To gain competitive advantage in a fast changing environment, the higher education institution (HEI) must continuously adjust the strategies to that environment. One important strategy is how to determine appropriate practical actions based on what students really need and want. Despite the abundance of research on service quality management, there is no universal consensus on how best to determine appropriate practical actions in HEIs. The aim of this paper is to develop an integrated model to be used to accurately acquire the most critical service attributes and determine appropriate actions that promote student satisfaction. Drawing on relevant literature, an integrated model is proposed which is based on students' perspective by integrating the fuzzy SERVQUAL, refined Kano, and Blue Ocean model. Subsequently, an empirical case study in the higher education sector is described that illustrates the value of the model in determining the most critical attributes and how to improve them.

가상 환경에서 가상 캐릭터가 사람과 같이 자연스럽게 동작하기 위한 과정은 많은 노력을 필요로 한다. 가상 캐릭터는 행동을 기반으로 동작하기 때문에 자연스럽게 동작하기 위해서는 행동 정의가 가장 중요하다. 최근에는 사람이 조작한 가상 캐릭터의 행동을 기반으로 가상 캐릭터가 수행할 일련의 행동을 정의하는 Programming by Demonstration에 관한 연구가 활성화되고 있다. 하지만 이 방법들은 항상 동일한 길이의 연속적인 행동을 도출하거나 연속적인 행동을 정의할 때 사용하는 행동들을 제한하기 때문에 다양한 일련의 행동 생성하기가 어렵다. 자연스럽게 동작을 수행하기 위해서는 조작한 가상 캐릭터의 행동에서 최대한 다양한 일련의 행동들을 도출하고 도출한 일련의 행동들을 대표하는 최적의 연속적인 행동을 선택해야 한다. 그래서 여러 가지의 제약 사항을 줄이면서 일련의 행동을 생성하기 위한 연구들이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 사람이 조작한 캐릭터의 행동을 수집하고 가상 캐릭터가 수행할 일련의 행동을 모두 도출해서 가상 캐릭터에게 적합한 일련의 행동을 선정하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 제안한 방법을 자동차 게임에 적용해서 생성되는 과정을 기술한다. 생성된 결과를 보면 사람이 수행한 일련의 행동을 길이나 분할하는 위치에 제약을 받지 않고 생성한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 결국, 제안한 방법은 더 많은 일련의 행동을 도출하고 가상 캐릭터에게 적합한 행동을 선정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an intelligent technique for data sharing and event transition among personal devices including smart phones, laptops, and desktops. We implemented the PES (Personal Event Service) system that proactively executes appropriate tasks across multiple devices without explicit user requests by sharing the data used by the user and recognizing user intention based on the observed actions of the user for specific devices. The client module of PES installed on each device monitors the user actions and recognizes the intention of the user. The server provides data sharing and maintenance for clients. The connection between client and server is established by Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation). A series of experiments were performed to evaluate user satisfaction and system accuracy, and the results showed that the PES system can proactively provide appropriate, personalized services with a high degree of satisfaction to the user in an effective and efficient manner.

Due to various project delivery methods and the complexity of construction projects in the construction industry, developing the framework of construction management for critical, highly complex projects in the construction industry has become problematic. Currently, a set of construction manuals play a pivotal role in planning and managing construction projects as subcontractors try to complete their scope of work according to the instructions of a general contractor. It is challenging for general contractors to write a construction management procedure manual to cover various types of project delivery methods and construction projects. In construction, the construction procedure manuals describe specific actions to be taken through the project. In reality a few contactors own such manuals and their construction schedules include more construction operation activities. Thus, it is hard to estimate the workload and productivity of construction managers because the manual and the schedule do not present the amount of management efforts required to complete a project. This paper proposes a framework to present construction management tasks according to project delivery methods which can be applied to various construction projects. Actions for management tasks were mapped and were integrated with construction activities throughout the project life cycle. The framework can then be used to give specific instructions to project participants, collect management actions, and replicate management actions throughout the project life cycle. The framework can also be can used to visualize complete construction project to analyze and manage construction management activities in each phase of a project in order to enhance productivity and efficiency. The studies of existing construction manuals were carried out to identify construction managers' responsibilities. An artificial intelligence program, CLIPS (C-Language Integrated Production System) was used to search for appropriate actions for impending tasks from a set of predefined actions to be performed for a given situation. The framework would significantly help construction managers to understand interrelations among management tasks or actions within a project. Furthermore, the framework can be embedded into Building Information Modeling (BIM) or Facility Management Systems (FMS) so that designers and constructors would execute constructability review before construction begins.

The paper explores how information science knowledge can be used systematically in digital, interdisciplinary research settings and gives a conceptual analysis of the relationship between information science knowledge as donor and other research as receiver in an interdisciplinary project environment. The validity of the approach is demonstrated by the author's work on the project "The Primacy of Tense: A. N. Prior Now and Then." The study proposes a hybrid approach, combining analysis and synthesis. The analytical component identifies information systems, assigns an information system type to them, and accesses the information science knowledge associated with that type. The synthetic part focuses on the connections between information systems according to the receiver discipline's practices. The paper makes explicit the actions of experienced information professionals, thereby making their expertise accessible to others. The analytical and synthetic strategies are explained by linking them to two modes of researchers in the receiver discipline, how they act as researchers and what they know about it. The paper offers information professionals concrete assistance with identification of the appropriate strategy for accessing professional knowledge and taking appropriate actions and development decisions.

Korea Shipping Act admits shipping conferences' joint actions like rate agreement, sailing agreement in some degree for development of shipping transport industries for decades. Meanwhile, EU has prohibited all kinds of shipping conferences' joint actions since October 2008, and many advanced countries also have similar position on shipping conference. The balance development between shippers and ship owners is very important in terms of national economic growth. So it is appropriate time to revise related laws such as Shipping Act and Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. First, It is direction for revision of Korean Shipping Act. The act has to define precisely the criteria of "unfairness" in case of admitting of shipping conferences' joint actions. Shipping conferences have a conference with shipper or shipper's delegation substantially on freight and transport conditions and so on. Second, It is direction for revision of Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. The fair trade commission has to perform fair roles between shippers and ship owners. The judgement of fairness has to confirm according to the spirit of not Korea Shipping Act but Korea Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act itself.

Recently, autonomous things, which are pieces of equipment or devices that grasp the context of circumstances on their own and perform actions appropriate for the situation in the surrounding environment, are attracting much research interest. This is because autonomous things are expected to be able to interact with humans more naturally, supersede humans in many tasks, and further solve problems by themselves by collaborating with each other without human intervention. This prospect leans heavily on AI as deep learning has delivered astonishing breakthroughs recently and broadened its range of applications. This paper surveys application trends in deep learning-based AI techniques for autonomous things, especially autonomous driving vehicles, because they present a wide range of problems involving perception, decision, and actions that are very common in other autonomous things.

Over the years, existing bridges have had various degrees of maintenance to extend the service life. As the existing bridges continue to deteriorate, however, each Department of Transportation (DOT) of the United States of America faces increasing demands on the limited funds available for bridge maintenance. Therefore, it is very important for State Department of Transportations to establish Maintenance, Repair, and Rehabilitation (MR&R) strategies for bridge structures such that funds get allocated for appropriate maintenance over the service life. This paper identifies the state-of-art and the state-of-practice of MR&R actions and the use of MR&R strategies in concrete bridge decks. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted to identify the type and timing for MR&R actions as well as existing MR&R strategies taken in concrete bridge deck by each DOT. This paper also presents the results of the survey.
