The purpose of this study is to find important personal characteristics that affect search process and outcome, and to formulate causal models about searching behavior, by examining the channels and the magnitude of the factors identified. The study was designed to conduct a quasi-experiment with 67 student subjects. A total of 29 elements concerned with aptitude, personality, formal education, effectiveness of online training, search process, and search outcome are measured and reduced to 9 variables. 12 hypotheses were tested statistically and path analysis was done to investigate causal relationship among variables. Finally 5 models were formulated.

Search strategies is a means to make an efficient search. Among several studies of search strategy, Bates' $\ulcorner$Search Tactics$\lrcorner$ has been often cited and introduced, but their studies have been superficial. In this paper, the contents of Bates' $\ulcorner$Search Tactics$\lrcorner$ are examined in detail, and we try to represent the actual online search process based upon Bates' $\ulcorner$Search Tactics$\lrcorner$. The following three kinds of survey are made in order to clarify which and how tactics are used: (1) Interview with 7 searchers who belong to different types of organizations, and use different kinds of databases (2) Analysis of some online search records. (3) Analysis of written applications for a newspaper database during one year. In conclusion, Bates' tactics falls into categories and new several tactics which often used are added. The following five factors affect online search activities, search strategy, and search tactics. (1) the difficulty of search requests (2) the kinds of databases (3) the charging policy for each online search (4) the presence of the user during the search (5) the searcher' online experience In the limited condition, typical tactics are suggested, but in order to generalize the pattern of using tactics, further investigation is necessary.

In this paper, we propose a novel database creation and retrieval method of feature descriptors to support real-time marker-less tracking in the augmented reality environments. Each feature descriptor is encoded by integer and multi-level database is created in order to retrieve a feature descriptor efficiently. The retrieval of a feature descriptor is performed as follows: Firstly, candidate feature descriptors are searched by traversing the multi-level database. Secondly, the euclidean distance between input feature descriptor and each candidate one is compared. The shortest one is retrieved. The proposed method is 16 ms faster than previous KD-Tree method for each feature descriptor.

본 논문은 디지털 도서관에서 임의의 음악정보를 효율적으로 검색하기 위한 시스템을 제안한다. 종래의 전형적인 음악정보 검색 항목인 제목이나 작곡자 또는 주제를 입력하는 것이 아니라, 사용자가 음악 데이터베이스로부터 검색하고자 하는 음악의 일부를 마이크를 통해서 노래한다. 그러면 입력된 선율에 대한 음 신호를 처리하여 음표정보를 인식하고, 이를 바탕으로 음정곡선을 생성하여 이를 탐색 패턴으로 사용한다. 동요를 대상으로 하여 음악 데이터베이스를 생성할 때는 각각의 곡에서 추출한 음정곡선을 이용하여 색인과 메타 데이터를 생성하는데, 색인은 유사 탐색을 용이하게 하기 위해서 Trie 구조를 사용한다. 탐색패턴을 이용해서 메타 데이터를 탐색할 때는 동적 프로그래밍 방법을 이용하여 유사 탐색을 함으로써 노래의 어느 마리를 부르더라도 쉽게 후보곡을 검색할 수 있도록 한다. 통상음악의 첫째 동기를 부르는 경우가 많기 때문에 첫째 악절로 구성한 색인을 먼저 탐색토록하고, 색인에서 탐색을 실패한 경우(음악의 첫째 동기 이후를 부른 경우)에 메타 데이터를 이용한 유사 음표열 탐색을 하도록 하여 효율적인 검색이 되도록 하였다.

This is an exploratory study targeting initial users to evaluate the usability of an aggregator-supplied full-text database and to analyze the differences in task performance and perceptions based on participant characteristics. The differences in completion time and perceptions on ease of use, terminology, subject categories and satisfaction were analyzed based on the participant characteristics such as Kolb learning style, gender and participation in user instruction on full-text databases. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in completion time based on the Kolb learning style. Also a statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on ease of use and terminology based on gender. However no statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on the usability of the database based on the participation in user instruction.

In order to achieve optimal retrieval, i.e., to find the best match to a query according to a certain similarity measure, the exhaustive search should be performed literally for all the images in a database. However, the straightforward exhaustive search algorithm is computationally expensive in large image databases. To reduce its heavy computational cost, this paper presents a fast exhaustive multi-resolution search algorithm based on image database clustering. Firstly, the proposed algorithm partitions the whole image data set into a pre-defined number of clusters having similar feature contents. Next, for a given query, it checks the lower bound of distances in each cluster, eliminating disqualified clusters. Then, it only examines the candidates in the remaining clusters. To alleviate unnecessary feature matching operations in the search procedure, the distance inequality property is employed based on a multi-resolution data structure. The proposed algorithm realizes a fast exhaustive multi-resolution search for either the best match or multiple best matches to the query. Using luminance histograms as a feature, we prove that the proposed algorithm guarantees optimal retrieval with high searching speed.

Due to the recent advancement of cloud computing, the research on database outsourcing has been actively done. Moreover, the number of users who utilize Location-based Services(LBS) has been increasing with the development in w ireless communication technology and mobile devices. Therefore, LBS providers attempt to outsource their spatial database to service provider, in order to reduce costs for data storage and management. However, because unauthorized access to sensitive data is possible in spatial database outsourcing, it is necessary to study on the preservation of a user's privacy. Thus, we, in this paper, propose a spatial data encryption scheme to produce outsourced database from an original database. We also propose a k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm that efficiently performs k-NN by using the outsourced database. Finally, we show from performance analysis that our algorithm outperforms the existing one.

The study aims at understanding that the precedent information search Patterns of on-line database users compared to non-users have an effect on user satisfaction. The research team analyzed S college students' library system use patterns to evaluate the efficiency of library information services and systems and therefore to diverse factors to improve user satisfaction. The research showed higher satisfaction from on-line system users than non-users. To satisfy user needs the research recommends more devices access methods to information.

본 논문은 디지털 음악 도서관에서 입력된 음성을 인식하여 생성한 음곡선에 의해 임의의 음악정보를 효율적으로 검색하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 종래의 전형적인 음악정보 검색 항목인 제목이나 작곡자 또는 주제를 입력하는 것이 아니라, 사용자가 음악 데이터베이스로부터 검색하고자 하는 음악의 일부를 마이크를 통해서 노래한다. 그러면 입력된 음성에 대한 음 신호를 처리하여 음표정보를 인식하고, 이를 바탕으로 음정 곡선을 생성하여 이를 탐색 패턴으로 사용한다. 제안한 검색 알고리즘은 일반적으로 근사 탐색을 위해 많이 사용하는 동적 프로그래밍 방법과 함께 실험을 통해 탐색 시간을 비교하여 향상된 탐색 시간을 보인다.

본 연구는 인지양식이 온라인 학습의 성취도에 영향을 미치는 요인중의 하나라는 선행연구 결과들을 토대로, 인지양식이 온라인 정보탐색능력에도 영향을 미치는지 그리고 어떤 다른 개인적인 특성들이 온라인 정보탐색행위와 연관성이 있는지 고찰 하였다. 연구 대상은 대학원 석사과정과 박사과정에 재학중인 학생 36명이었으며, 인지양식검사와 Ellis와 Haugan (1997)의 정보탐색행위 모델에 근거하여 연구자에 의해 제작된 설문조사를 실시하였다. 학생들에게 연구 주제를 주고 온라인상에서 정보를 탐색하도록 시켰으며, 이들의 정보탐색행위 과정과 특성을 관찰하고 기록하였다. 인지양식검사 결과와 설문조사 결과를 양적 분석하고, 정보탐색행위 과정과 특성에 관한 질적 분석한 결과에 의하면, 개인의 인지양식과 온라인시스템을 이용한 정보탐색능력과는 아무런 상관관계가 없었다. 반면에, 정보탐색행위는 컴퓨터 이용 능력, 온라인 도서관 시스템 사용경험/능력과 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 검색한 정보에 대한 만족도는 정보탐색에 보내는 시간과 반비례 상관관계를 가지며, 대부분의 학습자들이 총 8단계의 정보탐색과정 중 " Browsing" 단계에 대부분의 시간을 보내는 것으로 관찰 되었다. 끝으로 대부분의 학생들이 도서관 시스템 사용능력에 높은 효능감을 보였지만, 학교 온라인도서관 시스템이 사용하기 편리하지 않도록 설계되어있다고 대답했으며, 자신들의 연구를 위해서 인터넷 검색엔진보다는 도서관 데이터베이스를 더 자주 사용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
