A lot of electrical energy is used in our daily life. While energy saving concerns are overall, consumption practices of people in general are very different. People want to control their energy use and by knowing the amount of energy they use. Smart plug is a new device that measures electricity usage through each plug at an outlet with on/off control. User experience for electrical devices in regards to electricity usage should be newly designed. In this study, based on the survey, personas have been devised and their energy use experience in relation with smart plugs have been designed. Service models have been designed as well. By designing service with smart plug, user could enhance the experience of energy usage and saving and energy consumption practices could be improved in a sustainable manner.

기존의 이미지 분리 및 합성 과정은 전문 프로그램의 도움을 받아 이미지로부터 사물이나 환경을 분리하거나 합성하여 이루어져 왔으며 생산되는 이미지의 양에서 일반 사용자가 생성하는 이미지의 비중이 높음에도 상대적으로 적은 수의 인원만이 기존 이미지를 분리하고 합성할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 다량의 기존 이미지 내 요소를 손쉽게 분리, 합성하여 새로운 컨텐츠를 제작할 수 있도록 하는 메타데이터 구조와 이를 활용하여 이미지 합성에 대한 사용자 편의성을 높이는 플랫폼을 제안한다. 이는 object segmentation 을 기반으로 이미지의 각 요소를 분리하고 계층화 하여 이루어지며 이미지 합성에 대한 접근성을 높이고 분리된 이미지의 속성을 메타데이터로 함께 표기하여 다량의 기존 이미지에서 필요로 하는 이미지 요소를 빠르게 찾을 수 있도록 한다. 또한 분리된 이미지 요소의 속성을 구체화하기 위해 사용할 수 있는 방법들에 대해 논의한다. 결과적으로 위 제안은 기존 이미지 요소를 분리, 합성하기 위해 필요한 장벽을 낮추는 역할을 수행하여 더 많은 사용자들이 이미지 합성에 참여할 수 있게 할 것으로 기대된다.

최근, 응용 프로그램의 이식성, 확장성, 낮은 오버헤드 및 관리의 용이성 등을 제공하는 컨테이너 기술을 고성능 컴퓨팅 (high performance computing, HPC) 환경에 접목하려는 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 프로그램화된 환경, 즉, 컨테이너 기반의 다수개의 HPC 워크로드들이 동시에 실행되는 환경에서 멀티 프로그래밍 수준, 통신 패턴 및 비율에 따른 HPC 워크로드들의 성능 특성을 분석하고, HPC 워크로드가 실행되는 동일한 컨테이너 그룹에 속한 컨테이너들의 스케쥴링 시간 부조화가 데이터 교환 지연 시간을 증가시키고 그 결과 응용 성능을 크게 저하시킬 수 있음을 확인한다. 또한 HPC 워크로드가 수행되는 동일 그룹 컨테이너들의 CPU 점유 가능값(CPU Shares)을 동적으로 조절하는 휴리스틱을 제안, 적용함으로써, HPC 워크로드의 성능(통신소비시간 최대 약 42.5%, 워크로드 실행시간 최대 약 23.6% 감소)을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인한다.

소셜 네트워크 서비스의 사용자가 늘어나면서, 소셜 네트워크 서비스상에서 발생하는 빅데이터를 활용한 서비스가 늘어나고 있다. 소셜 네트워크 서비스 데이터는 실시간으로 생성되며, 따라서 데이터 수집 시스템 역시 자동화하여 준 실시간으로 데이터를 수집할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 소셜 네트워크 서비스인 트위터의 데이터를 지속적으로 수집하기 위한 자동 수집 시스템을 제안한다. 수집 시스템은 Twitter API 를 활용하는 Python 라이브러리를 통해 내용 및 메타데이터를 수집하며, 수집된 데이터를 재 검증한 뒤 저장한다. 또한 구현된 시스템에 환경 데이터를 주제로 하는 쿼리를 입력하여 실제 트위터 데이터를 수집하며 구현된 시스템을 검증해보았다.

For science applications that requires rapid transfer and sharing of large volume data, many efforts to improve data transfer performance have been made based on concurrency, parallelism and pipelining in data transfer applications such as Globus/GridFTP. In this paper, as a similar trial, experiments have been conducted for the expected transfer throughput enhancement by the increased number of network interface and parallelism in the Mptcp emulation environment and the result is presented.

ICT 기술과 IoT 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인해 인간은 네트워크와 밀접한 관계를 형성하며 이를 통해 다양한 서비스를 경험하고 있다. 그러나 ICT 기술의 발전과 함께 사이버 공격의 급증으로 인해 네트워크 보안에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 또한 양자 컴퓨팅을 활용한 다양한 공격은 기존 암호화 체계를 무너뜨려 빠른 대응 및 솔루션이 필요하다. 양자 기반 공격으로부터 안전한 네트워크 환경을 구축하기 위해 양자 키 분배 시스템 및 양자 내성 암호가 활발히 연구되고 있으며 NIST 에서 발표한 양자 내성 암호화 기법의 성능, 취약점, 실제 네트워크 상의 구현 가능성, 향후 발전 방향 등 다각적 관점에서 연구 및 분석이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 양자 기반 공격에 대해 설명하고 양자 내성 암호화 기법의 연구 동향에 대해 분석한다. 또한, 양자 중첩, 양자 불확실성 등 양자의 물리적 성질을 활용함으로써 양자 공격으로 부터 안정성을 제공할 수 있는 양자 키 분배 기법에 대해 설명한다.

This study is a proposal, which is the trial to explicate, in neurology, on how critical thinking as a creative method of sciences functions. The creative methods of sciences, even at present, are mostly the hypothetical insistences concerning with the logical processes of researches suggested from the philosophers of science; Popper, Kuhn, Hempel, or Lakatos. These insistences do excavate what process or approach can be scoped out of scientists' creativity. I call the tendency or approach of the researches, "Process Approach of Creativity (PAC)". From my view point, any PAC trial does not concern with how creative theories can actually be invented. On the other hand, this study is focused on the philosophical thinking abilities of scientists who invented new great theories. They mostly had some experiences to study philosophy while studying their science fields, thus had critical thinking abilities on their studies. From my point of view, critical thinking in philosophy raised questions as to their fundamental and basic (old) concepts and principles, and thus gave them new creative theories. I will try to explain this from the point of neurophilosophy. From the perspectives coming from "the state space theory of representation" of Paul & Patricia Churchland, the pioneers of neurophilosphy, the "creative theories" are the networks of topographic maps giving new comprehensive explanations and predictions. From these perspectives, I presuppose that the attitude of critical questioning revises the old networks of maps with back-propagation or feedback, and thus, is the generative power of searching new networks of maps. From the presupposition, I can say, it is important that scientists reflect on the basic premises in their academic branches for issuing out extraordinary creativity. The critical attitude of philosophy can make scientists construct the maps of new conceptual scheme by shaking the maps of the old basic premises. From this context, I am able to propose "Critical Thinking Approach of Creativity (CTAC)".

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth characteristics, phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) sprout and investigate the possibility of using super absorbent polymer (SAP) as a medium in hydroponic cultivation in a plant factory. The control was used a commercial sprout cultivation tool (19 × 14 × 9 cm, W × D × L), and a treatment (SAP) was added on the cultivation tool to compare the effect of SAP. Safflower sprouts were immersed in a distilled water at 30 ℃ for 5 hours, and then grown in a plant growth chamber. The temperature and relative humidity were maintained at 25 ± 1℃ and 70 ± 4%, respectively. The light condition was maintained at 35 ± 6 μmol·m-2·s-1 (12h). Amaranth sprouts were grown in a plant growth chamber maintained with temperature of 25 ± 2℃, relative humidity of 70 ± 5% and light condition of 188 ± 10 μmol·m-2·s-1 (16h). A physical and chemical characteristic of SAP, and a germination rate, growth characteristics and secondary metabolites were analyzed in both safflower and amaranth. There was no significant effect on SAP in a germination rate, growth and secondary metabolites of safflower compared to the control, whereas amaranth grown under SAP was higher in germination rate, dry weight, phenolic concentration, and antioxidant capacity compared to the control. As a result, this study was suggested that cultivation of sprouts using SAP would be possible in a plant factory, and further studies on SAP on plant physiological response are required.

There are an increasing emphasis on affective domain, for example interest or belief, in science education. But decreasing interest on learning science and tendency to avoid science-related job are serious problems of secondary science education, especially in case of vocational high school students. However there are few researches for vocational high school students. In this study, preference for science is assumed to be a multidimensional property that reveals ones' behavioral volition and valuation as well as emotional response upon learning science. To investigate vocational high school students' preference for science and its causal factors, a Likert style questionnaire was developed through factor analysis. Students' preference for science was analyzed by 3 categories, and its causal factors are investigated by path analysis using structural equation model.

This study analyze the trend and creativity of entry in chemistry sector of National Science Exhibition. For this study, award-winning entry in chemistry sector of National Science Exhibition during the last five years (2009-2013) were analyzed. The inquiry subject were classified six different items. The creativity evaluation rating of each entry was decided by a survey of the evaluator groups; teachers who participated in the training, winners' teacher. The results turned out as follows: First, In case of trying to choose inquiry subject of entry, it would be better for teacher to guide student into choosing everyday life or natural phenomenon in elementary school level, everyday life or academic area in middle school level, academic area in high school. Second, there was no correlation of creativity rating and actual award rating. Therefore, teacher will need to guide students' research synthetically in a variety of research areas.
