  • In 2006, Janet Wing defined computational thinking and operated SW education as a formal curriculum in the UK in 2013. This study collected related research papers by using computational thinking, which has recently increased in importance, and analyzed it using text mining. In the first, CONCOR analysis was conducted with the keyword of computational thinking. In the second, text mining of the components of computational thinking was selected by the repr23esentative academic journals at domestic and foreign. As a result of the two-time analysis, first, abstraction, algorithm, data processing, problem decomposition, and pattern recognition were the core of the study of computational thinking component. Second, research on convergence education centered on computational thinking and science and mathematics subjects was actively conducted. Third, research on computational thinking has been expanding since 2010. Research and development of the classification and definition of computational thinking and components and applying them to education sites should be conducted steadily.

  • As software education was introduced through the 2015 revised curriculum, various research activities have been carried out to improve the computational thinking of learners beyond the existing ICT literacy and software utilization education. With this change, the purpose of this study is to examine the research trends of various research activities related to computational thinking which is emphasized in software education. To this end, we extracted the key words from 190 papers related to computational thinking subject published from January 2014 to September 2019, and conducted frequency analysis, word cloud, connection centrality, and topic modeling analysis on the words. As a result of the topical modeling analysis, we found that the main studies so far have included studies on 'computational thinking education program', 'computational thinking education for pre-service teacher education', 'robot utilization education for computational thinking', 'assessment of computational thinking', and 'computational thinking connected education'. Through this research method, it was possible to grasp the research trend related to computational thinking that has been conducted mainly up to now, and it is possible to know which part of computational thinking education is more important to researchers.

  • We have developed an information management tool for the EDISON (EDucation-research Integration through Simulation On the Net) open platform. EDISON is, at present, a web-based simulation service for education and research in five computational areas, namely, nanophysics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design. The EDISON open platform consists of three tiers: EDISON application framework, EDISON middleware, and EDISON infra-resources. The platform provides web portals for education and research in areas such as computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, computational nanophysics, computational structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design along with user service. The main purpose of this research is to test the behavior of the release version of the EDISON Open-Platform under normal operating conditions. This management tool has been implemented using the RESTful API designed in EDISON middleware. The intention is to check co-operation between the middleware and the infrastructure. Suggested tools include User management, Simulation and Job management, and Simulation software (i.e., solver) testing. Finally, it is considered meaningful to develop a management tool that is not supported in other web-based online simulation services.

  • The interest in the Fourth Industrial Revolution along with the development of ICT makes the software get the attention of the world. This phenomenon naturally leads to the concern for software education. Learning software coding is not easy for students whose major is in humanities or social sciences. This paper is a study of how cognition on software education affects to education of computational thinking. For research method, moderator variables were adopted on the proposed research model to prove that positive cognition can derive good influence on improvement of computational thinking. To find out moderator variables of the research model, we have conducted the questionnaire over three years for total of 928 students who took the software coding courses. As the result of the study, we proved that the positive cognition on software education can make the better improvement of computational thinking within proper moderator variables.

  • In the $21^{st}$ century, IT reform has led to the development of cyber-infrastructure owing to the outstanding enhancement of computer and network performance. The ripple effect has continued to increase. Accordingly, this study suggests a new computational research environment using mobile devices. In order to simplify the access of supercomputer, Science AppStore, task management and virtualization technologies are developed on mobile devices. User can be able to research by utilizing computational science SW such as compressible flow solver and nano device simulation tool that in installed on supercomputer in mobile environments. Also, this research environment makes it possible to monitor the simulation result and covers 14 university, 33 subjects, and 1,202 individuals.

  • Open Science is evolving not only to share research results, but also to open the research process. We are developing the EDISON platform for the spread of open science in computational science and engineering. The EDISON platform provides online simulation services developed by computational science and engineering researchers. It also provides an environment for sharing source code, data, and related research publications. An effective simulation software registration management system is required for successful service on the EDISON platform. In this paper, we proposes a simulation software management system to provide online simulation service through EDISON platform. The proposed system allows the developer to register the simulation software on the EDISON platform without administrator intervention and effectively build a web-based simulation environment.
