고, 클라우드 환경에서 경량의 가상 인스턴스를 제공하며, 상호운용성 개선을 위하여 단순 URI와 XML을 기반으로 한 RESTful 웹서비스 기능을 제공한다.

Each cloud service has numerous owners and tenants, so it is necessary to construct a privacy preserving identity management and access control mechanism for cloud computing. On one hand, cloud service providers (CSP) depend on tenant's identity information to enforce appropriate access control so that cloud resources are only accessed by the authorized tenants who are willing to pay. On the other hand, tenants wish to protect their personalized service access patterns, identity privacy information and accessing newfangled cloud services by on-demand ways within the scope of their permissions. There are many identity authentication and access control schemes to address these challenges to some degree, however, there are still some limitations. In this paper, we propose a new comprehensive approach, called Privacy pReserving Identity and Access Management scheme, referred to as PRIAM, which is able to satisfy all the desirable security requirements in cloud computing. The main contributions of the proposed PRIAM scheme are threefold. First, it leverages blind signature and hash chain to protect tenant's identity privacy and implement secure mutual authentication. Second, it employs the service-level agreements to provide flexible and on-demand access control for both tenants and cloud services. Third, it makes use of the BAN logic to formally verify the correctness of the proposed protocols. As a result, our proposed PRIAM scheme is suitable to cloud computing thanks to its simplicity, correctness, low overhead, and efficiency.

Database-as-a-Service is one of the prime services provided by Cloud Computing. It provides data storage and management services to individuals, enterprises and organizations on pay and uses basis. In which any enterprise or organization can outsource its databases to the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and query the data whenever and wherever required through any devices connected to the internet. The advantage of this service is that enterprises or organizations can reduce the cost of establishing and maintaining infrastructure locally. However, there exist some database security, privacychallenges and query performance issues to access data, to overcome these issues, in our recent research, developed a database security model using a deterministic encryption scheme, which improved query execution performance and database security level.As this model is implemented using a deterministic encryption scheme, it may suffer from chosen plain text attack, to overcome this issue. In this paper, we proposed a new model for cloud database security using nondeterministic encryption, order preserving encryption, homomorphic encryptionand database distribution schemes, andour proposed model supports execution of queries with equality check, range condition and aggregate operations on encrypted cloud database without decryption. This model is more secure with optimal query execution performance.

A cloud computing system can be characterized by the provision of resources in the form of services to third parties on a leased, usage-based basis, as well as the private infrastructures maintained and utilized by individual organizations. To attain the desired reliability and energy efficiency in a cloud data center, trade-offs need to be carried out between system performance and power consumption. Resolving these conflicting goals is often the major challenge encountered in the design of optimization strategies for cloud data centers. The work presented in this paper is directed towards the development of an Energy-efficient and Performance-aware Cloud System equipped with strategies for dynamic switching of optimization approach. Moreover, a platform is also provided for the deployment of a Wind Farm CMS (Condition Monitoring System) which allows ubiquitous access. Due to the geographically-dispersed nature of wind farms, the CMS can take advantage of the cloud's highly scalable architecture in order to keep a reliable and efficient operation capable of handling multiple simultaneous users and huge amount of monitoring data. Using the proposed cloud architecture, a Wind Farm CMS is deployed in a virtual platform to monitor and evaluate the aging conditions of the turbine's major components in concurrent, yet isolated working environments.

Cloud computing is a new service to provide dynamic, scalable virtual resource services via the Internet. Cloud market is available to multiple cloud computing resource providers and users communicate with each other and participate in market transactions. However, since cloud computing is facing with more and more security issues, how to complete the allocation process effectively and securely become a problem urgently to be solved. In this paper, we firstly analyze the cloud resource allocation problem and propose a mathematic model based on combinatorial double auction. Secondly, we introduce a trust evaluation mechanism into our model and combine genetic algorithm with simulated annealing algorithm to increase the efficiency and security of cloud service. Finally, by doing the overall simulation, we prove that our model is highly effective in the allocation of cloud resources.

Pervasive computing is characterized by a key characteristic that affects the operating environment of services and users. It places more emphasis on dynamic environments where available resources continuously vary without prior knowledge of their availability, while in static environments the services provided to users are determined in advance. At the same time, Cloud computing paradigm introduced flexibility of use according to the user's profile and needs. In this paper, we aimed to provide Context-Aware Transactional Service applications with solutions so that it can be integrated and invoked like any service in the digital ecosystem. Being able to compose is not enough, each service and application must be able to offer a well-defined behavior. This behavior must be controlled to meet the dynamicity and adaptability necessary for the new user's requirements. The motivation in this paper is to offer design patterns that will provide a maximum of automatism in order to guarantee short reaction times and minimal human intervention. Our proposal includes a cloud service model by developing a PaaS service that allows CATS adaptation. A new specification for the validation of CATS model has been also introduced using the ACTA formalism.

Recently, the personal cloud computing service has been being spotlighted as an individual tool of productivity enhancement. However, compared to the rosy forecast, its diffusion rate in the domestic (Korean) market is much slower than expected. In order to find the reason for the slow growth of personal cloud computing service, we attempt to identify influencing factors on user's adoption resistance, while most prior research has focused on the factors affecting its adoption. Based on both the person-technology fit model and the privacy calculus model, we propose technostress and perceived value as key antecedents of adoption resistance. In addition, we identify (1) technical (pace of change and complexity) and personal (self-efficacy) influencing factors on technostress, and (2) beneficial (perceived mobility and perceived availability) and harmful (perceived vulnerability) influencing factors on perceived value. To validate our research model, 133 individual samples were gathered from undergraduate and graduate students who had actual experience of using at least one of personal cloud computing services. The results of the structural equation modeling confirm that both technostress and perceived value have significant effects on adoption resistance, but they have different influencing mechanisms to different types of adoption resistance (indifference, postponement, and rejection). Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed in the conclusion.

제한된 모바일 디바이스의 자원을 해결하기 위해, 클라우드에 있는 서비스 또는 자원을 활용하는 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅(Mobile Cloud Computing, MCC) 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. MCC에서는 주로 기능 컴포넌트를 다른 노드로 오프로딩 (Offloading) 시킴으로써, 모바일 노드의 자원 문제를 해결하는 접근법을 주로 사용한다. 그러나, 현재 진행되고 있는 MCC에 대한 연구는 사전에 결정된 노드로 오프로딩 시키는 기법들이 주로 진행되고 있으며, 개념적인 수준에서 기법이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 복잡도가 높은 모바일 애플리케이션의 성능을 보장하기 위한 4가지 종류의 오프로딩 기법을 제안한다. 제시된 기법은 구현이 가능하도록 실용적인 수준으로 설계되며, 비용 모델을 제시하여 오프로딩을 통한 성능향상이 있음을 정량적으로 증명한다.
