Because of the rapid increase of energy consumption, we have some problems such as environmental pollution, global warming, the oil shocks, and so on. To solve these problems, concern about renewable energy such as solar energy, wind force, and water energy is continuously increasing. America, Europe, and Japan have developed a system that manage and utilize the information of the renewable energy resources. However, in the domestic, renewable energy information system was not effectively built yet. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a renewable energy information system, which store and manage solar radiation energy data. We implemented the system using ArcView GIS. Also the system is able to retrieve the information from the energy database through various spatiotemporal queries. In addition, user can identify the results of summary data in the form of chart, graph, and counter line. The implemented system is supplied to the user through the web by ArcIMS.

Grid computing, a mechanism which uses heterogeneous systems that are geographically distributed, draws attention as a new paradigm for the next generation operation of parallel and distributed computing. The importance of grid computing concerning communication cost is very huge because grid computing furnishes uses with integrated virtual computing service, in which a number of computer systems are connected by a high-speed network. Therefore, to reduce the execution time, the scheduling algorithm in grid environment should take communication cost into consideration as well as computing ability of resources. However, most scheduling algorithms have not only ignored the communication cost by assuming that all tasks were dealt in one cluster, but also did not consider the overhead of communication cost when the tasks were processed in a number of clusters. In this paper, the functions of original scheduling algorithms are analyzed. More importantly, the functions of algorithms are compared and analyzed with consideration of communication cost within the co allocation environment, in which a task is performed separately in many clusters.

오늘날 멀티미디어 정보의 양이 매우 빠른 속도로 증가함에 따라 멀티미디어 데이타베이스에 대한 효율적인 관리는 더욱 중요한 의미를 가지게 되었다. 게다가 영상과 같은 비 문자형태의 데이타에 대한 사용자들의 내용기반 검색욕구 증가로 인해 비디오 인덱싱에 대한 관심은 더욱 고조되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 우선적으로 분할된 샷 경계면에서 추출된 대표 프레임과 정지 영상 데이타베이스로부터 유사 영상과 유사 대표 프레임을 검색할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 우선적으로 영상에 의한 질의는 기존에 주로 사용되어온 색상 히스토그램방식을 탈피하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 CS와 GS방식을 이용하여 색상 및 방향성 정보도 고려하도록 설계하였다. 또한 얼굴에 의한 질의는 대표 프레임으로부터 얼굴 영역을 추출해 내고 얼굴의 경계선 값 및 쌍 직교 웨이블릿 변환에 의해 얻어진 2개의 특징값을 이용하여 유사 인물이 포함된 대표 프레임을 검색해 내도록 설계하였다. Abstract There is a rapid increase in the use of digital video information in recent years, it becomes more important to manage multimedia databases efficiently. There is a big concern about video indexing because users require content-based image retrieval. In this paper, we first propose query-by-image system environment which allows to retrieve similar images from the chosen representative frames or images from the image databases. This algorithm considers not only the discretized color histogram but also the proposed directional information called CS & GS method. Finally, we designe another query environment using query-by-face. In this system , user selects a people in the representative frame browser and then system extracts a face region from that frame. After that system retrieves similar representative frames using 2 features, edge information and biorthogonal wavelet transform.

Cluster systems have been widely used for solving problems in various application domains, and regarded as useful high performance computing resources. As the number of cluster system user is increasing, it is no less important to maintain stable operation than to improve cluster system performance. Although hardware preventive maintenance is important for keeping normal operation, the testing tool which can be used for general cluster systems during maintenance has received little attention. In this Paper, considering hardware Preventive maintenance, we suggest a testing tool for hardware of cluster system. The cluster system testing tool which is named CTS(Cluster system Test Suite) has two check routines; one for memory, and the other for NIC respectively. The CTS is designed to support the common features of general cluster systems and all the Jobs such as setting test conditions to querying the results can be done entirely within an integrated GUI environment. CTS is used as the testing tool for two kinds of cluster systems during maintenance, and the experimental results show that CTS reports useful information for cluster systems management.

Now that many organizations have invested a tremendous amount of money and efforts to operate Web sites on the Internet, there is a strong demand to understand the effectiveness of such investments. In other words, one of most frequent and important questions about their Web sites is "Will the current Web site management policy be effective enough to have more visitors come to our Web site\ulcorner" In this paper, a system which predicts the degree of user interest in the future to Web sites is constructed. The degree of user interest to a Web site is defined to be the visit counts for the Web site in the system. With higher the visit counts, the related site is considered to be more interesting. However, the figures of the visit counts themselves cannot explain properly the degree of user Interest in the future to the related Web sites (i.e. the effectiveness of the related Web sites). Therefore, the system also uses mechanisms which use the concept of the Moving Averages, which have been used frequently in the stock exchanges. In this paper. two prediction mechanisms are proposed and compared. The first mechanism uses the Golden Cross/the Dead Cross of the Moving Averages, while the second mechanism uses the changes of upward/downward direction of the Moving Averages. Experimental results show that the two prediction mechanisms proposed in this paper predict the degree of user interest in the future to the related Web sites very well in most cases. However, the first one is considered to be better than the second one In the sense that the second one is too much sensitive to the changes of visit counts.it counts.

As the prevalence of cloud computing increases, various cloud service types have emerged, such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. The growth and diversification of these cloud services has also resulted in the development of technology for cloud service brokers (CSBs), which serve as intermediate cloud services that can assist cloud tenants (users) in deploying services that fit their requirements. In order to broker cloud services, CSBs require the specification of structural models in order to facilitate the analysis and search for cloud services. In this study, we propose a variability-based service analysis model (SAM) that can be used to describe various cloud services. This model is based on the concept of variability in the software product line and represents the commonality and variability of cloud services by binding variants to each variation point that exists in the specification, quality, and pricing of the services. We also propose a virtual cloud bank architecture as a CSB that serves as an intermediate to provides tenants with appropriate cloud services based on the SAM.

Due to the development of information telecommunication technology, e-learning industry is rapidly expanding its scope along with its production technology. The recent trend of e-learning program is likely converted from Wmv(Window Media Video) of Microsoft to Flv(Flash video), which has less capacity but better quality than other image file. It has successfully drawn the users attention since Flv can operate at most OS environments and browsers let alone with window and Lenux without extra players and codec setup. However, there is no accurate data on comparative analysis between Wmv and Flv regarding capacity, quality and production time. Therefore, the study shows the comparative data analysis on Wmv and Flv so as to set out production platform up to its idiosyncrasy.

A blog is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Blog search engines, like web search engines, seek information for searchers on blogs. Blog search engines sometimes output unsatisfactory results, mainly due to spam blogs or splogs. Splogs are blogs hosting spam posts, plagiarized or auto-generated contents for the sole purpose of hosting advertizements or raising the search rankings of target sites. This thesis focuses on splog detection. This thesis proposes a new splog detection method, which is based on blog post structure similarity and posting count per day. Experiments based on methods proposed a day show excellent result on splog detection tasks with over 90% accuracy.

Nowadays economic and commercial businesses have been increased because of the Internet. As a result of this, electronic commerce is becoming one of the most Interesting topic of discussion. Electronic commerce is equal to a real market, only the place of business is the imaginary space supported by the Internet. There are a few conditions to consider, making electronic commerce work safely. The electronic commerce should be connected by a substantial system and an on-line Protocol. There are some conditions needed for information security, authentication, and payment by electronic currency etc. Although there are many kinds of existing systems, which create services successfully, further research for security is required. Therefore, this paper suggests an authenticated Agent management, which offers more convenience and security than before. Also, this paper shows many authenticated methods for a management system. An Agent that is one of interesting things to study can handle information problems and works related to electronic commerce.

With the huge success of Social Network Services, studies on social network analysis to extract the current issues or to track the symptoms of epidemic disease are being carried out actively. On Twitter, tweets reflect people's reaction to an event and users' individual status well, so it is possible to detect an event regarding a tweet as a sensory value. Recently, social signals are used to detect the spread of illness like the flu as well as the occurrence of disaster event like an earthquake in early stages. In this paper, we set up a cold as a target event and regarded tweets as Cold Signals. To evaluate the reliability of Cold Signals, we analyzed correlations between weather factors and the cold index provided by Korea Meteorological Administration.
