Cloud services are often provisioned to their customers using user-friendly web browsers with flexible and rich plug-in environments. Delay is one of the fundamental performance metrics of these web-based services. Commonly-used network measurement tools usually only measure network delay and it may be difficult to infer the web-delay performance using only network layer measurement approaches. In this paper, we propose to evaluate the application layer delay in a browser-based network measurement platform using engineered scripts. We conducted a delay measurement study using instrumented scripts in the proposed browser-based measurement platform. Our investigation included a comparison study of three browser-scripting delay measurement methods, including Java applet, JSP and Flash ActionScript. We developed a browser-based delay measurement testbed over the Internet so that different delay measurement tools could be evaluated in the same real network environment including typical Internet paths and the Baidu cloud. We also decomposed the components of the end-to-end delay process of the above measurements to reveal the difference and relationship between the network-layer delay and the application-layer delay. Our measurement results characterize the stochastic properties of the application-layer delay over real Internet paths, and how these properties vary from the underlying network layer delay. This browser-scripting measurement approach can be easily deployed on different cloud service platforms to inspect their application-layer delay performance between end clients and the cloud platforms. Our measurement results may provide insights into designing new cloud services with enhanced quality-of-experience perceived by cloud users.

The current study was conducted to facilitate appropriate hygiene and safety management in children's food service stations, with the ultimate objective of providing sanitary and safe food service to children. In order to develop questionnaire items, literature review was conducted, in addition to detailed interview of working-level personnel at a children's food service management support center. This resulted in a total of thirty questions on personal hygiene management, food materials hygiene management, and facilities hygiene management. Using the questionnaire, seventy-one food service stations for children in District A in Seoul that serve less than one hundred children were surveyed to analyze the reliability, construct validity, and correlation in the developed measurement tool. The developed measurement tool consisted of ten task and environmental hygiene management questions, five personal and cooking hygiene management questions, four food ingredient and storage hygiene management questions, and four food service operation and management question; with a total of twenty-three questions, in four factors stated above. The cumulative distribution of the four factors was 54.698%, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ value was 0.672~0.853, which indicated that the study was reliable. The results of the analysis indicated that each of the factors were correlated, the study was satisfactory, and the tool was valid for evaluating hygiene and safety management practices in children's food service stations. Finally, in order to enhance practical utility of the developed measurement tool, the significance and limitations were described.

Most published work on product quality focuses on manufactured goods. The subject of service quality has received less attention. This distinction is important because some of the quality-improving strategies avaliable to manufacturers may be inappropriate for service firms. Services are performances, not objects. They are often produced in the presence of the customer, as in the cause of hotel restaurant services, quality occurs during service delivery, usually in an interaction between the customer and contact personnel of service firm. for this reason, service quality is highly dependent on the performance of employees, an organizational resource that cannot be controlled to the degree that components of tangible goods can be engineered. The study has begun as a basic study for customer satisfaction-oriented management in understanding the service quality of food & beverage products and through a systematic analysis of it. The major purpose of the study was to examine the relationship of the customer satisfaction and service quality in consideration of reliability, empathy, responsiveness, tangibility and assurance. An empirical research was conducted based on the previous theoretical studies. 286 customer at first class hotels in Seoul were selected as samples of this study. The time period of research was from February through March 1999, and answers were processed by SAS to yield frequency analysis, multivariate statistical analysis and regression analysis. The finding of the statistical treatment are frequencies, factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, path analysis. SERVQUAL method was used the service quality evaluation methods. After factor analysis, it was resulted to 3 factors. those were factor 1(assurance.empathy.responsiveness), factor 2(reliability), factor 3(tangibility). The findings of the statistical treatment are as follows. First, the attribute measurement of performance service quality was affected by customer satisfaction. Second, the attribute measurement of performance service qualify was affected by repurchase intention. Third, The attribute measurement of performance customer satisfaction was affected by repurchase intention. The result of study model was followed, service quality was affected repurchase intention than customer satisfaction. indirected effect through, service duality and customer satisfaction was affected repurchase intention.

가용대역폭(Available Bandwidth) 측정 기법을 이용한 기존 스트리밍 프로토콜들(Streaming Protocol)은 가용대역폭을 측정하는 것에 있어서 정확성이 떨어지는 문제와 측정 속도가 느리다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 가용대역폭 측정방법에 대한 연구가 가지고 있는 한계점을 극복하기 위해서 새로운 가용대역폭 측정 기법인 NABO(New Available Bandwidth measurement based on One-Way Delay)를 제안한다. NABO는 OWD(One-Way Delay)에 포함되어 있는 경쟁 트래픽이 없을 때의 전송 지연시간을 추출해 내고, 그 이후에 OWD에 반영하는 전송 지연시간을 제외한 경쟁트래픽에 의한 가변적인 지연을 측정함으로써 경쟁트래픽의 양을 측정한다. 이를 통해서 병목링크의 고정대역폭에서 경쟁트래픽의 대역폭을 제외한 가용대역폭을 정확하고 빠르게 산출한다. NABO의 성능을 검증하기 위한 실험 결과, 제안한 NABO가 다양한 네트워크 환경에서 스트리밍 서비스(Streaming Service)의 요구사항을 효율적으로 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Since the guaranteed service quality(QoS) is spotlighted as a strategic competitive tool to Broadband Convergence Network(BcN) service providers, many scholars have dealt with QoS issues in the BcN environment. However, just a few researchers focus on end-users and most are lean toward service providers or technology itself. In this paper, therefore, we investigated how end-users could measure service quality in the BcN environment, and moreover, proposed the end-user oriented measurement guideline for BcN QoS. Through literature review and two surveys, four QoS dimensions and nineteen measurement items were derived from end-user's perspective. proposed QoS dimension and items would be utilized as meaningful tools for future BcN service.

As well as the development of the measurement of service quality, various kinds of service measurements are also being developed. Especially the mobile telecommunication service being representative to the mobile telecommunication company would be the mostly developed area. Its development can be understood along with the development of the telecommumication companies as well as cellular companies, not only the service alone. It is a differentiated phenomenon in the current research, such as the organic influence between the service quality and product. Of course there are such products placed on sale and enjoyed the common service, but at present there is another case that the product is on the market exclusively with the mobile company in here.

본 연구는 기존의 서비스디자인 방법론의 소수 데이터를 기반으로 휴리스틱 기반의 연구 한계를 극복하고, 의료서비스의 질적 수준 관리에서 핵심가치로 주목받고 있는 경험데이터의 객관적 측정 및 가공에 관한 모델을 개발하기 위한 연구이다. 이론적 배경에서 의료서비스에서 경험의 중요성, 경험데이터의 측정 및 가공, 환자중심성 실현에 관한 문헌연구를 진행하였다. 이와 같은 문헌 및 이론적 배경 연구결과를 기반으로 다음과 같이 4가지 연구변수에 대하여 조작적 정의하고, 통계적으로 검정을 진행하였다. 가설 H1은 3가지 요인 관점의 경험데이터 측정이 페르소나 모델링에 주는 영향이고, 가설 H2는 페르소나 모델링이 서비스청사진 시각화에 주는 영향, 가설 H3은 서비스청사진 시각화는 환자중심성 실현에 주는 영향, 가설 H4는 페르소나 모델링이 환자중심성의 실현에 주는 영향이다. 요인분석, 신뢰성 분석, 상관분석의 데이터 기초검정 후 회귀분석기법으로 검증한 결과 4가지 가설은 모두 채택되었다. 결론적으로 병원에서 좋은 의료진과 의료장비만을 갖춘다고 해서 그 가치를 인정받기 어려운 시대이기에 환자들에겐 의료진과 의료장비의 효용보다 지속해서 어떠한 의료서비스 경험을 얻고 있는지가 더 중요하다는 의미를 파악할 수 있었다. 서비스 경제의 시대에서 병원서비스 경쟁력의 핵심은 매력적인 경험을 제공하느냐가 병원의 진짜 실력이 되기에 본 연구 주제인 경험데이터의 측정과 가공이 환자중심성의 실현과 스마트병원 구현에 중요한 의미가 있을 것이다.
