ln competitive electricity market, useful technique would be required to calculate settlement amount for electric power traded between market participants and KPX since a number of market partici-pants would appear and trade electric power. Especially calculation of constrained on/off compensation amount can be complicated, and needs to be understood clearly by market participants to avoid unnecessary disputes. This paper presents a technique to settle more easily constrained on/off compensation amount using surplus function. In this technique, a surplus is calculated by each dispatched values and then the compen-sation amount is calculated by the difference of each surpluses. By doing this, settlement amount can be cal-culated by summing the trading amount and the compensation amount.

In this paper, we proposed an enhanced Max-Min neural network by auto-tuning of learning rate using fuzzy control method. For the reduction of training time required in the competition stage, the method was proposed that arbitrates dynamically the learning rate by applying the numbers of the accuracy and the inaccuracy to the input of the fuzzy control system. The experiments using real concrete crack images showed that the enhanced Max-Min neural network was effective in the recognition of direction of the extracted cracks.

The development of competitive new product is essential in competitiveness power of modern enterprises. The enterprises need to develop new products for its continuous growth. In this paper, a new product development process which reflect voice of customer in design of the product is suggested. Delighters in Kano's quality model are applied in primary design step. In the main design step, we analyze that whether Kano's primary satisfiers satisfy the customer needs which was found using Timko's customer satisfaction coefficient. It is shown that Kano's delighters and Timko's customer satisfaction coefficient are very effective in new product development.

Since wireless sensor networks consist of nodes with the constrained battery, energy efficient MAC operation is one of the important issues. Low duty cycle operation is critical to conserve energy in wireless sensor network MAC protocol. Some paper proposed a new approach to low power listening, which employs a short preamble to further reduce energy consumption and to reduce latency. But short preamble suffers from unfair channel access problem since there was no consideration for contention between transmission nodes. Preamble counting proposes a solution to each of these problems by employing node selection information. Simulation results show that the preamble counting provides an improved energy efficiency and fairness of packet delivery.

In this paper, we propose a new opportunistic routing scheme based on timed bargaining game. The proposed algorithm effectively formulates the opportunistic routing mechanism as an repeated bargaining model using timed learning method. Additionally, we formulate a new contention window adjusting scheme for reduce collision rate. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme has excellent performance than other existing schemes under widely diverse VANET environments.

Korean construction companies has maintained stable market share based on high technology and cost competitiveness although international construction market has been stalled due to increasingly global economy uncertainties. In order to promote the continuous growth and development of overseas construction, Korean construction companies need to secure overseas market information, and to be strongly competitive. Therefore, this study aims to analysis of competitiveness for international construction by business types, in order to enter the Vietnamese infrastructure market, which presents abundant development potential. According to the IPA results, Korean construction industry has weaknesses in its ability to obtain business information and experience, which are the most important factors in entering the overseas construction market, and also presents a lack of feasibility study for creating new construction business. However, this work is still considered to provide the basic data that can help Korean construction companies who plan to enter the Vietnamese infrastructure market strengthen their medium and long-term capabilities.

It is difficult to support QoS service in existing MAC Protocols in Wireless Mesh Network environments. while DCF can not support QoS, EDCA is operated with prioritized channel access method but can not give full performance. This thesis proposes frame management method to support QoS in Multi-Media DCF(MMDCF) MAC Protocol working in wireless mesh network. MMDCF uses ACH phase in TDMA frame to perform selection and elimination. Prioritized phases's count m and Fair Elimination phases's count n determine contention level and make string probability to only one win the contention. Forced TDMA Frame release method can support QoS requirements. MMDCF results good performance and good channel efficiency to support QoS requirements better than EDCA in multimedia stream environments.

As the growth of the live streaming service market is accelerating due to COVID-19, the number of downloads and reviews of live streaming mobile applications is also rapidly skyrocketing. This study is to research game streaming applications using Twitch reviews as database. A total of 8 topics are extracted through LDA topic modeling and 7 out of them are detected to be inconvenience factors. Then, to pinpoint the main inconvenience factors, co-occurrence analysis is used in order to find out main factors. Finally, based on previous studies, several solutions are provided, which can solve the inconvenience factors(advertisement, UI design, technology problems) as well as strengthening digital competitiveness. This study will serve as an opportunity to improve digital competitiveness not only for Twitch but also for other game live streaming service companies in the future.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the competitiveness of the logistics industry of three countries - Korea, China and Japan - by looking into their logistics industry structure and the related regulations. For this aim, the paper examined the modal distribution of transportation, transport infrastructure, freight cost structure and regulation in transport sector in these countries. Furthermore, this study suggests some proposals for the further cooperation to bring sustainable progress in the logistics sector across Northeast Asia. The main suggestions of this paper are as follows: First, Korean government needs to strategize its options in the logistics industry, the most competitive in the country’s service sector, in upcoming FTA negotiations with China and Japan. Second, Korea needs to foster Busan into a strategic point for the Rail Ferry System and Road Feeder System. Third, Korea should participate in establishing shuttle flight service in Northeast Asia amid exploding flight demand from active economic interchange and tourism industry development.

The number of customers on Social Network Services(SNS) is rapidly increasing with the spread of smartphones. As of 2018, about 2.7 billion people of the world population (about 7.1 billion people) and more than 31.2 million people of the total population of South Korea (about 50.1 million) use SNS. There are several studies have been conducted on increasing SNS market. Most of them, however, were not quantitative but qualitative studies. This study is conducted on domestic SNS market to identify the competitive relationship among SNS platforms with great proportion in South Korea, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The objective is to suggest some hypotheses of the competitive relations, test them, and finally verify the trend of domestic SNS market. Competitive Lotka-Volterra (LV) model is used to find out the competitive relationships and Moving Window is also used to show the changes of them over time. In order to test the hypotheses on the relationships, some experiments are performed with Moving Window technique. Thus, the relations among the platforms and the changes of them over time are identified.
