Recently, MTC (Machine Type Communication) is known as an important part to support IoT (Internet of Things) applications. MTC provides network connectivities between MTC devices without human intervention. In MTC, a large number of devices try to access over communication resource with a short period of time. Due to the limited communication resource, resource contention becomes severe and it brings about access failures of devices. To solve the problem, it needs to regulate device accesses. In this paper, we present an efficient access management scheme. We measure the number of devices which try to access in a certain time period and predict the change of the number of devices in the next time period. Using the predicted change, we control the number of devices which try to access. To verify our scheme, we conduct experiments in terms of success probability, failure probability, collision probability and access delay.

Recently, as various cases of using deep learning in the health-care field are increasing, functions such as electrocardiogram examination and body composition analysis through wearable device can be provided to provide rational decision-making and a process tailored to the individual. In order to utilize deep learning, it it most important to secure refined data, and this data is being made through human intervention or unsupervised learning. In this paper, we propose a model that conducts unsupervised learning by clusters according to gender and age using human body data such as chest and waist circumferences, which are easy to measure, and classifies them with CNN. For data, the 7th human body data provided by Korean Agency for Technology and Standards was used. Through this, it it thought that it can be applied to various application cases such as personalized body shape management service and obesity analysis.

Accurate segmentation of histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) is a crucial task for disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, conventional automated segmentation algorithms may not always be applicable to WSI segmentation due to their large size and variations in tissue appearance, staining, and imaging conditions. Recent advances in interactive segmentation, which combines human expertise with algorithms, have shown promise to improve efficiency and accuracy in WSI segmentation but also presented us with challenging issues. In this paper, we propose a novel interactive segmentation method, ZoomISEG, that leverages multi-resolution WSIs. We demonstrate the efficacy and performance of the proposed method via comparison with conventional single-scale methods and an ablation study. The results confirm that the proposed method can reduce human interaction while achieving accuracy comparable to that of the brute-force approach using the highest-resolution data.

Due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the influence applied to all areas of our society is continuing to develop at a rapid pace as the days go by. Recently, in the field of legal services, artificial intelligence technology has been introduced mainly in the United States, an advanced country, leading innovation in the legal market. As such, artificial intelligence is expected to rapidly grow as a means of replacing people, leaving the auxiliary role of people at a rapid pace, and the purpose of this study is to examine necessary measures for Korean professional legal professionals to survive in this legal market. After analyzing it based on prior research by domestic researchers and various data in Korea, the law was revised to prohibit non-lawyers from handling legal affairs, active state intervention in public information cases, and ways for the state and the private sector to check each other. Therefore, the above research is expected to throw a lot of discussion points in terms of legal services using artificial intelligence in the future.

This article reviews a few academic discussions in our geological society. The author presents his opinion on the discussions regarding the ages of the Okcheon Group, Myogog Formation, and hominid footprints of the Jeju Island, as well as on the inaccurate reportage in mass media. The academia advances via healthy debates and discussions. The arguments for and against Darwin's "Origin of Species" and scientific debates regarding Wegener's "Continental Drift Hypothesis" are well known. In academic debates or discussions, authority should not be involved in any form. Academic research should be conducted based on scientific principles and evidence-free of personal preferences or other nonacademic factors. Opponents should challenge with scientific approaches, suggesting alternatives based on science. Opposition without scientific basis is not productive in conducting academic research in search of scientific truth. Often, the news media delivers inaccurate information to the public-intentionally or unintentionally. There must be a mechanism to immediately identify and rectify inaccurate, false, or fake information for the benefit of the public and the credibility of the news media.

In this paper, the author interprets Juyeok (The Book of Changes) as a philosophical book on self-culture instead of a book on divination. Juyeok, originally, was a book on divination written to tell fortunes; however, it has been a rich source producing the discourse of the humanities. This is because it has a unique system of linguistic symbols. Gwae-Hyo (Hexagrams and Horizontal Lines) system of Juyeok has a number of symbolic features, and there is too much room for new philosophical, cultural interpretations. Thus, Juyeok can be applied to any information and events, and it can, accordingly, help solve the problems of life we are facing. Moreover, Juyeok's unique characteristics are revealed very well in active intervention of persons who read and interpret it. Carl Gustav Jung is the very person who argued that one should interpret Juyeok through this active intervention. In the foreword of Juyeok translated by Richard Wilhelm, he mentions a possibility of the interpretation of Juyeok applying 'synchronicity.' According to him, Juyeok is a material not to predict the future or tell the fate ordained, but to look back on oneself or find the solutions of problems oneself. It allows the inquirer to interpret Gwae-Hyo-Sa (Explanations) not simply through the result of fortune-telling but the act of telling one's fortune. He applies 'synchronicity' to the finding of answers to one's problems in the given Gwae-Hyo-Sa. Synchronicity refers to 'the principle of non-causal relationship explaining a phenomenon of meaningful coincidence.' Here, simultaneity, unlike contingency the principle of causality refers to, means 'meaningful coincidence.' He presents a theory that the divination signs derived from Gwae-Hyo-Sang (Images) through synchronicity is a reflection of the psychology of the unconscious the fortune-teller or a man who receives the results of the divination signs has under certain circumstances on the outside. This is because Jung interprets it like this because the way of communication of Juyeok using symbolic language is not direct but indirect. Juyeok's system of symbolic language aims not at delivering objective knowledge, but the reader's self-transformation. This point can be applied in clinical philosophy. People who suffer from agony and pain in their daily lives may find meaningful and helpful advice for themselves no matter what Gwae-Hyo-Sa they choose in Juyeok. This is because it was originally hidden in their inner space and just revealed concretely through Gwae-Hyo-Sang or Gwae-Hyo-Sa in Juyeok. In this sense, we connect the meaning Gwae-Hyo-Sang or Sa contains from Juyeok to their circumstances, read counsel or advice needed ourselves and make it our own to be able to have power to change and help ourselves. And at this very point may be evaluated as an important role of Juyeok.

This essay begins by discussing the issue of the definition of a catastrophe as a trauma by visual media and the problems that result. We assume a concrete approach towards these problems by examining the process through which 9/11 was defined as a "national trauma" in the exclusion of images of bodies falling from towers, which were some of the most shocking images in the media coverage of 9/11. The choice to exclude images of falling men from American visual media representations of 9/11 goes hand in hand with the tendencies of a contemporary trauma theory. This essay assumes that the representations in the U.S visual media depend on "antimimetic theory," one of the leading contemporary trauma theories, in order to validate its logic, and examines the limitations and problems of the theory. This work aims to examine the issue of the definition of a catastrophe as trauma by visual media on the basis on the "antimimetic theory" and the danger that results. Because the antimimetic theory, which the visual media in the United States uses to define 9/11 as trauma, emphasizes literal and unmediated representation of an external event, it lacks an understanding of the human aspects of the event. There is no way to intervene in the construction and interpretation of the trauma. As a result, the theory discourages active attempts to find a solution to the problems of the people directly connected with the event. Thus, it provides an opening for manipulative intervention of an external power. This essay attempts to provide a critical analysis of the "antimimetic theory" in order to help people who witness catastrophic events through various types of visual media, and to seek an alternative means of experiencing and responding to the trauma, that does not stem from the perspective of specific media outlets or external powers.

Ubiquitous computing requires an intelligent environment where the users do not need to be involved in the operation. The agent technology allows effective implementation of ubiquitous system, while agent platform provides efficient and stable interaction between the agents. In this paper we propose a hierarchical P2P networking approach where the messages are combined inside the agent platform and then compressed in two levels. The proposed approach capitalizes the static nature of the messages of typical context-aware applications. Experiment with an actual multi-agent system reveals that the response time and throughput are significantly improved compared to the existing scheme.

멘토링은 조직이나 사회 구성원들의 발전을 돕기 위한 프로그램으로서, 조언자, 상담자 및 후원자 역할을 하는 '멘토(mentor)'와 도움을 얻고자 하는 '멘티(mentee)'가 긴밀한 관계를 맺고 유지함으로써 상호 발전을 위해 수행된다. 현재 이루어지고 있는 대부분의 멘토링은 면대면 (face-to-face) 시스템이거나 웹 기반의 e-mentoring 시스템으로, 전자는 시간적 그리고 지역적 한계를 극복해야만 하고 후자는 멘토나 멘티가 멘토링 사이트에 접속하여 게시판을 확인하지 않으면 제대로 된 멘토링을 수행할 수 없다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 멘토와 멘티의 매칭은 무작위로 이루어지거나 코디네이터라고 불리는 사람이 수행하기 때문에, 비용이 많이 소용될 뿐 아니라 개인적인 편견이나 오류가 개입될 여지가 상존한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시간과 장소의 제약에 구애 받지 않는 u-Mentoring 시스템을 개발하고자 하며, 그 첫 단계로써 멘토와 멘티간의 매칭을 지원하는 새로운 알고리즘(M3 Algorithm, Mentor-Mentee Matching Algorithm)을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 매칭의 정확도와 멘토-멘티의 매칭 만족도를 높이기 위해 멘토-멘티 온톨로지(M-Ontology)와 사례기반추론 기법을 사용하였다. 즉, 멘토-멘티의 효과적인 매칭을 위해, 멘토-멘티간 매칭 사례가 없는 초기 단계에는 멘토와 멘티의 속성 비교를 통한 추천 방식을 사용하고, 멘토링이 종료되어 충분한 멘토-멘티간 매칭사례가 수집되면 그 결과를 재사용해 추후 매칭에 활용한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 매칭 알고리즘이 내장된 u-Mentoring system의 포로토타입을 보여주고자 한다.
