Children with language developmental disabilities often struggle through their lives from a lot of challenges in everyday life and social activities. They're often easily deprived of the opportunity to engage in social activities, because they find difficulty in understanding or using language, a core means of communication. With regard to this issue, AAC(Augmentative and Alternative Communication) can be an effective communication tool for children who are suffering from language disabilities. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based AI service to make full use of the pictogram as an AAC tool for children with language developmental disabilities to improve not only the ability to interact with others but the capacity to understand language. Using this service, we strive to help these children to more effectively communicate their intention or desire and enhance the quality of life.

In the latest intelligent computing environments, the self-adaptive software, as new software paradigm, which modifies its own behavior in response to changes in its operating environment is needed. To develop the self-adaptive software, it is necessary to analyze and design the context of software as well as the structure and the behavior of software. We need more efforts for self-adaptive software development than for traditional software development because we need more activities and technologies like context modeling and adaptation to develop the self-adaptive software. In this paper, we present the product line architecture for self-adaptive software and templates of artifacts to improve the efficiency of development through a reuse methodology. The artifacts of the architecture support the systematic reuse activities of core assets by expressing the commonality and variability of product line.

In this paper, we consider the scheduling of SE(switching element)-disjoint multicasting in photonic Banyan-type switching networks constructed with directional couplers. This ensures that at most, one connection holds each SE in a given time thus, neither crosstalk nor blocking will arise in the network. Such multicasting usually takes several routing rounds hence, it is desirable to keep the number of rounds(i.e., scheduling length) to a minimum. We first present the necessary and sufficient condition for connections to pass through a common SE(i.e., make crosstalk) in the photonic Banyan-type networks capable of supporting one-to-many connections. With definition of uniquely splitting a multicast connection into distinct subconnections, the crosstalk relationship of a set of connections is represented by a graph model. In order to analyze the worst case crosstalk we characterize the upper bound on the degree of the graph. The successor paper(Part II)[14] is devoted to the scheduling algorithm and the upper bound on the scheduling length. Comparison with related results is made in detail.

The object of this dissertation is to teach the divorced inmates the method to deal with the conflicts which they have had. This program constitutes 10 terms session, and the participants are 6 at first, but reduced one latter. In the process of the program, when making nickname, the participants preferred the words that present their personal emotion and experience. And the participation rate by each participants were ascent more and more in accordance with the process. After the whole process of the program, we executed conflict-dealing scale test before and after the program. The result showed that 'Patience' and 'Siloam' presented change from emotional dealing to rational dealing. 'Sea', 'Jin' and 'Birth' presented higher level of emotional dealing than before the test. Therefore Through this result, we knew that conflict-dealing method program improved the skills and abilities which are used for the situation making conflicts.

Topographic mapping from economic SPOT stereo imagery than aerial photographs has become possible. Many of authors have studied the possibility of base map revisions and the accuracy of results. They have concluded that the SPOT image is suitable for 1/50,000 to 1/100,000 topographic map. For topographic map, orthophoto and DTM generation from SPOT imagery, accurate exterior orientation parameters are needed. But since the geometric characteristic of SPOT image is dynamic linear array imagery, the conventional bundle adjustment for photogrammetry can not be directly applied. Reliability is the ability to detect gross error, which is called the internal reliability, and the effect of non-detectable gross error on the results of exterior orientation, which is called the external reliability. This paper shows how the reliability of SPOT imagery depends on the different coordinate systems, presentations of coordinate for flight direction, orders of exterior orientation parameters and distribution of control points, and thus analyses the theoretical reliability of the exterior orientation, which can provide a basis for the planning of SPOT projects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the elementary students' environmentally friendly attitude and environment literacy through Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats in science class. The objects of this study were the sixth grade of both an experimental class (25 students) and a comparative class (24 students) a the S elementary school science class located in Incheon city. The results of this study were as follows: First, the change of environmentally friendly attitude in the experimental group applying the six thinking hats program have statistically meaningful differences (p<.05). Second, the environmental literacy of the experimental group was improved somewhat, but it has no meaningful differences compared the other group statistically. Therefore, the six thinking hats program applied in this study might be useful to improve the students' environmentally friendly attitude in elementary school science class.

미국 QED Technologies(이하 QED)가 세계 최초로 상용화한 자기유동유체연마장치(이하 MRF$^{(R)}$-Magnetorheological (Fluid) Finishing)는 역시 QED가 개발한 간섭계 응용장비인 SSI$^{(R)}$(Subaperture stitching interferometer)와 같이 운용하면 1um 이하의 나노광학산업에서 ${\lambda}/10$ 또는 ${\lambda}/100$ 이상 더 정밀한 영역을 손 쉽게 제조할 수 있는 획기적인 공정을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 능력 때문에 미국, 유럽 및 일본 등의 첨단광학회사들은 96년 상업화된 이후 MRF$^{(R)}$와 SSI$^{(R)}$ 공정을 앞다투어 도입하며 기존공정이 지니고 있던 많은 한계들을 극복했다. 우리나라의 MRF와 SSI의 도입은 선진국에 비해 10년 이상 늦어진 2008년에 이르러서야 최초의 장비가 도입되었으며 이후 꾸준히 그 응용분야가 확장되어 가고 있다. 2012년에는 한국천문연구원과 그린광학에 SSI의 최신장비인 ASI(Aspheric Stitching Interferometer)와 MRF가 각각 도입됐다. 이를 계기로 해서 한국사무소에서 제안을 하여 QED사의 총괄대표이사인 Dr. Andrew Kulawiec, 응용기술부장인 Paul Dumas, QED 한국사무소의 오한석 박사와 신지식 박사가 그간의 기술동향을 발표하는 기술강연회가 지난 2012년 10월 23일 개최되었다. 한국천문연구원, 그린광학과 한국광학기기산업협회의 후원으로 한국천문연구원 은하수홀에서 개최된 이번 강연회에서는 다음과 같은 세가지 주제를 다루었다. 1. MRF의 원리 및 응용분야의 현황과 장비개발 현황 2. SSI의 원리 및 응용분야의 현황과 장비개발 현황 3. 광학설계와 가공실현성에 도움이 되는 비구면을 표현하는 새로운 식 Q-Polynominal 이번 강연회는 특히 QED의 공정 및 장비개발자들이 직접 참가한 기술강연회로 지난 2004년 및 2008년에 열린 기술강연회와 차별화되며, 25개 업체 약 50여 명이 참석하여 성황리에 마무리되었다. 향후 국내의 사용자 그룹에 대한 세미나를 정기적으로 개최해 QED의 첨단광학기술에 대한 정보교환의 장을 확대할 예정이며, 기술강연회도 가능한 한 정기화할 예정이다. 이번 강연회의 주제 중 우선 MRF와 SSI에 대한 논의를 광학세계 1월호에 소개하고자 한다.

Selection of profitable research and development (R&D) projects is one of the major factors affecting sustained growth of firms and countries. This paper analyze what influences the knowledge on the business model exerted on selection of a R&D project. A business model converts the technology value to the customer value, and comprehensively describes the target customers for commercializing a new technology, core values, behaviors within organizations, resources, and external partners. Thus, understanding a business model would make R&D project evaluators place the feasibility and profitability of the business above the merits of the proposed technology in evaluating the technology development. To verify this hypothesis, we had 78 R&D project evaluators acquire the knowledge on the business model and measured how their criteria for R&D project selection have changed using the AHP method. The results shows that feasibility and profitability are more important than the merit of proposed technology, especially capability of company and business development are more important than the levels of technology innovation.

Electronic BBS (bulletin board system) Ins been widely recognized as an appropriate medium for exchanging ideas and sharing information asynchronously. The communication ability if BBS is the main reason for utilizing it as a tool for collaborative learning. Researchers in the community reported a number if findings regarding the educational utilization if BBS recently. In this paper, we propose a qualitative method to measure communication activities using BBS so that the complex discussion behaviors of participants can be understood analytically. We propose characteristic vectors to describe discussion behaviors of groups and individuals, which can be conveniently used for characterizing and comparing discussion groups as well as individuals. The interactivity model representing interactive activities shows graphically the degree of inter activity if discussion groups as well as individuals. Also, time dependent measurements are investigated to analyze discussion activities with time. Experiments on the proposed measurements conducted on the Web-based discussion project using BBS demonstrate how measurements can be carried out, how characteristic vectors and inter activity model can be constructed and used.

In this paper, we present an Example-based Dialogue System for English conversation tutoring. It aims to provide intelligent one-to-one English conversation tutoring instead of old fashioned language education with static multimedia materials. This system can understand poor expressions of students and it enables green hands to engage in a dialogue in spite of their poor linguistic ability, which gives students interesting motivation to learn a foreign language. And this system also has educational functionalities to improve the linguistic ability. To achieve these goals, we have developed a statistical natural language understanding module for understanding poor expressions and an example-based dialogue manager with high domain scalability and several effective tutoring methods.
