Monte-Carlo simulation technique is often used in order to predict service life of concrete structure subjected to chloride penetration in marine environment based on probability theory. Monte-Carlo simulation method, however, the method gives different results every time that the simulation is run. On the other hand, moment method, which is frequently used in reliability analysis, needs negligible computational cost compared with simulation technique and gives a constant result for the same problem. Thus, in this study, moment method was applied to the calculation of corrosion-initiation probability. For this purpose, computer programs to calculate failure probabilities are developed using first-order second moment (FOSM) and second-order second moment (SOSM) methods, respectively. From the analysis examples with the developed programs, SOSM was found to give a more accurate result than FOSM does. The sensitivity analysis has shown that the factor affecting the corrosion-initiation probability the most was the cover depth, and the corrosion-initiation probability was influenced more by its coefficient of variation than its mean value.

This paper studies the Internet stream server which serves multimedia stream services such as VoD and MoD. The Internet multimedia stream server is developed to provide 50 users with continuous multimedia stream contents simultaneously. This paper focuses on introducing design concepts, operation details and on evaluating system performance and doing sensitivity analysis with respect to the change of the system components. The performance evaluation is performed using simulation in order to identify the system component that mostly affects the system performance. The sensitivity analysis shows the service delay rates of the multimedia stream server depending on the user's service request pattern. Also, the analysis is made on the utilization rates of the core system components such as the PCI bus and the Ethernet card, and on the system performance change by adding more system components.

Electric vehicle car sharing (EV-sharing) system is noted as an eco-friendly system of transportation in global warming crisis and has been practically implemented in some cities around the world. However, methodologies to find the efficient operation conditions of EV-sharing systems reflecting a typical characteristic 'charging' have not been fully investigated yet. In the paper a generalized model has been developed to identify optimal level of infrastructure for EV-sharing system which provides the optimum operation efficiency under service level constraints. From the simulation analysis based on the developed model the relationships between the operational variables to describe EV-sharing system have been identified and optimal capacity to maximize the operational efficiency have been found. From the analysis of simulation results it has been found that increases in the number of vehicles and chargers improve the service level until certain value beyond which increasing rate and the efficiency have been reduced. From the cost-revenue analysis the optimal numbers of vehicles and chargers have been identified which maximizes the annual operational profit.

In recent years, service delivery systems employing a self-service approach have been rapidly spreading. Since a self-service system provides a lower product price, it attracts more customers. However, some system managers are still hesitant to accept a self-service system, because there is no systematic model to predict its performance. Therefore, this research attempts to provide a systematic and quantitative model to predict the performance of a self-service system, focused specifically on a self-service gas station. Under this model, the traditional queuing theory was adopted to describe the general self-service process, but it is also assumed that some changes occur in both the customer arrival rate and the service performance rate. In particular, the price elasticity was introduced to capture the change in the customer arrival rate, and the existence of learning effect and helpers were assumed to design the changed service performance rate. Under these assumptions, a simulation model for a self-service gas station is established, and three performance measurements, such as average number of customers, average waiting time, and Utilization are observed, depending on the changes in price difference and helper-operating time. In this research, the optimal operation strategy for price differentiation and helper-operating time is proposed in accordance with the level of the customer learning rate. Although this research confines the scope of the study to the self-service gas station model, the results of this research can be applied to any type of self-service system.

Korea has made a plan to allocate CH 14~CH 51 (470 MHz~698 MHz) for DTV transition. Therefore, It is a necessary to take account compatibility between DTV service and other potential services. This paper assumes that DTV service operates on CH 51(692 MHz~698 MHz) and IMT service operates on CH 52(698 MHz~704 MHz), and then analyzes compatibility between DTV service and IMT service with Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool(SEAMCAT). The interference probability from IMT service to DTV service and capacity loss of IMT service due to interference from DTV service is studied, respectively. For the simulation, four interference cases in four different scenarios are considered. With considering the depolarization factor, a guard band of 8 MHz is required in the case of between IMT service downlink(DL) and DTV service, in the case of between IMT service uplink(UL) and DTV service, a guard band of 6 MHz is needed for the worst case of urban scenario on consideration of more then 15 dB increase of IMT system base station(BS) receiver blocking level.

The need for network security is being increasing due to the development of information communication and internet technology. In this paper, firewall models, operating system models and other network component models are constructed. Each model is defined by basic or compound model, referencing DEVS formalism. These models and the simulation environment are implemented with MODSIM III, a general purpose, modular, block-structured high-level programming language which provides direct support for object-oriented programming and discrete-event simulation. In this simulation environment with representative attacks, the following three attacks are generated, SYN flooding and Smurf attack as an attack type of denial of service, Mail bomb attack as an attack type of e-mail. The simulation is performed with the models that exploited various security policies against these attacks. The results of this study show that the modeling method of packet filtering system, proxy system, unix and windows NT operating system. In addition, the results of the simulation show that the analysis of security performance according to various security policies, and the analysis of correlation between availability and confidentiality according to security empowerment.

The collaborative content caching system is an effective solution developed in recent years to reduce transmission delay and network traffic. In order to decrease the service end-to-end transmission delay for future 5G ultra-dense networks (UDN), this paper proposes a novel service migration method that can guarantee the continuity of service and simultaneously reduce the traffic flow in the network. In this paper, we propose a service migration optimization model that minimizes the cumulative transmission delay within the constraints of quality of service (QoS) guarantee and network condition. Subsequently, we propose an improved firefly algorithm to solve this optimization problem. Simulation results show that compared to traditional collaborative content caching schemes, the proposed algorithm can significantly decrease transmission delay and network traffic flow.

In this paper, we investigated the problems of the offset time based service differentiation scheme for optical burst switching (OBS) networks, and proposed the preemption-based service differentiation scheme which combines a preemption channel selection algorithm and channel partitioning algorithm. The proposed preemption channel selection algorithm minimizes the length of preempted bursts to improve the channel efficiency, while the proposed channel partitioning algorithm controls the degree of service differentiation between service classes. The simulation results showed that the proposed schemes could improve the end-to-end performance and effectively provide controllable service differentiation in the multiple hop network environments.

In this paper, we propose an effective Noraebang service algorithm using multicasting technology. The goal of this proposed Noraebang service is to reduce the load of server as well as network resources and to enhance the performance of MOD. The effective Noraebang service algorithm proposes the new method that stores the post-ordered reserve songs in client's buffer in the order of request, not through the network and server, after the completion of the service pre-ordered requested song. The number of channel required in Noraebang service which used this algorithm can be decreased greatly when many songs re reserved, and the post-ordered songs can be serviced at real time by using buffer. The simulation results of this algorithm are confirmed that the performance of the proposed effective Noraebang service system increased significantly.

An AO/DI service was proposed to efficiently provide data communication service through the public network. It is planned to provide AO/DI service by the TDX -lOA switching system. It is necessary to evaluate the packet handling capacity of the TDX -lOA switching system in order to know whether its capacity is sufficient enough to accomodate AO/DI service or not. Simulation results show that TDX -lOA switching system can meet GoS(Grade of Service) requirements for AP/DI service until the AOIOI subscription rate of the ~.OOO ISDN subscribers becomes 29%.
