The Korean construction industry has been implementing G-SEED, a certification system that evaluates the environmental properties of buildings for the purpose of reducing environmental burdens such as energy and resource consumption and pollutant emissions. Also, creating a pleasant environment in general is one more purpose of G-SEED certification system. However, G-SEED certification in practice is difficult and time consuming due to the complexity of the certification acquisition process coupled with little economic consideration for the materials of each certification item. Therefore, in this study, we present a model for the optimal selection of materials and economic assessment using a genetic algorithm. The development of the model involves building a material database based on life-cycle costing (LCC) targeted at "Application of Indoor Air Pollutant Low Emission Material" from G-SEED. Next, the model was validated using a real non-residential building case study. The result shows an average cost reduction rate of 74.5 % compared with the existing cost. This model is expected to be used as an economically efficient tool in G-SEED.

In industrial fields like big factories, efficient management of resources is critical in terms of time and expense. So, inefficient management of resources leads to additional costs. Nevertheless, in many cases, there is no proper system to manage resources. This study proposes a system to manage and track large-scale resources efficiently. We attached Bluetooth 5.0-based beacons to our target resources to track them in real time, and by saving their transportation data we can understand flows of resources. Also, we applied a diagonal survey method to estimate the location of beacons so we are able to build an efficient and accurate system. As a result, We achieve 47% more accurate results than traditional trilateration method.

Efforts to establish a joint preservation facility for library collection are being discussed by some of regional representative libraries recently. In order for the efficient management and preservation of public library materials and to secure the space necessary for applying new services, there is a high demand for a cooperative shared storage for public libraries. The construction of a cooperative shared storage for public libraries is to minimize the cost of expanding the preservation space for each public library and to provide a pleasant service environment by separating the low-use materials stored in the library. Accordingly, discussions on the construction of a cooperative shared storage for public libraries are being initiated by some representative libraries. This study, in this regard, tried to propose a plan to build a cooperative shared storage for public libraries by a Seoul Metropolitan Library. To this end, it surveyed the estimate size of the collections of public libraries in Seoul and, based on this, proposed the size and strategies for the facility.

Recently, many studies using reinforcement learning-based autoscaling have been performed to make autoscaling policies that are adaptive to changes in the environment and meet specific purposes. However, training the reinforcement learning-based Horizontal Pod Autoscaler(HPA) policy in a real environment requires a lot of money and time. And it is not practical to retrain the reinforcement learning-based HPA policy from scratch every time in a real environment. In this paper, we implement a reinforcement learning-based HPA in Kubernetes, and propose a transfer leanring technique using a queuing model-based simulation to accelerate the training of a reinforcement learning-based HPA policy. Pre-training using simulation enabled training the policy through simulation experience without consuming time and resources in the real environment, and by using the transfer learning technique, the cost was reduced by about 42.6% compared to the case without transfer learning technique.

The direct sale of agricultural products is an alternative distributional channel which can provide satisfactions to both producers and consumers by reducing marketing cost through a direct connection between them. Due to this role, there has been rising interest in farmers' direct selling of agricultural products. However, the direct selling by farmers expose many problems and obstacles, because farmers should take a role as a middleman when they directly sell their products. This study tries to identify the obstacles from farmers who started the direct sales, and suggested a direction of e-business education programs being in place by RDA for the purpose of promoting farmers' direct sales. Suggestions of e-business education is needed to enhance education programs such as improving personal capability, cooperative work between farmers, expending programs what farms want.

최근 자연적, 사회적, 정책적 관점에서 하천관리의 중요성이 증대되면서 국가하천 정비를 통한 하천시설 관리의 책임이 증대되고 있다. 국가하천 5대강 본류의 친수지구 이용도 변화를 살펴보면 2015년에 비해 2019년에 면적당 이용객 수가 630,813(명/km²)이 증가하였음을 알 수 있었고(국토교통부, 2020) 본 연구에서는 이용자 수 증가율이 높은 편인 한강 내 하천이용시설을 대상으로 선정하여 해당 지역을 기계학습 기반의 수위예측 알고리즘에 적용하였다. 하천이용시설은 하천이용자가 편리하게 하천을 이용하기 위하여 설치한 시설로 공원시설(강서, 난지, 양화, 망원, 여의도, 이촌, 반포, 잠원, 뚝섬, 잠실, 광나루, 구리)을 위주로 분석하였다. 해당 시설의 침수피해를 고려하기 위해 시계열 자료에 특화된 LSTM(Long Short-term Memory)기법을 활용하여 수위예측 알고리즘을 개발하였고 이를 통해 도출된 홍수 예보로 재난을 대비하고 시설물을 체계적으로 관리하는 유지관리의 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 입력 자료(input data)는 수위 (EL.m), 팔당댐 방류량 (m³/s), 강화대교의 조위(EL.m)를 사용하였으며 수위예측 알고리즘을 통해 6시간 후 예측 수위값을 도출하여 기존 2단계(주의보, 경보)였던 홍수 예보 단계에서 4단계(관심, 보행자통제, 차량통제, 경계)로 구축하였다. 기존과 세분화된 홍수예보를 적용했을 경우의 유지관리 비용과 편익을 산정하여 하천이용시설의 경제성을 비교·분석한 결과, 유지관리 비용이 기존 대비 약 5% 이상 절감되었고 편익은 약 1.5배 이상 증가하였으며 관리등급은 평균 C등급(보통) 이상 달성하였다. 이는 수위예측 알고리즘의 적용으로 하천이용 활성화 및 투자의 효율성에 목적을 두었으며 향후 분석결과를 토대로 경제성모델을 개발하여 국가하천 내 관리그룹에 적용하면 효율적인 유지관리체계를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

LoRa is a physical layer technology that is designed to provide a reliable long-range communication with introducing CSS and with introducing a loco parentis tree network. Since a leaf can utilize multiple parents at the same time with a single transmission, PDR increases logarithmically as the number of gateways increases. Because of the ALOHA-like MAC of LoRa, however, the PDR degrades even under the loco parentis tree topology similarly to the single-gateway environment. Our proposed method is aimed to achieve SDMA approach to reuse the same frequency in different areas. For that purpose, it elaborately controls each TxPower of the senders for each message in concurrent transmission to survive the collision at each different gateway. The gain from this so-called capture effect increases the capacity of resource-hungry LPWAN. Compared to a typical collision-free controlled-access scheme, our method outperforms by 10-35% from the perspective of the total count of the consumed time slots. Also, due to the power control mechanism in our method, the energy consumption reduced by 20-40%.

In the face of the serious security situation with the increasing threat from North Korea, Korean Army is pursuing a reduction in troops through the performance improvement project of the GOP science-based border security system, which utilizes advanced technology. In order for the GOP science-based border security system to be an effective alternative to the decrease in military resources due to the population decline, it must guarantee a high detection and identification rate and minimize troop intervention by dramatically improving the false detection rate. Recently introduced in Korean Army, the GOP science-based border security system is known to ensure a relatively high detection and identification rate in good weather conditions, but its performance in harsh weather conditions such as rain and fog is somewhat lacking. As an alternative to overcoming this, a radar-based border security system that can detect objects even in bad weather has been proposed. This paper proves the effectiveness of the AI-based scientific border security system based on radar that is being currently tested at the 00th Division through the 2021 Rapid Acquisition Program, and suggests the direction of development for the GOP scientific border security system.

Increasing energy efficiency in factories is an activity aimed at optimizing resource allocation in manufacturing processes to establish production plans. However, this strategy may not apply effectively when night shifts are unavoidable. Additionally, continuous fluctuations in production requirements pose challenges for its implementation in the factory. Recently, with the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), technology utilizing electric vehicle batteries as energy storage systems has gained attention. Technology using these batteries can be an alternative for factory energy management. In this paper, a factory energy management method using EV batteries is proposed. The proposed method is analyzed using PSCAD/EMTDC software, considering the state of charge of EV batteries and Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. The proposed method was compared with production scheduling established considering predicted power usage and TOU rates. As a result, production scheduling saved 4,152 KRW per day, while the proposed method saved 7,286 KRW in electricity costs. Through this paper, the possibility of utilizing EV batteries for factory energy management has been demonstrated.

If the future can be predicted from network traffic data, which is a time series, it can achieve effects such as efficient resource allocation, prevention of malicious attacks, and energy saving. Many models based on statistical and deep learning techniques have been proposed, and most of these studies have focused on improving model structures and learning algorithms. Another approach to improving the prediction performance of the model is to obtain a good-quality data. With the aim of obtaining a good-quality data, this paper applies a dense sampling technique that augments time series data to the application of network traffic prediction and analyzes the performance improvement. As a dataset, UNSW-NB15, which is widely used for network traffic analysis, is used. Performance is analyzed using RMSE, MAE, and MAPE. To increase the objectivity of performance measurement, experiment is performed independently 10 times and the performance of existing sparse sampling and dense sampling is compared as a box plot. As a result of comparing the performance by changing the window size and the horizon factor, dense sampling consistently showed a better performance.
