The on-line games in the past were played by only two persons exchanging data based on one-to-one connections, whereas recent ones (e.g. MMORPG: Massively Multi-player Online Role-playings Game) enable tens of thousands of people to be connected simultaneously. Specifically, Korea has established an excellent network infrastructure that can't be found anywhere in the world. Almost every household has a high-speed Internet access. What made this possible was, in part, high density of population that has accelerated the formation of good Internet infrastructure. However, this rapid increase in the use of on-line games may lead to surging traffics exceeding the limited Internet communication capacity so that the connection to the games is unstable or the server fails. expanding the servers though this measure is very costly could solve this problem. To deal with this problem, the present study proposes the load distribution technology that connects in the form of local clustering the game servers divided by their contents used in each on-line game reduces the loads of specific servers using the load balancer, and enhances performance of sewer for their efficient operation. In this paper, a cluster system is proposed where each Game server in the system has different contents service and loads are distributed efficiently using the game server resource information such as CPU utilization. Game sewers having different contents are mutually connected and managed with a network file system to maintain information consistency required to support resource information updates, deletions, and additions. Simulation studies show that our method performs better than other traditional methods. In terms of response time, our method shows shorter latency than RR (Round Robin) and LC (Least Connection) by about 12%, 10% respectively.

Recently, there are efforts to improve my learning ability by using various learning tools based on ICT technology. The application such as games is used in conjunction with lecture class to induce interest in the class and to enhance the learning effect by using smartphone app as learning tool. In addition, we are trying to improve creative thinking ability, problem solving ability and logical thinking ability through early coding education. In this paper, we describe the learning and quiz app using the app inventor and conducted the related questionnaire. We developed a learning philosophy for preliminary early childhood teachers using the developed apps and taught them how to utilize them in early childhood education by explaining the apps and using the app inventor. Through questionnaires, we confirmed the learning effect and the willingness to use in early childhood education. Through this study, I hope to improve the ability of early childhood teacher learning and to utilize the coding in early childhood education with the app developed as the app inventor.

As the existing edutainment contents for children are mostly comprised of educational tools which unilaterally induce educatees to passively respond to them, the content-creating methodologies in terms of which active and voluntary learning is made possible is urgently needed. In this paper, we present the implementation of the tangible 'electronic dice' interface as an interactive tool for behavior-based edutainment contents, and propose a methodology for developing edutainment contents for children by utilizing the recognition technique of hand movement based on depth-image information. Also proposed in the paper are an authoring and management tool of learning quizzes that allows educators to set up and manage their learning courseware, and a log analysis system of learning achievement for real-time monitoring of educational progress. The behavior-based tangible interface and edutainment contents that we propose provide the easy-to-operate interaction with a real object, which augments educatees' interest in learning, thus leading to their active and voluntary attitude toward learning. Furthermore, The authoring and management tool and log analysis system allow us to construct learning programs by children's achievement level and to monitor in real-time the learning development of children educatees by understanding the situation and behavior of their learning development from the analytic results obtained by observing the processes of educatees' solving problems for themselves, and utilizing them for evaluation materials for lesson plans.

In Korea, software education is implemented from elementary school. As a representative software education tool for elementary schools, various chess games reconstructed based on the rules of Western chess games are being used. On the other hand, Yutnori, one of our traditional games, also includes elements of software education, so research on this is needed. Therefore, in this study, a Yutnori program based on computational thinking using an educational programming language, Entry, and a turtle robot was developed and its validity verified. As a result of the validity verification, the CVR value was higher than 0.7 in the degree of agreement with the subject achievement standard (3 questions), the appropriateness of learning materials (4 questions), and the possibility of class application (3 questions). Therefore, it could be judged that the learning program developed in this study has a high level of agreement with the subject achievement standards, appropriate learning materials, and high possibility of being applied to classes. In order to generalize this content in the future, the effectiveness will need to be verified, and experimental research will be needed to understand this.

Today computer education puts an emphasis on algorithm education. There are little researches about how to express the given problem in algorithm and how to interpret the expressed algorithm. In this study play-based learning methods dealing with flow chart which is one of the expressing tools of algorithm are developed for lower graders of elementary school. Then we diagnosed the learning possibility of the tool after applying the methods in a classroom environment. There are four types of learning game activities; sequential play, selective play, repetitive play and puzzle play. Puzzle play is a game that students need to reconstruct the learned content to a real flow chart by using flow chart cards. The result of an achievement test after teaching students flow chart showed that the group who took the play-based lesson got their average score with about 7.5% higher than the group who took the ICT-based lesson. Both the groups got their average scroe of more than 9 out of 10 after the lesson. This result shows that flow chart lessons are adaptable for the lower graders of elementary school. It also shows that play-based education can be exceptionally effective.

이 세상에 완전히 새로운 창작물이 있을까? 현존하는 대부분의 창작물은 그 이전의 창작물을 학습하고 분석해서 그 토대 위에 보다 발전적으로 또는 개성 있게 표현한 것들이다. 지난 호에서 설명한 바와 같이, 저작권법은 특허법과 달리 창작성이 있는 표현(expression)을 보호하고 아이디어(idea) 자체는 보호하지 않는다. 그 이유로서, Idea는 창작이라는 빌딩을 지을 때 가장 기초가 되는 벽돌(building blocks)의 역할을 하는 것으로 그 도구를 특정인의 독점하에 두지 않고 만인(public)이 자유롭게 이용함으로써 문화, 예술 및 과학의 발전을 도모할 수 있기 때문이다. 영화나 음악과 같은 문학저작물과 달리 소프트웨어나 게임은 기능성이 강한 저작물로서, 개발자가 소스코드(source code)를 공개하지 않으면 그것의 구조나 운용원리 및 아이디어를 쉽게 이해할 수 없다. 이러한 비공개 소프트웨어의 기능적 구성요소를 이해하기 위해 산업계에서는 역분석(reverse engineering)이란 공정을 활용해 오고 있다. 그런데 아이디어를 얻기 위해 수행된 프로그램역분석 과정은 필연적으로 원프로그램(original program)의 복제를 수반 하게 되므로 그것의 저작권 침해여부가 미국과 유럽 등을 중심으로 뜨겁게 논의돼 왔다. 이에 SW 역분석이 무엇인지 그리고 역분석 을 하면 타인의 저작권을 침해하게 되는 것인지 여부를 소니 플레이스테이션 사건을 중심으로 검토해 봤다. 또한 역분석은 영업비밀을 밝혀내는데 중요한 수단으로서도 사용될 수 있는데, 그것의 법률관계도 함께 살펴봤다.

컴퓨터 기술이 발달되면서, 3D 가상현실을 구현할 수 있는 여러 가지 도구들이 웹이나 개인용 컴퓨터에서 운용되고 있다. 또한 3D 가상현실 기술은 새로운 컴퓨터 응용분야로 전자상거래, 기업홍보, 교육, 의료, 시뮬레이션, 그리고 컴퓨터 게임까지 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 설계자들이 3D 모델링을 하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 요구된다. 따라서 새로운 3D 모델을 개발하는 대신에 기존의 모델을 효과적으로 재사용할 수 있다면 많은 노력과 시간을 절약 할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 이러한 것이 가능하려면 사용자에 의해 정의된 3D 객체를 데이터베이스로부터 관련성이나 유사성이 높은 객체를 찾을 수 있어야한다. 이 논문에서는 에이전트 기법을 사용하여 메타데이터와 온톨로지 정보를 참고하여 3D 모델을 추천하는 시스템을 설계 및 구현 하였다.

BIM(Building Information Modeling) technologies are the most effective for the maintenance of infrastructures because they provide information sharing througout the life-cycle of structures and support close communication between different project stages. Systematic and well-organized data play a fundamental role for the effective maintenance of subway tunnel. In this paper, 3D information models for maintenance of BIM-based subway tunnel structures are developed. Standard classifications for the maintenance and construction information classification system were adopted. A classification system based on construction information classification system was built considering procedures of maintenance work. It provides optimization and standardization of the work flow for the maintenance of subway structures by applying information modeling processes instead of the current maintenance practices. It can effectively reduces the life cycle cost and time for the maintenance. The proposed system can be utilized for the maintenance history management to enhance current maintenance system.
