Web services provide an effective means to carry out coordinated transactions between multiple, independent business parties. While there are several specific protocols currently being discussed to address the coordination of web services-enabled business transactions, we consider the tentative hold protocol (THP) that allows the placement of tentative holds on business resources prior to actual transactions in order to provide increased flexibility in coordination. In this paper, we present a formal coordination framework for applying THP in conjunction with 2PC to the problem in which service providers independently manage resources and clients seek to acquire the resources from multiple providers as a single atomic transaction. The proposed framework facilitates the performance optimization of THP through effective parameterization with the notion of overhold size and hold duration. The simulation results show that the proposed adaptive approach yields a significant improvement over other non-adaptive policies.

The exponential growth in wireless services has resulted in an overly crowded spectrum. The current state of spectrum allocation indicates that most usable frequencies have already been occupied. This makes one pessimistic about the feasibility of integrating emerging wireless services such as large-scale sensor networks into the existing communication infrastructure. Cognitive radio is an emerging dynamic spectrum access technology that can be used for flexibly and efficiently achieving open spectrum sharing. Cognitive radio is an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its radio environment and that is capable of adapting its operation to statistical variations of the radio frequency. In ad hoc cognitive radio networks, a common control channel (CCC) is usually used for supporting transmission coordination and spectrum-related information exchange. Determining a CCC in distributed networks is a challenging research issue because the spectrum availability at each ad hoc node is quite different and dynamic due to the interference between and coexistence of primary users. In this paper, we propose a novel CCC selection protocol that is implemented in a distributed way according to the appearance patterns of primary systems and connectivity among nodes. The proposed protocol minimizes the possibility of CCC disruption by primary user activities and maximizes node connectivity when the control channel is set up. It also facilitates adaptive recovery of the control channel when the primary user is detected on that channel.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11에서 채택한 매체접근제어 프로토콜인 Stop-and-Wait Automatic Repeat reQust(ARQ)방식을 사용하는 Carrier Sence Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) 프로토콜의 성능을 renewal theory를 사용하여 수학적으로 분석하였으며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 분석의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. CSMA/CA 프로토콜의 처리율을 분석하기 위하여 통신망은 유한 가입자로 구성되며, 슬롯화된 채널을 고려하였고, CSMA/CA프로토콜은 1-persistent CSMA와 p-persistent CSMA프로토콜을 혼합한 프로토콜로 모델링하여 CSMA.CA 프로토콜의 처리율 및 패킷지연을 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면, CSMA/CA 방식은 스테이션의 수, Acknowledgement(ACK) 패킷의 길이 및 Distributed coordination function Inter Frame Space(DIFS)의 길이가 커짐에 따라 처리율이 저하되었으며, 패킷 지연이 증가하였다.

Real-time multimedia streaming over the Internet is rapidly increasing with the popularity of user-created contents, Web 2.0 trends, and P2P (peer-to-peer) delivery support. While many homes today are broadband-enabled, the quality of experience (QoE) of a user is still limited due to frequent interruption of media playout. The vulnerability of TCP (transmission control protocol), the popular transport-layer protocol for streaming in practice, to the packet losses, retransmissions, and timeouts makes it hard to deliver a timely and persistent flow of packets for online multimedia contents. This paper presents TCP-real-time online multimedia environment (ROME), a novel transport-layer framework that allows the establishment and coordination of multiple many-to-one TCP connections. Between one client with multiple home addresses and multiple co-located or distributed servers, TCP-ROME increases the total throughput by aggregating the resources of multiple TCP connections. It also overcomes the bandwidth fluctuations of network bottlenecks by dynamically coordinating the streams of contents from multiple servers and by adapting the streaming rate of all connections to match the bandwidth requirement of the target video.

Effective management of business processes is a crucial issue to every enterprise in e-business environment. What's needed is a new framework of applications that can automatically manage distributed and heterogeneous business processes that span multiple functions of a company. In this paper, we propose technical design of a new enactment model that can coordinate such business process that involves multiple functional units or even multiple companies. In our approach, a process model is decomposed into several structural units, called 'process block', according to their procedural characteristics. Each of them is controlled by autonomous enactment units that can communicate with each other using a mutually agreed coordination protocol. The protocol takes the use of 'associative communication' concept, which allows the autonomy for each unit and secure the correctness of process execution.

The DCF (Dcistributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function) are the basic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. According to the DCF, each node performs the exponential backoff algorithm before the transmission of its data frame. Each node doubles the backoff waiting time before the transmission of its data frame whenever it detects the transmission collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes having the data frames to transmit increases, the overall MAC performance of the DCF decreases. On the other hand, according to the PCF, each node is granted the transmission opportunity by which the PCF transmission is possible without the collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes increases, the MAC performance of the PCF increases, In this paper, considering the tradeoff of MAC performance between the DCF and PCF, a hybrid MAC protocol is proposed to enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

Although the Distributed Coordination Function is the fundamental access protocol of IEEE 802.11, it cannot meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in general. So, the Point Coordinate Function is provided to support QoS related services. However, it has inherent problems. Access point (AP) has no knowledge of the queue status and instantaneous channel condition of stations in the system. In this paper we propose an efficient and versatile polling scheduler that shows excellent throughput and fairness performance. Comparison with well known polling schemes is provided through computer simulation under various channel situations including error prone environments.

분산 문제 해결 방법은 문제 해결 능력을 갖는 knowledge-sources(KS'S)들이 분산되지만 느슨한 연결을 유지하며 서로 협력하여 문제를 해결하는 수단을 제공한다. 계약망 프로토콜(Contract Net Protocol)은 이러한 분산 문제 해결 분야에서 KS 간의 통신과 제어를 위해 제안된 방법이다. 역할의 분담은 협상 과정에 의해서 결정이 되며 협상의 결과 주어진 역할을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 분산 침입 탐지 시스템 (Distributed Intrusion Detection System)의 침입 성능을 향상시키며, 침입 차단 시스템(firewall)과의 통신을 위해서 계약망프로토콜을 사용하여 연동하는 방법을 소개한다. IDS와 firewall의 모델을 계층적으로 구성하기 위해서 DEVS (Discrete Event system Specification) 방법론을 사용하였다. 각 침입 탐지 에이전트는 계약망 프로토콜을 사용하여 침입을 탐지하게 된다. 침입 탐지의 내용은 바로 방화벽에 알려지고 방화벽은 이러한 침입 사실을 바탕으로 유해 트래픽이 네트워크로 유입되는 것을 막는다. 즉 한 침입 탐지 시스템이 침입을 탐지하게 되면 이를 침입 차단 시스템에 알리게되어 해당 침입 패킷을 차단하게 된다. 이러한 방법을 사용하여 네트워크의 피해를 막게 된다.

The distributed coordination function (DCF) and point coordination function (PCF) protocols are the basic MAC protocols for legacy IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless LANs. When the DCF protocol is used for the various versions of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the MAC performance seriously degrades due to the collisions among the stations (STAs) as more and more STAs attempt to transmit their data frames. On the other hand, the PCF MAC performance becomes poor when many STAs exist in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, however, only small number of STAs actually attempt to transmit their data frames. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for improving the MAC performance by selectively using the DCF and PCF protocols according to the state of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Numerical examples are presented to show the MAC performance improvement by the selective use of the DCF and PCF protocols according to the network state.
