  • To maintain the normal function of an aging building, regular inspection, repair, and reinforcement must be performed. However, the form of information and decision-making generated in the current building maintenance stage still depends on inefficient methods. This causes an increase in cost and waste of time in building maintenance. Therefore, this study proposed a COBie-IM document for building inspection and maintenance information management by benchmarking COBie, and suggested a method of checking information by linking it with BIM. In addition, a method for visualizing the designation of colors according to the damage grade of defects occurring in the building was suggested. Through this, we are able to systematically integrate and manage the information generated during inspection and maintenance in the building maintenance stage. This is expected to increase work efficiency by supporting decision-making that determines the priority of repair and reinforcement for defects.

  • In this paper, we propose an anycast event driven synchronization mechanism to reduce power overheads. Our proposed mechanism can reduce unnecessary polling operations on SHI(Snoop Hit Invalidate) or SHR(Snoop Hit Read) states. It prevents waisting bandwidth and reduces power overheads on polling operation. Also it decreases transition power of state change compared to broadcast model. Simulation results indicated that the proposed architecture had about 15.3% of power decrease compared to spin-lock model and about 4.7% of power decrease compared to broadcast model. Overall results indicated that proposed synchronization mechanism could increase power efficiency of multi-core system by reducing power overheads.

  • The transmission valuation methodology we propose here captures the interaction between generation and transmission investment decisions recognizing that a transmission expansion can impact the profitability of new resources investment, so that a methodology should consider both the objectives of investors in resources and the transmission planner. In this perspective, this paper purports to develop the mixed-integer programming based transmission expansion planning optimization software, which is well designed to determine the construction time and place of new generators, transmission lines, and substations as well as their capacities to minimize total expenditures related to their investment and operations while meeting technical constraints such as capacity margin, constitution ratio of power resources, spinning reserves, energy and fuel constraints, transmission line outages and losses, pi-type branching, and so on. Finally, Garver's simple system is adopted to validate not simply the accuracy but the efficiency of the proposed model in this paper.

  • Information Technology(IT) was introduced to the business as a means of improving operational efficiency. Nowadays, IT has become an essential component of an organization's survival. Almost no operations of an organization can be performed without IT. The benefits of using IT in organizations can not be underestimated. Some organizations have flourished because of the competitive advantages derived from the IT systems they have developed. Most IT systems, however, have been extended, changed and integrated with ad-hoc and makeshift solutions without thinking long-range view. It results in high maintenance cost and uncontrolled system for managing information resources. Especially, public institutions under the Project-Based System (PBS) have some problems in keeping a good management systems for information resource, because they are usually operated for a set period. Therefore, we propose the framework how to efficiently manage the IT assets and resources based on the Information Technology Architecture (ITA) that is introduced for the overall optimization of IT investment, change management and inter-operability.

  • As the rapid increase of highway investments from Private sector the organizations of highway operator became diversified, and thus causing various unexpected problems. Highways invested by private capitals have different fare rates and managing systems. It is desirable to reduce drivers' inconvenience using more than two sections of highways spread over different jurisdictions. The main purposes of this research are i) data survey and problem statements ii) prediction of future problems and preparing appropriate countermeasures. This research are divided into two parts. They are management system and fare collection system. Major investigations of this study are as follows, optimum toll operation models depend on charging systems and interchange shapes of two interconnecting expressways. Assuming that the current payment and the new electronic payment system aye used concurrently for a while, some alternatives for the inter-operation to collect tolls ate suggested focusing on the efficiency to tollway corporations as well as convenience to drivers. The advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives, including their characteristics, are compared.

  • Traffic signal control methods are suggested to improve the operational effectiveness of COSMOS system in Seoul. First. a method that improves progression of the corridor traffic flow within a common sub-area was explored. Applying this method, both frequency and magnitude of offset transition were reduced as compared to the existing method. In addition, the level of connection among neighboring corridors increased by applying the method, thus the qualify of progression was also improved. Second, a practical guideline on signal phase design was proposed to improve the efficiency of actuated operations for the left-turn movement. Last, a method for estimating optimal queue length parameters was surveyed and evaluated. An evaluation study was performed for the suggested methods through both field and simulation studies. Results showed that the proposed methods gave better performance than the existing methods. It is expected that the use of proposed methods can improve operational performance of COSMOS.

  • Grid computing is a new generation computing technology which organizes virtual high-performance computing system by connecting and sharing geographically distributed heterogeneous resources, and performing large-scaled computing operations. In order to maximize the performance of grid computing, job scheduling is essential which allocates jobs to resources effectively. Many studies have been performed which minimize total completion times, etc. However, resource costs are also important, and through the minimization of resource costs, the overall performance of grid computing and economic efficiency will be improved. So in this paper, we propose a multi-objective job scheduling model considering both time and cost. This model derives from the optimal scheduling solution using NSGA-II, which is a multi objective genetic algorithm, and guarantees the effectiveness of the proposed model by executing experiments with those of existing scheduling models such as Min-Min and Max-Min models. Through experiments, we prove that the proposed scheduling model minimizes time and cost more efficiently than existing scheduling models.

  • Audio Video Standard (AVS) is the audio and video compression standard that was developed for domestic video applications in China. AVS employs low complexity tools to minimize degradation of RD performance of the state-the-art video codec, H.264/AVC. The AVS video codec consists of $8{\times}8$ block prediction and the same size transform to improve compression efficiency for VGA and higher resolution sequences. Currently, the AVS has been adopted more and more for IPTV services and mobile applications in China. So, many consumer electronics companies and multimedia-related laboratories have been developing applications and chips for the AVS. In this paper, we implemented the AVS video decoder and optimize it on TI's Davinci EVM DSP board. For improving the decoding speed and clocks, we removed unnecessary memory operations and we also used high-speed VLD algorithm, linear assembly, intrinsic functions and so forth. Test results show that decoding speed of the optimized decoder is $5{\sim}7$ times faster than that of the reference software (RM 5.2J).
