Wireless internet, which becomes a hot social issue, has limitations due to the following characteristics, as different from wired internet. It has low bandwidth, frequent disconnection, low computing power, and small screen in user terminal. Also, it has technical issues to Improve in terms of user mobility, network protocol, security, and etc. Wireless internet server should be scalable to handle a large scale traffic due to rapidly growing users. In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless Internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the above limitations and needs. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless internet proxy server but it has disadvantages; 1) its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it and 2) its structure is complex because of the inefficient communication structure among modules. In our former research, we proposed the All-in-one structure which can be scalable in a systematic way but it also has disadvantages; 1) data sharing among cache servers is not allowed and 2) its communication structure among modules is complex. In this paper, we proposed its improved scheme which has an efficient communication structure among modules and allows data to be shared among cache servers. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 54.86$\%$ and 4.70$\%$ performance improvement of the proposed system compared to TranSend and All-in-one system respectively Due to data sharing amount cache servers, the proposed scheme has an advantage of keeping a fixed size of the total cache memory regardless of cache server numbers. On the contrary, in All-in-one, the total cache memory size increases proportional to the number of cache servers since each cache server should keep all cache data, respectively.

In distributed environments, dynamic partitioning is needed to resolve the load on a particular server or the load caused by communication among servers. In heterogeneous environments, existing dynamic partitioning schemes can distribute the same load to a server with a low physical performance, which results in a delayed query response time. In this paper, we propose a dynamic partitioning scheme for large RDF data in heterogeneous environments. The proposed scheme calculates the query loads with its frequency and the number of vertices used in the query for load balancing. In addition, we calculate the server loads by considering the physical performance of the servers to allocate less of a load to the servers with a smaller physical performance in a heterogeneous environment. We perform dynamic partitioning to minimize the number of edge-cuts to reduce the traffic among servers. To show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with an existing dynamic partitioning scheme through a performance evaluation.

A clustering based wireless internet proxy server with cooperative caching has a problem of minimizing overall performance because some servers become overloaded if client request pattern is Hot-Spot or uneven. We propose a self-learning based adaptive clustering scheme to solve the poor performance problems of the existing clustering in case of Hot-Spot or uneven client request pattern. In the proposed scheme, requests are dynamically redistributed to the other servers if some servers supposed to handle the requests become overloaded. This is done by a self-learning based method based dynamic weight adjustment algorithm so that it can be applied to a situation with even various request pattern or a cluster of hosts with different performance. We performed experiments in a clustering environment with 16 PCs and a load balancer. Experimental results show the 54.62% performance improvement of the proposed schemes compared to the existing schemes.

Disk arrays are using to enhance data trandfer rate and I/O performance in multimedia applications which need a high-performance storage device with large storage capacity and high-speed network.As performance varies with configuration and data layout scheme,disk array characteristic variables must be approrpriately deter-mined in desibning disk array archetecture for a speciffic applicatoin. In this paper,in order to design a disk array architecturte as a storage server of a small-scale VOD system,we evaluate performance of a disk array to chose the number of disks in the array,disk array cinfiguration,a degree of declustering for a given data block size of continous media file system and I/D request size through simulation.Simulation result shows that RAID level 5 with 5 disks ios a suitable candidate for the disk array architecture which privides MPEG-2 files with a rate of 6 Mbps,Moreover,we whow that stripe unit is 64 KB and a layout scheme is contigous placement.

Today, information resource management is key task in the data-centre as like as NCIA(National computing integration Agency of Korea). In IRM, the server's performance is one of the core elements, it must be importantly managed during whole of system life cycle. As first step of such management is in purchase phase, it is very important that the optimum specification is determined. The server's specification contains such as performance of core, criteria for performance verification, minimum cores, etc. There is constant controversy concerning the minimum cores. In this article, we present criteria for determination of the minimum cores that considered three aspects: (1) Costly aspect as TCO(Total Cost of Ownership, (2) Environmental aspect as Green IT (3) Technical aspect as RAS(Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) functionality. Finally, we propose scheme to ideally determinate the minimum cores.

The paradigm of Internet-of-things(IoT) systems is changing from a cloud-based system to an edge-based system to solve delays caused by network congestion, server overload and security issues due to data transmission. However, edge-based IoT systems have fatal weaknesses such as lack of performance and flexibility due to various limitations. To improve performance, application-specific hardware can be implemented in the edge device, but performance cannot be improved except for specific applications due to a fixed function. This paper introduces a edge-centric metamorphic IoT(mIoT) platform that can use a variety of hardware through on-demand partial reconfiguration despite the limited hardware resources of the edge device, so we can increase the performance and flexibility of the edge device. According to the experimental results, the edge-centric mIoT platform that executes the reconfiguration algorithm at the edge was able to reduce the number of server accesses by up to 82.2% compared to previous studies in which the reconfiguration algorithm was executed on the server.

The pattern matching part of Intrusion Detection System based on misuse-detection mechanism needs much processing time and resources, and it has become a bottleneck in system performance. Moreover, it derives denial-of-service attack. In this paper, we propose (1) framework architecture that is strong against denial-of-service attack and (2) efficient pattern matching method especially for web server system. By using both of these 2 methods, we can maintain web server system efficiently secure against attacks including denial-of-service.

This research suggests a load balancing method for a volume rendering system which supports concurrent users. When concurrent users use a volume rendering server system, the computational resources are occupied by a particular user by turns because each process consumes the computational resources as much as possible. In this case, the previous method shows acceptable throughput but the latency is increased for each user. In this research, we suggest a method to improve the latency without performance degradation. Each process makes concessions for taking the resources according to the number of users connected to the system. And we propose a load balancing method in the dynamic situation in which the number of users can vary. Using our methods, we can improve the latency time for each user.

Due to the price and performanceof uniprocessor workstations and off-the shelf networking, network of workstations(NOW) ae now a cost-effective parallel processing platform tht is competitive with supercomputers. Meanwhile, current network fiile system protocols rely heavily on a central server to coordinate file activity among client workstations. This central server can become a bottleneck that limits scalibility for environments with large numbers of clients. In this paper, we propsoe a highly reliable and effective software RAID file system on the network of workstation environment. We present results form a trace-driven simulation study that shows that the designed software RAID file system is more effective in the aspect of elapsed time when compared with client/server file systems.

In this paper, a video broadcasting system between a home-server-type device and a mobile device is proposed. The home-server-type device can automatically extract semantic information from video contents, such as news, a soccer match, and a baseball game. The indexing results are utilized to convert the original video contents to a digested or arranged format. From the mobile device, a user can make recording requests to the home-server-type devices and can then watch and navigate recorded video contents in a digested form. The novelty of this study is the actual implementation of the proposed system by combining the actual IT environment that is available with indexing algorithms. The implementation of the system is demonstrated along with experimental results of the automatic video indexing algorithms. The overall performance of the developed system is compared with existing state-of-the-art personal video recording products.
