Conversational agent is a system that provides users with proper information and maintains the context of dialogue on the natural language. Analyzing and modeling process of user's query is essential to make it more realistic, for which Bayesian network is a promising technique. When experts design the network for a domain, the network is usually very complicated and is hard to be understood. The separation of variables in the domain reduces the size of networks and makes it easy to design the conversational agent. Composing Bayesian network as two stages, we aim to design conversational agent easily and analyze user's query in detail. Also, previous information of dialogue makes it possible to maintain the context of conversation. Actually implementing it for a guide of web pages, we can confirm the usefulness of the proposed architecture for conversational agent.

Many distributed applications build overlays on top of the Internet. Several unsolved issues at the network layer can explain this trend to implement network services such as multicast, mobility, and security at the application layer. On one hand, overlays creating basic topologies are usually limited in flexibility and scalability. On the other hand, overlays creating complex topologies require some form of application level addressing, routing, and naming mechanisms. Our aim is to design an efficient and robust addressing, routing, and naming infrastructure for these complex overlays. Our only assumption is that they are deployed over the Internet topology. Applications that use our middleware will be relieved from managing their own overlay topologies. Our infrastructure is based on the separation of the naming and the addressing planes and provides a convergence plane for the current heterogeneous Internet environment. To implement this property, we have designed a scalable distributed k-resilient name to address binding system. This paper describes the design of our overlay infrastructure and presents performance results concerning its routing scalability, its path inflation efficiency and its resilience to network dynamics.

Renewable energy sources based on solar radiation, wind energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy have now reached the level of industrial application. A new way to generate electricity using low-potential heat is to install a hydro-steam turbine. In hydro-steam turbines, hot water is supplied directly to turbine rotor nozzles without prior separation into steam and water in separators, which significantly increases the efficiency of hot water energy use. Such turbines are suggested to be used as autonomous energy sources in geothermal heating systems, heating water boilers and cooling systems of chemical reactors, metallurgical furnaces, etc. The authors conclude that the installation of hydro-steam turbines in heating plants and process boiler plants can also be effective if the used exhaust steam-water mixture at the turbine outlet is used to heat the network water or as return water.

Silicone was used in this study to enhance the oxygene permeability of gas separation membranes. PMP and PMMA were used to prepare the copolymers and IPN membranes, respectively. In the case of copolymers, there were two methodsCswelling and solvent evaporation) in this study and it was revealed that this preparation method affected the oxygene permeability. It was also shown that the IPN method brought the enhacement of oxygen permeability and slight decrease of separation factor. Regarding oxygen permeability 10 wt% of PMMA was the best composition of IPN membrane.

In this paper, a channel estimation based on the time-domain windowing and its imperfectness in OFDM-based multiple-antenna transmission systems are analyzed with an emphasis on a preamble design for multi-channel separation, From the computer simulation results, the OFDM-CDMA system applying a space-time-frequency diversity with a full-rate full diversity code can give the diversity of D = 4 and D = 8 for both multi-user cases of maximum user and half user capacities, respectively

It is often necessary to observe the working environment of a robot to control it efficiently in the remote location. The remote sensing data and control commands are transmitted via various media such as radio, microwave, and computer network. The World Wide Web can be used as the infrastructure for teleoperation of mobile robots. In this paper we propose an advanced technique of the remote control of mobile robots on the web. For the real-time control, the image separation algorithm is proposed to transmit the current positions of mobile robots instead of transmitting the full frame image. It is shown by experiments that the proposed algorithm is effective.

현재의 인터넷은 라우팅과 어드레싱에 대한 심각한 확장성 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 확장성의 가장 큰 원인은 멀티호밍, 트래픽 엔지니어링, 집적되지 못하는 주소 할당 등이며, 이로 인하여 백본 지역의 라우팅 테이블 크기가 기하급수적으로 증가하는 현상을 보이고 있다. 또한 현재의 IP 주소는 호스트의 식별자와 위치자의 의미를 함께 사용하기 때문에 호스트의 이동성 및 멀티호밍을 지원하는 데 한계점이 있다. 이러한 현재 인터넷의 문제점 해결 방안으로 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조가 연구되고 있다. 본고에서는 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조에서 필수적으로 요구되는 식별자와 위치자 간의 매핑 시스템에 관한 연구들을 소개하고 각각의 장단점을 분석한다. 본고에서는 현재 인터넷 기반의 대표적 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조 중 IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force)에서 잘 알려진 LISP(Locator Identifier Separation Protocol), HIP(Host Identity Protocol), ILNP(Identifier Locator Network Protocol)에서 제안하는 매핑 시스템들과 미래인터넷 기반의 대표적 식별자와 위치자 분리 구조 중 미국의 MobilityFirst와 한국의 MOFI(Mobile-Oriented Future Internet)에서 제안하는 매핑 시스템들을 중점적으로 소개한다.

Polyolefin block copolymer has been taking a great deal of attention due to their great potential in polymer industry since a new metallocene catalytic method for producing polyolefin block copolymer was developed by Dow Chemicals. However, so far, there was no systematic study of olefin block copolymer. In this review, Linear polyolefin block copolymers, containing semicrystalline poly (ethylene) (E) blocks and a rubbery block as a thermoplastic elastomer, were investigated in the viewpoint of microphase separation mode, microstructure, deformation behavior, and molecular architecture.

Carbon-silica membranes were Prepared by Pyrolyzing polyimide/silica composite obtained from ill-situ polymerization of alkoxy silanes via sol-gel reaction. In this study, effects of silica content and silica network in polyimide matrix were focused on the gas permeation and separation properties of the final carbon-silica membrane. The membranes prepared were characterized with a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), a solid state $^{29}$ Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^{29}$ Si-NMR), an electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and gas permeation tests.

In recent years, due to the demand for operating efficiency and cost reduction of industrial facilities, remote access via the Internet is expanding. the control network accelerates from network separation to network connection due to the development of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) technology. Transition of control network is a new opportunity, but concerns about cybersecurity are also growing. Therefore, manufacturers must reflect security compliance and standards in consideration of the Internet connection environment, and enterprises must newly recognize the connection area of the control network as a security management target. In this study, the core target of the control system security threat is defined as the network boundary, and issues regarding the security architecture configuration for the boundary and the role & responsibility of the working organization are covered. Enterprises do not integrate the design organization with the operation organization after go-live, and are not consistently reflecting security considerations from design to operation. At this point, the expansion of the control network is a big transition that calls for the establishment of a responsible organization and reinforcement of the role of the network boundary area where there is a concern about lack of management. Thus, through the organization of the facility network and the analysis of the roles between each organization, an static perspective and difference in perception were derived. In addition, standards and guidelines required for reinforcing network boundary security were studied to address essential operational standards that required the Internet connection of the control network. This study will help establish a network boundary management system that should be considered at the enterprise level in the future.
