As the importance of container ships in maritime transport grows, the demand and supply for such vessels have been increasing. To reduce costs and improve operational efficiency, container shipping lines have formed shipping alliances, engaging in joint operations and vessel-sharing arrangements. Since the establishment of these alliances in 1995, they have evolved in various forms. In 2024, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd announced the formation of a new shipping alliance, the 'Gemini Cooperation,' set to begin in February 2025, signaling a potential realignment of shipping alliances. This shift will significantly impact operations of ports like Busan. In the case of Busan Port, the inability of a single terminal to accommodate large shipping alliance vessels has led to an increased reliance on multiple terminals, which in turn has caused an increase of inter-terminal transportation cost and a decrease in operational ef iciency. Therefore, this paper aimed to examine changes in shipping alliances since 2012, analyze the current usage of container terminals at Busan Port, and propose strategies for efficient port operations in response to expected realignment of shipping alliances.

In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme for asynchronous cooperative communications. Exploiting the combination of OFDM symbols at the source node and simple operations including sign change and complex product at the relay node, the proposed scheme can achieve cooperative diversity gain without use of time-reversion and shifting operations that the conventional scheme proposed by Li and Xia needs. In addition, by using the cyclic prefix (CP) removal and insertion operations at the relay node, the proposed scheme does not suffer from a considerable degradation of bit-error-rate (BER) performance even though perfect timing synchronization is not achieved at the relay node. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the BER performance of the proposed scheme is much superior to that of the conventional scheme in the presence of timing synchronization error at the relay node. It is also shown that the proposed scheme obtains two times higher diversity gain compared with the conventional scheme at the cost of half reduction in transmission efficiency.

Delegation of signing capability is a common practice in various applications. Mambo et al. proposed a proxy signatures as a solutions for delegation of signing capability. Proxy signatures allow a designated proxy signer to sign on behalf of an original signer. After the concept of proxy signature scheme is proposed, many variants are proposed to support more general delegation setting. To capture all possible delegation structures, the concept of delegation network was proposed by Aura. ID-based cryptography, which is suited for flexible environment, is desirable to construct a delegation network. Chow et al proposed an ID-based delegation network. In the computational point of view, their solution requires E pairing operations and N elliptic curve scalar multiplications where E and N are the number of edges and nodes in a delegation structure, respectively. In this paper, we proposed an efficient ID-based delegation network which requires only E pairing operations. Moreover, we can design a modified delegation network that requires only N pairing operations.

The duty-free industry before COVID-19 has continuously grown since 2000, along with the increase of demand in tourism industry. To cope with the increased demand, the duty free companies have kept the strategies which focused on the sales volume. Therefore, they have developed the ways to increase the volume and capacity, not the efficient operations. In the most of previous research, however, authors have proposed the better strategies for marketing and supporting policies. It is very hard to find the previous research which dealt with the operations like logistics and inventory management. Therefore, in this study, it has been predicted the future demand of frequently purchased items in airport duty free shops based on the estimated number of departing passengers by the linear regression, which concluded with the appropriate inventory level. In addition, it has been analyzed the expected effects by introducing the inventory management policy considering the cost and efficiency of operations. Based on the results of this study, it may be possible to reduce total cost and improve productivity by predicting the excessive inventory problems at duty-free shops and improving cycles of supplying items.

This paper proposes a torque assist strategy for operating a hybrid agricultural tractor in the field. In general, different field operations such as baling and rotary tillage require different patterns and amounts of torque. Thus, a large agricultural tractor is used to improve the farming efficiency. Therefore, this research has the goal of developing a hybrid tractor that uses a small electric motor to provide additional torque for specific field operations. To achieve this objective, a rule-based torque assist strategy is proposed and validated for a simulation model in the Autonomie framework, which is a commercial simulation tool. Finally, the work efficiencies and fuel consumptions of a conventional tractor and the hybrid tractor with the proposed torque assist strategy are compared using simulations.

Balanced encoding method that implement Dual-rail logic style based on hardware technique to software is efficient countermeasure against side-channel analysis without additional memory. Since balanced encoding keep Hamming weight and/or Hamming distance of intermediate values constantly, using this method can be effective as countermeasure against side channel analysis due to elimination of intermediate values having HW and/or HD relating to secret key. However, former studies were presented for Constant XOR operation, which can only be applied to crypto algorithm that can be constructed XOR operation, such as PRINCE. Therefore, our first proposal of new Constant ADD, Shift operations can be applied to various symmetric crypto algorithms based on ARX. Moreover, we did not used look-up table to obtain efficiency in memory usage. Also, we confirmed security of proposed Constant operations with Mutual Information Analysis.

Among the operations in frequency domain for ADSL G.LITE Modem to perform, FFT and FEQ are most computation-intensive part, of which many researches have been focused on the efficient implementation. Previous papers suggested hardwares suitable for ADSL G.DMT system, which is not feasible for simple G.LITE system. The analysis of frequency domain operations and computational efficiency according to the allocation of hardware resources is performed in this paper. The suggested processor has the structure of one real multiplier and two real adders connected in parallel, which can perform the operations efficiently through the pipeline- and/or parallel-type job scheduling. The suggested processor uses less hardware resources than Kiss\`s ALU structure or FFT/IFFT processor suggested by Wang, so the suggested one is more suitable for G.LITE system than previous works.

This paper describes the development of an automated operational orbit processing system (KGS automated Operational Orbit Processing System, KOOPS), which can determine, evaluate, update, and generate the orbit data automatically. Developed system can be applied to the multi satellite mission operations as a generic satellite orbit processing system in that the KOOPS has a capability to process various kinds of tracking data and assign pre and post processes according to the satellite system respectively. Results of applying the KOOPS to the KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 mission operations show that man power is greatly reduced and the efficiency and stability of the mission operations are significantly increased. The experiences to develop the KOOPS and operate multi satellite missions using this system can be applied to enhance the multi and generic flight dynamics system further.

Event-based service technology integrate service to detect events that occur in real time by analyzing the response. Is the core technology for real-time business and ubiquitous service environment construction. Is required event-based service technology on business processes in real-time business environment that providing rapid response to changing and custom service using a variety of information real-time monitoring and analysis in ubiquitous service environment. Last event-driven business processes can be used as a CEP(Complex Event Processing). The core of CEP technology, the event from multiple event sources analysis of events affecting and the way to handle action, is detect complex event to user. In previous studies, an event occurs that continue to perform without the need for partial operations. so many operations and spend a lot of memory is a problem. To solve these problems, event detection technique is proposed that large streams of data without processing any events, registered to configure a complex event occurs when all events in the application layer, complex event processing. The proposed method, first using a bitmap index to manage the event occurs. The complex events of the last event in response to define a trigger event. The occurrence of an event to display a bitmap index, a composite event occurrence of all event to configure the test through the point at which a trigger event occurs. Is proposed, If any event occurs to perform the operation. The proposed scheme perform operations when all event occurs without events having to perform each of the tests. As a result, avoid unnecessary operations and reducing the number of events to handle the increased efficiency of operations.

Purpose - We live in a world of constant change and competition. Many airports have specific competitiveness goals and strategies for achieving and maintaining them. The global economic recession, financial crises, and rising oil prices have resulted in an increasingly important role for facility investment and renewal and the implementation of appropriate policies in ensuring the competitive advantage for airports. It is thus important to analyze the factors that enhance efficiency and productivity for an airport. This study aims to determine the efficiency levels of 20 major airports in East Asia, Europe, and North America. Further, this study also suggests suitable policies and strategies for their development. Research design, data, and methodology - This paper employs the DEA-CCR, DEA-BCC, and DEA-Malmquist production index analysis models to determine airport efficiency. The study uses data on the efficiency and productivity of the world's leading airports between 2006 and 2010. The input variables include the airport size, the number of runways, the size of passenger terminals, and the size of cargo terminals. The output variables include the annual number of passengers and the annual cargo volume. The study uses basic data from the 2010 World Airport Traffic Report (ACI). The world's top 20 airports (as rated by the ACI report) are investigated. The study uses the expanded DEA Model and the Super Efficiency Model to identify the most effective airports among the top 20. The Malmquist productivity index analysis is used to measure airport effectiveness. Results - This study analyzes longitudinal and cross-sectional data on the world's top 20 airports covering 2006 to 2010. A CCR analysis shows that the most efficient airports in 2010 were Gatwick Airport (LGW), Zurich Airport (ZRH), Vienna Airport (VIE), Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport (FCO), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA), San Francisco Airport (SFO), HongKong Airport (HKG), Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), and Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG). We find that changes in airport productivity are affected more by technical factors than by airport efficiency. Conclusions - Based on the study results, we offer four airport development proposals. First, a benchmark airport needs to be identified. Second, inefficiency must be reduced and high-cost factors need to be managed. Third, airport operations should be enhanced through technical innovation. Finally, scientific demand forecasting and facility preparation must become the focus of attention. This paper has some limitations. Because the Malmquist productivity index is based on the hypothesis of the, the identified production change could be over- or under-estimated. Further, as DEA estimates the relative efficiency. It also cannot generalize to include all airport conditions because the variables are limited. To measure airport productivity more accurately, other input variables and environmental variables such as financial and policy factors should be included.
