Smartphones have features that users feel free to install/delete the program they want. Their emergence makes many developers rush into the Smartphone application development market. Thus, developing good applications quickly is becoming even more intense competition in the market. Because, however, the application development and deployment procedures are simple in the Android environments and anyone can participate in the development easily, applications not validated thoroughly are likely to be deployed. Therefore, a systematic approach that can verify Android-based applications with fewer burdens is required. In this paper, we propose a method that generates automatically GUI-based testing scenarios for the Android applications. The automated test scenario generation can reduce the time which the developer spends on testing, thus it can improve the productivity of the development in the testing phase.

MMORPG genre is based on the belief that all users in virtual world are equal. All users are able to obtain the corresponding wealth or status as they strive under the same resource, time. However, game bot is the main factor for harming this fair competition, causing benign gamers to feel a relative deprivation and deviate from the game. Game bots mainly form GFG(Gold Farming Group), which collects the goods in the game indiscriminately and adversely affects the economic system of the game. A general game bot detection algorithm is useful for detecting each bot, but it only covers few portions of GFG, not the whole, so it needs a wider range of detecting method. In this paper, we propose a method of detecting GFG based on items used in MMORPG genre. Several items that are mainly traded in the game were selected and the flows of those items were represented by a network. We Identified the characteristics of exchanging items of GFG bots and can identify the GFG's item trade network with real datasets from one of the popular online games.

Recently, competition between companies has intensified and so has the necessity of creating a new business value inventions has increased. A numbers of Business organizations are beginning to realize the importance of business process management. Processes however can often not go the way they were initially designed or non-efficient performance process model could be designed. This can be due to a lack of cooperation and understanding between business analysts and system developers. To solve this problem, business process mining which can be used as the basis of the business process re-engineering has been recognized to an important concept. Current process mining research has only focused their attention on extracting workflow-based process model from competed process logs. Thus there have a limitations in expressing various forms of business processes. The disadvantage in this method is process discovering time and log scanning time in itself take a considerable amount of time. This is due to the re-scanning of the process logs with each new update. In this paper, we will presents a modified FP-Tree algorithm for FP-Tree based business processes, which are used for association analysis in data mining. Our modified algorithm supports the discovery of the appropriate level of process model according to the user's need without re-scanning the entire process logs during updated.

The Rabbit grass(Trifolium Repens, call it 'Clover') is a representative harmful plant of lawn, and it starts growing earlier than lawn, forming a water pipe on top of the lawn and hindering the photosynthesis and growth of the lawn. As a result, in competition between lawn and clover, clover territory spreads, but lawn is damaged and dried up. Damage to the affected lawn area will accelerate during the rainy season as well as during the plant's rear stage, spreading the area where soil is exposed. Therefore, the restoration of damaged lawn is causing psychological stress and a lot of economic burden. The purpose of this study is to distinguish clover which is a representative harmful plant on lawn, to identify the distribution of damaged areas due to the spread of clover, and to review of changes in vegetation before and after the eradication of clover. For this purpose, a time series analysis of three vegetation indices calculated based on images of convergence Drone with RGB(Red Green Blue) and BG-NIR(Near Infra Red)sensors was reviewed to identify the separation between lawn and clover for selective eradication, and the distribution of damaged lawn for recovery plan. In particular, examined timeseries changes in the ecology of clover before and after the weed-whacking by manual and brush cutter. And also, the method of distinguishing lawn from clover was explored during the mid-year period of growth of the two plants. This study shows that the time series analysis of the MGRVI(Modified Green-Red Vegetation Index), NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and MSAVI(Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) indices of drone-based RGB and BG-NIR images according to the growth characteristics between lawn and clover can confirm the availability of change trends after lawn damage and clover eradication.

This paper, a sequel to Yoo and Lee (1990), attempts to investigate the interindustry determinants of technical efficiency in Korea's manufacturing industries, and also to conduct an exploratory analysis on the stability of technical efficiency over time. The hypotheses set forth in this paper are most found in the existing literature on technical efficiency. They are, however, revised and shed a new light upon, whenever possible, to accommodate any Korea-specific conditions. The set of regressors used in the cross-sectional analysis are chosen and the hypotheses are posed in such a way that our result can be made comparable to those of similar studies conducted for the U.S. and Japan by Caves and Barton (1990) and Uekusa and Torii (1987), respectively. It is interesting to observe a certain degree of similarity as well as differentiation between the cross-section evidence on Korea's manufacturing industries and that on the U.S. and Japanese industries. As for the similarities, we can find positive and significant effects on technical efficiency of relative size of production and the extent of specialization in production, and negative and significant effect of the variations in capital-labor ratio within industries. The curvature influence of concentration ratio on technical efficiency is also confirmed in the Korean case. There are differences, too. We cannot find any significant effects of capital vintage, R&D and foreign competition on technical efficiency, all of which were shown to be robust determinants of technical efficiency in the U.S. case. We note, however, that the variables measuring capital vintage effect, R&D and the degree of foreign competition in Korean markets are suspected to suffer from serious measurement errors incurred in data collection and/or conversion of industrial classification system into the KSIC (Korea Standard Industrial Classification) system. Thus, we are reluctant to accept the findings on the effects of these variables as definitive conclusions on Korea's industrial organization. Another finding that interests us is that the cross-industry evidence becomes consistently strong when we use the efficiency estimates based on gross output instead of value added, which provides us with an ex post empirical criterion to choose an output measure between the two in estimating the production frontier. We also conduct exploratory analyses on the stability of the estimates of technical efficiency in Korea's manufacturing industries. Though the method of testing stability employed in this paper is never a complete one, we cannot find strong evidence that our efficiency estimates are stable over time. The outcome is both surprising and disappointing. We can also show that the instability of technical efficiency over time is partly explained by the way we constructed our measures of technical efficiency. To the extent that our efficiency estimates depend on the shape of the empirical distribution of plants in the input-output space, any movements of the production frontier over time are not reflected in the estimates, and possibilities exist of associating a higher level of technical efficiency with a downward movement of the production frontier over time, and so on. Thus, we find that efficiency measures that take into account not only the distributional changes, but also the shifts of the production frontier over time, increase the extent of stability, and are more appropriate for use in a dynamic context. The remaining portion of the instability of technical efficiency over time is not explained satisfactorily in this paper, and future research should address this question.

A variety of intelligent application using the sensor network system is being studied. In general, the sensor network consists of nodes which equipped with a variety of sensing module and is utilized to collect environment information. Recently, the demands of multimedia data are increasing due to the demands of more detailed environmental monitoring or high-quality data. In this paper, we overcome the limitations of low bandwidth in Zigbee-based sensor networks and propose a routing algorithm for real-time multimedia data transmission. In the previously proposed algorithm for multimedia data transmission occurs delay time of routing setup phase and has a low data transmission speed due to bandwidth limitations of Zigbee. In this paper, we propose the hybrid routing algorithm that consist of Zigbee and Bluetooth and solve the bandwidth problem of existing algorithm. We also propose the disjointed multipath setup algorithm based on competition that overcome delay time of routing setup phase in existing algorithm. To evaluate the superiority of the proposed algorithm, we compare it with the existing algorithm. Our experimental results show that the latency was reduced by approximately 78% and the communication speed is increased by approximately 6.9-fold.

This paper proposes an effective medium access mechanism which is based on IEEE 802.11 to transmit an urgent message, The main features of the proposed mechanism are as follows. First, when it comes to channel access to have high priority, it has a shorter interval between frames than that specified in standard document. Second, we use fixed window size instead of back-off window with an exponential increase. Performance evaluation of proposed mechanism is executed by simulation and compare with the node using the specified mechanism in standard document. Performance evaluation results show that according to increasing competition the nodes using proposed method have less accessing time than the conventional methods. Also, the proposed method can improve processing time because of the decreasing transmission delay.

This paper presents the line contention avoidance experiments with an optical switch, which was selected based on the comparison analysis and evaluation of the various characteristics. For example, the function, structure, strengths and weaknesses of the optical switches. After considering the nonblocking, modularity, upgrade ability and optical power loss of the several kind of the switch fabrics, a switch was selected. The selected switch fabric by using wavelength converters was controlled to avoid contention of the optical lines. In this experiment shows an example of three cases. As a result of this experiment, optical signal shows a changed peek of optical power in output. By showing a peak it confirms that the contention was avoided. By analyzing of changed optical power according to the channel setting time and release time to control of the switch could be determined. If this analysis applied to the network design, economical and efficient structures can be formed.

Interest in high productivity and streamlined operation is growing amid a heated competition between ports and mega size vessel oriented operation. It becomes clear that terminals that operate YT(Yard Tractor) for transportation in container yard have less efficiency in operation and cost comparing terminals functioning AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) system. To offset disadvantages arising out of YT operations, continual efforts (e,g YT pooling operation) were taken place for the last decade, but the result has not been fruitful; YT pooling operation still has a problem in that it cannot read individual YT's actual location. This study suggests 'YT dynamic operation model'- a practical application of RTLS(Real Time Location System) technology which will solve YT pooling operation problems.

Incheon International Airport(IIA) is planned to open in about two years. Korean government has an ambition to make IIA a major hub airport in Northeast Asia. The most essential and required condition for an airport to be a successful hub airport in a certain region is to have more efficient flight service network than the other airports in the same region. IIA should compete with Japanese airports to be a major hub in Northeast Asia because Japanese government also has a plan to expand greatly the airport capacity in Tokyo area and Kansai airport in Osaka. It is necessary for both IIA and Korean national air carriers to compose efficient flight service network considering hub competition with Japanese major airports. As the liberalization of international air transport industry would give more marketing freedom to airlines, they would plan the flight service network and flight schedule based on market analysis instead of governmental regulations. In the economically liberalized environment, it is very required to analyze air passengers' flight choice behaviour in order to induce other carriers and passengers through IIA's attractive flight service network. Disaggregate model is more appropriate than aggregate model to analyze consumers' behaviour. The information derived from disaggregate choice model of air passengers could be utilized in devising efficient flight network and schedule plan. Value of travel time or trade off ratio between flight frequency and travel time which could be estimated from discrete choice model could be utilized for scheduling an efficient flight plan for airlines and composing efficient flight service network for IIA.
