  • As the importance of software has become more widely recognized, many Korean universities are designating software classes as an essential subject. However, there is a difficulty in achieving the educational goal because the education is done without sufficient understanding of the non-Major learner. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the opinions of the humanities college students who have taken the software basic education course and confirm the changes of the students' digital minds. Based on this, we suggest considerations for the basic software education for non-Majors. The results of the analysis show that pre-admission software education does not contribute much to university education, while students respond positively to the practice-based education using student-oriented project subjects. Therefore, it is desirable to provide an environment where learners can gradually develop their digital minds by providing students with more software access opportunities based on hands-on practice in basic software education for non-Majors.

  • The accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, caused by an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami, resulted in a failure of the power systems that are needed to cool the reactors at the plant. The accident progression in the absence of heat removal systems caused Units 1-3 to undergo fuel melting. Containment pressurization and hydrogen explosions ultimately resulted in the escape of radioactivity from reactor containments into the atmosphere and ocean. Problems in containment venting operation, leakage from primary containment boundary to the reactor building, improper functioning of standby gas treatment system (SGTS), unmitigated hydrogen accumulation in the reactor building were identified as some of the reasons those added-up in the severity of the accident. The Fukushima accident not only initiated worldwide demand for installation of adequate control and mitigation measures to minimize the potential source term to the environment but also advocated assessment of the existing mitigation systems performance behavior under a wide range of postulated accident scenarios. The uncertainty in estimating the released fraction of the radionuclides due to the Fukushima accident also underlined the need for comprehensive understanding of fission product behavior as a function of the thermal hydraulic conditions and the type of gaseous, aqueous, and solid materials available for interaction, e.g., gas components, decontamination paint, aerosols, and water pools. In the light of the Fukushima accident, additional experimental needs identified for hydrogen and fission product issues need to be investigated in an integrated and optimized way. Additionally, as more and more passive safety systems, such as passive autocatalytic recombiners and filtered containment venting systems are being retrofitted in current reactors and also planned for future reactors, identified hydrogen and fission product issues will need to be coupled with the operation of passive safety systems in phenomena oriented and coupled effects experiments. In the present paper, potential hydrogen and fission product issues raised by the Fukushima accident are discussed. The discussion focuses on hydrogen and fission product behavior inside nuclear power plant containments under severe accident conditions. The relevant experimental investigations conducted in the technical scale containment THAI (thermal hydraulics, hydrogen, aerosols, and iodine) test facility (9.2 m high, 3.2 m in diameter, and $60m^3$ volume) are discussed in the light of the Fukushima accident.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the efficiency of local waters in Chungnam. The Statistics of Waterworks data released by the Ministry of Environment were analyzed by DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). DEA is a relatively data oriented approach to evaluate the performance of a set of peer entities called decision making units which convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. It was possible to obtain significant results on the regional efficiency of local waters in 15 regional, the causes and degree of their inefficiency and what areas one could refer to. It was evaluated that the efficiency of Gun regional was insufficient, and it was found that an improvement policy was needed to improve productivity. This study provided implications for entire local waters operation in Chungnam.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop conceptualization models of reading, information, ICT, and digital literacy through conceptual differences of these literacy by reviewing and defining the concepts of literacy as well as reading, information, ICT, and digital literacy. Computer literacy has emerged as a concept that explains the phenomenon of contemporary social, cultural, and information technology development, and since then, computer literacy has since changed to IT, ICT literacy, and digital literacy. As a result of the study, a conceptualization model of the reading, information, ICT, and digital literacy was developed. In this model, these literacy whose terms have changed according to the technological development of media, have been classified as medium-centered literacy. And reading and information literacy that focuses on the cognitive process of understanding, utilizing, and evaluating texts and information is categorized as process-oriented literacy. In the digital environment, reading and information literacy is a core competence to critically think and evaluate the texts that are on media, and further research is needed to reduce the reading and the information gap among readers.

  • Object modeling has been cinsidered as an efficient technique for eleciting user requirements and communicat-ing between developers and customers. But model itself is not easy to understand what recult will be after coding and whether it will be meet with the requirements of customers. In this paper, we developed the envuroment for visualization of object model for validating with rewuirnent at the early stage. Therefore, we defined correct and complete rules which can transform the object model.the delierables of Shler/Mellor's method, into a for-mal specification language of VDM(Vienna Development Methods) with a mathematical basis. This basis provides the means of proving that a specification is realizable and proving properties of a system.Therefore.the completeness, preciceness of object model can be verified by proving the transformed VDM specification and prototyping by constructing a visualization supporting enviroment.

  • object-oriented programming is used to develop next-generation telecommu- nications services running on the distributed processing environment. In order to test these services efficiently at the system-level during not only in the development phase but also in the operation phase, we define an embedded monitor service within the infrastructure to monitor the operation of the distributed programs, and describe a system-level test mechanism based on the monitor service. By separating the function of monitor server which monitors operations of objects and collects monitored data and that of tester which makes analysis and decides the sequence of test events, the invasive effect of monitoring can be minimized. At the same time, accurate diagnosis on the system can be achieve by exploiting the test mechanism. The mechanism, as a core component for the implementation of real-time fault-tol-erant systems, is applicable to general-purpose distributeded systems as well.

  • With the development of ubiquitous computing and the construction of infrastructure for one-to-one personalized services, the importance of context-aware services based on user's situation and environment is being spotlighted. The smart home technology connects real space and virtual space, and converts situations in reality into information in a virtual space, and provides user-oriented intelligent services using this information. In this paper, we proposed the discovery of the behavior sequence pattern using the mining in the smart home. We discovered the behavior sequence pattern by using mining to add time variation to the association rule between locations that occur in location transactions. We can predict the path or behavior of user according to the recognized time sequence and provide services accordingly. To evaluate the performance of behavior consequence pattern using mining, we conducted sample t-tests so as to verify usefulness. This evaluation found that the difference of satisfaction by service was statistically meaningful, and showed high satisfaction.

  • Ontology-based context models are widely used in ubiquitous computing environment because they have advantages in the acquisition of conceptual context through inferencing, context sharing, and context reusing. Among the benefits, inferencing enables context-aware applications to use conceptual contexts which cannot be acquired by sensors. However, inferencing causes processing delay and thus becomes the major obstacle to the implementation of context-aware applications. The delay becomes longer as the amount of contexts increases. In this paper, we propose a context pre-fetching method to reduce the size of contexts to be processed in a working memory in attempt to speed up inferencing. For this, we extend the query-tree method to identify contexts relevant to the queries of a context-aware application. Maintaining the pre-fetched contexts optimal in a working memory, the processing delay of inference reduces without the loss of the benefits of ontology-based context model. We apply the proposed scheme to our ubiquitous computing middleware, Active Surroundings, and demonstrate the performance enhancement by experiments.

  • didates.본 논문은 절차 중심 소프트웨어를 객체 지향 소프트웨어로 재/역공학하기 위한 다단계 절차중 첫 절차인 객체 추출 절차에 대하여 기술한다. 사용한 객체 추출 방법은 전처리, 기본 분할 및 결합, 정제 결합, 결정 및 통합의 다섯 단계로 이루어진다 : 1) 전처리 과정에서는 객체 추출을 위한 FTV(Function, Type, Variable) 그래프를 생성/분할 및 클러스터링하고, 2) 기본 분할 및 결합 단계에서는 다중 객체 추출을 위한 그래프를 생성하고 생성된 그래프의 정적 객체를 추출하며, 3) 정제 결합 단계에서는 동적 객체를 추출하며, 4) 결정 단계에서는 영역 모델링과 다중 객체 후보군과의 유사도를 측정하여 영역 전문가가 하나의 최적합 후보를 선택할 수 있는 측정 결과를 제시하며, 5) 통합 단계에서는 전처리 과정에서 분리된 그래프가 여러 개 존재할 경우 각각의 처리된 그래프를 통합한다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터링 순서가 고정된 결정론적 방법을 사용하였으며, 가능한 경우의 수에 따른 다중 객체 후보, 객관적이고 의미가 있는 객체 추출 방법으로의 정제와 결정, 영역 모델링을 통한 의미적 관점에 기초한 방법 등을 사용한다. 이러한 방법을 사용함으로써 전문가는 객체 추출 단계에서 좀더 다양하고 객관적인 선택을 할 수 있다.Abstract This paper presents an object extraction process, which is the first phase of a methodology to transform procedural software to object-oriented software. The process consists of five steps: the preliminary, basic clustering & inclusion, refinement, decision and integration. In the preliminary step, FTV(Function, Type, Variable) graph for object extraction is created, divided and clustered. In the clustering & inclusion step, multiple graphs for static object candidate groups are generated. In the refinement step, each graph is refined to determine dynamic object candidate groups. In the decision step, the best candidate group is determined based on the highest similarity to class group modeled from domain engineering. In the final step, the best group is integrated with the domain model. The paper presents a new clustering method based on static clustering steps, possible object candidate grouping cases based on abstraction concept, a new refinement algorithm, a similarity algorithm for multiple n object and m classes, etc. This process provides reengineering experts an comprehensive and integrated environment to select the best or optimal object candidates.
