The Bayesian approach can be used to estimate hydrologic model parameters from the prior expert knowledge about the parameter values and the observed data. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of the two Bayesian methods, the Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm and the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) method. These two methods were applied to the TANK model, a hydrological model comprising 13 parameters, to examine the uncertainty of the parameters of the model. The TANK model comprises a combination of multiple reservoir-type virtual vessels with orifice-type outlets and implements a common major hydrological process using the runoff calculations that convert the rainfall to the flow. As a result of the application to the Nam River A watershed, the two Bayesian methods yielded similar flow simulation results even though the parameter estimates obtained by the two methods were of somewhat different values. Both methods ensure the model's prediction accuracy even when the observed flow data available for parameter estimation is limited. However, the prediction accuracy of the model using the MH algorithm yielded slightly better results than that of the GLUE method. The flow duration curve calculated using the limited observed flow data showed that the marginal reliability is secured from the perspective of practical application.

The realization of carbon neutrality requires cooperation from various stakeholders and the utilization of a governance system. The criteria for participating members are crucial for the successful operation of governance, and it is especially necessary for experts who can provide scientific advice for policy implementation to share a framework for successful consensus. In this study, governance model theory and model structure, governance common success factors by case, and the application of governance cases in the climate and environmental sector of Seoul, were investigated and analyzed to derive common success factors in order to present the activity standards of the science and technology experts participating in governance. The study of the model theory suggested that the model structure is commonly composed of a basic condition-process-result structure, and it was confirmed that common success factors can be derived at the process stage which is the activity period of members. Through the case study of common success factors, overlapping factors were found to be reliability, accountability, transparency, networks, and related factors. The validity of the common success factors was verified using the analysis results of satisfaction survey data from Seoul Governance Committee participants. The results confirmed that reliability was the most valuable factor followed by networks, transparency, and responsibility, and it was found that the related factors were appropriately derived. The findings of this study are expected to be used as an activity factor for science and technology experts to increase the acceptability and effectiveness of carbon-neutral policies in the future.

Advances in information communication technology (ICT) require new paradigms in every aspect of our society. In this sense, schools are supposed to educate students to solve real-world problems with ICT. However, schools have not provided quality education to students for learning ICT and applying it. It is thus necessary to develop various ICT instruction models for creative students to lead the information society. One of the popular instruction models using the Web is the project-based model. The model includes inquiry activities of areas, such as variety of subjects, real-world problems, issues, and presentation activities of study results. The model also encourages interactions among students for achieving common goals. In this paper, we present an ICT application instruction which provides four major enhancements to the existing project-based model. The stages of model consist of eight activities type and supporting tools. Also, we implement our proposed model for some elementary school courses.

This study was carried out to propose the new procedure to apply Habitat Evaluation Procedure(HEP) of target species using delphi technique, which is suitable to develop endangered species with few researches and ecological knowledges. To identify habitat quality of specific species in development project site, we can develop habitat model and create habitat suitability maps. In this study, we select the Common Kestrel(Falco tinnunculus) as target species in four areas(Paju, Siheung, Ansan, Hwaseong) which is located near the Seoul metropolitan area. The Delphi technique was selected to get the reliable information on the species and habitats requirements. Through the delphi approach, seven habitat components were determined as suitable variables for the Common Kestrel: density($n/km^2$) of small mammals, area($km^2$) of bare-grounds, pasturelands and riparian, and open area(%), spatial distribution and area of croplands, landscape diversity, breeding sites(tall trees, cliffs, high-rise buildings), and the length of shelf. Habitat variables used in this model were classified into two categories: % of suitable land-cover type(open areas, croplands, pasturelands, wetlands, and baregrounds) and the quality of feeding sites(within 250m from edges of woodlands). Habitat quality of the Common Kestrel was assessed against occurred sites derived from the nationwide survey. Predicted habitat suitability map were closely related to the observed sites of the endangered avian species in the study areas. With the habitat suitability map of the Common Kestrel, we assess the environmental impacts with habitat loss after development project in environmental impact assessment.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is the future network paradigm of decoupling control and data functions. In SDN structure, it is hard to address scalability in case of large-scale networks because single controller managed thousands of switches in a centralized fashion. Most of previous studies have focused on horizontal scalability, where distributed controllers are assigned to network devices. However, they have abstracted the control plane and the application plane into a single controller. The layer of the common SDN architecture is divided into data plane, control plane, and application plane, but the control plane and application plane have been modeled as a single controller although they are logically separated. In this paper, we propose a analytical traffic model considering the both application plane and control plane based on queuing theory. This model can be used to address scalability issues such as controller placement problem without complicated simulations.

In the development of MDMS(Meter Data Management System) based on CIM(Common Information Model), which is international standard in information model and data exchange on power system, the two focused issues are the effective management of data collected in a shorter time period and the way to integrate services supporting legacy system to use the AMI(AMI, Advanced Metering Infrastructure) data. In this paper, we propose MDMS implementation methods and functions in AMI environment which are differ from existing AMR system environments in that the methods support bi-directional service infrastructure. The proposed MDMS in this paper has two unique features, one is the secure of interoperability by utilizing the CIM and ESB, the other is the improvement of field application by implementing system module based on components. On an implementation of smart grid, the result of proposed methods is expected to contribute to the efficient development and operation of CIM-based power system.

Recently, medical IT solutions are being provided on a distributed environment basis. In Korea, the necessity of developing a clinical decision support system that can share medical information in a distributed environment has been recognized and studied. The existing clinical decision support system is being built using only medical information of its own within the hospital. This makes it difficult for existing systems to achieve good results in terms of efficiency and accuracy of decision support. In order to solve these limitations, this paper proposes a design and implementation method of clinical decision support system based on common data model in medical field. To explain the application process of the proposed model, we describe the development scenario of the clinical decision support system for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. We also propose the essential requirements for the development of successful clinical decision support systems. Through this, it is expected that it will be possible to develop clinical decision support system that can be used in various hospitals and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the system.

While there are many successful cases where application of the TQM model has reaped substantial benefits (Corcoran, 1996; Hayday, 1996 and Massey, 1996), there is little attempt to further develop the TQM model to meet organisations' development needs. The purpose of this paper is introduce the process of development of a fit-for-purpose management system model to meet the development needs of the MTR Corporation Limited, a metro company of Hong Kong. The new management system model is formulated based on the previous research results, on TQM but comprises a new approach to bridging their pitfalls. The formulation of the TMS elements is based on the common factors of four National Quality Awards (Japan, USA, Europe and Australia) and the critical factors developed by seven studies. These studies include those of Saraph et al. (1989), Flynn et al. (1994), Anderson et al. (1995), Powell (1995), Handfield and Ghosh (1995), Black and Porter (1996), and Ahire et al. (1996).

It has been well known that traffic accidents occur under combined functional contributions of drivers, vehicles and road facilities, and that evaluation of safety levels for a specific road section or point is generally much complicated. Additionally, most of traffic accidents occur randomly implicating it is necessary to be evaluated in terms of probability theory. Thus, the evaluation model which reflects various characteristics and probabilistic distributions of traffic accidents has been necessary. The present paper provides a reliability based model with variables of probabilistic operating speeds and design speeds together which have been individually explaining associated characteristics in traffic accidents. Consequently, the model made it possible for speed management and road improvement projects to be evaluated in a common index. Application studies were performed in three cases. Through the studies, couples of facts were identified that the model successfully considered the probabilistic operating speeds and design speeds together and that then, the model evaluated road safety alternatives relatively which are complicatedly characterized and differently located.
