그룹 복호화는 다수의 참여자 사이에서 수행되는 공개키 암호 시스템으로 하나의 암호문을 복호화하는데 지정된 수 이상의 참여자가 필요한 암호 시스템이다. 그룹 복호화를 실제 수행할 때에는 참여자의 공평성을 보장하기 위해 흔히 제3자를 도입하는데 이 때 제3자에 대해 필요한 신뢰의 수준 및 제3자에게 제공되는 정보를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 제3자가 프로토콜을 잘 따르지만 중간 정보를 저장할 수 있는 모델(semi-honest model)을 가정하고 이와 같은 제3자(STTP, Semi-Trusted Third Party)를 그룹 복호화 기법에 이용하여 복호화 참여자는 평문을 얻을 수 있지만 STTP는 평문을 알 수 없을 뿐 아니라 복호화 참여자의 익명성도 유지할 수 있는 그룹 복호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 기존 프로토콜의 보안성, 공평성 등의 특징을 모두 유지하고 외부의 공격자가 STTP의 저장소를 볼 수 있는 경우에도 복호화 참여자를 알 수 없는 바람직한 특징을 가진다.

슈퍼컴퓨팅 자원들은 주로 MPI와 같은 메시지 교환 인터페이스에 기반한 통신 집적도가 높은 고성능 컴퓨팅(HPC: High Performance Computing) 응용 분야를 지원하는데 활용되어 왔다. 반면에, 대규모 계산처리 컴퓨팅(HTC: High Throughput Computing) 방식의 패러다임은 주로 계산 집적도가 높고(상대적으로 적은 I/O 연산), 독립적인(작업들 간의 통신이 적음) 많은 수의 작업을 처리하는 것을 요구하고 있다. 국내에서도 고에너지 물리, 신약개발, 핵물리와 같은 연구 분야를 중심으로 대규모 컴퓨팅 자원을 요구하는 계산처리에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 HTC 과학 응용들에 대한 효율적인 지원을 국가차원의 슈퍼컴퓨팅 분산 환경에서 제공하기 위해 연구/개발되어진 대규모 계산처리 서비스(HTCaaS: High Throughput Computing as a Service)의 전체 구조 및 구성 요소, 실행 시나리오 및 실제 응용 적용 사례 등에 대해 서술한다.

Cooperative query answering is a research effort to develop a fault-tolerant and intelligent database system using the semantic knowledge base constructed from the underlying database. Such knowledge base has two aspects of usage. One is supporting the cooperative query answering Process for providing both an exact answer and neighborhood information relevant to a query. The other is supporting ongoing maintenance of the knowledge base for accommodating the changes in the knowledge content and database usage purpose. Existing studies have mostly focused on the cooperative query answering process but paid little attention on the dynamic knowledge base maintenance. This paper proposes a multi-level knowledge representation framework called Knowledge Abstraction Hierarchy (KAH) that can not only support cooperative query answering but also permit dynamic knowledge maintenance. The KAH consists of two types of knowledge abstraction hierarchies. The value abstraction hierarchy is constructed by abstract values that are hierarchically derived from specific data values in the underlying database on the basis of generalization and specialization relationships. The domain abstraction hierarchy is built on the various domains of the data values and incorporates the classification relationship between super-domains and sub-domains. On the basis of the KAH, a knowledge abstraction database is constructed on the relational data model and accommodates diverse knowledge maintenance needs and flexibly facilitates cooperative query answering. In terms of the knowledge maintenance, database operations are discussed for the cases where either the internal contents for a given KAH change or the structures of the KAH itself change. In terms of cooperative query answering, database operations are discussed for both the generalization and specialization Processes, and the conceptual query handling. A prototype system has been implemented at KAIST that demonstrates the usefulness of KAH in ordinary database application systems.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an emerging short-range wireless communication network with sensor nodes located on, in or around the human body for healthcare, entertainment and ubiquitous computing. In WBANs, energy is severely constrained which is the prime consideration in the medium access control (MAC) protocol design. In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol named Energy-efficient Relay MAC with dynamic Power Control (ERPC-MAC) to save energy consumption. Without relying on the additional devices, ERPC-MAC employs relaying nodes to provide relay service for nodes which consume energy fast. Accordingly the superframe adjustment is performed and then the network topology can be smoothly switched from single-hop to multi-hop. Moreover, for further energy saving and reliability improvement, the dynamic power control is introduced to adjust the power level whenever a node transmits its packets to the coordinator or the relaying node. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first effort to integrate relay, topology adjustment and power control to improve the network performance in a WBAN. Comprehensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance. The results show that the ERPC-MAC is more superior to the existing standard and significantly prolongs the network lifetime.

기존의 문헌검색시스템은 검색 결과를 시각화하기 어렵기 때문에 문헌 제목과 검색어가 존재하는 부분에 대한 요약문을 보여주는 형태가 대부분이다. 이러한 방식은 문헌 검색 결과가 많은 경우 한 번에 문헌들을 살펴보는데 어려움이 있고, 문헌들간의 연관성을 알아보기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 웹 환경에 적합하도록 실시간으로 문헌 검색 결과를 시각화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여, 군집의 중심을 다차원 척도에 의해 저 차원 평면에 투사하는 단계와 오비탈 모형에 기반하여 개별 문헌들을 군집 중심을 기준으로 저 차원 평면에 표현하는 2단계 시각화 알고리즘을 제안하여, 문헌 군집의 관계를 쉽게 알아보고 개별 문헌들 사이의 유사성을 쉽게 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 벤치마크 데이터와 실 데이터에 적용하여 실험하였으며, 실시간으로 검색 결과를 시각화 할 수 있다는 것을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

The proper position of a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) is essential for the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) dose delivery. Task Group (TG) 142 provides a quality assurance (QA) procedure for MLC position. Our study investigated the QA validation of the mechanical leaf gap measurement and the maintenance procedure. Two $VitalBeam^{TM}$ systems were evaluated to validate the acceptance of an MLC position. The dosimetric leaf gaps (DLGs) were measured for 6 MV, 6 MVFFF, 10 MV, and 15 MV photon beams. A solid water phantom was irradiated using $10{\times}10cm^2$ field size at source-to-surface distance (SSD) of 90 cm and depth of 10 cm. The portal dose image prediction (PDIP) calculation was implemented on a treatment planning system (TPS) called $Eclipse^{TM}$. A total of 20 VMAT plans were used to confirm the accuracy of dose distribution measured by an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) and those predicted by VMAT plans. The measured leaf gaps were 0.30 mm and 0.35 mm for VitalBeam 1 and 2, respectively. The DLG values decreased by an average of 6.9% and 5.9% after mechanical MLC adjustment. Although the passing rates increased slightly, by 1.5% (relative) and 1.2% (absolute) in arc 1, the average passing rates were still within the good dose delivery level (>95%). Our study shows the existence of a mechanical leaf gap error caused by a degenerated MLC motor. This can be recovered by reinitialization of MLC position on the machine control panel. Consequently, the QA procedure should be performed regularly to protect the MLC system.

The possibility of earthquakes in vulnerable regions indicates that efficient technique is required for seismic protection of buildings. During the recent decades, the concept is moving towards the insertion of base isolation on seismic prone buildings. So, investigation of structural behavior is a burning topic for buildings to be isolated in base level by bearing device. This study deals with the incorporation of base isolation system and focuses the changes of structural responses for different types of Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) isolators. A number of sixteen model buildings have been simulated selecting twelve types of bearing systems as well as conventional fixed-base (FB) scheme. The superstructures of the high-rise buildings are represented by finite element assemblage adopting multi-degree of freedoms. Static and dynamic analyses are carried out for FB and base isolated (BI) buildings. The dynamic analysis in finite element package has been performed by the nonlinear time history analysis (THA) based on the site-specific seismic excitation and compared employing eminent earthquakes. The influence of the model type and the alteration in superstructure behavior of the isolated buildings have been duly assessed. The results of the 3D multistory structures show that the lateral forces, displacement, inertia and story accelerations of the superstructure of the seismic prone buildings are significantly reduced due to bearing insertion. The nonlinear dynamic analysis shows 12 to 40% lessening in base shear when LRB is incorporated leading to substantial allowance of horizontal displacement. It is revealed that the LRB isolators might be potential options to diminish the respective floor accelerations, inertia, displacements and base shear whatever the condition coincides. The isolators with lower force intercept but higher isolation period is found to be better for decreasing base shear, floor acceleration and inertia force leading to reduction of structural and non-structural damage. However, LRB with lower isolator period seems to be more effective in dropping displacement at bearing interface aimed at reducing horizontal shift of building structure.

Parents' desire for daily English practice for students and the urge for a etter English education has led to a demand for a highly qualified educational curriculum. In addition to getting deep-dive insights into parents' decision-making process, the increasingly important role of STEM education method has been proved in accordance with plenty of evidenced-based many of previous research. This study was conducted to examine the five independent factors affecting parents' intentions when designating English centers for their children, respectively named: Facility, Teachers, Brands, Social factors and Tuition. Through a preliminary approach, 235 samples were analyzed. Analysis of the sample responses reveals the importance level of five independent factors affecting Parents' intention to choose English centers in descending order: Facilities, Teachers, Brands, Tuition and Social factors. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between STEM and Intention to choose English centers, indicating that whether the center applies STEM-related curriculum in English courses or not, in fact, has a significant impact on parents' decision. In terms of attitude towards STEM, further statistical tests revealed an interesting finding, which is the fact that how STEM affects Intention of parents is directly proportional to the Attitude towards STEM. With the help of SPSS 20 and AMOS 20, the SEM analysis was processed in order to draw conclusions about factors impacting Intentions to choose English centers. Combining with Multi-group analysis, the major role of STEM education has been assessed in relation to plenty of correlations. In light of recent major and massive growth of English teaching market in Vietnam, several suggestions and recommendations in terms of sustainable developments have been displayed in this research.
