According to the statistics of SecurityFocus in 2008, client-side attacks through the Microsoft Internet Explorer have increased by more than 50%. In this paper, we have implemented a behavior-based malicious web page detection system and a blacklist-based malicious web page filtering system. To do this, we first efficiently collected the target URLs by constructing a crawling system. The malicious URL detection system, run on a specific server, visits and renders actively the collected web pages under virtual machine environment. To detect whether each web page is malicious or not, the system state changes of the virtual machine are checked after rendering the page. If abnormal state changes are detected, we conclude the rendered web page is malicious, and insert it into the blacklist of malicious web pages. The malicious URL filtering system, run on the web client machine, filters malicious web pages based on the blacklist when a user visits web sites. We have enhanced system performance by automatically handling message boxes at the time of ULR analysis on the detection system. Experimental results show that the game sites contain up to three times more malicious pages than the other sites, and many attacks incur a file creation and a registry key modification.

Many objects existing on wide area environments have the replication characteristics according to how to categorize using their own names or properties. From the clients' requests, the existing naming and trading services have not supported with the binding service for replicated solver object with the same service type. For this reason, we present an integrated model that can support the selection of replicated object and dynamic binding services on wide-area computing environments. This model suggests provides not only location management of replicated objects but also active binding service which enables to select a least-loaded object on the system to keep the balance of load between systems. In this purpose, constructing both the service plan and model for support solver object's binding with replication property on wide area computing environments has been researched. In this paper, we showed the test environment and analyzed the performance evaluation of client/server binding procedures via integrated binding service in federation model and verified our model under the condition to see whether load balance can be applied to our model. For the performance evaluation of suggested wide area integrated binding service federation model, evaluated the integrated binding service of each domain and analyzed the performance evaluation of process for non-replication object's under federation model environment. Also, we analyzed the performance evaluation of the federation model between domains for wide area environment. From the execution results, we showed the federation model provides lowers search-cost on the physical tree structure of network.

We focus on the mobile agents which are considered as new paradigm to solve information retrieval of large volumes of data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment. The mobile agent moves the computation to data instead of large volumes of data to computations. In this paper, we propose an information retrieval model, which can effectively search data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment, using mobile agents. Our model is applied to the design and implementation of an Q&A(Question and Answer) retrieval system. Our Q&A retrieval system, called QASSMA(Q&A Search System using Mobile Agents), uses mobile agents to retrieve articles from Q&A boards and newsgroups that exist in the heterogeneous and distributed environment. QASSMA has the following features and advantages. First, the mobile retrieval agent moves to the destination server to retrieve articles to reduce the retrieval time by eliminating data traffics from the server to the client host. Also it can reduce the traffic that was occurred in the centralized network system, and reduce the usage of resources by sending its agent and running in the destination host. Finally, the mobile retrieval agent of QASSMA can add and update dynamically the class file according to its retrieval environment, and support other retrieval manner. In this paper, we have shown that our Q&A retrieval system using mobile agents is more efficient than the retrieval system using static agents by our experiments.

In this paper, we design and implement an Internet GIS based on ObjectWeb, which makes to use various distributed services and object paradigm. We use CORBA, which is the standard of distributed object middleware and supports interoperability and reusability regardless of the execution environment and the implementation language of a distributed code, so that it easily extends established systems in networking environment and accesses distributed heterogeneous spatial data. Our method distributes parts of user interactive tasks to clients to reduce and to improve the system performance while existing approaches concentrate all workloads on a server. We implement a travel information system on the developed IGIS. Users receive services from remote servers employing a Java client system running on a web browser.

The web has been evolving as an indispensable part of our lives since Berners Lee introduced the first web sever and browser in 1990. From the web end user's point of view, the response time is a matter of concern. Moreover the throughput is an important factor to consider for the system manager's point as well. It's not easy to estimate the performance of a web application because it depends on various elements comprising the whole operational environment of the Internet from networking, client and server computing powers, DBMS and OS capabilities, to application itself. This paper suggests a coarse grained simulation model for web application performance estimation based on the data measured by Buch and Pentkowski [1] and the analytical model proposed by Gunther [2]. The result of the simulation model almost coincides with the measured data and estimates the performance of a new environment.

Recently, data has been growing dramatically along with the growth of social media and digital devices. A distributed memory processing system has been used to efficiently process large amounts of data. However, if a load is concentrated in a certain node in distributed environments, a node performance significantly degrades. In this paper, we propose a load balancing scheme to distribute load in a distributed memory environment. The proposed scheme replicates hot data to multiple nodes for managing a node's load and migrates the data by considering the load of the nodes when nodes are added or removed. The client reduces the number of accesses to the central server by directly accessing the data node through the metadata information of the hot data. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing load balancing scheme through performance evaluation.

Federated learning is a learning method capable of performing model learning without transmitting learning data. The IoT or healthcare field is sensitive to information leakage as it deals with users' personal information, so a lot of attention should be paid to system design, but when using federated-learning, data does not move from devices where data is collected. Accordingly, many federated-learning implementations have been developed, but detailed research on system design for the development and operation of systems using federated learning is insufficient. This study shows that measures for the life cycle, code version management, model serving, and device monitoring of federated learning are needed to be applied to actual projects and distributed to IoT devices, and we propose a design for a development environment that complements these points. The system proposed in this paper considered uninterrupted model-serving and includes source code and model version management, device state monitoring, and server-client learning schedule management.
