In this paper, an H.263 video codec is implemented by adopting the concept of hardware and software co-design. Each module of the codec is investigated to find which approach between hardware and software is better to achieve real-time processing speed as well as flexibility. The hardware portion includes motion-related engines, such as motion estimation and compensation, and a memory control part. The remaining portion of theH.263 video codec is implemented in software using a RISC processor. This paper also introduces efficient design methods for hardware and software modules. In hardware, an area-efficient architecture for the motion estimator of a multi-resolution block matching algorithm using multiple candidates and spatial correlation in motion vector fields (MRMCS), is suggested to reduce the chip size. Software optimization techniques are also explored by using the statistics of transformed coefficients and the minimum sum of absolute difference (SAD)obtained from the motion estimator.

In this paper, label assignment schemes considering the IP flow model for the efficient MPLS traffic engineering are proposed and evaluated. Based on the IP flow model, the IP flows are classified into transient flows and base flows. Base flows, which last for a long time, transmit data in high bit rate, and be composed of many packets, have good implications for the MPLS traffic engineering, because they usually cause network congestion. To make use of base flows for the MPLS traffic engineering, we propose two base flow classifiers and label assignment schemes where transient flows are allocated to the default LSPs and base flows to explicit LSPs. Proposed schemes are based on the traffic-driven label triggering method combined with a routing tabel. The first base flow classifier uses both flow size in packet counts and routing entries, and the other one, extending the dynamic X/Y flow classifier, is based on a cut-through ratio. Proposed schemes are shown to minimize the number of labels, not degrading the total cut-through ratio.

Depending on the launch of the emotional generation, many researches developing the automobile preference color which reflects the preference color of the consumers are advanced. This study investigate preferred colors and emotional image of the car color reflecting the product design and consuming psychology. According to surveyed ages and gender, there are eight categories (women/20 's, 30 "s, 40 's, and 50 's and men/20 's, 30 "s, 40 's, and 50 's) based on the 30 persons. Preferred color is black, white, sky blue, purple, pink, and orange order. If black, white and gray are excluded, remained in the order of blue, yellow, and purple. There are big deferences on preference color when emotional preference color of cars is showed or not. Practically, the preference color is following in sensitivity. However the car image is recognized actually with conservativeness, they hesitates selection of the bright chromatic color car.

The purpose of this study is to improve the learning speed of an ammunition stockpile reliability classification artificial neural network model by proposing a normalization method that reduces the number of input variables based on the characteristic of Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program (ASRP) data without loss of classification performance. Ammunition's performance requirements are specified in the Korea Defense Specification (KDS) and Ammunition Stockpile reliability Test Procedure (ASTP). Based on the characteristic of the ASRP data, input variables can be normalized to estimate the lot percent nonconforming or failure rate. To maintain the unitary hypercube condition of the input variables, min-max normalization method is also used. Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of general min-max normalization and proposed 2-step normalization is over 0.95 and speed-up for marching learning based on ASRP field data is improved 1.74 ~ 1.99 times depending on the numbers of training data and of hidden layer's node.

The purpose of this study is to elaborate the underlying mechanism by which information competency of those with disabilities influences their level of life satisfaction through a mediator, social capital built up through online and offline activities. To this end, the research conducts mediation analysis, comprised of three sets of regression by using the data of the "2018 Report on the Digital Divide." The results demonstrate that the information competency of those with disabilities has a significant effect on their level of life satisfaction; the higher the information competency, the greater the social capital. In addition, social capital partially mediates the relationship between information competency and life satisfaction. The policy implications from this study indicate that the efforts to improve information competency of those with disabilities should be made in a way that facilitates social interactions and community participation.

This research proposes the method to develop the recommendation system of automobile parts using task ontology technology. The proposed intelligent recommendation system is designed to learn the assembly process of automobile parts and the automobile parts are composed by ontology method for the recommendation of the parts. Using hierarchical taxonomy based on is-a relationship, the relationship between each part that makes up automotive engine was set. Each part has each different weighted value according to the knowledge of automobile experts. The weighted value is created by the number of selection that the users of the automobile recommendation system select while using the system and the final value calculated by the multiplication of the weighted value, which is recorded within the system. As a result, the users can easily identify which factor in which part is important by the output in the order of the priority. The intelligent recommendation system for automobile parts is a system to inform of the assembly, the usage and the importance of automobile parts without any specialized knowledge by expressing the parts that are closely related with the applicable parts when selecting any part on the basis of the generated data for the automobile parts that are difficult to access by users.

In Semantic Web, metadata and ontology for representing semantics and conceptual relationships of information resources are essential factors. RDF and RDF Schema are W3C standard models for describing metadata and ontology. Therefore, many studies to store and retrieve RDF and RDF Schema documents are required. In this paper, we focus on some results of analyzing available query patterns considering both RDF and RDF Schema and classify queries on RDF and RDF Schema into the three patterns. RDF and RDF Schema can be represented as graph models. So, we proposed some strategies to store and retrieve using the graph models of RDF and RDF Schema. We can retrieve entities that can be arrived from a certain class or property in RDF and RDF Schema without a loss of performance on account of multiple joins with tables.

In this study, I would like to suggest a new model of web navigation design which can enhance old-aged users web usability. I would like to prove that when users enjoy web navigation design, older-users access information much more effectively. Using a survey, suggest some types of web navigation designed for old-aged users. After that, based on the result of the prepatory survey, I conducted an experiment with 4 types of web navigation designs, which have been developed to reflect varying stages of comprehensibility. My survey focused three points. First I tested whether they lost their way while searching for information. Secondly, if they did lose their way, I checked whether they could recover from their errors and find their way back. Thirdly, I investigated whether layout, location and size of the web navigation design factors affected usability. The results of my survey indicated that old-aged users spend the shortest time, have the easiest interface, and have least error incidence under the web navigation design to enhance old-aged users web usability.Thus, developing a web navigation design for old-aged users can encourage older people to be more involved with the internet, especially in the aging society.

To accomplish the educational objectives of a department, a system for CQI(Continuous Quality Improvement) is necessary. Improving the educational system by survey analysis is one of the most important factors for accomplishing the educational objectives. In general, survey analysis is carried out by using statistical distribution on an attribute or correlation analysis between two attributes. However, these analysis schemes have a limitation that they cannot find relations among various attributes. In this paper, an in-depth survey analysis method applying data mining techniques is presented. Data mining is a technique for extracting interesting knowledges from a large set of data. Survey from undergraduate students in the School of Computing of Soongsil University is analyzed in this paper by using a data mining tool, called Clementine. Results of Clementine analysis show the relationship between 'grade', and other attributes hierarchically, and provide useful information that can be applied in student consulting and program improvement.

In this paper, we design a semantic-based syllabus template including learning ontologies. A syllabus has been considered as a important blueprint of teaching in universities. However, the current syllabus has no importance in real world because most of all syllabus management systems provide simple functionalities such as, creation, modification, and retrieval. In this paper, our approach consists of definition of hierarchical structure of syllabus and semantic relationships of syllabuses, formalization of learning goals, learning activity, and learning evaluation using Bloom's taxonomy and design of learning subject ontologies for improving the usability of syllabus. We prove the correctness of our proposed methods according to implementing a real syllabus for JAVA programing course and experiments for retrieving syllabuses.
