The Sewol ferry catastrophe that took place on April 16 2014 was unprecedented in terms of its sociopolitical implications, which had reverberated throughout the Korean nation. Mindful of such distinct characteristics of the Sewol ferry catastrophe, this thesis looks into the salience of the agendas portrayed in Twitter and Portal News coverage on the disaster and the correlation between the attribute-specific agendas of the foregoing mediums by making use of the agenda rank order correlation method. Extraction and analysis of big data revealed that first, while the hypothesis that there were little difference in terms of salience among the main agendas between Twitter and Portal News was dismissed, the rank order correlation proved to be high as regards the main agendas on Twitter and Portal News. This signifies that Twitter agendas exert influence over those on Portal News. Next, and regarding the five main agendas on the incident, there existed differences in salience between the attribute-specific agendas of the two mediums, with low figures for corresponding rank order correlations. Such results signify that Twitter and Portal News have little influence over each other as regards their agenda rank order correlation.

The introduction of wireless information technology gives rise to new mobile services in all kinds of areas of out daily life. Mobile healthcare system is a production of composite ICT (Information and Communication Technology) which focused on signal sensing, processing, and communication in wireless environment. The mobile and wireless revolution promises not only expanded access to patient health information, but also improved patient care. In this paper, we describe a surrogate host based mobile healthcare information system which utilized Grid computing for real-time ECG signal processing. The surrogate host provides seamless interface between mobile device and Medical Grid portal. The security extension of GSI (Grid Security Infrastructure) allows mobile users to access Grid portal in a secure and convenient manner. The presented system architecture can be used as a secure enterprise mobile healthcare system for hospital physicians.

As there are needs to search the Web information via wire or wireless telephones, VoiceXML forum was established to develop and promote the Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VoiceXML). VoiceXML simplifies the creation of personalized interactive voice response services on the Web, and allows voice and phone access to information on Web sites, call center databases. Also, it can utilize the Web-based technologies, such as CGI(Common Gateway Interface) scripts. In this paper, we have developed the voice portal service platform based on VoiceXML called TeleGateway. It enables integration of voice services with data services using the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS) engines. Also, we have showed the various services on voice portal services.
