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.

This paper focuses on voltage control schemes for multi-terminal low-voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution systems. In a multi-terminal LVDC distribution system, there can be multiple AC/DC converters that connect the LVDC distribution system to the AC grids. This configuration can provide enhanced reliability, grid-supporting functionality, and higher efficiency. The main applications of multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems include flexible power exchange between multiple power grids and integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) using DC voltages such as photovoltaics (PVs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs). In multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems, voltage regulation is one of the most important issues for maintaining the electric power balance between demand and supply and providing high power quality to end customers. This paper focuses on a voltage control method for multi-terminal LVDC distribution system that can efficiently coordinate multiple control units, such as AC/DC converters, PVs and BESSs. In this paper, a control hierarchy is defined for undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) problems in LVDC distribution systems based on the control priority between the control units. This paper also proposes methods to determine accurate control commands for AC/DC converters and DERs. By using the proposed method, we can effectively maintain the line voltages in multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems in the normal range. The performance of the proposed voltage control method is evaluated by case studies.

Recently, the network configuration is being rapidly changed to enable easy and free network service configuration based on SDN/NFV. Despite the many advantages and applications of SDN, many security issues such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are being constantly raised as research issues. In particular, the effectiveness of DDoS attacks is much faster, SDN is causing more and more fatal damage. In this paper, we propose an entropy-based technique to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks in SDN, and prove it through experiments. The proposed scheme is designed to mitigate these attacks by detecting DDoS attacks on single and multiple victim systems and using time - specific techniques. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed scheme to reduce packet loss rate by 20(19.86)% while generating 3.21% network congestion.

The majority of next generation information systems will be working on portable mobile devices such as smartphones. REST Open API web services have quickly become popular among mobile application development. The use of REST web services are not only growing in popularity but totally changing the way of mobile applications development. This is because REST web services could be used in application development as a form of building blocks, which is completely independent, compatible, to any platforms. With this strength, REST web services encourage third party application to build add-on functionality. This research proposes the use of REST web service to replace the use of socket APIs into major internet communication APIs. To this end, this paper also provide performance evaluation of the REST web services compared to the conventional socket APIs, focusing on scalability by analytical and experimental evaluations. Finally, we summarize the possibility whether REST Open API web services have enough performance as future major internet communication primitive APIs.

The composite stock cutting problem is to allocate rectangular and/or irregular patterns onto a large composite stock sheet of finite dimensions in such a way that the resulting scrap will be minimized. In this paper, the distributed simulated annealing with the new cost error tolerant spatial decomposition is applied to the composite stock cutting problem in MPI environments. The cost error tolerant scheme relaxes synchronization and chooses small perturbations on states asynchronously in a dynamically changed stream length to keep the convergence property of the sequential annealing. This paper proposes the efficient data structures for representation of patterns and their affinity relations and also shows how to determine move generations, annealing parameters, and a cost function. The spatial decomposition method is addressed in detail. This paper identifies that the final quality is not degraded with almost linear speedup. Composite stock shapes are not constrained to convex polygons or even regular shapes, but the rotations are only allowed to 2 or 4 due to its composite nature.

The poling characteristics of PVDF (poly(vinylidene fluoride)) film was investigated by measuring the electric voltage generated by the external load for the distributed tactile sensor applications. The poling conditions for the PVDF films were controlled by changing temperature and electric field, and the resulting crystal structure of the $\beta$-phase crystal was confirmed by FT-IR, DSC, and XRD experiments. The $\beta$-phase crystal was increased with the poling temperature and poling voltage, and subsequently the permittivity of the Poled PVDF films was increased. Finally, the prototype tactile sensor was tested by a 8 $\times$ 8 may circuit exhibiting high voltage signal for the highly poled PVDF films.

As the amount of knowledge information significantly increases, a lot of progress has been made in the studies focusing on how to reason large scale ontology effectively at the level of RDFS or OWL. These reasoning methods are divided into TBox classifications and ABox realizations. A TBox classification mainly deals with integrity and dependencies in schema, whereas an ABox realization mainly handles a variety of issues in instances. Therefore, the ABox realization is very important in practical applications. In this paper, we propose a realization method for analyzing the constraint of the specified class, so that the reasoning system automatically infers the classes to which instances belong. Unlike conventional methods that take advantage of the object oriented language based distributed file system, we propose a large scale ontology reasoning method using spark, which is a functional programming-based in-memory system. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we used instances created from the Wine ontology by W3C(120 to 600 million triples). The proposed system processed the largest 600 million triples and generated 951 million triples in 51 minutes (696 K triple / sec) in our largest experiment.

최근 급속한 네트워크 기술의 발달로 이들에 대한 관리의 필요성이 제기되었고 이를 위해 SNMP와 CMIP등과 같은 표준이 등장하여 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 점점 더 다양하고 복잡한 네트워크가 형성되자 이들에 대한 효율적인 관리가 필요하게 되었다. 현재, TMN은 개념에 있어서 보편성 및 가장 일반화된 관리개념이며 최종적으로 도달할 네트워크 관리 개념을 포함하고 있다. CORBA는 분산환경에서 응용프로그램을 쉽게 구현할 수 있는 기반을 제공하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 두 가지 기술을 접목한 CORBA와 TMN을 통합하고자 하는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재의 CORBA/TMN 통합에 대한 연구를 바탕으로 효율적인 네트워크 통합 관리 구조를 정의하고 TMN의 기능중 Alarm Surveillance를 구조에 맞춰 구현하였다. 구현된 Alarm Surveillance System은 다양한 대리자들로부터 보고되는 여러 형태의 Alarm 정보에 대해, 처리 및 운용자에 대한 보고수행 등을 일관성 있게 처리하고 있는 것을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 제시된 Alarm Surveillance System은 사용자에게 일관성 있는 관리행위를 제공함으로써 다양한 관리구조가 적용된 복잡한 네트워크 관리를 제공할 수 있다. 또한 전체 네트워크로부터 필요한 통계분석을 위한 자료 수집 등의 편의를 제공할 것이다.Abstract Recently, due to the rapid development of network technology, the need for the network management appeared. So two representative standardards, SNMP and CMIP, have been applied to many network management system. But the more complex and vaious network are constructed, the demand for more efficient network management technology grew bigger. Currently, TMN technology is beginning to be widely applied to the management of networks. CORBA has been widely adopted for developing distributed systems in many areas of information technology. CORBA provides the infrastructure for the interoperability of various object-oriented management applications in a distributed environment, and, recently there have been world-wide research for the integration of CORBA within a TMN framework. Many attempts have been made to enable network management using CORBA techonology and some are working on already. This paper defines the architecture for integrated network management based on current CORBA/TMN integration technologies and then presents the design and implementation for alarm surveillance system which was applied to the defined architecture. The prototype implementation was done using IONA orbix. The proposed integrated network management framework will provide users with consistent management operations and ability to manage complex and various networks and to gather statistical data from those networks.

A Web Service is an URL addressable set of functionality that is exposed over a network to serve as a building Hock for creating distributed applications. SOAP is a protocol that Web Service consumers often use, when they request and response to a Web Service, and it is a lightweight, XML-based protocol over HTTP for exchange to information in decentralized, distributed environments. A Web Service is very useful forimplementing common functions in especially a large size business area, because it is invoked by a protocol like HTTP or SOAP that we easily use, and by an XML-based data format In this paper, we implement Web Services that process dip data by computers in enterprise accounts in order to enhance the transparency and productivity of enterprises. we analyse the structure of slip data, design dip database, implement stored procedures for manipulating data of slip database, and make thorn controlled by Web Services. The result of this paper will contribute to the standardization and activation of accounting process systems for e-business area.
