This paper suggests prototype of dialog system combining VXML(VoiceXML) that is the W3C's standard XML format for specifying interactive voice dialogues between human and computer, and RSS(RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) that is representative technology of semantic web for syndication and subscription of updated web-contents. Merits of the proposed system are as following: 1) It is a new method that recognize spoken contents using ire and wireless telephone networks and then provide contents to user via STT(Speech-to-Text) and TTS(Text-to-Speech) instead of traditional method using web only. 2) It can apply advantage of RSS that subscription of updated contents is converted to VXML without modifying traditional method to provide RSS service, 3) In terms of users, it can reduce restriction on time-spate in search of contents that is provided by RSS because it uses ire and wireless telephone networks, not internet environment. 4) In terms of information provider, it does not need special component for syndication of the newest contents using speech recognition and synthesis technology. We implemented a news service system using VXML and RSS for performance evaluation of the proposed system. In experiment results, we estimated the response time and the speech recognition rate in subscription and search of actuality contents, and confirmed that the proposed system can provide contents those are provided using RSS Feed.

1970년대에 개발된 마이크로 프로세서는 제어기기 분야 및 소형 컴퓨터에서 주로 사용되어 오다가 1980년대에 이르러 RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) 구조의 도입으로 중대형 컴퓨터에 이르기까지 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 또한 반도체 기술의 급격한 발전으로 슈퍼스칼라 구조가 마이크로 프로세서에서도 적용되고 있으며 동작 속도도 수백 MHz에 이르고 있다. 마이크로 프로세서는 프로그램을 수행하기 위해서 프로그램과 데이터를 메모리로부터 읽어 와야 한다. 그런데 메모리 용량은 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있지만 동작 속도는 마이크로 프로세서의 동작 속도에 크게 미치지 못하고 있다. 1980년에 DRAM의 접근 속도는 250nsec이었으나 1998년에 RDRAM의 동작속도는 300MHz로 70여배 빨라졌다. 그러나 마이크로프로세서는 1980년에 8086의 동작 속도가 8MHz이던 것이 1998년에는 팬티엄-2가 500MHz에 이르고 있다. 더욱이 팬티엄-2는 슈퍼스칼라 구조이므로 이를 감안하면 1GHz 이상에 이르러 120여 배 빨라진 것을 알 수 있다. 이와 같은 메모리 속도와 마이크로 프로세서 속도 차이에 더하여, 메모리와 마이크로 프로세서를 인쇄 회로 기판에서 연결하는데 따른 물리적 특성은 변화하지 않으므로 데이터 전송 폭을 넓히는 것에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 향후 컴퓨터 성능 발달을 제한하는 주요 요소 중 하나는 마이크로 프로세서와 메모리 사이의 데이터 전송 폭이다. 프로그램과 데이터가 메모리에 저장되는 본 뉴먼 방식의 컴퓨터에서 데이터 전송 폭을 줄이기 위해서는 코드 밀도(Code Density)가 높은 컴퓨터 구조를 연구하는 것이 필요하다. 한편 마이크로 프로세서는 실장 제어용으로 거의 모든 전자 제품 및 자동화 기기에서 채용하고 있다. 특히 냉장고, 에어콘, 전축, TV, 세탁기 등 가전기기와 Fax, 복사기, 프린터 등 사무용기기와 자동차, 선박, 자동화기계 등 사무 및 산업용 기기와 PDA(휴대용 정보 기기), NC(Network Computer) 등 정보 기기 그리고 각종 오락기, 노래 반주지 등 정보 기기 등에서 사용하는 실장 제어용 마이크로 프로세서 시장은 매년 10% 이상씩 성장하고 있으며, 21세기 산업을 주도하는 핵심 기술로 자리 매김하고 있다. 이러한 실장 제어용 기기는 마이크로 프로세서와 메모리 및 입출력 자이가 하나의 반도체에 집적되는 경우가 많다. 그런데 반도체 가격은 반도체 크기에 따라 결정되며, 가장 넓은 면적을 차지하는 것은 메모리이다. 따라서 반도체 가격을 낮추기 위해서는 메모리 크기를 줄여야 하며, 이를 위해서 또한 코드 밀도가 높은 컴퓨터 구조에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 최근에는 322비트 RISC 명령어를 16비트 명령어로 축약한 구조가 연구되었다. ARM-7TDMI는 ARM-7의 16비트 축약 명령어 구조이며, TR4101은 MIPS-R3000의 16비트 축약 명령어 구조이다. 이들 16비트 축약 명령어 RISC는 종래 RISC와의 호환성을 위하여 2가지 모드로 동작하므로 구조가 복잡하고, 16비트 명령어에서는 8개의 레지스타만을 접근할 수 있으므로 성능이 크게 떨어지는 단점을 가진다.

With the rapid development of block chain technology, attempts have been made to put the block chain technology into practical use in various fields such as finance and logistics, and also in the public sector where data integrity is very important. Defense Operations In addition, strengthening security and ensuring complete integrity of the command communication network is crucial for operational operation under the network-centered operational environment (NCOE). For this purpose, it is necessary to construct a command communication network applying the block chain network. However, the block chain technology up to now can not solve the security issues such as the 51% attack. In particular, the Practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) algorithm which is now widely used in blockchain, does not have a penalty factor for nodes that behave maliciously, and there is a problem of failure to make a consensus even if malicious nodes are more than 33% of all nodes. In this paper, we propose a Adaptive Consensus Bound PBFT (ACB-PBFT) algorithm that incorporates a penalty mechanism for anomalous behavior by combining the Trust model to improve the security of the PBFT, which is the main agreement algorithm of the blockchain.

This study was aimed to develop catalytic system for the dry-based reduction of oxidized mercury ($Hg^{2+}$) to elemental mercury ($Hg^0$) which is one of the most important components comprising mercury continuous emission monitoring system (Hg-CEMS). Based on the standard potential in oxidation-reduction reaction, transition metals including Fe, Cu, Ni and Co were selected as possible candidates for catalyst proceeding spontaneous reduction of $Hg^{2+}$ into $Hg^0$. These transition metal catalysts revealed high activity for reduction of $Hg^{2+}$ into $Hg^0$ in the absence of oxygen in reactant gases. However, their activities were greatly decreased in the presence of oxygen, which was attributed to the transformation of transition metals by oxygen to the corresponding transition metal oxides with less catalytic activity for the reduction of oxidized mercury. Hydrogen supplied to the reactant gases significantly enhanced $Hg^{2+}$ reduction activity even in the presence of oxygen. It might be due to occurrence of combustion reaction between $H_2$ and $O_2$ causing the consumption of $O_2$ at such high reaction temperature at which oxidized mercury reduction reaction took place. Because the system showed high activity for $Hg^{2+}$ reduction to $Hg^0$, which was compatible to that of wet-chemistry technology using $SnCl_2$ solution, the catalytic reduction system of Fe catalyst with the supply of $H_2$ could be employed as a commercial system for the reduction of oxidized mercury to elemental mercury.

In this study, the two-dimensional flow analysis model Hydro_AS-2D model was used to simulate the situation of flooding in Seongsangu and Uichang-gu in Changwon in the event of rising sea levels and extreme flooding, and the results were expressed on three-dimensional topography and the optimal evacuation path was derived using BIM technology. Climate change significantly affects two factors in terms of flood damage: rising sea levels and increasing extreme rainfall ideas. The rise in sea level itself can not only have the effect of flooding coastal areas and causing flooding, but it also raises the base flood level of the stream, causing the rise of the flood level throughout the stream. In this study, the rise of sea level by climate change, the rise of sea level by storm tidal wave by typhoon, and the extreme rainfall by typhoon were set as simulated conditions. The three-dimensional spatial information of the entire basin was constructed using the information of topographical space in Changwon and the information of the river crossing in the basic plan for river refurbishment. Using BIM technology, the target area was constructed as a three-dimensional urban information model that had information such as the building's height and location of the shelter on top of the three-dimensional topographical information, and the results of the numerical model were expressed on this model and used for analysis for evacuation planning. In the event of flooding, the escape route is determined by an algorithm that sets the path to the shelter according to changes in the inundation range over time, and the set path is expressed on intuitive three-dimensional spatial information and provided to the user.

In the countries operating nuclear reactors, the development of high-level radioactive waste(HLW) disposal technique is considered as an urgent and important issue for sustainable utilization of nuclear energy. In Korea, in which a low and intermediate radioactive waste repository is already operating, the construction of an underground research laboratory for in situ validation studies became a matter of interest with increasing concerns on the management of HLW. In order to construct and to operate an underground HLW repository safely in deep underground, the stability of rock mass should be guaranteed. As an important factor on rock stability, excavation damaged zone (EDZ) has been studied in many underground research laboratories in foreign countries. For accurate evaluation of the characteristics and effects of EDZ under disposal condition, it is required to use reliable investigation method based on the analysis of previous studies in similar conditions. In this study, status of foreign underground research laboratories in other countries, approaches for investigation the characteristics, size, and effect of EDZ, and major findings from the researches were surveyed and reported. This will help the accomplishment of domestic researches for developing HLW management techniques in underground research laboratory.

Due to science and technology evolutions, modern systems are becoming larger and more complex. In developing complex systems, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), which is approach to reduce complexity, is being introduced and applied to various system domains. However, because of the modeling being made through a variety of languages, there is a problem with communication within the stakeholders and a lack of consistency in the models. In this paper, by investigating the rule explaining the transformation of one of the only traditional diagrams, DFD, to SysML and reusing the formerly built models, we attempt to implement by SysML. Analyzing each diagram's Metamodel and validating the connection of each component through bipartite graph especially suggest an effective transformation rule. Also, by applying to naval-combat system, we confirm efficiency of this study. Establishing the results of this study as basis for conducting further study, we will be able to transform other previous models gained from formerly built system to SysML. In this way, the stakeholder's communication can be improved and we anticipate that the application of SysML will be beneficial to the much efficient MBSE.

China, the world's largest $CO_2$ producer, is likely to be obligated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the post-Kyoto protocol. This paper estimates a Shephard input distance function for the Chinese fossil-fueled power generation sector to measure the shadow price of $CO_2$ emissions, technical efficiency, and indirect Morishima elasticities of substitution between inputs. Empirical results show that, on average, it costs approximately 3.2 US dollars per year to reduce $CO_2$ emissions by one ton over the period 1981-2009. This finding indicates that Chinese power sector is expected to benefit from selling emission permits to other countries such as Korea and Japan, given that our estimate for China is lower than the ones previous literatures estimated for the power sector in these countries. The maximum attainable average $CO_2$ reduction potential amounts to approximately 25 million tons per year by improving technical efficiency. Capital is substitutable with both coal and oil and capital is relatively more readily substituted for these fuels.
