In Internet of Things (IoT) environments, users are required to search for IoT devices necessary to access services for accomplishing their tasks. As IoT technologies advance, a user task will utilize various types of IoT-based services that are deployed in an IoT environment. Therefore, to accomplish a user task effectively, the services that utilize IoT devices need to be found in a certain geographical region. In addition, the service discovery needs to be accomplished in a stable manner while considering dynamically changing IoT environments. To deal with these issues, we propose two service discovery methods that consider geographic cohesiveness of services in IoT environments. We compare the effectiveness of the proposed methods against a traditional service discovery algorithm that does not consider geographic cohesiveness.

The transaction was happened within a single business entity or a single marketplace at the stage of e-business. It becomes to grow to complex form. Expecially, the need for business collaboration between business entities or marketplaces has being on the rise as the core topic. The format translation between documents is very important factor according to various the exchanged document formats. In this paper, we define ebXML as the basic format of exchanged document according to object-oriented business transaction. Also we design the multi-format translation system to support the translation of various document formats. The proposed system in this paper, is designed with model-driven method and it is possible to construct with various structure as for system environment. The proposed translation system is designed to use the proposed system as adding the corresponding parsing module even though any format of document. Also, we increase the reusability of data as using the common data set. In this paper, we prove the superiority of the proposed system to compare the performance with the legacy system for various format translation.

As a service-oriented paradigm, web service composition has obtained great attention from both academia and industry, especially in the area of cloud service. Nowadays more and more web services providing the same function but different in QoS are available in cloud, so an important mission of service composition strategy is to select the optimal composition solution according to QoS. Furthermore, the selected composition solution should satisfy the service level agreement (SLA) which defines users' request for the performance of composite service, such as price and response time. A composite service is feasible only if its QoS satisfies user's request. In order to obtain composite service with the optimal QoS and avoid SLA violations simultaneously, in this paper we first propose a QoS evaluation method which takes the SLA satisfaction into account. Then we design a service selection algorithm based on our QoS evaluation method. At last, we put forward a parallel running strategy for the proposed selection algorithm. The simulation results show that our approach outperforms existing approaches in terms of solutions' optimality and feasibility. Through our running strategy, the computation time can be reduced to a large extent.

Because the construction is becoming bigger and the construction environment is rapidly changing, IT/IS(Information Technology and Information System) of the construction is recently suggested with the alternative proposal. So not only is a study progressed in the area of the BIM(Buidilng Information Modeling), VC(Virtual Construction) and CIC (Computer-Integrated Construction) but also of the information database of the construction for building the information infrastructure of the construction in the domestic construction. Because object-oriented 3D CAD improves the efficiency of a design work and includes the object information which can use with the base of the information database of the construction, it has the high value not only in the design level but also in the construction life cycle. But compared with the effect, the use of 3D CAD is sluggish in the construction. In this study, after surveying about lowly using 3D CAD on the point of AEC (Architect-Engineer-Contract), the result is analyzed with AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). So the aim of this study is to offer the base to find the solution of the Affecting factors about lowly using 3D CAD.

The microstructural features and mechanical behavior of directionally solidified $(Y_2O_3)ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ eutectic fibers after extended beat treatment in oxidizing environment were investigated. The fiber was grown continuously by an Edge-defined Film-fed Growth (EFG) technique. The microstructure was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM). The microstructure of the fiber in the as-fabricated state consists of highly oriented colonv and fine lamellar microstructure along the fiber axis. Tensile strength of the $(Y_2O_3)ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ eutectic fiber remained unchanged with heat treatment at temperatures between $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1500^{\circ}C$ up to 300h. The weibulls modulus remained fairly constant after extended thermal exposure. The fracture toughness and crack propagation behavior were investigated. The fracture toughness ($K_{1C}$) of the $(Y_2O_3)ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ eutectic fiber in the as-fabricated state were measured to be 3.6 ${\pm}$ 0.5 MPa${\cdot}m^{1/2}$ by an indentation technique and 2.2 ${\pm}$ 0.2 MPa${\cdot}m^{1/2}$ by assuming elliptical flaw of a semi-infinite solid, respectively. The $(Y_2O_3)ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ eutectic fiber showed a radial (Palmqvist) crack type and exhibited an orthotropic crack growth behavior under 100 g load.

This study attempts to reconsider the significance of political economy as a theory of knowledge and/or a method for explaining the convergence of broadcast and telecommunications. It is going to suggest what the domains of political economy should be in the future by both highlighting the characteristics and blind spots of previous studies and drawing some distinctive features of a new media environment. The principals and recent research trends in political economy are reviewed in order to make clear that the historical totality as a meta-framework of political economy needs to be reexamined in the era of convergence. Although the scope of political economy has been limited to criticize the structure of media ownerships, the study emphasizes the importance of media consumer theory. It also discusses the problems of free market theory, distortion of active media audience theory, and limitations and creative tension of audience commodity. Finally, this study stresses the significance of audience-oriented policies in order to make approach to practical sides of media politics.

Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technology will be merged to be a next generation Web that leads presentation-oriented Web to data-centric Web. In the next generation Web, semantic processing, Web platform, and data fusion are most important technology factors. Among them, Cool URI used for data fusion can provide permanent and human readable URI and it has been already used in Blog system. However, Cool URI is not suitable to I18N environment such as Hangul and it is difficult to be adopted because several encodings are mingled in Korea Web society. In this paper, we discussed technology issues and Cool URI Web component to use Cool URI with Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI). A proposed approach provides same function regardless of encoding type and supports both file system based and CGI based methods to be easily used from other applications. Results from several test environments show the implemented Web component satisfy the design purpose.

Recently, an ALV (Automated Lifting Vehicle) is studied as an efficient transporter, which can reduce the waiting time during ship operation in a container terminal. There are little of studies on an ALV system considering dynamic factors after analysing the cooperation between equipments. The performance of an ALV depends on self-loading & unloading of an ALV, vehicle’s interference, and occupancy of an available transfer point under dynamic environment. So, it is very difficult to evaluate the productivity of a container terminal with an ALV system. Therefore the simulation model with operational rules that be apt for an ALV system must be developed. Also the model has to consider the characteristics of interface operations and vehicle traffic. Supposing an container terminal with perpendicular layout, this study analyses the process of container handling operation and proposes operational rules such as the ALV dispatching, routing algorithm and so on for a model. We developed a simulation model for a container terminal with an ALV system using object-oriented simulation software, Anylogic.

As the cloud services, the underlying technology of the digital convergence environment, have been widely adopted in the business, personal information protection has been recognized as one of the major issues to resolve. When cloud services are used to process the personal information, the personal information protection law speculates the establishment of a contract or service level agreement(SLA). This research presents 7 privacy indicators and 13 metrics which can be included in cloud SLA, based on the analysis of related regulation and standards and the SMART(Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Relevant and Timely) model. The proposed indicators are examined using the Focus Group Interview method in terms of materiality and feasibility. The results show that all the proposed indicators are meaningful and useful.

This article is exploring the possibility of establishment of a 'Smart Citizens Party'. In the society based the social computing, the individual leads the technical progress and the society which is adapted for this circumstance is changing in the direction of user-centric. Also, in the political process, we can see this social phenomenon. In other words, there's a quite possibility that decision-making structure may shift from the top-down approach to the bottom-up approach by the networked individuals or flexible voluntary group. In this context, this paper will propose the 'Smart Citizens Party' model that accept the change of political and social environment due to the advent of the social computing and cope with this change. The 'Smart Citizens Party' means the 'Party for Smartizen' of this social computing era. The 'Smart Citizens Party' is the intermediate party that link the political party to the civil society and is smart citizen's party that is operated democratically by active participation of citizens. This paper will review on structure and operational issues of political parties in Korea and study future-oriented solution and/or way to discovered problems of political parties in Korea.
