The Grid is an infrastructure to connect heterogeneous resources that are scattered over areas with high-speed network and to cooperate with each other. To support Grid applications, network resources should be managed, since the network has to be safe and reliable. The Grid Monitoring Architecture Working Group (GMAWG) of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) proposed an effective architecture to be scalable across wide-area networks and encompass a large number of heterogeneous resources. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of Grid network monitoring system based on the GMA for practical network management. By this system, network operations center can form a management system flexibly and scalably for Grid network.

In the roaming case, the cost of using the visited network is larger than that of home network. So, if a mobile terminal is connected to the visited network, even though it actually came back to the home network, the user may unduly pay for communication. Such a problem frequently occurs when many networks are overlapped in the same region, as shown in the case of Poland. In this paper, we propose a network search algorithm to support the fast comeback to home network in the roaming environment. In the proposed scheme, which is based on the 3GPP specification, the mobile terminal tries to search the home network by using a database of network information, as fast as possible. For performance evaluation, we construct a virtual testbed with real terminal and network equipment to emulate the service providers in Poland. From the experimental results, we can see that the proposed scheme can reduce the time of comeback to the home network by 3~60 minutes, compared the existing 3GPP scheme.

It is appropriate to use the NETCONF to monitor and manage today's complex networks that are composed of variety links and heterogeneous equipment. Since the first standard of the NETCONF are launched, there have been several revisions, but disadvantages of each layer capabilities is still present and the most typical disadvantage is XML document processing efficiency of the Content layer. In this paper, we perform data modeling by constructing a sub-tree based on the dependencies between Content layer data, and suggest method of extract efficiently data from XML by applying the extended VTD-XML technique for the XPath query. We performs experiment to compare NETCONF in proposed method to NETCONF in previous studies and NETCONF standard. we validate superiority of improved NETCONF in the paper. As experimental results, we verify that improved NETCONF is better than the other two NETCONF each 4% and 10% in terms of query processing rate, and faster than each 3.9 seconds and 10.4 seconds in terms of query processing speed.

In this paper, an adaptive scheme for network topology configuration is proposed to save the overall energy consumption in underwater acoustic sensor network. The proposed scheme employs a self-organized networking methodology where network topology is locally optimized by exchanging the energy-related information between neighboring nodes such as the remaining energy of each node, in a way that the network life time can be augmented without any centralized control function. Computer simulation is used to evaluate the proposed scheme comparing with LEACH in terms of the number of alive nodes after a given time, the deviation of individual nodes' residual energy and the energy consumption at the initialization and coordination stages.

Looking at the recent value change of users and the usage pattern of network users, it is changing from simple web information, one-way information acquisition and data transmission to increase of usage of multimedia, increasing demand for security and customization, and increasing demands for free mobility. Due to this change of demand, the services which were provided individually, developed into a form which is merged, the network also seems to develop into the combined network from the individual network for individual service, and the communication network control technology which is the core technology is also rapidly developing.. This paper propose three path computation scheme that not only use the resources effectively but also to minimize the information transmissions between the multi-layers in a multi-domain environment. This paper also suggested that the optimum path choice be performed through diversification of the path selection using the information of various layers altogether in the multi-layer environment, compared with the established path selection method when the path was selected using the information of each layers.

'Video Commerce' has grown significantly, and is in the era of so-called V-commerce 2.0. Based on this background, this study focused on the link and the possibility of creating synergy between V-commerce 2.0 content and MCN, and examined the linkage strategy considering its characteristics. In conclusion, first, V-Commerce has evolved into the age of 2.0, centered on the characteristics of content that are oriented towards fun and sympathy, beyond the 1.0 era. Second, V-commerce 2.0 content has the characteristic of replacing the sharing and recommendation based on the nature of SNS networks as promotion and purchase enhancement. Therefore, competitiveness as 'content' is relatively important before 'commerce'. Third, V-commerce 2.0 and MCN industry have a strong connection with each other in terms of securing core competitiveness and creating a new profit model. In order to create the synergy between V-Commerce 2.0 and MCN, we proposed the use of big data to reinforce V-Commerce 2.0 customized content competitiveness, building of storytelling marketing and branding, and enhancement of live performance and interactive communication.

The broadcasting communications service will accelerate its development with the convergence of broadcasting media and internet service. In the field of CATV network related technology, only those service providers will be able to survive in future, and they can combine available services in the most effective and economical way. This research aims to explain the CATV status of Korea and China and its technology trends. It also analyzes CMC(Cable Modem Concentrator) technology, suggested as one of the high-speed internet technology. CMC technology has the advantages of enhancing the transmission speed while using the existing basic structure of HFC network and expanding service area by adding amplifiers within CMC. The distance between coaxial cables is getting shorter with more concentrated areas in large cities in Korea. However, in China, the demand for long distance transmission service is increasing. CMC technology satisfies both short and long distance service subscribers without any geographical limitations. With these advantages, CMC technology is expected to generate lots of economic benefits if applied for the CATV network in the area of China, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

This paper is a first-hand summary on our comprehensive live trial of cellular-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communications currently being ratified by the standards community for next-generation mobile broadband networks. In our test implementation, we employ a full-featured 3GPP LTE network deployment and augment it with all necessary support to provide realtime D2D connectivity over emerging Wi-Fi-Direct (WFD) technology. As a result, our LTE-assisted WFD D2D system enjoys the required flexibility while meeting the existing standards in every feasible detail. Further, this paper provides an account on the extensive measurement campaign conducted with our implementation. The resulting real-world measurements from this campaign quantify the numerical effects of D2D functionality on the resultant system performance. Consequently, they shed light on the general applicability of LTE-assisted WFD solutions and associated operational ranges.

As elder abuse has become a social problem, it has drawn a great deal of attention from researchers and policy-planers. While there have been a number of studies addressing various issues related to elder abuse, the present study aims to explain whether and how the perception of elder abuse would differ among the elderly themselves. In particular, the study focuses on the differences between urban and rural areas. Family-centered culture is believed to have a stronger influence in rural areas compared to urban areas. This cultural tradition highlights the importancy of the family compared to the individuals. Thus, the elderly who experience abuse would take it as personal matter rather than publicizing it. In addition, the information and campaigns on preventing elder abuse are less prevalent in rural areas than in urban areas due to limited communication networks. For these reasons, the study suggests a hypothesis that the elderly in rural areas are less perceptive to elder abuse. Using 6,709 persons aged 65 and over from a nationwide survey conducted by the Korean Institute for Health and Social Affairs in 2009, the study ran regression analysis on 4 types of elder abuse including psychological, financial, physical and neglect. The results show that regardless of types of abuse, the elderly in rural areas have lower levels of perception than the elderly in urban areas do. In addition, the frequency of social activities is positively related to the perception of elderly abuse. This is also true for the different types of elder abuse. The findings suggest that social effort to prevent elder abuse consider the urban-rural differences and their sources.

In a distributed processing environment composed of many independent systems connected by networks, it is very important and difficult to make time synchronization between the systems. Especially in the USN environment the time synchronization is still more difficult than in general distributed processing environment because energy is limited and communication function is feeble. Even though of these difficulties, the USN environment requires higher precision of time synchronization. We of the typical applications requesting very strict time synchronization in USN is TDMA MAC. This paper proposes and evaluates a new time synchronization protocol HTSP(Hierarchical Time Synchronization Protocol) which is an advanced version of the FTSP(Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol) published recently. The time synchronization precision of the HTSP is equal to that of the FTSP, but the energy consumption of the HTSP is lower than that of the FTSP owing to the reduced number of broadcast messages. The simulation results show that the energy consumption of the HTSP is only 74% of that of the FTSP.
