This paper focuses on a mobile edge-computing-enabled heterogeneous network. A battery level-aware task-scheduling framework is proposed to improve the energy efficiency and prolong the operating hours of battery-powered mobile devices. The formulated optimization problem is a typical mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem. To solve this nondeterministic polynomial (NP)-hard problem, a decomposition-based task-scheduling algorithm is proposed. Using an alternating optimization technology, the original problem is divided into three subproblems. In the outer loop, task offloading decisions are yielded using a pruning search algorithm for the task offloading subproblem. In the inner loop, closed-form solutions for computational resource allocation subproblems are derived using the Lagrangian multiplier method. Then, it is proven that the transmitted power-allocation subproblem is a unimodal problem; this subproblem is solved using a gradient-based bisection search algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves better energy efficiency than other frameworks. Additionally, the impact of the battery level-aware scheme on the operating hours of battery-powered mobile devices is also investigated.

Grid is a new Information Technology (IT) concept of "super Internet" for high-performance computing: worldwide collections of high-end resources such as supercomputers, storage, advanced instruments and immerse environments. The Grid is expected to bring together geographically and organizationally dispersed computational resources, such as CPUs, storage systems, communication systems, real-time data sources and instruments, and human collaborators. The term "the Grid" was coined in the mid1990s to denote a proposed distributed computing infrastructure for advanced science and engineering. The term computational Grids refers to infrastructures aimed at allowing users to access and/or aggregate potentially large numbers of powerful and sophisticated resources. More formally, Grids are defined as infrastructure allowing flexible, secure, and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources referred to as virtual Organizations. GRID is an emerging IT as a kind of next generation Internet technology which will fit very well with agrometeorological services in the future. I believe that it would contribute to the resource sharing in agrometeorology by providing super computing power, virtual storage, and efficient data exchanges, especially for developing countries that are suffering from the lack of resources for their agmet services at national level. Thus, the establishment of CAgM-GRID based on existing RADMINSII is proposed as a part of FWIS of WMO.part of FWIS of WMO.

Traditional supercomputing services suffer from limited accessibility and low utilization in that users(researchers) may perform computational executions only using terminal-based command line interfaces. To address this problem, in this paper, we provide the design and implementation details of National supercomputing service framework. The proposed framework supports all the fundamental primitive functions such as user management/authentication, heterogeneous computing resource management, HPC (High Performance Computing) job management, etc. so that it enables various 3rd-party applications to be newly built on top of the proposed framework. Our framework also provides Web-based RESTful OpenAPIs and the abstraction interfaces of job schedulers (as well as bundle scheduler plug-ins, for example, LoadLeveler, Open Grid Scheduler, TORQUE) in order to easily integrate the broad spectrum of heterogeneous computing clusters. To show and validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we describe the best practice scenario of high energy physics Lattice-QCD as an example application.

Currently, cloud computing technology is being supplied in various service forms and it is becoming a ground breaking service which provides usage of storage service, data and software while user is not involved in technical background such as physical location of service or system environment. cloud computing technology has advantages that it can use easily as many IT resources as it wants freely regardless of hardware issues required by a variety of systems and service level required by infrastructure. Also, since it has a strength that it can choose usage of resource about business model due to various internet-based technologies, provisioning technology and virtualization technology are being paid attention as main technologies. These technologies are ones of important technology elements which help web-based users approach freely and install according to user environment. Therefore, this thesis introduces software-related technologies and architectures in an aspect of grid for building up high availability cloud computing environment by analysis about cloud computing technology trend.

Grid computing is an application to obtain the most efficient performance from computing resources in terms of cost and convenience. It is also considered as a good method to solve a problem that cannot be settled by conventional computing technologies such as clustering or is requiring supercomputing capability due to its complex and long-running task. In order to run grid computing effectively, it needs to connect high-performance computing resources in real-time which are distributed geographically. Answering to the needs of this grid application, researchers in several universities with Argonne National Laboratory in the USA (ANL) as the main axis have developed Globus. It is noticed, however, that the quality of service (QoS) is not guaranteed when certain jobs are exchanged through networks in the context of Globus. To tackle with this problem, the ANL has invented Globus Architecture for Reservation and Allocation (GARA). The researchers of this paper constructed a testbed for evaluating the ability to reserve resource in the GARA system and implemented the GARA code for it. We analyzed the applied results and discussed future research plans.

Cloud computing emerges as a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering IT resources as a service anytime, anywhere on any devices. Cloud computing data center stores many IT resources through resource integration. So cloud computing system has to be designed by technology and policy to make effective use of IT resources. In other words, cloud vendor has to provide high quality services to all user and mitigate the dissipation of IT resources. However, vendors need to predict the performance of cloud services and the use of IT resources before releasing cloud service. For solving the problem, this research presents cloud service modeling on network environment and evaluation index for availability optimization of cloud service. We also study how to optimize an amount of requested cloud service and performance of datacenter using CloudSim toolkit.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) networks consisting of low-cost UAVs are very vulnerable to smart jammers that can choose their jamming policies based on the ongoing communication policies accordingly. In this article, we propose a novel cloud and edge-aided mobile communication scheme for low-cost UAV network against smart jamming. The challenge of this problem is to design a communication scheme that not only meets the requirements of defending against smart jamming attack, but also can be deployed on low-cost UAV platforms. In addition, related studies neglect the problem of decision-making algorithm failure caused by intermittent ground-to-air communication. In this scheme, we use the policy network deployed on the cloud and edge servers to generate an emergency policy tables, and regularly update the generated policy table to the UAVs to solve the decision-making problem when communications are interrupted. In the operation of this communication scheme, UAVs need to offload massive computing tasks to the cloud or the edge servers. In order to prevent these computing tasks from being offloaded to a single computing resource, we deployed a lightweight game algorithm to ensure that the three types of computing resources, namely local, edge and cloud, can maximize their effectiveness. The simulation results show that our communication scheme has only a small decrease in the SINR of UAVs network in the case of momentary communication interruption, and the SINR performance of our algorithm is higher than that of the original Q-learning algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an approach that combines the technological advantages of P2P and cloud computing to support MMOGs that allowing a huge amount of users worldwide to share a real-time virtual environment. The proposed P2P system based on cloud computing can provide a greater level of scalability because their more resources are added to the infrastructure even when the amount of users grows rapidly. This system also relieves a lot of computational power and network traffic, the load on the servers in the cloud by exploiting the capacity of the peers. In this paper, we describe the concept and basic architecture of cloud computing-based P2P Systems for scalability of MMOGs. An efficient and effective provisioning of resources and mapping of load are mandatory to realize this architecture that scales in economical cost and quality of service to large communities of users. Simulation results show that by controlling the amount of cloud and user-provided resource, the proposed P2P system can reduce the bandwidth at the server while utilizing their enough bandwidth when the number of simultaneous users keeps growing.
