Network externalities are essentially dynamic in that the value consumers feel about a product is affected by the size of the existing customer base that uses that product. However, existing studies on network externalities analyzed the effects of network externalities in a static way, not dynamic. In this study, unlike previous studies, the impact of network externalities on price competition in a vertically differentiated market is dynamically analyzed. To this end, a two-period duopoly game model was used to reflect the dynamic aspects of network externalities. Based on the game model, the Nash equilibria for price, sales volume, and revenue were derived and numerically analyzed. The results can be summarized as follows. First, if high-end product has strong market power, the high-end product vendor takes almost all benefits of the network externality. Second, when high-end product has strong market power, the low-end product will take over most of the initial sales volume increase. Third, when market power of high-end product is not strong, it can be seen that the effects of network externalities on the high and low-end products are generally proportional to the difference in quality. Lastly, if there exists a strong network externality, it is shown that the presence of low-end product can be more profitable for high-end product vendor. In other words, high-end product vendor has incentive to disclose some technologies for the market entrance of low-end product, even if it has exclusive rights to the technologies. In that case, however, it is shown that the difference in quality should be maintained significantly.

Heterogeneous computing is a technology that utilizes different types of processors to perform parallel processing. It maximizes task processing and energy efficiency by leveraging various computing resources such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. On the other hand, edge computing has developed with IoT and 5G technologies. It is a distributed computing that utilizes computing resources close to clients, thereby offloading the central server. It has evolved to intelligent edge computing combined with artificial intelligence. Intelligent edge computing enables total data processing, such as context awareness, prediction, control, and simple processing for the data collected on the edge. If heterogeneous computing can be successfully applied in the edge, it is expected to maximize job processing efficiency while minimizing dependence on the central server. In this paper, experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of various parallel programming models on high-end and low-end edge devices by using benchmark applications. We analyzed the performance of five parallel programming models on the Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Orin Nano as low-end and high-end devices, respectively. In the experiment, OpenACC showed the best performance on the low-end edge device and OpenSYCL on the high-end device due to the stability and optimization of system libraries.

최근 들어, 인터넷 망을 이용한 서비스들이 초연결 구조로 결합 및 융합하여 발전되고 있다. 이러한 사물인터넷망은 기존의 센서 노드, 디바이스, 종단간 단말기 등의 이기종의 디바이스로 구성되며 서로 다른 종류의 프로토콜을 변화하여 실현되고 있다. 그 대표적인 것이 헬스 케어 시스템으로, 사물인터넷을 이용함으로써 의료기기, 환자, 의사들 간의 의료 정보가 매우 신속하게 전달될 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 이동성 및 관리적 측면에서 편리성을 가진다. 그러나 이러한 사물인터넷 망을 이용할 경우 센서 노드에서의 저용량의 메모리 공간, 낮은 컴퓨팅 능력, 저전력 등의 하드웨어적인 제한 요소로 인하여 기존의 암호 엔진을 내장하기는 불가능 하다. 기존의 표준 알고리즘을 구현하기에는 하드웨어적인 제한 요소로 인하여 현재의 기술로는 구현이 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 문제점으로 인해 보안적인 취약성이 존재한다. 현재에는 많은 연구자들은 경량화 알고리즘 및 저전력의 회로 설계에 주안점을 두고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일반적인 헬스 케어 시스템의 구조를 분석하고, 사물인터넷 기반의 종단간의 헬스 케어 시스템에서의 보안적인 이슈 및 문제점을 분석하였다.

It is relatively easy to develop a prototype of a Korean language processing system, but it is very difficult to make it an operational system. In this paper, we survey the current status and methodological issues of the Korean language processing systems such as morphological analyzer, parser and machine translator. In most cases, Korean language processing system easily comes to a dead-end state where its performance can not be improved any more. The reason is that it adopts a general algorithm covering similar problems as a whole because specific low-level problems are not clearly defined and their algorithms are unclear. So, when we add some restrictions to solve an individual linguistic problem, they are also applied to other linguistic phenomena as a side effect. It causes a critical problem that the improvement of the algorithm is very difficult. This paper proposes a 2-step paradigm, a divide-and-conquer method by the functional modularization, a simplification method, and an exception handling technique to develop an operational system that does not fall into a dead-end state.

The vortex tube is a simple device for separating a compressed gaseous fluid stream into two flows of high and low temperature without any chemical reactions. Recently, vortex tube is widely used to local cooler of industrial equipments and air supply system. The phenomena of energy separation through the vortex tube was investigated experimentally. This study is focused on the effect of the diameter of cold end orifice diameter on the energy separation. The experiment was carried out with various cold end orifice diameter ratio from 0.22 to 0.78 for different input pressure and cold air flow ratio. The experimental results were indicated that there are an optimum diameter of cold end orifice for the best cooling performance. The maximum cold air temperature difference was appeared when the diameter ratio of the cold end orifice was 0.5. The maximum cooling capacity was obtained when the diameter ratio of the cold end orifice was 0.6 and cold air flow ratio was 0.7.

The input and output impedances in a low voltage distribution system is one of the most important matters for power line communication because from the viewpoint of communication, the attenuation characteristic of the high frequency signals is greatly caused by impedance mismatch during sending and receiving. The frequency range is from 1MHz to 30MHz. Therefore, this paper investigates the input and output impedances in order to understand the characteristic of high frequency signals in the low voltage distribution system between a pole transformer and an end user. For power line communication, the model of Korea's low voltage distribution system is proposed in a residential area and then the low voltage distribution system is set up in a laboratory. In the low voltage distribution system, S parameters are measured by using a network analyzer. Finally, input and output impedances are calculated using S parameters.

본 논문에서는 단안 카메라와 비교적 오차가 큰 GPS-IMU 센서를 이용하여 이동체의 정확한 포즈를 예측하는 고정밀 맵매칭 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 카메라로부터 입력 받은 영상을 딥뉴럴 네트워크를 이용하여 의미상으로 분할한 결과와 시맨틱 지도 정보를 비교함으로써 달성된다. 카메라로부터 입력 받은 주행 영상은 시맨틱 분할 알고리즘을 통해서 두 개의 클래스로 분할되며, 시맨틱 지도 정보와 가능한 레이블 페어에 대해 설정된 가중치에 따라 비교 정렬함으로써 현재 이동체의 정확한 포즈를 예측할 수 있도록 한다. 이 과정에서 비교적 오차가 큰 GPS-IMU 센서의 신호는 해 공간의 범위를 효과적으로 줄여준다. 본 논문은 비교적 저렴한 센서를 이용하여 증강현실 및 자율주행 등에 필요한 고정밀 맵매칭이 가능함을 보여준다. 보정 전후의 차량 경로를 지도에 비교 도시하고 시맨틱 지도를 현재 입력 영상에 오버레이 하여 제안한 방법의 효과를 입증하였다. 또한 non-open-sky 환경과 같은 GPS-IMU 수신이 어려운 환경에서도 성능 개선이 있음을 확인하였다.

Current web accessibility checks and automatic assessments have been pointed out that the assessment items and scores are evaluated from the developer's point of view rather than from the user's one. In addition, although most of the grades of an automatic assessment on the public web sites are excellent because they are built in accordance with the web accessibility development guidelines, not a few web sites shows relatively low grades in evaluating their usability test made by those users. Taking into account the inadequacy of these web accessibility assessments, this study has identified the differences between the grades of usability evaluations and automatic evaluations for people with low vision and analyzed the major factors affecting web accessibility usability evaluations using Repertory Grid Techniques. Also, the Hard Laddering method of the Means-End Chain theory was adopted to visualize the relationship between Attributes-Conferences-Value and a hierarchical value system analysis based on FGI(Focused Group Interview) to people with the low vision. This study proposed the measures to improve the current web accessibility automatic assessment allocation, expert evaluation criteria, and user task assessment. In particular, it is a web accessibility user evaluation model that can consider the web accessibility quality certification criteria and user review assessment by directly analyzing the user cognitive structure and value system. This study is expected to be useful as a research to enhance the quality of web accessibility assessment.

The analog-to-digital-converter-based (ADC-based) backplane receivers that consist of a front-end ADC followed by a digital equalizer are gaining more popularity in recent years, as they support more sophisticated equalization required for high data rates, scale better with fabrication technology, and are more immune to PVT variations. Unfortunately, designing an ADC-based receiver that meets tight power and performance budgets of high-speed backplane link systems is non-trivial as both front-end ADC and digital equalizer can be power consuming and complex when running at high speed. This paper reviews the state of art designs for the front-end ADC and digital equalizers to suggest implementation choices that can achieve high speed while maintaining low power consumption and complexity. Design-space exploration using system-level models of the ADC-based receiver allows through analysis on the impact of design parameters, providing useful information in optimizing the power and performance of the receiver at the early stage of design. The system-level simulation results with newer device parameters reveal that, although the power consumption of the ADC-based receiver may not comparable to the receivers with analog equalizers yet, they will become more attractive as the fabrication technology continues to scale as power consumption of digital equalizer scales well with process.
