The purpose of this research was to implement and verify an information retrieval(IR) system based on users' relevance criteria for information search tasks. For this purpose, we implemented an IR system with a dynamic ranking model using users' relevance criteria varying with the types of information search task and evaluated this system through user experiment. 45 participants performed three information search tasks on both IR systems with a static and a dynamic ranking model. Three Information search tasks are fact finding search task, problem solving search task and decision making search task. Participants evaluated top five search results on 7 likert scales of relevance. We observed that the IR system with a dynamic ranking model provided more relevant search results compared to the system with a static ranking model. This research has significance in designing IR system for information search tasks, in testing the validity of user-oriented relevance judgement model by implementing an IR system for actual information search tasks and in relating user research to the improvement of an IR system.

인터넷을 등장으로, 끊임없이 늘어나는 정보의 양은 오히려 사용자의 정보 습득을 어렵게 만들었다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 검색된 정보에 우선 순위를 부여함으로써 사용자가 원하는 정보를 선별할 수 있는 방법이 등장하였다. 하지만, 이는 사용자의 일시적인 질의만을 가지고 정보의 우선 순위를 결정하기 때문에 사용자가 다시 판단해야 하는 부담을 안게 되었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 내용 기반의 정보 검색(Content-Based Information Retrieval) 방법과 더불어 사용자의 기호를 반영하는 사용자 선호도 기반의 정보 여과(Information Filtering) 방법, 그룹 선호도 기반의 협동적 정보 여과(Collaborative Filtering) 방법을 사용하여 사용자의 요구에 선결조건으로 하며, 구축된 선호도는 벡터로써 표현되어 정보와의 유사도(degree of similarity) 계산에 사용된다. 제안된 방법을 실험하기 위해 MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class) 관련 학습 사이트를 구현하여 사용자 등록을 받았다. 이 과정에서 사용자에게 여러 가지 프로파일을 요구하였으며, 변화하는 사용자의 기호를 반영하기 위해 지속적으로 사용자의 행동을 관찰하였다. 이렇게 구축된 사용자 선호도를 바탕으로 제안된 방법을 실험하고 사용자의 feedback을 통해 결과에 대한 평가를 받아, 논문에서 제안된 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

Genetic algorithms based on the theory of natural selection, have been applied to many different fields, and have proven to be relatively robust means to search for global optimum and handle discontinuous or even discrete data. Genetic algorithms are widely used for unconstrained optimization problems. However, their application to constrained optimization problems remains unsettled. The most prevalent technique for coping with infeasible solutions is to penalize a population member for constraint violation. But, the weighting of a penalty for a particular problem constraint is usually determined in the heuristic way. Therefore this paper proposes, the effective technique for handling constraints, the ranking penalty method and hybrid genetic algorithms. And this paper proposes dynamic mutation tate to maintain the diversity in population. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is tested on several test problems and results are discussed.

This research aims to understand the role of online reviews in the local search context by examining the effects of reviews on the representation of tourism businesses on local search platforms (LSPs). By simulating tourists' local searches for restaurants on three LSPs, namely Google, Bing, and Yelp, this study examines how different ranking results are generated across the platforms and how online reviews contribute to the differences. The findings suggest that online reviews are incorporated into LSPs as ranking factors and, thus, affect tourists' decision-making by influencing the information search results in the local search context. As one of the earliest studies on local search, this study discusses how the existing knowledge about the role of online reviews in tourists' decision-making needs to be reevaluated in mobile and more dynamic environments, and offers practical implications for tourism businesses' search engine marketing.

The high-speed network permits Grid computing to handle large problem of management areas and share various computational resources. As there are many resources and changes of them in Grid computing, the resources should be detected effectively and matched correctly with tasks to provide high performance. In this paper, we propose a mechanism that maximizes the performance of Grid computing systems. According to a priority, grade and site of heterogeneous resources, we assign tasks to those resources. Initially, a volunteer's priority and ranking are determined by static information like as CPU speed, RAM size, storage size and network bandwidth. And then, the rank of resources is decided by considering dynamic information such as correctness, response time, and error rate. We find that overall Grid system performance is improved and high correctness using resource reallocation mechanism is achieved.

The number of interconnected real-world devices such as sensors, actuators, and physical devices has increased with the advancement of technology. Due to this advancement, users face difficulties searching for the location of these devices, and the central issue is the findability of Things. In the WoT environment, keyword-based and geospatial searching approaches are used to locate these devices anywhere and on the web interface. A few static methods of indexing and ranking are discussed in the literature, but they are not suitable for finding devices dynamically. The authors have proposed a mechanism for dynamic and efficient searching of the devices in this paper. Indexing and ranking approaches can improve dynamic searching in different ways. The present paper has focused on indexing for improving dynamic searching and has indexed the Things Description in Solr. This paper presents the Things Description according to the model of W3C JSON-LD along with the open-access APIs. Search efficiency can be analyzed with query response timings, and the accuracy of response timings is critical for search results. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have evaluated their approach by analyzing the search query response timings and the accuracy of their search results. This study utilized different indexing approaches such as key-words-based, spatial, and hybrid. Results indicate that response time and accuracy are better with the hybrid approach than with keyword-based and spatial indexing approaches.

This paper presents a new systematic contingency selection, screening and ranking method for on-line transient security assessment. Transient stability of a particular generator is influenced most by fault near it. Fault at the transmission lines adjacent to the generators are selected as contingency. Two screening methods are developed using the sensitivity of modal synchronizing torque coefficient and computing an approximate critical clearing time(CCT) without time simulation. The first method, which considers only synchronizing power, may mislead in some cases since it does not consider the acceleration power. The approximate CCT method, which consider both the acceleration and deceleration power, worked well. Finally the Single Machine Equivalent(SIME) method is implemented using IPLAN of PSS/E for detailed stability analysis.

This paper describes a hierarchical method for image-based age estimation that combines age group classification and age value estimation. The proposed method uses a coarse-to-fine strategy with different appearance features to describe facial shape and texture. Considering the damage to continuity between neighboring groups caused by fixed divisions during age group classification, a dynamic grouping technique is employed to allow non-fixed groups. Based on the given group, an ordinal hyperplane ranking (OHRank) model is employed to transform age estimation into a series of binary enquiry problems that can take advantage of the intrinsic correlation and ordinal information of age. A set of experiments on FG-NET are presented and the results demonstrate the validity of our solution.

This study compares the results of two Importance-Performance Analyses (IPA) on the convention destination images in Korea by meeting and exhibition planners. Meeting and convention planners carefully evaluate convention destinations by considering meeting room facilities, hotel service quality, safety/security, air transportation access and hotel room availability as the most important attributes of a convention destination. On the other hand, night life, exhibition facilities, scenery/sightseeing opportunities, food and lodging costs and restaurant facilities are considered as the least important attributes of a convention destination. The study revealed that convention destination attributes ranking is dynamic and continuous evaluation should be done to determine the current perception of the meeting and exhibition planners. Meeting and exhibition planners' importance grid of the convention attributes is dynamic and changed with the environment and needs of their clientele. In this study it was noted that the ranking for some attributes has dramatically changed.
