This study presents a unique way to improve consumer-oriented service for assistive orthosis products. Satisfaction and important factors were analyzed based on responses from disabled people who have used the orthoses. We surveyed 185 disabled people with QUEST (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology), and we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 individuals. The average satisfaction score was 3.68 (orthoses satisfaction: 3.78; service satisfaction: 3.52). For each item, the highest score was effectiveness, and the lowest one was cost. As important factors for each item, the participants selected cost, comfort, repair, and service. The fee system for orthoses needs rational revision, and a delivery system should be constructed for follow-up services such as repair.

The future Personal Communication Service(PCS) is the total personal information communication service to satisfy the importance of information in a highly information - oriented society. Compared with the conventional communication method, it is necessary to provide considerable intelligence to the commu- nication network in order to implement the PCS which guarantees the mobility of each individual. Consequen- tly, the PCS needs a fast large database system which stores the information of each individual. To achieve this goal, this paper presents the parallel implementation of deductive database systems as a main - memory database system.

Technical advancement in the field of world-class railway has brought the development of passenger safety, efficient operation and fast passenger service. The study of the railway speed-up has been progressed for a long time. As for the speed-up of trunkline railways, its design work has already promoted in some railway tacks and some track sections has already been under construction. In such a perspective we should review if the domestic signaling system is the optimal system and figure out the trend of signaling system for the speed-up that is recently applied over the world. In this way learning about justification and futurition, we should secure the national competitiveness in the long term and review the system available to international exports. Further, it is important to apply the result to the research project currently being pursued. In addition, predicting the recent international trends, we should show the direction of the future-oriented and economic signaling system.

This paper presents a new algorithm to restore the de-energized loads in electric power distribution systems for restoration by utilizing object-based structure and heuristic rules without branch and feeder overloading. In order to cope with a complex network configuration and frequent breaker switching operations in distribution systems, the component of power system is described as objects and the information of system configuration is constructed by connecting objects each other. Such a strategy is developed mainly based on the object search algorithm to increase computation efficiency. As a result, the proposed system has been implemented to efficiently deal with large distribution systems by reducing computational burden remarkably compared with the conventional methods.

Public health system for more prevention-oriented health promotion rather than hospital-based curative service, focusing population rather than individual, and comprehensive health management in the local community strongly needs to be constructed to solve major issues on efficiencies and equity problems which Korean healthcare system is facing nowadays. Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play. Medical care tries to cure those who have diseases, but public health tries not to become ill and not to be injured. Debates on how we build or rebuild public health system, which is contrasted with medical care system, are needed in Korea, focusing how needs for healthy community and right to health are fulfilled. Public health specialists for practising population health at local community level should be systematically recruited, the function of public health centers should be strengthened, and new government organization should be established for place-based health management.

At present, the EDI systems are indispensable software in port logistics industry. Currently, a monopolistic VAN/EDI service provider operates the EDI services. The current EDI client software has the 2-tier fat client/server architecture. However, the current EDI software is lack of Web interface and causes lots of cost for maintenance. Therefore, a variety of implementation architecture has been being tried by using script, XML and distributed object-oriented technology. Web/EDI and XML/EDI are the new EDI systems, However, the EDI systems have some limitations such as speed. This study intends to compare the variety implementation architecture for the EDI systems in the users' perspective and explore the strong and weak points of each architecture. We compared the EDI systems based on our experience of more than 2-years of implementation project for the EDI systems of port logistics. We categorized the EDI systems as client application EDI, Web EDI using script, XML/EDI, and 3-tier distributed object-oriented EDI system. We compared them with criteria such as speed, program maintenance, easiness of implementation and usage, security, and load balancing and fail-over. Finally we discuss the direction of optimal EDI system architecture for the future.

In the process of software development, object-oriented framework enables directly improving the productivity of the developer through the reuse of code, analysis and design informations. object-oriented framework is a set of usable and expandable classes and their connectivity. It is a meta solution that contains the code to be reused in the framework and the expert design results on a specific area. This paper constructs the framework that extracts the common services of BBS, chatting, white board and ftp applications for internet-based remote education system. These services can be mostly reused within heterogeneous applications in the form of component.

The traditional a roaches to software development, such as XP, UP, CBD and other CASE tools, are useful for constructing various software components. However, they are not designed to face the challenges of open environments that focus on service. The Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) is a component architecture that interconnects an application's different functional units, called services. SOA provides a good way to integrate the business process through well-defined interfaces and contracts between business services. In this paper, we propose a method of business process modeling based on SOA with a P2P approach. Also, A P2P business process modeling system is presented. This, results in admitting the reality of enterprise that changes on the basis of services, and suggests more efficient and visual direction for the process integration between enterprises.

A lot of valuable-piece of information are acquisited through ubiquitous sensor network(USN) system composed of man-made sensors. The telemetry system used for communicating to access informations between nature and human-beings monitors and estimates the status of infrastructure, utilities and natural environments to prevent hidden disasters, improving quality of life and productivity in multi-directional views. That would be the reason of USN subsistence. This paper will be a review on how to build long-term USN system. Therefore, this paper focuses on reviewing the sensor interface and the sensor network interface and its significance as the foundation stone for varying USN service profiles and showing its development example, and finally proposing a few of things to set up future-oriented USN open system.

GIS has been rapidly developed since 1995 when the Ministry of Construction and Transportation started the First National GIS Construction Project and built large scale topographic map at local governments level. From that time local governments have been built several application system such as road management system, waterworks management system, sewer management system, underground facilities management system, and urban planning information system, etc. However, the construction of GIS application system at different department level brings the problem of data sharing and overlapping database construction. To overcome this environment Enterprise GIS concepts has been introduced. In case of Seoul Metropolitan government Spatial Data Warehouse have been constructed. However, Seoul Metropolitan government still have the problem of inactive use of GIS system and adaption to the rapidly changing information environment. This study aims to present Strategic plan to uggrade Enterprise GIS concenpt from data centric to service centric architecture at local government level.
