With the start of the present Korean Creative-Economy Government, more effort is put to prepare the Unification in many areas. But it is not easy to find studies on contemporary status of North Korea specifically in information technology or computer education due to the poor accessibility to the country. This study is on comparing computer education in elementary schools in North Korea and South Korea and diagnosing future direction of computer education as the beginning stage of Unification. The most study is performed from backtracking curriculum methodology based on computer textbooks from North Korea and South Korea. In both countries, the elementary school curriculum for computer subject is mostly dealing with the usage of softwares. In North Korea they don't teach internet applications and they uses different type of office programs. The further ideas for desirable future education are suggested with analysis on the computer education in other countries such as China and Vietnam which can be appropriate role models for North Korea and USA, UK and India for South Korea. It is expected in both countries that the computer education will be more focused on programming rather than on software usage in the future.

The email system is one of the most popular internet applications used to transmit and exchange personal information. However, the pattern of existing email system is fixed, and the system cannot be expanded or re-used. This thesis has proposed the system which can provide the users with better e-mail data which is flexible, re-usable, and expandable XML data on the web-mail. The process of change is as follows: First, make the XML data to have a tree structure using DOM API and then bring the received messages of the users with the CDONTS. Last, transform the received messages into the element and element value. When the e-mail data is transformed t the XML data, 'the data' and 'the presentation' can be distinguished, which enables the users to see messages according to each individual's unique need. With this system, the user can not only convert data to XML, but also can combine the data segments to a form of letter box in order to manage data conveniently and search the data.

International Standard Organizations such as ITU(International Telecommunication Union) and IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) are proceeding standardization for various applications and protocols to provide video-conference and multimedia conference services on a variety of networks. Remote device control among these protocols is provided with various capabilities as well as device control to multimedia conference. This protocol for remote device control is standardizing as H.282 recommendation which is specified as core service for the configuration and control of remote device to multimedia conference. The H.282 recommendation does not specify the use of a particular transport protocol. That is, T.120 multimedia conference uses T.136 and H.323 video conference uses H.283 for the transport of H.282 protocol. The introduced system in this paper is based on H.282 and is implemented to be capable of remote device control within the framework of H.323 using H.283. Also, it is shown that a variety of services in the specification of the standard are satisfied through experiments.

As the number of services offered on the Internet exponentially increases, password managers are increasing popular applications that store several passwords in an encrypted database (or password vault). Browser-integrated password managers or locally-installed password managers store the password vault on the user's device. Although a web-based password manager stores the password vault on the cloud server, a user can store the master password used to sign in the cloud server on her device. An attacker that steals a user's encrypted vault stored in the victim's device can make an offline attack and, if successful, all the passwords in the vault will be exposed to the attacker. This paper investigates the vulnerability of the password vault stored in the device and develops attack programs to verify the vulnerability of the password vault.

At recent, people can easily access to information by Internet to be rapidly evolving. And also, the amount is rapidly increasing. So the techniques, to automatically extract the required information are very important to reduce the time and the effort for retrieving information. In this paper, we describe a collaborative filtering system for automatically recommending high-quality information to users with similar interests on arbitrarily narrow information domains. It asks a user to rate a gauge set of items. It then evaluates the user's rates and suggests a recommendation set of items. We interpret the process of evaluation as an inference mechanism that maps a gauge set to a recommendation set. We accomplish the mapping with FAM (Fuzzy Associative Memory). We implemented the suggested system in a Web server and tested its performance in the domain of retrieval of technical papers, especially in the field of information technologies. The experimental results show that it may provide reliable recommendations.

Important Java network application services have been rapidly increased along with the growth of the Internet. So, it is desirable for such applications to serve transparently, continuously and safely even if the network is temporally partitioned or certain hosts running those services are crashed down. To satisfy such requirements, many group communication systems have been developed. However, existing Java-based group communication systems do not support both the extended virtual synchrony and various types of message delivery such as FIFO, causal, total and safe delivery service. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a Java group communication system, named JACE, supporting various types of message delivery between group members and the extended virtual synchrony model. The JACE system consists of a number of protocol modules which can be stacked on top of each other in a variety of ways. In addition, using the JACE system, we have developed an experimental UDDI registry for discovering and publishing information about Web services.

Stroke is the second most significant disease leading to death in Korea. The conventional therapeutic approach is mainly based on physical training, however, it usually provides the limited degree of recovery of the normal brain function. The electric stimulation therapy is a novel and candidate approach with high potential for stroke recovery. The feasibility was validated by preliminary rat experiments in which the motor function was recovered up to 80% of the normal performance level. It is thought to improve the neural plasticity of the nerve tissues around the diseased area in the stroked brain. However, there are not so much research achievements in the electric stimulation for stroke recovery as for the Parkinson's disease or Epilepsy. This study aims at the developments of a wireless variable pulse generator using ZigBee communication for future implantation into human brain. ZigBee is widely used in wireless personal area network (WPAN) and home network applications due to its low power consumption and simplicity. The developed wireless pulse generator controlled by ZigBee can generate various electric stimulations without any distortion. The electric stimulation includes monophasic and biphasic pulse with the variation of shape parameters, which can affect the level of recovery. The developed system can be used for the telerehabilitation of stroke patient by remote control of brain stimulation via ZigBee and internet. Furthermore, the ZigBee connection used in this study provides the potential neural signal transmission method for the Brain-Machine Interface (BMI).

Convergence of IT devices and fashion is enabling the industry to take fully different approaches in various areas including product planning, fabric selecting, distributing, and marketing. At the same time, it also transforms the definition of clothing itself. Convergence of IT technologies in the realm of fashion and textiles industries can create a powerful synergy through connection digital devices, such as mobile phone. In this context, this study attempts to suggest how IT technology can be efficiently harnessed through the usage of mobile devices in the planning stage of fashion materials, where the initial production plan of a clothing item is mapped out. This study ultimately aims to enhance the effectiveness of databases on fashion material information by using mobile devices to utilize NFC, an RFID technology having as much revolutionary power as Internet - which can be the convergence between IT and fashion across the software dimensions. To pursue this research, data on fashion material information regarding 200 woven fabric specimens were provided by textile companies. The information includes elements such as its composition, weight, width, yarn, density and sales report. These pieces of information were organized into a database. Drawing on this data, Android-based applications that allow smart phones to read off fabric information from NFC tags were developed for this study using two methods. The system works as follows: 1. NFC tag stickers are attached onto the hangers where 200 fabric samples are hanging. 2. The NFC tag stickers are tagged, or read off from a smart phone that support NFC functions. 3. Upon tagging, the Smart phone swiftly displays all information available on its screen - not only the aforementioned six elements, but also the image of the clothing item from the fabric in its finalized product form, and the video of the model wearing the item - for convenient view. The method harbors immense potential for the fashion industry in general, and will also be useful in those fields inside the industry that harness NFC technology.

In order to attain the best-educated people in a rapidly changing, modern society with English is an official language, this study applies the problem-based learning (PBL) method to the English Science Class. PBL problems were developed for PBL classes, and their effectiveness has been proven. The focus of this study was five PBL questions posed during the first semester, targeting seven learners in the fourth grade of Elementary School A. The questions were divided into levels aimed at each grade, with the emphasis on specialized English education. Learners wrote journals, peer evaluations, and self-evaluations after finishing their PBL classes. Also, a survey about PBL was conducted after the first semester. The results of the study showed that learners experienced an 86% improvement in presentation skills, an 86% improved interest in learning, 86% better understanding, and 100% improvement in both problem-solving skills and cooperation. On the other hand, learners had difficulty in understanding PBL problems, and with research using the internet. PBL was somewhat unfamiliar to the students, but the survey found that learners are already aware of its effectiveness, and that they are interested in PBL.

Interactive broadcasting service using wired/wireless Internet return channel has strong ripple effect. It allows the audiences to participate actively to the program they are watching, and communicating. This paper develops an authoring tool that makes an object-formed interactive advertisement from extracted areas of the advertising object the user specified in TV programs. In the authoring tool, the advertisement producer specifies the target object subjectively and the selected object keeps moving here and there repeatedly. Therefore, it is hard to make an object-formed interactive advertisement with existing tools. This paper suggests sketch-based interface technique for extracting advertising objects, and also provide evaluation functions to correct any sketch error. This paper also converts the area of object into MPEG-4 BIFS codes for authoring the object-formed interactive advertisement.
