Recently, with the development of wireless communications and mobile computing, interest about mobile computing is rising. Mobile computing can be regarded as an environment where a user carries mobile devices, such as a PDA or a notebook, and shares resources with a server computer via wireless communications. A mobile database refers to a database which is used in these mobile devices. The mobile database can be used in the fields of insurance business, banking business, medical treatment, and so on. Especially, LBS(Location Based Service) which utilizes location information of users becomes an essential field of mobile computing. In order to support LBS in the mobile environment, there must be an Embedded Spatial MMDBMS(Main-Memory Database Management System) that can efficiently manage large spatial data in spatial mobile devices. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented the Embedded Spatial MMDBMS, extended from the HSQLDB which is an existing MMDBMS for PC, to manage spatial data efficiently in spatial mobile devices. The Embedded Spatial MMDBMS adopted the spatial data model proposed by ISO(International Organization for Standardization), provided the arithmetic coding method that is suitable for spatial data, and supported the efficient spatial index which uses the MBR compression and hashing method suitable for spatial mobile devices. In addition, the system offered the spatial data display capability in low-performance processors of spatial mobile devices and supported the data caching and synchronization capability for performance improvement of spatial data import/export between the Embedded Spatial MMDBMS and the GIS server.

소비자의 하이테크 서비스 가입 이후 행태를 살펴보면, 가입자들은 서비스를 실제로 사용하기도 전에 가입 해지결정을 내리기도 한다. 최근 미국의 기간통신회사에서 출시된 인터넷전화 서비스의 경우, 출시 후 1년 반 동안 이탈한 고객 중 무려 60%정도가 서비스를 실제로 사용하기 전 상태인 네트워크 및 시스템이 준비되는 동안이나 소비자가 가정에서 전화기 연결용 어댑터를 설치하는 단계에서 이탈한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 가입초기 고객의 이탈은 기업에게 고객획득과정에서 지출된 마케팅비용의 손실 및 미래의 매출감소뿐만 아니라, 기 가입자를 통한 미래의 가입 희망자에게 미칠 수 있는 긍정적 구전효과와 같은 간접효과에 대한 손실을 의미한다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 가입 후 행태에 대한 기존연구는 고객불평 연구, 서비스 사용 후 발생하는 정상적 이탈행태(normal churn)에 대한 연구, 또는 탐색적 연구를 제외하면 매우 부족하다. 더욱이 하이테크서비스의 특성을 고려한 서비스 출시초기에 소비자의 가입직후 해지결정에 대한 결정요인 연구는 그 필요성에 비해 연구가 전무하다시피한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의가입시점과 실제 사용시점 사이에 발생하는 소비자의 이탈행태를 이탈시점에 따라 '가입직후 이탈(immediate churn)' 과 '가입 후 이탈(earlychurn)'로 정의한 후, 특히 가입직후 고객의 이탈행태를 설명하기 위해 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 이전 사용경험정도와 서비스에 대한 정보를 획득한 채널의 정보전달 풍부성 등을 연구모형에 포함하였다. 이 기간 동안에 기업은 서비스 제공에 필요한 부수적인 기기 제공 및 서비스 준비 등을 수행하지만, 동시에 소비자는 여러가지 이유로 가입결정을 제고할 수도 있게 된다. 제안된 연구모형에 대한 실증분석을 위해 미국 유수의 기간통신회사에서 2004년 출시된 인터넷전화(Voice over Internet Protocol: VoIP)서비스에 가입한 12,000여명 의 고객 프로파일과 서비스사용 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석결과 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 사용경험정도가 낮을수록 서비스 가입직후 바로 해지하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험이 낮은 경우라도, 가입 후서비스를 실제로 사용하였다면 서비스에 대한 가입해지 경향은 더 이상 나타나지 않았다. 이는 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험정도가 가입직후 해지에만 영향을 미치는 요인임을 보여준다. 또한 매체의 정보전달 풍부성 (media richness)이 상대적으로 높은 소매점이나 웹사이트를 통해 서비스에 가입한 소비자일수록 가입 직후뿐만 아니라 서비스사용 이후에도 낮은 해지성향을 나타냈다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 인터넷전화 서비스에 적합한 고객지원 프로그램 설계와 마케팅 매체선정과 관련한 전략적 시사점을 도출한다. 그리고 국내에서 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 차세대 무선인터넷 서비스인 와이브로 출시에 따른 마케팅 및 고객관리와 관련된 시사점을 논의한다.

Transportation has been playing important role in our society by providing for people, freight, and information. However, it cuts its own throat by causing car accidents, traffic congestion, and air pollution. The main cause of these problems is a noticeable growth in the number of vehicles. The easiest way to mitigate these problems is to build new road infrastructures unless resources such as time, money, and space are limited. Therefore, there is a need to manage the existing road infrastructures effectively and safely. In this paper, we propose a road reservation scheme that provides fast and safe response for emergency vehicles using ubiquitous sensor network. Our idea is to allow emergency vehicle to reserve a road on a freeway for arriving to the scene of the accident quickly and safely. We evaluate the performance by three reservation method (No, Hop, and Full) to show that emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, or police cars can rapidly and safely reach their destination. Simulation results show that the average speed of road reservation is about 1.09 ~ 1.20 times faster than that of non-reservation at various flow rates. However, road reservation should consider the speed of the emergency vehicle and the road density of the emergency vehicle processing direction, as a result of Hop Reservation and Full Reservation performance comparison analysis. We confirm that road reservation can guarantee safe driving of emergency vehicles without reducing their speed and help to mitigate traffic congestion.

In general, the experienced diver go into the water to find out Pan Shell which is spontaneously generated and brought up at the depth of 25-30 meters in the slime along the bank of an inlet of western and southern sea. However, this searching system has caused some problems in terms of economical efficiency and riskiness of diver. To overcome such problems and enhance the competence capability of fishermen, a new Pan Shell searching system is required. If an onboard searching system as a substitute of the way of diving into the deep water to identify the existence of Pan Shell is developed, it would be greatly beneficial to fishermen. The purpose of this research is to develop a new searching system of Pan Shell by making use of 50-200 Khz Ultra Sonic Signal, A/D Converter and computer process program. Based on the fact that Sonic Signal between the soft part of slime and the hard part of sand, pebble and Pan Shell is different, the possibility of this system have been approved in some degree by this time of research. However, to utilize this new system, further research on the establishment of data base and sample data is required. With the theoretical knowledge, the systematic research on the searching capability of Ultra Sonic Signal will be continued to identify the influence against the sea water subject. In this research, signal will be analyzed according to the influence range, power and sensitiveness of Ultra Sonic Generator. In addition, the radius of Ultra Sonic Signal will be included. The experimental field work will be executed at Nockdong, Pulkyo and other places well known as a habitat of Pan Shell.

Learning for thinking says the behavior of the organism changes as a result of practice or experience. It is very difficult to identify focusing ability objectively when students study. But, brain of the body is not so. EEG signal means continuously electric records of brain potential variation between two points on the scalp when brain activities take place. In types of EEG, there are delta(0~4Hz), theta(4~8Hz), alpha(8~13Hz), beta(13~30Hz) and gamma waves(30~50Hz). SMR waves and Mid-beta waves appear when focused for studying. Part for the most influence on concentrating reported that Mid-beta waves. In relation to brain activities, EEG has been actively researched for evaluating brain focus index system during learning and study. So, By using Biopac system for this study, measured brain wave was converted into FFT for extracting Mid-beta domain signals that are related to learning after giving focus invoked subjects to a small number of people. When concentrating, we measured the change in the power of the Mid-beta frequency domain and presented a correlation. Based on these results, we analyzed whether students are concentrated objectively on learning or not. and hope to offer more efficient learning method.

In this paper, we propose a cost-effective location and service management scheme in LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, which a per-user service proxy is created to serve as a gateway between the mobile user and all client-server applications engaged by the mobile user. The service proxy is always co-located with the mobile user's location database such that whenever the MU's location database moves during a location hand-off, a service hand-off also ensues to co-locate the service proxy with the location database. This allows the proxy to know the location of the mobile user all the time to reduce the network communication cost for service delivery. We analyze four integrated location and service management schemes. Our results show that the centralized scheme performs the best when the mobile user's SMR (service to mobility ratio) is low and ${\upsilon}$(session to mobility ratio) is high, while the fully distributed scheme performs the best when both SMR and ${\upsilon}$ are high. In all other conditions, the dynamic anchor scheme is the best except when the service context transfer cost is high under which the static anchor scheme performs the best. Through analytical results, we demonstrate that different users with vastly different mobility and service patterns should adopt different integrated location and service management methods to optimize system performance.

In this raper, we propose the Sequentiel Couleur Avec Memoire or Sequential Color with Memory (SECAM) video encoder system using modified anti-cloche filters and the SECAM video decoder system using a band pass filter (BPF) and an error-free square root. The SECAM encoder requires an anti-cloche filter recommended by International Telecommunication Union-Recommendation (ITU-R) Broadcasting service Television (BT) 470. However, the design of the anti-cloche filter is difficult because the frequency response of the anti-cloche filter is very sharp around rejection-frequency area. So, we convert the filter into a hish pass filter (HPF) by shifting the rejection frequency of 4.286MHz to 0Hz frequency. The design of HPF becomes very easy, compared to that of the anti-cloche filter. The proposed decoder also uses an error-free square root, two differentiators and trigonometric functions to extract color-component information of Db and Dr accurately from frequency modulation (FM) signals in SECAM systems. Also, the BPF in decoder it used for removing color noise in chrominance and dividing CVBS into chrominance and luminance. The proposed systems are experimentally demonstrated with Altera FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and TV sets.

In this paper, we propose a coding packet group-based ARQ scheme (rNC) for file delivery in wireless networks. rNC assumes multiple network coding points between the source and the destination. Each network coding point gathers and codes a group of packets according to the queue polling system. A queue polling system makes a few or several packets available for coding in a queue while polling the other queues in the system. Thus, we assuem a queue polling system at each network coding point. We call this group of packets as coded packet group. Each coding point acknowledges the reception of every code packet group to its previous coding point for reliable delivery. Thus, the intermediate coding points including the source can release its buffer before the packet is delivered to the destination. To guarantee the ultimate file delivery to the destination, the destination sends acknowledgement to the sender. We evaluate our proposed scheme using ns-2 and compare the performance with CodeCast. The results show that rNC works better than CodeCast in terms of packet delivery ratio and control overhead in unreliable wireless networks.

Free-view, auto-stereoscopic video service is a next generation broadcasting system which offers a three-dimensional video, images of the various point are needed. This paper proposes a method that parallelizes the algorithm for arbitrary intermediate view-point image fast generation and make it faster using General Propose Graphic Processing Unit(GPGPU) with help of the Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA). It uses a parallelized stereo-matching method between the leftmost and the rightmost depth images to obtain disparity information and It use data calculated disparity increment per depth value. The disparity increment is used to find the location in the intermediate view-point image for each depth in the given images. Then, It is eliminate to disocclusions complement each other and remaining holes are filled image using hole-filling method and to get the final intermediate view-point image. The proposed method was implemented and applied to several test sequences. The results revealed that the quality of the generated intermediate view-point image corresponds to 30.47dB of PSNR in average and it takes about 38 frames per second to generate a Full HD intermediate view-point image.
