This paper proposes the use of mobile ad-hoc cloud for reducing the process time of panoramic image generation in mobile smart devices. In order to effectively assign tasks relevant to panoramic image generation to the mobile ad-hoc cloud, a method for image acquisition and sorting and an algorithm for task distribution and offloading decision making are proposed. The proposed methods are applied to Android OS based smart devices, and their effects on panoramic image generation are analyzed.

According to the various IoT(Internet of Things) services, there have been lots of task offloading researches for IoT devices. Since there are service response delay and core network load issues in conventional cloud computing based offloadings, fog computing based offloading has been focused whose location is close to the IoT devices. However, even in the fog computing architecture, the load can be concentrated on the for computing node when the number of requests increase. To solve this problem, the opportunistic fog computing concept which offloads task to available computing resources such as cars and drones is introduced. In previous fog and opportunistic fog node researches, the offloading is performed immediately whenever the service request occurs. This means that the service requests can be offloaded to the opportunistic fog nodes only while they are available. However, if the service response delay requirement is satisfied, there is no need to offload the request immediately. In addition, the load can be distributed by making the best use of the opportunistic fog nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes a delayed offloading scheme to satisfy the response delay requirements and offload the request to the opportunistic fog nodes as efficiently as possible.

Mobile devices have been widespread and become very popular with connectivity to the Internet, and a lot of desktop PC applications are now aggressively ported to them. Unfortunately, mobile devices are often vulnerable to malicious attacks due to their common usage and connectivity to the Internet. Therefore, the demands on the development of mobile security systems increase in accordance with advances in mobile computing. However, it is very hard to run a security program on a mobile device all of the time due the device's limited computational power and battery life. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel mobile security scheme that migrates heavy computations on mobile devices to cloud servers. An efficient data transmission scheme for reducing data traffic between devices and servers over networks is introduced. We have evaluated the proposed scheme with a mobile device in a cloud environment, whereby it achieved a maximum speedup of 13.4 compared to a traditional algorithm.

IoT-Cloud 융합 가상 기계 시스템은 저성능의 사물인터넷 장비에서 고성능 클라우드 서버의 연산력을 제공받는 오프로딩 기법을 사용한다. 오프로딩 기법을 사용하는 경우 실행 대상 프로그램은 사물인터넷 장비와 클라우드 서버 사이에 일관성이 유지되어야하기 때문에 문맥 동기화가 필요하다. 기존 IoT-Cloud 융합 가상 기계의 문맥 동기화 방식은 전체 문맥 동기화를 시도하기 때문에 네트워크 오버헤드가 증가하여 비효율적이다. 네트워크 오버헤드는 오프로딩 실행 성능을 기존보다 감소시킬 수 있기 때문에 효율적인 오프로딩을 위해서는 오프로딩 실행에 필요한 문맥 정보만을 동기화하여 네트워크 오버헤드를 줄여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 오프로딩 실행을 위해 정적 프로파일링을 통해 추출된 문맥 정보를 기반으로 오프로딩 실행에 필요한 문맥 정보만을 동기화하는 문맥 동기화기를 설계 및 구현하였다. 오프로딩 실행에 필요한 문맥 정보만 동기화가 이뤄지면 문맥 동기화 시 발생하는 네트워크 오버헤드의 크기가 줄어들기 때문에 효율적인 오프로딩 실행이 가능하다.

Internet of things (IoT) has emerged as the most popular technique that facilitates enhancing humans' quality of life. However, most time sensitive IoT applications require quick response time. So, processing these IoT applications in cloud servers may not be effective. Therefore, fog computing has emerged as a promising solution that addresses the problem of managing large data bandwidth requirements of devices and quick response time. This technology has resulted in processing a large amount of data near the data source compared to the cloud. However, efficient management of computing resources involving balancing workload, allocating resources, provisioning resources, and scheduling tasks is one primary consideration for effective computing-based solutions, specifically for time-sensitive applications. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the source management strategies considering resource limitations, heterogeneity, unpredicted traffic in the fog computing environment. It presents recent developments in the resource management field of the fog computing environment. It also presents significant management issues such as resource allocation, resource provisioning, resource scheduling, task offloading, etc. Related studies are compared indifferent mentions to provide promising directions of future research by fellow researchers in the field.

In a dynamically changing time-varying network environment, the optimal moving pattern of edge devices can be applied to distributing computing resources to edge cloud servers or deploying new edge servers in the FEC(Fog/Edge Computing) environment. In addition, this can be used to build an environment capable of efficient computation offloading to alleviate latency problems, which are disadvantages of cloud computing. This paper proposes an algorithm to extract the optimal moving pattern by analyzing the moving path of multiple edge devices requiring application services in an arbitrary spatio-temporal environment based on frequency. A comparative experiment with A^* and Dijkstra algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm uses a relatively fast execution time and less memory, and extracts a more accurate optimal path. Furthermore, it was deduced from the comparison result with the A^* algorithm that applying weights (preference, congestion, etc.) simultaneously with frequency can increase path extraction accuracy.

As the use of mobile data increases, the proportion of video content is increasing steeply. In order to solve problems that arise when mobile users receive data from geographically remote cloud servers, methods of caching data in advance to edge servers geographically close to the users are attracting lots of attention. In this paper, we present a caching policy that stores data on Small Cell Base Station(SBS) to effectively provide content files to mobile users by applying a delayed offloading scheme in a cellular network. The goal of the proposed policy is to minimize the size of data transmitted from Macro Base Station(MBS) because the delayed offloading scheme requires more cost than when downloaded from MBS than from SBS. The caching policy is proposed to determine the size of content file and which content file to be cached to SBS using the probability of mobile users' paths and the popularity of content files, and to replace content files in consideration of the overlapping coverage of SBS. In addition, through performance evaluation, it has been proven that the proposed policy reduces the size of data downloaded from MBS compared to other algorithms.
