Visually impaired people use tactile maps to get spatial information about their surrounding environment, find their way, and improve their independent mobility. However, classical tactile maps that make use of braille to describe the location within the map have several limitations, such as the lack of information due to constraints on space and limited feedback possibilities. This study describes the development of a new multi-modal interactive tactile map interface that addresses the challenges of tactile maps to improve the usability and independence of visually impaired people when using tactile maps. This interface adds touch gesture recognition to the surface of tactile maps and enables the users to verbally interact with a voice agent to receive feedback and information about navigation routes and points of interest. A low-cost prototype was developed to conduct usability tests that evaluated the interface through a survey and interview given to blind participants after using the prototype. The test results show that this interactive tactile map prototype provides improved usability for people over traditional tactile maps that use braille only. Participants reported that it was easier to find the starting point and points of interest they wished to navigate to with the prototype. Also, it improved self-reported independence and confidence compared with traditional tactile maps. Future work includes further development of the mobility solution based on the feedback received and an extensive quantitative study.

수업의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 교사의 교수법 향상을 위해서는 실제 수업을 잘하는 사람의 수업 장면과 교수 학습 지도안을 보고 동료교사 및 전문가들과 같이 수업에 대해서 같이 토론하는 것이 좋을 것이다. 그러나 현장의 교사들에게는 실제 그러한 참관 기회가 많지 않을뿐만 아니라 참관 및 토론의 환경도 충분히 제공되지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 실제 교수법이 뛰어나 교사의 수업 장면을 동영상으로 제작하고, 이 동영상과 교수 학습 지도안을 동기화시킨 전자 지도안을 만들어 현장 교사들에게 제공하는 것이 좋을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 교수법 향상을 위해 저자 지도안 재작 도구의 프로토타입을 개발하였다.

Marine scientific monitoring, including monitoring of oil pollution, marine ecosystems, and the marine environment in general, has been being carried out continuously in order to assess the impact of oil pollution since the Hebei Spirit oil spill in December 2007. GIS thematic maps containing visual and summarized information are very useful for conducting exploratory analyses on the spatio-temporal variability of the marine environment and marine ecosystems due to oil pollution. Defining map types and building a legend in accordance with data characteristics are essential elements for mapping. In the present study, map types were defined according to the data attributes and GIS data types for each data item and classification of data intervals for the legend was defined by using two data distribution types through a histogram analysis. The data interval method was defined as follows: If the histogram of data has a uniform distribution, an equal interval method is applied; in the case of a normal distribution, a standard deviation method is applied. In addition, thematic map templates were made for each map type through the definition of marginal elements. Through the establishment of systematic mapping methods and procedures in this study, it was possible to effectively make standardized thematic maps for various kinds of marine scientific data.

Chinease-Korean Cultural Map, which is an electronic cultural map that shows Chinese-Korean culture on maps, is planned as the first step to development Asian Electronic Cultural Map. Chinese-Korean have their unique cultural characteristics same as other small tribes. Small tribes shows same typical cultural characteristics of Asian, and that characteristics are very important factors for understanding the whole Asian culture. This paper proposes a logical and standardized development methodology for construction of Electronic Cultural Map. The methodology consists of 6 steps; information analysis, keyword extraction, keyword clustering, map element extraction, prototype design, and map development. We used and evaluated the methodology during prototype design and development steps for the optimal functions. To generate the base maps for Chinese-Korean Cultural Map, we use Google Earth and KML(Keyhole Markup Language) for standardized and easy development.

Spatial information systems have developed in order to provide users with customized land information in u-City environments. The spatial information systems can detect spatial information for users anytime anywhere. Information which is analyzed by data mining techniques can be offered for other users. Therefore, we propose open map API-based prototype which utilizes frequent pattern mining technique. Proposed prototype can mine interesting trip routes and unknown attractions in location data of geophoto. Also, proposed prototype is the first attempt which analyzes spatial patterns can be represented on a map which is selected by users. Our prototype can be applied to the smart phone like mobile devices.

In diploid organisms like human, each chromosome consists of two copies. A haplotype is a SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism) sequence information from each copy. Finding the complete map of haplotypes in human population is one of the important issues in human genome. To obtain haplotypes via experimental methods is both time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, inference methods have been used to infer haplotyes from the genotype samples. In this paper, we propose a new approach using genetic algorithm to infer haplotypes, which is based on the model of finding the minimum number of haplotypes that explain the genotype samples. We show that by doing a computational experiment, our algorithm has the correctness similar to HAPAR[1] which is known to produce good results while the execution time of our algorithm is less than that of HAPAR as the input size is increased. The experimental result is also compared with the result by the recent method PTG[2].

반도체 공정 신호는 주기 신호와 비주기 신호로 구분된다. 특정 패턴을 가지는 주기 신호는 해당 파라미터(parameter)에 대해서 패턴 매칭을 수행하여 관리하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 반면 비주기 신호 데이터의 경우에는 패턴 매칭 방법을 수행할 수 없다. 또한 반도체 공정에서 얻을 수 있는 두 개 타입의 데이터는 그 파라미터가 방대하기 때문에 현재 실제 공정에 적용되고 있는 방식인 각각 하나의 파라미터에 대해 관리도(control chart)를 구성해 관리하는 것은 많은 비용과 시간의 낭비를 초래한다. 따라서 두 타입 데이터의 여러 개의 파라미터를 동시에 관측할 수 있고 파라미터간의 내재된 상관관계를 고려할 수 있는 장점을 가진 분석 기법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 주기 신호의 이상탐지를 위한 기존 연구는 신호를 구간으로 나누어 구간별로 SPC 차트적용 시키는 방법, 각 시점 마다 측정되는 값을 하나의 변수로 고려하여 Hotelling's T square, PCA, PLS 등과 같은 다변량 통계 분석을 적용 시키는 방법들이 제시되어 왔다. 이러한 방법들은 다양한 특성을 가지는 주기신호를 분석하고 이상을 탐지 하는데 많은 한계점을 가진다. 이에 본 논문은 다양한 형태를 가지는 신호의 특성을 반영하여 자기구상지도를 기반으로 신호의 분류와 공정의 이상을 탐지하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 자기구상지도를 이용하여 복잡한(고차원, 시계열) 신호를 2차원 상의 노드로 맵핑시킴으로써 신호의 특질(feature)을 추출하고 새로 표현된 신호의 특질을 기반으로 Logistic regression을 적용시켜 이상을 탐지 한다. 다양한 이상 상황을 가진 반도체 공정 신호를 사용하여 제안한 이상탐지 성능을 평가하였다.

Although the multi-scale map database should be constructed for the web map services and location-based services, much part of generation process is based on the manual editing. In this study, the map generalization methodology for automatic construction of multi-scale database from the primary data is proposed. Moreover, the generalization methodology is applied to the real map data and the prototype of multi-scale map dataset is generated. Among the generalization operators, selection/elimination, simplification and amalgamation/aggregation is applied in organized manner. The algorithm and parameters for generalization is determined experimentally considering T$\ddot{o}$pfer's radical law, minimum drawable object of map and visual aspect. The target scale level is five(1:1,000, 1:5,000, 1:25,000, 1:100,000, 1:500,000) and for the target data, new address data and digital topographic map is used.
