The application of 4PL could allow for the efficiency of many logistics operations to be greatly increased, for costs to be reduced, and for operations to become more responsive to consumer demand. It is also possible that higher services level and lower cost products could become available as a consequence. However, in order to implementing 4PL actually it is very important to be met to fundamental determinants of 4PL such as formation of logistics experts group, providing of total logistics service, capacity of IT, implementation of e-Business model, capacity of logistics consulting, higher logistics service level, logistics cost reduction, re-engineering of logistics process, focus of core competence etc.

The computation of a terminal-pair reliability is started with a Boolean sum of products expression corresponding to simple paths of the pair of nodes. This expression is then transformed into another equivalent expression to be a Sum of Disjoint Products form. The terminal reliability can then be obtained in a straightforward manner from the Sum of Disjoint Products form. In this paper, we proposed an efficient method to obtain reliability expressions for calculating multiple K terminal-pairs reliability between terminal-pairs of nodes of computers of complex networks. Actual programming results show that the new method is superior with regard to computational efficiency, especially for computing the reliability of multiple terminals.

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based power switching devices, such as high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMT), provide significant performance improvements in terms of faster switching speed, zero reverse recovery, and lower on-state resistance compared with conventional silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET). These benefits of GaN HEMTs further lead to low loss, high switching frequency, and high power density converters. Through simulation and experimentation, this research thoroughly contributes to the understanding of performance characterization including the efficiency, loss distribution, and thermal behavior of a 160-W GaN-based synchronous boost converter under various output voltage, load current, and switching frequency operations, as compared with the state-of-the-art Si technology. Original suggestions on design considerations to optimize the GaN converter performance are also provided.

This paper proposes an ant-based routing algorithm, Ant System-Routing in wireless Senor Networks(AS-RSN), for wireless sensor networks. Using a transition rule in Ant System, sensors can spread data traffic over the whole network to achieve energy balance, and consequently, maximize the lifetime of sensor networks. The transition rule advances one of the original Ant System by re-defining link cost which is a metric devised to consider energy-sufficiency as well as energy-efficiency. This metric gives rise to the design of the AS-RSN algorithm devised to balance the data traffic of sensor networks in a decentralized manner and consequently prolong the lifetime of the networks. Therefore, AS-RSN is scalable in the number of sensors and also robust to the variations in the dynamics of event generation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by comparing three existing routing algorithms: Direct Communication Approach, Minimum Transmission Energy, and Self-Organized Routing and find that energy balance should be considered to extend lifetime of sensor network and increase robustness of sensor network for diverse event generation patterns.

In this papur, the STATCOM (STATic synchronous COMpensator) application for efficient operations of wind farm is described. The wind farm connected with the electric power network is one of good alternative energy sources. However, it would be also highly possible that interconnection of wind farm causes unwanted influences on distribution system operation, protection and control. This paper proposes the STATCOM application for reducing the negative effects from interconnection of wind farm with distribution networks. The simulation results show that STATCOM would be on effective and useful device to resolve the bad influences from wind farm on distribution networks and improve the operational efficiency of wind farm. In the simulation, the radial distribution network of IEEE 13 bus was modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the combined productivity at automated container terminal. We present a simulation model for transport vehicle that perform the container transportation between apron and yard with a perpendicular yard layout. Usually, the efficiency of container terminal is evaluated by productivity of container cranes at apron, and though there are enough support of transport vehicles and yard cranes, can improve the productivity of container cranes. Especially, transport vehicle is very important factor in productivity of container cranes and has variable work productivity according to loading and unloading situation. Therefore, a method that can estimate combined productivity of equipment is required. We performed various simulation experiment and analyzed combined productivity to estimate the required number of equipment.

The competitiveness of the manufacturing company is evaluated in terms of line productivity, quality cost, inventory level, logistics efficiency, and so on. The productivity is defined by the number of products divided by the number of workers within the given operation time. Increasing the productivity is not easy to man-operated situation in the line, since it heavily depends on the standard time of the workers. This paper deals with the productivity of the Back Light Unit assembler for TFT-LCD, and proposes the methodology of investigating the optimal process by simulation of Arena.

Fully homomorphic encryption(FHE) scheme may be the best method to solve the privacy leakage problem in the untrusted servers because of its ciphertext calculability. However, the existing FHE schemes are still not being put into the practical applications due to their low efficiency. Therefore, it is imperative to find a more efficient FHE scheme or to optimize the existing FHE schemes so that they can be put into the practical applications. In this paper, we optimize GSW scheme by using the parallel computing, and finally we get a high-performance FHE scheme, namely PGSW scheme. Experimental results show that the time overhead of the homomorphic operations in new FHE scheme will be reduced manyfold with the increasing of processing units number. Therefore, our scheme can greatly reduce the running time of homomorphic operations and improve the performance of FHE scheme through sacrificing hardware resources. It can be seen that our FHE scheme can catalyze the development of FHE.

This study presents a new estimation of optimal amount of B/L for infantry rifles and artillery weapons which are currently using in Korean Army. To do that, we analyzed current concept of B/L and methodologies used to compute B/L before, and re-calculate optimal amount of B/L to solve some problems founded. We also applied ARENA simulation model to propose estimated values of optimal B/L. The proposed optimal B/L will certainly help to improve efficiency for wartime readiness in the future.

This work has improved the method of Kim and Gal's (6) in that of requiring less response of the DM(decision maker) and ease of reply. The underlying notion is the MCDC(maximally changeable dominance cone) for describing all efficient solutions under the particular preference structure. According to the DM's partial preference expression, enlarging the MCDC is achieved, which results in reducing the solutions needed to take into consideration. The cone generators corresponding to the DM's response are added to the MCDC, which results the MCDC is enlarged. Adopting the scheme of pairwise comparison as a means of acquiring preference attitude, an improved interactive method is proposed. And also, a scheme of choosing a reference point is suggested to achieve the computational efficiency.
