With the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) services, the interest of smart building management system is rapidly increased. However, existing smart building management system has some limitations such as single point of failure, scalability, processing delay by using the centralized service platform server. To overcome these limitations, in this paper, the distributed server based smart building management scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, it is possible to provide fast and efficient IoT services, regardless of the scale of smart building, by using the distributed server of each floor. From the numerical analysis, it is shown that the proposed scheme provides better performance than the existing centralized scheme in terms of stability of database and service processing delay.

Because a quantity wireless internet contents is much less than wired internet contents, it exist high necessities that wired internet contents should be converted into wireless internet contents. The conversion server implemented in this paper, automatically recognizes the type of user agents when they request, retrieves source documents on the web site specified by an URL, generates metaXML documents as an intermediate form, and converts them wireless markup documents appropriate for user agents. The conversion server interoperates with the image converter for image conversion and the clipper which is an authoring tool for clipping existing wired internet documents. We performed experiments about capability of the conversion server transcoding static/dynamic web pages specified by an URL. According to performance results on dynamic web pages, the conversion server showed better throughput when a thread pool in the terror maintains 5 threads compared with 1 and 10 threads.

A distributed conference architecture with a new load control method has been suggested in this paper. A new event package in this paper enables to control conference load. Some additional elements for exchanging SIP messages between server and participants, and for distributing the load, have been added to new conference information data format. Furthermore to lessen the load, all conference servers share the processing of conference information data which should be transferred periodically to all participants. The suggested load control event package makes each server can get current load status of the overall servers. When load increases in one server SIP client requests are distributed by selecting a server which has the lowest load value, or new server is created to share the load. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated by experiments. They shows 21.6% increase in average delay time, and 29.2% increase in average SIP message processing time.

Multimedia service systems should have efficient capacity to serve the growing clients and new data. In the general streaming services, users can endure the small amount of time delay at the beginning of service. But they want to have good quality of service. A streaming server tries to transfer video files to clients from a repository of files in real time. The server must guarantee concurrent and uninterrupted delivery of each video stream requested from clients. To achieve its purpose, many stream servers adopt multi-processors, sufficient memory, and RAID or SAN in their systems. In this paper, we propose a Linux-based parallel media streaming server. It is superior to the other systems in the storing structure, fault-tolerance, and service capacity. Since this system supports the web interlace, users can operate easily through the www. This system uses unique striping policy to distribute multimedia files into the parallel storage nodes. If a service request occurs, each storage node transmits striped files concurrently to the client. Its performance is better than the single media streaming service because of the parallel architecture.

OAuth 2.0 bearer token and JWT(JSON web token), current standard technologies for authentication and authorization, use the approach of sending fixed token repeatedly to server for authentication that they are subject to eavesdropping attack, thus they should be used in secure communication environment such as HTTPS. In OAuth 2.0 MAC token which was devised as an authentication scheme that can be used in non-secure communication environment, server issues shared secret key to authenticated client and the client uses it to compute MAC to prove the authenticity of request, but in this case server has to store and use the shared secret key to verify user's request. Therefore, it's hard to provide stateless authentication service. In this paper we present a randomized token authentication scheme which can provide stateless MAC token authentication without storing shared secret key in server side. To remove the use of HTTPS, we utilize secure communication using server certificate and simple signature-based login using client certificate together with the proposed randomized token authentication to achieve the fully stateless authentication service and we provide an implementation example.

In this paper, we present an efficient authentication proxy for IEEE 802.1x systems based on the port-based access control mechanism. An IEEE 802.1x system consists of PC supplicants, a bridge with authentication client functions, and an authentication server. For the network security and user authentication purposes, a supplicant who wants to access Internet should be authorized to access the bridge port using the Extended Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LAN. The frame of EAP over LAN is then relayed to the authentication server by the bridge. After several transactions between the supplicant and the server via the bridge, the supplicant may be either authorized or not. Noting that the transactions between the relaying bridge and the server will be increased as the number of supplicants grows in public networks, we propose a scheme for reducing the transactions by employing an authentication proxy function at the bridge. The proxy is allowed to cache the supplicant's user ID and password during his first transaction with the server. For the next authentication procedure of the same supplicant, the proxy function of the bridge handles the authentication transactions using its cache on behalf of the authentication server. Since the main authentication server handles only the first authentication transaction of each supplicant, the processing load of the server can be reduced. Also, the authentication transaction delay experienced by a supplicant can be decreased compared with the conventional 802.1x system.

The presence informations of users of Instant Messaging System In SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) environment are obtained by presence server, and message waiting indication event package is used to provide various message informations stored in the message server. In this paper, I have proposed a new method in which Extended CPL(Call Processing Language) has been applied to presence service to provide various functions to the users. A user of Instant Messaging System subscribes presence information and CPL scripts which describe his requirements, and presence server executes CPL scripts when instant messaging service is subscribed and notifies presence informations. Several CPL operation tags are added, and therefore various services which combine presence service and call processing can be provided in this system. Furthermore a new method has been proposed in which message server and presence server correlate in Instant Messaging System. When changes of message status informations occur, message server send these informations to the presence server, and presence server provides both presence informations and message status informations in extended format. As this method can be a substitute for message waiting indication event package, the system operating efficiency can be increased. The performance of this proposed system is evaluated by experiments.

Software streaming technology is a service method which can support several application software via streaming in networks. In this paper, we propose a platform independent PESS(performance Enhanced Software Streaming) technology. We design and implement the technology based on Java language. The main features in the implemented system are both platforms to be used in multiple operating systems in addition to Windows system and enhanced performance. In the implemented streaming method, application software is placed on the server and only necessary packs are transmitted in an instant. By virtual file system and clients' virtual registry, if necessary, the users' request is processed by transmitting a very small pack unit. Therefore, server load can be reduced and the streaming speed can also be improved. We present the implementation results and evaluate several performance characteristics of the proposed system.

Shared Memory Multiprocessor (SMP) systems adopting Chip-level MultiThreading (CMT) technology are becoming mainstream servers in commercial applications and High Performance Computining (HPC) applications as well. OpenMP has become the standard paradigm to parallelize applications for SMP mostly because of its ease of use. As the demand for more computing power in HPC applications is growing rapidly, obtaining high performance and scalability for these applications parallelized using OpenMP API's will become more important. In this paper, we study the performance and scalability of HPC applications parallelized using OpenMP, SPEC OMPL (standard OpenMP benchmark suite), on the Sun Fire E25K server which adopts CMT technology. We also study the effect of CMT on SPEC OMPL.

An understanding of performance of database driven network applications is critical in combating slow performance of e-commerce web sites, besides efficient web page design, and high quality and well-maintained web server equipment. This paper describes a method of measuring performance from the user viewpoint, which can help enormously in making realistic assessment of true performance of database driven applications. The performance measurements were taken at user locations by using several specially designed JavaScript functions along with ASP scripts. A performance study is presented in this paper, comparing performance of data access using stored procedures with the traditional way of querying a database. It is generally believed that stored procedures have performance benefits as they are pre-compiled. However, our study shows that the data access approach using stored procedures provides significant benefits(by about 30%) over the traditional approach for querying a commercial MySQL database, only when retrieving a substantial amount of data(at least 10,000 rows of data).
