There are technological, operational and environmental constraints at tactical edge, which are disconnected operation, intermittent connectivity, and limited bandwidth (DIL), size, weight and power (SWaP) limitations, ad-hoc and mobile network, and so on. To overcome these limitations and constraints, we use service-oriented architecture (SOA) based technologies. Moreover, the operation environment is highly dynamic: requirements change in response to the emerging situation, and the availability of resources needs to be updated constantly due to the factors such as technical failures. In order to use appropriate resources at the right time according to the mission, it needs to find the best resources. In this context, we identify ontology-based mission service model including mission, task, service, and resource, and develop capability-based matching in tactical edge environment. The goal of this paper is to propose a capability-based semantic matching for dynamic resource allocation. The contributions of this paper are i) military domain ontologies ii) semantic matching using ontology relationship; and (iii) the capability-based matching for the mission service model.

This paper proposes a novel approach to interference avoidance via inter-cell relaying in cellular OFDMA-TDD (orthogonal frequency division multiple access - time division duplex) systems. The proposed scheme, termed asymmetry balancing, is targeted towards next-generation cellular wireless systems which are envisaged to have ad hoc and multi-hop capabilities. Asymmetry balancing resolves the detrimental base station (BS)-to-BS interference problem inherent to TDD networks by synchronizing the TDD switching points (SPs) across cells. In order to maintain the flexibility of TDD in serving the asymmetry demands of individual cells, inter-cell relaying is employed. Mobile stations (MSs) in a cell which has a shortage of uplink (UL) resources and spare downlink (DL) resources use free DL resources to off-load UL traffic to cooperating MSs in a neighboring cell using ad hoc communication. In an analogous fashion DL traffic can be balanced. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the asymmetry balancing concept by considering a seven-cell cluster and a single overloaded cell in the center. A mathematical model is developed to quantify the envisaged gains in using asymmetry balancing and is verified via Monte Carlo simulations. It is demonstrated that asymmetry balancing offers great flexibility in UL-DL resource allocation. In addition, results show that a spectral efficiency improvement of more than 100% can be obtained with respect to a case where the TDD SPs are adapted to the cell-specific demands.

기후변화로 인한 수문학적 변동은 지속가능한 수자원 관리를 위해 중요한 인자로 고려되고 있다. 특히, 가뭄 등 기상재해는 자연재해 차원을 넘어서 사회적 갈등으로 발전할 여지가 크며 특히 수자원 배분은 환경, 경제를 뛰어넘은 생존의 문제로 발전하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 기후변화가 가져올 가뭄 등 재해관리를 위한 의사지원체계 구축하고 다양한 기후변화 시나리오에 대응할 수 있는 탄력성 있는 수자원전문가시스템의 개발을 통해 이상기후 및 가뭄대비 물분쟁에 대한 합리적 대안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 섬진댐의 상황을 모델로 하고 있다. 섬진강 유역은 섬진강댐의 건설당시 발 빠른 이주대책의 불이행으로 수몰지역 내에 초기 정착민들이 계속 거주하게 되어 댐 제원을 충분히 활용하지 못하고 있어 효과적인 치수사업에 어려움을 겪어오다가 공사간의 협력을 통해 치수능력증대사업을 추진하여 저수지의 저류량을 증가시키고자 섬진강댐 재개발 사업을 추진한 지역이다. 하지만, 유역내의 이상기후로 인한 수문학적인 변동과 가뭄으로 인한 물관련 당사자간의 용수확보분쟁의 소지가 있어 물관리를 위한 수자원전문가시스템의 개발이 시급한 실정인 지역이기도 하다. 대상지역 수자원전문가시스템의 개발을 목표로 HSPF(Hydrologic Simulation Program with FORTRAN)을 이용하여 기후변화로 인한 수문학적 변동성을 파악하였다. 그리고 수자원 전문가 모델로서 외국에서 사용되고 있는 SUPER, HEC-ResSim, RiverWare, MODSIM, WRAP, PowerSim, 그리고 STELLA의 장 단점 등 특성을 분석하여 국내에 적합한 수자원전문가시스템 갖추어야할 기능 및 구성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 국내실정에 필요한 모델은 공영시각모형(Shared Vision Model)으로서 그 장점은 첫째, 수자원의 관리나 물분쟁시 반드시 필요한 유역의 물리적인 인자와 수역관리에 필요한 수문인자, 그리고 물분쟁의 소지가 있는 의문사항이나 문제점의 해결책을 위한 실마리를 제공할수 있다. 둘째, 물관련 이해당사자들이 직접 참여하여 모형을 평가하고 서로간의 이해관계를 위한 충돌이 발생했을 때 문제해결을 위한 대안을 제시할 수 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 셋째, 물배분의 원칙에 따른 한쪽으로 편중된 대안이 제시되었을 경우에 공동으로 대안에 대한 평가를 통하여 평등한 물배분을 가능하게 한다. 넷째, 시민단체나 환경단체, 그리고 기관책임자들이 공동으로 모형의 형성과정을 지켜본 후 논의할 수 있어 이상적인 모형을 만들 수 있는 장점이 있다.

It is aware that Bandwidth management with dramatically increasing traffic on account of frequent and large file transmission in a data grid environment is one of essential needs. A this paper we propose new method which guarantees QoS (Quality of Service) by being in control of resources in TCP layer based on existing studies that manage bandwidth over TCP buffer tuning. General QoS solutions manage network resources subsequent to observing them in IP or link layer, but the scheme in the paper is able to control network resources in TCP layer that is network upper layer. Consequently, bandwidth allocation to each user can be efficiently controlled depending on an authority each user is given so that users could be use different bandwidth. It is expected that a new paradigm is supposed in network resource management and the method of levies for users' bandwidth uses.

Device-to-Device communication(D2D) enables devices in proximity to communicate directly without going through the network infrastructure. In particular, D2D communications in a cellular network can improve the spectral efficiency by allowing the reuse of cellular resources. However, it is not easy to maintain the channel quality of the D2D links and to protect the cellular links from the D2D interferences, since the resource allocations for the cellular users will change with time due to the time-varying nature of the cellular channels. To mitigate the performance degradation of D2D links, we propose to exploit unlicensed bands as auxiliary resources when the D2D links share the uplink cellular resources. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through simulations.

This paper deals with grid job allocation and grid resource scheduling to provide a stable and quicker job processing service to grid users. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model for an effective job scheduling in computational grid environment. The fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model measures resource efficiency of all grid resources by a fuzzy logic system based on diverse input parameters like CPU speed and network latency and divides resources into several groups by resource efficiency. And, the model allocates jobs to resources of a group with the highest resource efficiency. For performance evaluation, we implemented the fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model on the DEVS modeling and simulation environment and measured reduction rates of turnaround time, job loss, and communication messages in comparison with existing job scheduling models such as the random scheduling model and the MCT(Minimum Completion time) model. Experiment results that the proposed model is useful to improve the QoS of the grid job processing service.

This paper investigates whether intra-household bargaining power affects couples' caregiving decisions during instances of competing parental demands for assistance. The primary focus is on examining how partners' bargaining power influences the relative allocation of time resources between parents and parents-in-law, assuming that children prefer to transfer caregiving resources toward their own parents over their parents-in-law. The findings in this study reject the bargaining theory that couple's parental care behavior results from a bargaining process between the husband and the wife. More specifically, the results did not clearly show that children prefer to transfer caregiving resources toward their own parents over their parents-in-law. Decision-making power, measured by final decision-making authority, also failed to affect the relative care transfers.

The forest of the Huaphanh Province (HP) has continued to decrease at 0.6% (10,560 ha) per year from 1992 to 2010. In the past few decades, the government of Laos and the Huaphanh Provincial Authority have been trying to address the root causes of deforestation. This study attempts to examine the factors effecting the decrease of the forest cover in the HP by analyzing the influence of the local socio-economic development and implementation of forest management policies on changes in the forest cover. The social data of the province focused on population growth and distribution between urban and rural areas including the number of poor people and the economic growth of three sectors, namely agriculture and forestry, industry, and service, while the implementation of the state forest management policy focused on the state forest management plan, tree plantation, forest land use planning and allocation to households, and shifting cultivation including annual upland rice and maize cultivation. In addition, government reports on socio-economic and rural development including poverty eradication of other provinces, where an increase in the forest cover was observed, were also collected and analyzed using qualitative and comparative analysis. The results from this study indicate that the decrease in forest cover in the Huaphanh Province appears to depend on a very slow economic growth and reduction in rural poverty of the province. The increase in the rural population in the province led to an increase in farm households and are as for shifting cultivation. As a result, forests were cleared leading to a decrease in the forest cover.

Cloud service users request dedicated virtual computing resource from the cloud service provider to process jobs in independent environment from other users. To optimize this process with automated method, in this paper we proposed a framework for workflow scheduling in the cloud environment, in which the core component is the middleware called broker mediating the interaction between users and cloud service providers. To process jobs in on-demand and virtualized resources from cloud service providers, many papers propose scheduling algorithms that allocate jobs to virtual machines which are dedicated to one machine one job. With this method, the isolation of being processed jobs is guaranteed, but we can't use each resource to its fullest computing capacity with high efficiency in resource utilization. This paper therefore proposed a cost-efficient job scheduling algorithm which maximizes the utilization of managed resources with increasing the degree of multiprogramming to reduce the number of needed virtual machines; consequently we can save the cost for processing requests. We also consider the performance degradation in proposed scheme with thrashing and context switching. By evaluating the experimental results, we have shown that the proposed scheme has better cost-performance feature compared to an existing scheme.
