This paper presents the concept and characteristics of cloud computing, and it addresses how cloud computing delivers quality of service (QoS) to the end-user. Next, it discusses how to schedule one's workload in the infrastructure using technologies that have recently emerged such as Machine Learning (ML). That is followed by an overview of how ML can be used for resource management. This paper then looks at the primary goal of this project, which is to outline the benefits of using ML to schedule upcoming demands to achieve QoS and conserve energy. In this survey, we reviewed the research related to ML methods for predicting workloads in cloud computing. It also provides information on the approaches to elasticity, while another section discusses the methods of prediction used in previous studies and those that used in this field. The paper concludes with a summary of the literature on predicting workloads and optimising QoS in the cloud computing.

In the wireless ATM networks, a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is required to support an integrated mix of multimedia traffic services. The MAC protocol should be designed in a way that the limited wireless bandwidth can be efficiently utilized maximizing the Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for various traffic service classes. In this paper, a Dynamic Resource Allocation-based MAC protocol, which satisfies QoS of each traffic service class in the wireless ATM environment, is proposed. The proposed MAC protocol adopts the dynamic channel allocation schemes for a mix of different traffic service classes. The suggested MAC protocol is designed to provide the QoS guarantees for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or real-time Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic through fixed or dynamic reservation. For Available Bit Rate (ABH) traffic, which has the lowest priority among the traffic classes, large improvement in delay by reserving the minimum bandwidth is shown. And for real-time VBR traffic, increase in throughput of transmission is demonstrated because of bandwidth, which is allocated through contention at the initial phase and without contention thereafter.

웹 서비스의 등록, 검색, 조합, 실행을 자동적으로 수행할 수 있도록 웹 서비스에 시맨틱 웹 기술을 적용시킨 것이 시맨틱 웹 서비스(Semantic Web Services)이다. 시맨틱 웹 서비스는 원하는 서비스를 찾으려는 사용자의 노력을 줄이기 위해 기계가 이해할 수 있는 정보를 서비스에 추가시킴으로써 정확하게 원하는 서비스를 찾을 수 있게 해준다. 수많은 서비스들 중 같은 역할을 하는 서비스들이 있을 수가 있다. 그 중 하나의 서비스만을 선택해야 할 때 서비스의 기능이 아닌 질적인 측면에서 QoS(Quality of Service)를 고려하면 최선의 서비스를 선택을 하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 시맨틱 웹 서비스의 검색과 조합의 측면에서 매치메이킹(matchmaking)에 대한 연구의 하나로써 QoS의 매칭에 대한 연구를 수행하게 되었다. 기존의 QoS 매칭과 관련된 연구에서 QoS의 유사도를 계산하는 방법은 QoS 요소의 값의 특성을 반영하지 않는다는 것과 QoS 유사도의 순위가 놓더라도 좋은 서비스라는 것을 의미하지 않는다는 두 가지 문제점을 발견하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 연구의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 기존의 웹 서비스 관련 연구에서 논의된 여러 QoS 모델을 수렴하여 QoS 모델의 요소들을 결정하였다. 그리고 기존 연구의 두 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위해 각 QoS 요소의 표준편차를 이용한 표준 값을 구하여 QoS 요소의 값의 특성을 반영하였다. 또한 매칭 결과 순위가 높은 것이 사용자에게 더 선호되는 좋은 서비스라는 것을 보장하는 메커니즘을 제안하였다.

QoE is defined as a quality perceived by users on a certain service. However, standard method to measure voice QoE(MOS) has been developed, but no standard method to measure video QoE has been defined. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to measure video QoE s automatically for IPTV services. The proposed method selects candidate scenarios that affect the users' MOS directly, and derives weight factors for the selected scenarios. With the weight factors for the scenarios, video QoE value is calculated. For the validation of the proposed algorithm, we made degraded videos reflecting the parameters. With the degraded videos, by comparing the user perceived MOSs with the video QoEs derived by the proposed algorithm, we show that the two values are highly correlated each other.

Recently there is a growing interest in mobile cellular network providing multimedia service. However, the link bandwidth of mobile cellular network is not sufficient enough to provide satisfactory services to users. To overcome this problem, an adaptive framework has been proposed. In this study, we propose a new method of estimating DPR(Degradation Period Ratio) in an adaptive multimedia network where the bandwidth of ongoing call can be dynamically adjusted during its lifetime. DPR is a QoS(Quality of Service) parameter which represents the ratio of allocated bandwidth below a pre-defined target to the whole service time of a call. We improve estimation method of DPR using DTMC(Discrete Time Markov Chain) model by calculate mean degradation period, degradation probability more precisely than in existing studies. Under Threshold CAC(Call Admission Control) algorithm, we present analytically how to guarantee QoS to users and illustrate the method by numerical examples. The proposed method is expected to be used as one of CAC schemes in guaranteeing predefined QoS level of DPR.

The requirement of distributed multimedia applications is the need for sophisticated QoS(quality of service) management. In terms of distributed multimedia systems, the most important catagories for quality of service are a timeless, volume, and reliability. In this paper, we discuss a method for increasing reliability through fault tolerance. We describe the desist and implementation of the ERA running on distributed multimedia environment ERA is a system is able to recover automatically a software error based on distributed multimedia. This paper explains a performance analysis of an error recovery system running on distributed multimedia environment using the rule-based DEVS modeling and simulation techniques. In DEVS, a system has a time base, inputs, states, outputs, and functions.

광대역 유선통신망과 무선통신망이 통합되고, 통신과 방송이 융합되는 BcN 환경에서는 서비스 품질(QoS)이 보장되는 다양한 종류의 멀티미디어 서비스가 제공될 수 있어야하며, 다수의 통신방사업자가 제공하는 BcN들 간에 QoS 보장형 차별화서비스 제공을 위한 inter-domain 트래픽 엔지니어링 기능이 제공되어야한다. 특히, BcN 구축 초기 단계에서는 각 통신망 사업자가 개별적으로 구축 및 운영하는 BcN의 NNI signaling과 망운용관리 기능에 많은 차이점이 존재할 것으로 예상되기 때문에, 이들을 효율적으로 연동시킬 수 있는 inter-domain networking 기능 구현방안이 상세히 연구되어야한다. 본 논문에서는 BcN 환경에서의 QoS 보장형 차별화서비스제공을 위한 inter-domain 네트워킹 기술에 대하여 각 영역별로 살펴보며, 상용 BcN간 연동에 적용될 수 있는 트래픽 엔지니어링 및 관련 구현 기술에 대하여 살펴본다.

The enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) of IEEE 802.11e has been standardized for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless LANs. In the EDCA, support of QoS can be achieved statistically by reducing the probability of medium access for lower priority traffics. In other words, it provides statistical channel access rather than deterministically prioritized access to high priority traffic. Therefore, lower priority traffics affect the performance of higher priority traffics. Consequently, at the high loads, the EDCA does not guarantee the QoS of multimedia applications such as voice and video even though it provides higher priority. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective scheme, called deterministic priority channel access (DPCA), for improving the QoS performance of the EDCA mechanism. In order to provide guaranteed priority channel access to multimedia applications, the proposed scheme uses a busy tone for limiting the transmissions of lower priority traffics when higher priority traffic has data packets to send. Performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by numerical analysis and simulation. Our results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the EDCA in terms of throughput, delay, jitter, and drop under a wide range of contention levels.

Multimedia services(i.e. teleconferencing and Video on demand) have been developed on MBone. The video and audio data of them require Real-Time service using QoS(Quality of Service) guarantees. RSVP(Resource reSerVation Protocol) on the Internet has been suggested to support QoS guarantees. But currently, it has two problems : complexity and scalability. To solve these problems, this paper describes the design and implement of teleconferencing system with QoS guarantees by simplifying the resource reservation processing to solve the RSVP's complexity and scalability.
