  • 미래인터넷 연구를 위해 대규모의 테스트 베드를 구축하는 일은 새로운 프로토콜을 테스트하고 clean-slate 기법을 적용한 새로운 네트워크 아키텍쳐를 테스트하기 위해 꼭 필요하다. 우리나라의 경우 현재 'FIRST'(Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed)라는 프로젝트 이름으로 미래인터넷 테스트 베드를 구축하는 연구가 금년 3월부터 추진되어 ETRI와 5개의 대학들이 공동으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 이 중 5개 대학교를 중심으로 진행되는 FIRST@PC의 경우 NetFPGA의 하드웨어 가속 기능을 이용하여 오픈플로우 스위치기반의 미래인터넷 테스트베드를 KOREN과 KRONET에 구현하는 것을 목표로 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 FIRST@PC 프로젝트에 대한 간략한 소개와 지역별로 구축된 오픈플로우 스위치 테스트베드 간 연동을 위해 구현된 소프트웨어 기반의 MAC in IP 갭슐레이터를 설명하고 이를 이용한 연구실 내의 로컬 테스트와 충남대와 광주과학기술원 간 연동 테스트한 결과를 제시한다. 실험 결과 소프트웨어 기반의 캡슐레이터를 사용하면 현재 많은 어플리케이션이 요구하는 대역폭에 대해서는 지원 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

  • 데스크탑 그리드는 컴퓨팅 집약적인 분산 어플리케이션을 수행하는데 있어서 유망한 플랫폼으로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 비 신뢰적이고 예측할 수 없는 자원의 특성 때문에 데스크탑 그리드에서 병렬 어플리케이션의 효율적인 스케줄링은 어려운 문제로 알려져 있다. 이에 따라서 빈약한 스케줄링 능력과 함께 현재 데스크탑 그리드는 고 처리 어플리케이션(high throughput application)의 실행에는 적합하지만 빠른 반환 시간을 요구하는 어플리케이션의 실행을 지원하는데 있어서 어려움을 갖는다. 빠른 반환 시간을 요구하는 어플리케이션의 효율적인 실행은 어플리케이션의 전체 실행 시간(makespan)을 축소함으로써 해결할 수 있는 문제로써 데스크탑 그리드가 이를 지원할 수 있게 하는 것은 매력적인 제안이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 데스크탑 그리드에서 효율적인 어플리케이션의 실행을 지원하기 위한 새로운 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다. 7주간의 시간동안 40대의 데스크탑에서 추출된 추적(trace) 데이타의 분석을 통해서 데스크탑 사용 경향성과 비 신뢰적인 데스크탑의 영향이 스케줄링의 성능을 개선하는데 있어서 활용 될 수 있음을 확인하였고 이 요소들을 고려함으로써 데스크탑 그리드의 비 신뢰적이고 예측할 수 없는 자원의 특성을 스케줄링에 적절하게 반영 할 수 있는 스케줄링 기법이 제안되었다. 제안된 스케줄링 기법은 실제 데스크탑들의 행동 패턴을 반영한 추적 기반 시뮬레이션(trace-driven simulation)을 통해서 기존의 스케줄링 방법들과 스케줄링 성능이 비교되었고 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 제안된 스케줄링 기법이 기존의 데스크탑 스케줄링 기법들에 비해서 병렬 어플리케이션의 전체 실행 시간을 축소하고 중지(suspension)와 장애(failure)의 발생 빈도를 줄이는 것을 보여준다.

  • The supply chain management (SCM) systems have emerged as strong managerial tools for manufacturing firms in enhancing competitive strength. Despite of large investments in the SCM systems, many companies are not fully realizing the promised benefits from the systems. A review of literature on adoption, implementation and success factor of IOS (inter-organization systems), EDI (electronic data interchange) systems, shows that this issue has been examined from multiple theoretic perspectives. And many researchers have attempted to identify the factors which influence the success of system implementation. However, the existing studies have two drawbacks in revealing the determinants of systems implementation success. First, previous researches raise questions as to the appropriateness of research subjects selected. Most SCM systems are operating in the form of private industrial networks, where the participants of the systems consist of two distinct groups: focus companies and vendors. The focus companies are the primary actors in developing and operating the systems, while vendors are passive participants which are connected to the system in order to supply raw materials and parts to the focus companies. Under the circumstance, there are three ways in selecting the research subjects; focus companies only, vendors only, or two parties grouped together. It is hard to find researches that use the focus companies exclusively as the subjects probably due to the insufficient sample size for statistic analysis. Most researches have been conducted using the data collected from both groups. We argue that the SCM success factors cannot be correctly indentified in this case. The focus companies and the vendors are in different positions in many areas regarding the system implementation: firm size, managerial resources, bargaining power, organizational maturity, and etc. There are no obvious reasons to believe that the success factors of the two groups are identical. Grouping the two groups also raises questions on measuring the system success. The benefits from utilizing the systems may not be commonly distributed to the two groups. One group's benefits might be realized at the expenses of the other group considering the situation where vendors participating in SCM systems are under continuous pressures from the focus companies with respect to prices, quality, and delivery time. Therefore, by combining the system outcomes of both groups we cannot measure the system benefits obtained by each group correctly. Second, the measures of system success adopted in the previous researches have shortcoming in measuring the SCM success. User satisfaction, system utilization, and user attitudes toward the systems are most commonly used success measures in the existing studies. These measures have been developed as proxy variables in the studies of decision support systems (DSS) where the contribution of the systems to the organization performance is very difficult to measure. Unlike the DSS, the SCM systems have more specific goals, such as cost saving, inventory reduction, quality improvement, rapid time, and higher customer service. We maintain that more specific measures can be developed instead of proxy variables in order to measure the system benefits correctly. The purpose of this study is to find the determinants of SCM systems success in the perspective of vendor companies. In developing the research model, we have focused on selecting the success factors appropriate for the vendors through reviewing past researches and on developing more accurate success measures. The variables can be classified into following: technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the basis of TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The model consists of three independent variables (competition intensity, top management support, and information system maturity), one mediating variable (collaboration), one moderating variable (government support), and a dependent variable (system success). The systems success measures have been developed to reflect the operational benefits of the SCM systems; improvement in planning and analysis capabilities, faster throughput, cost reduction, task integration, and improved product and customer service. The model has been validated using the survey data collected from 122 vendors participating in the SCM systems in Korea. To test for mediation, one should estimate the hierarchical regression analysis on the collaboration. And moderating effect analysis should estimate the moderated multiple regression, examines the effect of the government support. The result shows that information system maturity and top management support are the most important determinants of SCM system success. Supply chain technologies that standardize data formats and enhance information sharing may be adopted by supply chain leader organization because of the influence of focal company in the private industrial networks in order to streamline transactions and improve inter-organization communication. Specially, the need to develop and sustain an information system maturity will provide the focus and purpose to successfully overcome information system obstacles and resistance to innovation diffusion within the supply chain network organization. The support of top management will help focus efforts toward the realization of inter-organizational benefits and lend credibility to functional managers responsible for its implementation. The active involvement, vision, and direction of high level executives provide the impetus needed to sustain the implementation of SCM. The quality of collaboration relationships also is positively related to outcome variable. Collaboration variable is found to have a mediation effect between on influencing factors and implementation success. Higher levels of inter-organizational collaboration behaviors such as shared planning and flexibility in coordinating activities were found to be strongly linked to the vendors trust in the supply chain network. Government support moderates the effect of the IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support on collaboration and implementation success of SCM. In general, the vendor companies face substantially greater risks in SCM implementation than the larger companies do because of severe constraints on financial and human resources and limited education on SCM systems. Besides resources, Vendors generally lack computer experience and do not have sufficient internal SCM expertise. For these reasons, government supports may establish requirements for firms doing business with the government or provide incentives to adopt, implementation SCM or practices. Government support provides significant improvements in implementation success of SCM when IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support and collaboration are low. The environmental characteristic of competition intensity has no direct effect on vendor perspective of SCM system success. But, vendors facing above average competition intensity will have a greater need for changing technology. This suggests that companies trying to implement SCM systems should set up compatible supply chain networks and a high-quality collaboration relationship for implementation and performance.
