Performance of software development is measured by two major criteria - roductivity and quality. Although the criteria is empirically tested in software engineering research, they often present with a limited way under consideration of a few factors or contexts for developers to focus on the either productivity facets or quality facets. Analyzing data on software development performance collected over a 13-year period from 20 countries, we investigated how major software development factors - development type, development platform, development technique, language type, DBMS, methodology, methodology acquisition, CASE,, summary of work effort, resource level, max team size, affect the performance of software development. The results suggest that productivity and quality of software development are affected by different factors and context: function points, line of code, extreme defects, major defects, or minor defects. This research provides the empirical evidence that the two performance criteria require for software developer to have careful attention to find the optimal balance between the two performance criteria.

The advancement of computer network technology, coupled with the growing prevalence of Internet, is promoting ubiquitous computing, also called next-generation computing paradigm, as an important study field that many researches are joining and undergoing. In this paper, as the support technology for creating ubiquitous computer environment, we design the SSDLbased on XMLwhich is used for sending and receiving data by USN application service in a standardized form. A ref model, with no regard to different platforms or implementation languages, is proposed in our research on the basis of web service so that most of unspecified users could apply the standardized protocol designed for sensor data to real sensor data in various application environments based on the designed language. Therefore, through this research we can take advantage of acquisition of USN-based technology and technology draft related to application service.

This paper describes the development of the SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system which can be controlled via the Internet. In this paper, the SCADA system is composed of a number of microprocessor-based RTU(Remote Terminal Unit)s, a MMI(Man Machine Interface) host, a SCADA server, and SCADA clients. There are two protocols used in the system. Each RTU and the MMI host are connected by a RS-485 line and CSMA/CD(Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection) protocol is used to communicate with each other. TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is used among the MMI host, the SCADA server, and SCADA clients. The equipments installed in the field are controlled by a number of RTUs. The function of the MMI host is to acquire real-time data from RTUs and control them. The SCADA server supports data transfer between the networked MMI host and the SCADA client on the web-server through TCP/lP. Data transfer is possible regardless of the type of network only if there are TCP/lP Winsock-compatible stack driver. The SCADA client is implemented as the shape of web-page by means of JAVA language. Therefore, it runs on a web-browser such as Netscape and Explorer, and allows a number of users to access this SCADA system.

Technology evaluation for technology innovation of venture firms should take the rapidly changing corporate environment, the ambiguity of language used in evaluation, and the inaccuracy of evaluation index into consideration. In this paper, targeting the absorptive capacity and technological entrepreneurship which are typical evaluation factors of venture firms, an ACTEM model to calculate the importance, priority, and dynamic capability of factors, applying Fuzzy-AHP was proposed. The fuzzy theory was introduced to compensate for the ambiguity of cognitive judgments when calculating weighted values for the factors that made up an assessment scale. An assessment criteria framework for absorptive capacity, technological entrepreneurship, and dynamic capability, which were not considered in previous studies on the evaluation and measurement of technological prowess, so that the users could have a realistic alternative to choose. The study compared the ACTEM model with the old AHP assessment method and found that "knowledge acquisition" and "producing ability" were the highest in absorptive capacity and technological entrepreneurship, respectively, thus demonstrating its validity.

Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV, Drone) are highly regarded for their potential in the agricultural field, and research and development are actively conducted for various purposes. Therefore, in this study, to present a framework for tracking research trends in UAV use in the agricultural field, we secured a keyword search strategy and analyzed social network, a methodology used to analyze recent research trends or technological trends as an analysis model applied. This study consists of three stages. As a first step in data acquisition, search terms and search formulas were developed for experts in accordance with the Keyword Search Strategy. Data collection was conducted based on completed search terms and search expressions. As a second step, frequency analysis was conducted by country, academic field, and journal based on the number of thesis presentations. Finally, social network analysis was performed. The analysis used the open source programming language 'Python'. Thanks to the efficiency and convenience of unmanned aerial vehicles, this field is growing rapidly and China and the United States are leading global research. Korea ranked 18th, and bold investment in this field is needed to advance agriculture. The results of this study's analysis could be used as important information in government policy making.

The present web informations are mainly described in terms of HTML, which users obtain through input devices such as mouse, keyboard, etc. Thus the existing GUI environment have not supported human's most natural information acquisition means, that is, voice. To solve the problem, several vendors are developing voice user interface. However these products are deficient in man -machine interactivity and their accommodation of existing web environment. This paper presents a VUI(Voice User Interface) supporting web browser by utilizing more and more maturing speech recognition technology and VoiceXML, a markup language derived from XML. It provides users with both interfaces, VUI as well as GUI. In addition, XML Island technology is applied to the bowser in a way that VoiceXML fragments are nested in HTML documents to accommodate the existing web environment. Also for better interactivity, dialogue scenarios for menu, bulletin, and search engine are suggested.

This study explored the lexical sophistication features to distinguish the group membership of English proficiency, using the automatic analysis program of lexical sophistication. A total of 600 essays written by 300 Korean college students were extracted from the ICNALE (International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English) corpus and a discriminant function analysis was performed using SPSS program. Results showed that the lexical features to distinguish three groups of English proficiency are SUBTLEXUS frequency content words, age of acquisition content words, lexical decision mean reaction time function words, and hypernymy verbs. High-level Korean students used frequent content words from SUBTLEXUS corpus to a lesser degree and produced more sophisticated words that can be learned at a later age and take longer reaction time in lexical decision task, and more concrete verbs.
