As smartphones are rapidly and widely spread, their applications request gradually larger computation power. Recently, in the personal computer, computing power of hardware has exceeded performance requirement of software sometimes. Computing power of smartphone, however, will not grow at the same pace as demand of applications because of form factor to seek thinner devices and power limitation by relatively slow technical progress of battery. Computation offloading is getting huge attention as one of solution for the problem. It has not commonly used technology in spite of advantages for performance and power consumption since the existing offloading frameworks are difficult for application developer to utilize. This paper presents an application developer-friendly offloading framework, named SorMob. Based on Aspect Oriented Programming model, SorMob provides a convenient environment for application development, and its performance was verified by comparing with the existing offloading framework.

An electronic services which are based on Internet/Intranet business transactions are available to e-market places and get the broader business concepts. Component-based e-commerce technology is a recent trend towards resolving the e-commerce chanange at both system and ap-plication levels. The basic capabilities of component based systems should include the plug and play features at various granularities, interoper-ability across networks and mobility in various networking environments. E-business application developers are attempting to more towards web-service as a mechanism for developing component-based web-applications. Traditional process and development models are inadequately architectured to meet the rapidly evolving needs for the future of scalable web services. In this thesis, we focus specifically on the issues of e-business system architecture based on web service for establishing e-business system. We specifies and identifies design pattern for applying e-business domain in the context of multiple entities.

This study analyzed 493 domestic mathematics curriculum articles published in KCI's listings from 1997 to 2019 using LDA topic modeling. As a result, domestic mathematics curriculum research could be categorized into eight topics such as 'context in a curriculum', 'analysis a curriculum by the mathematical concept', 'form, system, meaning, and character of a curriculum', 'instruction and application of a curriculum', 'implementation and evaluation of a curriculum', 'tasks in a curriculum', 'analysis of a curriculum based on ability', 'compare and analysis curriculum and textbook'. The topic 'implementation and evaluation of a curriculum' was identified with the lowest proportion. Also, we performed the simple regression analysis with the weight of topics in the application period of the curriculum, and 'analysis of a curriculum based on ability' appeared as a 'hot topic'. Furthermore, topics appeared differently depending on the application period of the curriculum. Some of the appeared topics showed a tendency to match the emphasis of the highlight in a mathematics curriculum. Based on the results, future studies should develop frameworks for mathematics curriculum studies and extend the field of mathematical curriculum studies to make progress. Furthermore, future studies are needed to examine the enactment, feedback, and competency evaluation in the mathematical curriculum.

Recently, the number of mobile phone and PDA users has been rapidly increased. Such monitoring and control applications as geographical and traffic information systems are being used widely with wireless devices. In this paper, we introduce the mobile M/VC application framework that supports the rapid constructions of mobile monitoring and control (M/VC) applications. The mobile M/VC application framework uses the mobile Observer/Observable pattern that extends the Java's Observer/Observable for automatic interactions of server and client objects in wireless environments. It also provides the Multiplexer and Demultiplexer classes that supports the assembly feature of Observer and Observable objects. To construct an application using the framework, developers just need to create necessary objects from the Observable and MobileObserver classes and inter-connect them structurally(like the plug-and-play style) through the Multiplexer and Demultiplexer objects. Then, the state change of Observable objects is notified to the connected Observer objects and user's input with Observer objects is propagated to Observable objects. These mechanism is the main process for monitoring and control applications. Therefore, the mobile M/VC application framework can improve the productivity of mobile applications and enhance the reusability of such components as Observer and Observable objects in wireless environments.

In order to cope with the ill-defined problem of human behavior being immanent uncertainty, several methodologies have been studied in game theoretic, social psychological and political science frameworks. As methods to arrange system elements systematically and draw out the consenting structural model concretively, ISM, FSM and DEMATEL based on graph theory etc. have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a modified structural modeling method to recognize the nature of problem. We introduce the statistical method to adjust the establishment levels in group decision situation. From this, it will become possible to obtain effectively and smoothly the structural model of group members in comparison with the traditional methods. Further we propose a procedure for achieving the consenting structural model of group members based on the structural modeling method. By applying the method to recognize the nature of ill-defined problems, it will be possible to solve the given problem effectively and rationally. In order to inspect the effectiveness of the method, we conduct a practical problem as an empirical study: "Behavior analysis of passengers for the Joban line of East Japan Railway Company after new railway service of Tsukuba Express opened".

Purpose Due to the complexity of policy environment in modern society, it is accepted as common basics of policy design to mix up a variety of policy instruments aiming the multiple functions. However, under the current situation of written-down policy specification, not only the public officers but also the policy researchers cannot easily grasp such frameworks as policy portfolio. The purpose of this study is to develop "Policy Attributes Taxonomy" identifying and classifying the public programs to help making decisions for allocative efficiency with effectiveness-based information. Design/methodology/approach To figure out the main scheme and classification criteria of Policy Attributes Taxonomy which represents characteristics of public policies, previous theories and researches on policy components were explored. In addition, to test taxonomic feasibility of certain information system, a set of "Feasibility Standards" was drawn from "requirements for well-organized criteria" of eminent taxonomy literatures. Finally, current government classification system in the area of social service was tested to visualize the application of Taxonomy and Standards. Findings Program Taxonomy Schemes were set including "policy goals", "policy targets", "policy tools", "logical relation" and "delivery system". Each program and project could be condensed into these attributes, making their design more easily distinguishable. Policy portfolio could be readily made out by extracting certain characteristics according to this scheme. Moreover, this taxonomy could be used for rearrangement of present "Program Budget System" or estimation of "Basic Income".

Mesoporous materials are a sort of promising materials with a wide spectrum of applications due to their unique well-defined porous structures that provide high surface area and controllable pore size. Among mesoporous materials, periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) are highly emerging materials in sense of applications due to their large pore sizes and organic functionality in the frame. The organic functional groups in the frameworks of these solids allow tuning of the surface properties and modification of the bulk properties of the material. This article provides a comprehensive overview of PMOs and discusses their different functionalities, morphology and applications, such as catalysis, environmental applications, and adsorption, for which PMOs have been used after their discovery. The review article will provide fundamental understanding of PMOs and their advanced applications to readers.

In this paper, we study the feasibility of receiver diversity for application to downlink cellular networks, where low-energy devices are equipped with information decoding and energy harvesting receivers for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. We compare several options that are based on selection combining and maximum ratio combining, which provide different implementation complexities. By capitalizing on the Frechet inequality, we shed light on the advantages and limitations of each scheme as a function of the transmission rate and harvested power that need to be fulfilled at the low-energy devices. Our analysis shows that no scheme outperforms the others for every system setup. It suggests, on the other hand, that the low-energy devices need to operate in an adaptive fashion, by choosing the receiver diversity scheme as a function of the imposed requirements. With the aid of stochastic geometry, we introduce mathematical frameworks for system-level analysis. We show that they constitute an important tool for system-level optimization and, in particular, for identifying the diversity scheme that optimizes wireless information and power transmission as a function of a sensible set of parameters. Monte Carlo simulations are used to validate our findings and to illustrate the trade-off that emerge in cellular networks with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer.

In practical distributed sensing and prediction applications over wireless sensor networks (WSN), environmental sensing activities are highly dynamic because of noisy sensory information from moving source signals. The recent distributed online convex optimization frameworks have been developed as promising approaches for solving approximately stochastic learning problems over network of sensors in a distributed manner. Negligence of mobility consequence in the original distributed saddle point algorithm (DSPA) could strongly affect the convergence rate and stability of learning results. In this paper, we propose an integrated sliding windows mechanism in order to stabilize predictions and achieve better convergence rates in cooperative detection of a moving source signal scenario.

We introduce multivariate exponential smoothing models based on a vector innovations structural time series framework. The models enable us to exploit potential inter-series dependencies to improve the fit and forecasts of multivariate (vector) time series. Models are applied to forecast the exchange rates of the UK pound (UKP) and US dollar (USD) against the Korean won (KRW) observed on monthly basis; subseqently, we compare their performance with alternative models. We observe that the multivariate exponential smoothing models are superior to alternatives.
