Facility Layout Planning is concerned with how to arrange facilities necessary for production in a given space. Its objective is often to minimize the total sum of all material flows multiplied by the distance among facilities. FLP belongs to NP complete problem; i.e., the number of possible layout solutions increases with the increase of the number of facilities. Thus, meta heuristics such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing have been investigated to solve the FLP problems. However, one of the biggest problems which lie in the existing meta heuristics including GA is hard to find an appropriate combinations of parameters which result in optimal solutions for the specific problem. The Ant System algorithm with elitist and ranking strategies is used to solve the FLP problem as an another good alternative. Experimental results show that the AS algorithm is able to produce the same level of solution quality with less sensitive parameters selection comparing to the ones obtained by applying other existing meta heuristic algorithms.

In this paper, we propose to investigate the existing EPL education related studies and to collect the total effect size for the improvement of high-level thinking through meta-analysis and to confirm the effect size according to various variables. So, we have objectively identified and generalized the practical effects of EPL education on the various elements of high-level thinking and high-level thinking. The results of the meta-analysis showed that 1) EPL is a teaching-learning tool that greatly improves students' high-level thinking. 2) Education based EPL has greatly contributed to the enhancement of creative thinking and logical thinking among high-level thinking. 3) Kodu, App Inventor, Scratch, and Dolittle was confirmed that the effect on the improvement of high-level thinking was great.

For effective management of statistical database, statistical summary information must be provided by accessing directly the precomputed summary data from summary database to store and manage meta database for supporting statistical analysis and providing users with statistical summary information. In order to support effectively the use of summary database, we do the design and implementation of meta database and manager having a hierarchical structure as a data dictionary/directory and operation method is presented.

This study was conducted to analyze the effects of parenting programs for children with disabilities through meta-regression analysis of experimental studies published in Korea. Twenty-two studies with a randomized or non-randomized control group prepost test design were included in the analysis. Parenting programs had a significant effect on parenting stress (ES= -1.08, p <.001, $I^2=67.4%$), parenting ecacy (ES=0.72, p <.001, $I^2=58.0%$) and self-esteem (ES=0.58, p =.016, $I^2=0$). The meta-regression analysis showed that research designs and therapy providers had different effects on dependent variables. Results support that parenting programs are helpful for parents of children with disabilities in reducing parenting stress and improving parenting efficacy, and self-esteem.

In this paper, we propose to investigate the existing SW education related studies and to collect the total effect size for the improvement of computational thinking(CT) through meta-analysis and to confirm the effect size according to various variables. So, we have objectively identified and generalized the practical effects of SW education on the various variable. The results of the meta-analysis showed that 1) the overall effect of SW educational activities on CT improvement was 'Hedges' g=0.643', so SW educational activity can get a CT improvement of about 24% over other educational activities. 2) EPL is a SW teaching-learning method that greatly improves students' CT. 3) Since SW education can be guaranteed to improve CT among elementary school students and university students, essential SW education for these should be further promoted. And it was found that SW education activity were more effective for CT improvement in small cities & rural areas than big cities, but the cause was not identified, so further study will be required.

본 논문에서는 5.1 채널 입체 음향 오디오 신호를 2채널의 헤드폰으로 재생하기 위해 사용하는 HRTF(Head-related transfer funcion) DB를 다룬다. 다양한 HRTF DB의 사례를 분석하고, 이를 통해서 더 나은 HRTF DB를 설계 한다. 기존의 HRTF DB에 Audio Meta data를 이용하여 파일의 정보를 저장하고, 이를 DB에 저장함으로써 Meta data를 비교 검색하고 저장함으로써 편의성을 높인다. 또한 기존의 HRTF DB들이 오래 되고 현재의 시스템에 맞지 않기 때문에 이를 현재의 시스템에 맞게 Converting하고 UI를 3D로 구현함으로써 UX를 높이고 직관성을 개선함으로써 사용자 접근성을 높인다. 이를 통해서 HRTF DB의 범용성을 개선하고 관련 연구에 효율적으로 사용할 수 있게 될 것이다.

This study aims to summarize the effects of Arduino-based educational programs through a meta-analysis. Eleven eligible primary studies were obtained through a systematic literature review and coded accordingly. The results are as follows: The meta-analysis revealed that the overall effect size for all the studies was 0.518. Analysis of the moderator variables indicated statistically significant differences between them. Regarding the learning domains, the results were ranked in descending order of the cognitive and affective domains. Within the cognitive domain, the effect sizes were ranked in descending order as follows: logical thinking, content knowledge, convergence competency, self-efficacy, computational thinking, and creative problem-solving skills. In terms of subject areas, the descending order of effect sizes was agriculture, STEAM, environmental science, practical arts, artificial intelligence, informatics, and computers. Regarding school level, the results were ranked in the following descending order: college, elementary school, middle school, and high school.

The present study was carried out to summarize the effect of green tea in the diabetic rats by meta-analysis related studies. The association measure to test effect of green tea was Hedges' standardized mean difference. In this particular fixed effect model, body weight was significantly increased. Also, blood glucose, triglycerides were significantly decreased. In this case of heterogeneous variable, random effect model was applied. In this model, body weight was significantly increased. Also, blood glucose was significantly decreased in green tea treated group. According to the Meta-regression analysis, duration of injection was not significant for variables.

In this paper, I will propose the Niche-Meta Genetic Algorithm that has a multi-mutation operator for design of fuzzy controller. The gene in the proposed algorithm is formed by several parameters that represent the crossover rate, mutation rate and input-output membership functions. The optimization of fuzzy membership function is performed with local search on sub-population and the optimal structure is constructed with global search on total-population. The multi-mutation is selected under basis of the result of local evolution. A simulation for 2 D.O.F wheeled-mobile robot is showed to prove the efficiency of the proposed algorithm

Emerging technologies, such as multimedia and mobile computing, require that middleware platforms can support high adaptability in order to provide more flexible services in heterogeneous environments. To support high quality of service in distributed wired/wireless environments, it will be necessary for applications and middleware to be aware of changes in users requirements as well as environmental conditions, also to be able to adapt their behaviour as such changes. According to the needs of adaptability supporting in middleware, we structure a component-based, mobile agents framework in base level and meta level by using reflection. We propose concepts of meta agents and meta-service agents that are able to reflect changes made by mobile agents to the system. At the meta level of our framework, meta agents monitor execution of mobile agents and it is possible to provide dynamic adaptation of users requirements, deployment of application services and service customization with meta agents and meta-service agents.
