  • Information and communication technologies(ICT) allow and force people to work anywhere, anytime using remote databases and application systems available in real-time twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. With the real time nature of ICT, individual work is becoming more and more fragmented. Instead of working on a similar task repeatedly, individuals are required to respond to e-mails and inquiries through social networks, work on planning documents, work on presentation documents, work on spreadsheets, input necessary data on company databases, generate necessary reports from the database, run teleconference, etc., all maybe in a day's work. Work fragmentation may impact negatively on productivity as the flow is interrupted, but it may increase the productivity by allowing people to handle multiple tasks in a shorter time period. This study explores the types of work fragmentation and their characteristics. An online survey was administered to collect data about work fragmentation and work characteristics including autonomy, complexity, flexibility, usage of ICT, etc. 300 cases were used in the analysis. Analysis of k-mean cluster indicated four different types of work fragmentation: concentrated, temporally distributed, spatially distributed, and fully fragmented.

  • Currently, electricity consumption and feedback mechanisms are being widely researched in Internet of Things (IoT) areas to realise power consumption monitoring and management through the remote control of appliances. This paper aims to develop a smart electricity utilisation IoT platform with a deep belief network for electricity utilisation feature modelling. In the end node of electricity utilisation, a smart monitoring and control module is developed for automatically operating air conditioners with a gateway, which connects and controls the appliances through an embedded ZigBee solution. To collect electricity consumption data, a programmable smart IoT gateway is developed to connect an IoT cloud server of smart electricity utilisation via the Internet and report the operational parameters and working states. The cloud platform manages the behaviour planning functions of the energy-saving strategies based on the power consumption features analysed by a deep belief network algorithm, which enables the automatic classification of the electricity utilisation situation. Besides increasing the user's comfort and improving the user's experience, the established feature models provide reliable information and effective control suggestions for power reduction by refining the air conditioner operation habits of each house. In addition, several data visualisation technologies are utilised to present the power consumption datasets intuitively.

  • Modern agriculture is changing from resource-oriented agriculture to technology-oriented agriculture. Agriculture, which combines science and technology, is recognized as a new growth engine, and governments, local governments, research institutes, and industry are working together to develop and disseminate various devices necessary for smart farms to build intelligent smart farms. Recently, research is being conducted to build a more intelligent agricultural environment by building a cloud platform. In this paper, we propose a plan to build an urban energy - independent smart farm that can utilize leisure time and agricultural activities by utilizing the rooftop of a city. Also, by using IT technology, various data of smart farm can be managed on remote server, and HMI module for controlling internal environment of smart farm can be developed to manage smart farm automatically or semi-automatically. The service model suggests a model that can manage the internal environment of the smart farm based on mobile.

  • The primary function of an electronic records management system (ERMS) is to support organisations in providing effective records management services by enabling efficient remote access to the organisations' records. This helps the organisation to continue running during emergency events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The need to study ERMS for accessing records remotely has increased dramatically, due to the increase in daily use. The situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for implementing proper digital systems, such as ERMS, to enable efficient work processes and enhance business continuity. An ERMS has the potential to allow organisations to create records and workflows off-site. During a pandemic, the ability to structure processes digitally helps in maintaining operations remotely. This study aims to provide a narrative review of the ERMS literature with an emphasis on explaining the primary components of ERMS that act as enablers for the implementation of the system in the oil and gas sector of developing countries. The current study proposes ERMS roles and responsibilities that could enhance business continuity. The authors use a qualitative narrative review and analyse the literature related to this study and its findings. The results show that, in cases of risk or crises, staff members need to have easy access to their records and documents to remain productive. An ERMS allows professionals to remain active and work off-site. Thus, ERMS play a significant role in protecting an organisation's content through the monitoring and control over who has authorisation to access its records.

  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote working, e-learning, e-teaching and online collaboration have widely spread and become popular. Accordingly, the usage of IPsec VPN for security reasons has also dramatically increased. With the spread of VPN, VPN vulunerabilities are becoming an important target of attack for attackers, and many studies have been conducted on this. IKE v2 analysis is an essential process not only for developing and building IPsec VPN systems but also for security analysis. Network packet analysis tools such as Wireshark and Tcpdump are used for IKE v2 analysis. Wireshark is one of the most famous and widely-used network protocol analyzers and supports IKE v2 analysis. However Wireshark has many limitations, such as requiring system administrator privileges for IKE v2 analysis. In this paper, we describe Wireshark's limitations in detatil and propose a new analysis method. The proposed analysis method can analyze all encrypted IKE v2 messages in real time from the session key exchange In addition, the proposed analysis method is expected to be used for dynamic testing such as fuzzing as packet manipulation.

  • Due to the increasing proportion of cloud and remote working environments, various information security incidents are occurring. Insider threats have emerged as a major issue, with cases in which corporate insiders attempting to leak confidential data by accessing it remotely. In response, insider threat detection approaches based on machine learning have been developed. However, existing machine learning methods used to detect insider threats do not take biases and variances into account, which leads to limited performance. In this paper, boosting-type ensemble learning algorithms are applied to verify the performance of malicious insider detection, conduct a close analysis, and even consider the imbalance in datasets to determine the final result. Through experiments, we show that using ensemble learning achieves similar or higher accuracy to other existing malicious insider detection approaches while considering bias-variance tradeoff. The experimental results show that ensemble learning using bagging and boosting methods reached an accuracy of over 98%, which improves malicious insider detection performance by 5.62% compared to the average accuracy of single learning models used.

  • In this paper, we design thin-client framework capable of application sharing & data access on the Internet, and apply related skills, such as X windows system, pseudo server, CODA file system, MPI(Message Passing Interface). We suggest a framework for the thin client to access data produced by working on a server optimally as well as to run server side application, even in the case of network down. Additionally, it needed to reflect all local computing changes to remote server when network is restored. To design thin client framework with these characteristics, in this paper, we apply distributed pseudo server and CODA file system to our framework, also utilize MPI for the purpose of more efficient computing & management. It allows for implementation of network independent computing environment of thin client, also provide scalable application service to numerous user through the elimination of bottleneck on caused by server overload. In this paper, we discuss the implementing method of thin client framework in detail.

  • After COVID-19, team's collaborations are conducted online using whiteboard tools as remote working increases. In order to understand the problems of the convergence process using online whiteboard tools, an observation study comparing online and offline collaboration and a focus group interview were conducted. In addition, a questionnaire was conducted to confirm the found problem, and a solution idea was proposed. through in-depth interviews, we validate the proposed ideas. The convergence process of collaboration using online whiteboard tools had problems ; "excessive amount of information", "shift of view", "role of facilitator". To solve the problems, we proposed the idea of classifying each stage of the collaboration process, providing a navigator, and facilitator request system window. This paper proposed an idea that can effectively help the convergence process directly related to decision-making during the online collaboration process through analysis of advantages and problems of online and offline collaboration.
