Recent efforts to develop a common standard for nuclear power plants (NPPs) with the aim of creating (1) a digital environment for a better understanding of NPPs life-cycle management aspect and (2) engineering data interoperability by using existing standards among different unspecified project participants (e.g., owners/operators, engineers, contractors, equipment suppliers) during plants' life cycle process (EPC, O&M, and decommissioning). In order to meet this goal, there is a need for formulating a standardized high-level physical breakdown structure (PBS) for NPPs project management office (PMO). However, high-level PBS must be comprehensive enough and able to represent the different types of plants and the new trends of technologies in the industry. This has triggered the need for addressing the issues of the recent operational NPPs and future technologies' ramification for evaluating the changes in the NPPs physical components in terms of structure, system, and component (SSC) configuration. In this context, this ongoing study examines the recent conventional NPPs and technological trends in the development of future NPPs facilities. New reactor models regarding the overlap of variant issues of nuclear technology were explored. Finally, issues on PBS for project management are explored by the examination of the configuration of NPPs primary system. The primary systems' configuration of different reactor models is assessed in order to clarify the need for analyzing the new trends in nuclear technology and to formulate a common high-level PBS. Findings and implications are discussed for further studies.

The current trend toward the utilization of the Internet as a common means for the offer of heterogeneous services imposes to address the issues related to end-to-end service assurance in the inter-domain scenario. In this paper, we first present an architecture for service management in networks based on service level specifications (SLS). The architecture is designed to be independent both of the specific network technology adopted and of the high level service semantics. Then, we focus on a specific functionality of the proposed architecture: Resource allocation in the multi-domain scenario. A distributed admission control algorithm is introduced, its complexity is evaluated and a comparison with related solutions is provided.

Since the 1980s, the number of large space buildings in Korea has consistently been increasing due to large scale international competitions such as the Olympics and the World Cup, demands for environmental improvement, and development of structural systems. Due to these reasons, this paper conducted a comparative analysis on terrorism risk factors of large space structure and skyscrapers in Korea. The results suggest that the total risk level of high-rise and large space structure was "medium level risk" and that the terrorism risk level for large space structure was as high as that for high-rise buildings. As it relates to the risk levels depending on scenarios, terrorism risks to large space structure were higher than high-rise buildings in the "internal explosion" and "internal intrusion" categories. And the results of analyzing explosion-related scenarios except for CBR suggest that terrorism risks to large space structure were highest when it comes to Internal-Explosive followed by Internal-Intrusion and Explosive-Zone I; and the results showed a regular pattern. On the other hand, in the case of high-rise buildings, terrorism risks were highest in Internal-Explosive followed by Explosive-Zone I and Explosive-Zone II; and the results showed an irregular pattern.

There are some limitations in the analysis and evaluation for area traffic control systems. The area traffic is consist of several intersections interconnected which are very complicated and many traffic strategy are adopted for the control system. This paper features an effective area traffic control system by High Level Architecture(HLA) which is a new developed simulation tool. In this paper, we discuss the design of HLA-based area traffic control simulation. We describe technical motivations for the HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability in simulation arena.

Fatigue life evaluation of welded structures in a range of high cycles is one of the most difficult problems since extremely small plastic deformation and damage occur during the loading cycles. Moreover, it is very difficult to identify the strong non-linearities of welding, inducing residual stress. In this paper, numerical fatigue test method for welded structures was developed using continuum damage mechanics with inherent strain. Recently, continuum damage mechanics, which can simulate both crack initiation at the micro-scale level and crack propagation at the meso-scale level, has been adopted in the fracture related problem. In order to consider the residual stresses in the welded strictures, damage calculation in conjunction with welding, inducing inherent strain, was proposed. The numerical results obtained from the damage calculation were compared to experimental results.

Many accidents occur on the oceans. Accidents involving ships can cause enormous damage. When an accident occurs, the cost of environmental restoration can bankrupt even a top-ranked international company. The potential damages resulting from ship accidents have resulted in many international agreements such as MARPOL, SOLAS, ISM Code, etc. The viability of damaged ships has become more and more important. A damaged ship's viability and cargo safety can be improved by a safety assessment design procedure. We consider th￡ shipbuilding industry's distributed characteristics to define a safety assessment system with software engineering-based requirements analysis. We used a distributed network-based simulation method (HLA - High level architecture), because of ease of reuse and expansion of existing components to other situations, and because it is a military standard. HLA is the standard for distributed network-based simulation in many countries including the United States, Canada, Israel, and Korea. The paper describes research to develop a prototype of a network-based safety assessment simulation system by software engineering based analysis.

A satellite ground control system (SGCS) which monitors and controls a geostationary satellite 24 hours a day has to achieve the system architecture assuring high-level availability and redundancy scheme. The SGCS for Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is currently being developed in Korea, which will be implemented to satisfy high availability (HA), expansibility, and compatibility in design. In order to implement the system architecture to meet these characteristics, the SGCS for COMS introduces the concept of the real-time distributed system structure based on redundancy scheme for high availability, data replication and sharing, and CORBA middleware.

In traditional eccentrically braced steel frames, damages and plastic deformations are limited to the links and the main structure members are required tremendous sizes to ensure elasticity with no damage based on the force-based seismic design method, this limits the practical application of the structure. The high strength steel frames with eccentric braces refer to Q345 (the nominal yield strength is 345 MPa) steel used for links, and Q460 steel utilized for columns and beams in the eccentrically brace steel frames, the application of high strength steels not only brings out better economy and higher strength, but also wider application prospects in seismic fortification zone. Here, the structures with four type eccentric braces are chosen, including K-type, Y-type, D-type and V-type. These four types EBFs have various performances, such as stiffness, bearing capacity, ductility and failure mode. To evaluate the seismic behavior of the high strength steel frames with variable eccentric braces within the similar performance objectives, four types EBFs with 4-storey, 8-storey, 12-storey and 16-storey were designed by performance-based seismic design method. The nonlinear static behavior by pushover analysis and dynamic performance by time history analysis in the SAP2000 software was applied. A total of 11 ground motion records are adopted in the time history analysis. Ground motions representing three seismic hazards: first, elastic behavior in low earthquake hazard level for immediate occupancy, second, inelastic behavior of links in moderate earthquake hazard level for rapid repair, and third, inelastic behavior of the whole structure in very high earthquake hazard level for collapse prevention. The analyses results indicated that all structures have similar failure mode and seismic performance.
