Distance learning universities provide online course content. The main methods of providing class contents are on-demand and live-streaming. This means that students are not restricted by time or space. The advantage is that students can take the course anytime and anywhere. Therefore, unlike commuting students, there is no commuting time to the campus, and there is no natural process required to take classes. However, despite this convenient situation, the attendance rate and graduation rate of distance learning universities tend to be lower than that of commuting universities. Although the course environment is not the only factor, students cannot obtain a bachelor's degree unless they fulfill the graduation requirements. In both commuter and distance learning universities, taking classes is an important factor in earning credits. There are fewer time and space constraints for distance learning students than for commuting students. It is also easy for distance learning students to take classes at their own timing. There should be more ease of learning than for students who commute to school with restrictions. However, it is easier to take a course at a commuter university that conducts face-to-face classes. I thought that the reason for this was that commuting to school was a part of the process of taking classes for commuting students. Commuting to school was thought to increase the willingness and motivation to take classes. Therefore, I thought that the inconvenient constraints might encourage students to take the course. In this research, I focused on the act of commuting to school by students. These situations are also applied to the distance learning environment. The students have physical time constraints. To achieve this goal, I will implement a course restriction method that aims to promote the willingness and attitude of students. Therefore, in this paper, I have implemented a virtual school system called "virtual go to school (VG2S)" that reflects the actual route to school.

애자일 방법론은 인공지능 소프트웨어를 포함한 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트에서 지난 몇 년 동안 널리 사용되고 있다. 이처럼 산업에서 애자일 방법론이 많이 사용되고 있음에도 불구하고, 애자일 방법론을 사용하는 소프트웨어 프로젝트의 성공 요인을 분석한 실증적 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 애자일 방법론을 사용하는 소프트웨어 프로젝트에서 고객의 역할을 이해하기 위해 사용자 참여 부족, 비현실적인 고객 기대치, 지속적인 요구 사항 변경의 고객 측 요인들이 프로젝트 성공에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 분석 대상은 애자일 방법을 소프트웨어 개발 방법론으로 사용하는 프로젝트이다. 일반적으로 소프트웨어 개발에서의 주 목표는 적은 시간과 비용으로 고품질 소프트웨어를 개발하는 것이다. 과거에는 프로젝트의 초기 단계에서 정한 고객 요구사항의 변화를 최소화하여, 그 변화에 수반되는 비용을 줄이려고 했다면, 오늘날의 프로젝트 관리에서 고객 요구사항의 변화는 고객이 원하는 시스템 개발을 위해 필수적인 것이라 인정하고 이 불가피한 변화에 보다 잘 대응하는 것이 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 효과적인 방법론으로 애자일 방법론이 많이 사용되고 있고, 본 연구에서는 이 애자일 방법론을 사용하는 프로젝트의 성공요인을 찾아내고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 설문 방법이 이용되었다. 소셜 네트워크 사이트인 링크드인(LinkedIn)을 이용하여 소프트웨어 프로젝트 참여 경험이 있는 개발자들을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 하였고, 분석에 사용한 데이터는 213개의 응답 데이터이다. 이 설문 응답 데이터를 Ordered Logit Regression을 이용하여 세 가지 가설을 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 위 세 가지 클라이언트 측 요인들 모두가 애자일 방법을 사용하는 프로젝트의 성공에 크게 영향을 미친다는 사실을 실증적으로 찾아내었다. 첫째, 애자일 방법을 이용하기 위해서는 고객의 프로젝트 참여가 필수적이다. 이 결과는 애자일 방법론의 이론적 효과와 일치한다. 사용자와의 협업이 애자일 방법론에서 가장 중요한 요소 중에 하나인 만큼 고객의 참여는 매우 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 애자일 방법이 사용된 프로젝트에서는 고객의 요구 사항을 지속적으로 변경하는 것이 부정적인 요인이 아니라 프로젝트 성공의 긍정적인 요인이라는 흥미로운 결과를 얻었다. 고객의 요구 사항을 지속적으로 변경하는 것은 클라이언트와 공급 업체 간의 빈번한 상호 작용이나 의사 소통을 통해 사용자가 진정으로 원하는 시스템을 만드는데 도움이 되어 긍정적인 요인이 된다는 설명이 가능하다. 셋째, 비현실적인 고객의 기대는 애자일 방법이 사용된 프로젝트에서도 프로젝트 성공에 부정적인 영향을 준다는 결과를 얻었다.

소프트웨어의 사용성은 소프트웨어 제품 평가시, 사용하기 쉬운 정도, 효율성의 정도, 만족도의 정도 등으로 판단되는 소프트웨어의 특성이다. 이러한 사용성은 소프트웨어 제품의 품질을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 소프트웨어 제품들은 그 자체의 사용성에 대해 평가를 받고 개선지침을 추출하여 이를 기반으로 지속적인 개선이 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 제품마다 사용성 요소들의 중요도가 다르고, 같은 요소에 대해서도 사용자들은 서로 다른 환경과 지식으로 인해 엇갈린 평가를 내릴 수 있으므로 사용성 평가는 제품의 적합성을 판단하고 개선방향을 얻기 위해 다양한 요소들을 고려하여 개발되는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 기존의 만족도 평가와 수행도 평가는 문제점의 원인 발견 평가결과를 수정에 반영하기 힘들고, 모든 영역에 적용되도록 만들어진, 획일화된 평가항목과 내용으로는 평가 대상 제품의 특징을 반영하기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대상 제품의 평가 항목별로 사용자의 정신모형과 감성을 평가하는 모델을 개발하였다. 설계자들의 개념 모형과 사용자의 정신 모형의 일치여부를 평가하여 그 결과를 바탕으로 개선 지침을 제공할 수 있는 평가방법과 시스템에 대한 만족도를 높이고 보다 효과적으로 작업할 수 있도록 하기 위해 사용시의 감성과 이에 영향을 미치는 시스템의 구성요소들을 분석하여 평가하고 개선 지침을 추출하는 감성요소론 기반으로 하는 평가방법을 합하여 개발한 평가 모델을 제안한다. 그리고 이 평가 모델에 대한 사례연구로 GUI 프레임워크를 사례로 채택해서 평가하고 개선 방향을 추출하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 평가 모델은 제품 사용자의 작업분석을 기반으로 추출된 작업항목에 대한 평가요소를 가지고 평가를 수행함으로서, 제품의 특성을 반영할 뿐만 아니라, 수정되어야 할 항목을 정확히 나타내 줌으로서 효과적인 사용성 평가를 가능하게 할 것이다.

The research conducted here focuses on the effect of factors that affect the behavior of UCC (User Created Content) website users, other than user's rational recognition of how useful a UCC website can be. Most discussions in the existing literature on information systems have focused on users' evaluation how a UCC website can help to attain the users' own goals. However, there are other factors and this research pays attention to an individual's 'personality,' which is stable and biological in nature. Specifically, I have noted here that 'extroversion' and 'neuroticism,' the two common personality factors presented in Eysenck's most representative 'EPQ Model' and 'Big Five Model,' are the two personality factors that affect a site's 'usefulness,' by this I mean how useful does the user consider the website and its content. How useful a site is considered by the user is the other factor that has been regarded as the antecedent factor that influences the adoption of information systems in the existing MIS (Management Information System) research. Secondly, as using or creating a UCC website does not guarantee the user's or the creator's extrinsic motivation, unlike when using the information system within an organization, there is a greater likelihood that the increase in user's activities in relation to a UCC website is motivated by emotional factors rather than rational factors. Thus, I have decided to include the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable in the research model. Thirdly, when based on the S-O-R Paradigm of Mehrabian and Russell, the two cognitive factors and emotional factors are finally affected by stimulus, and thus these factors ultimately have an effect on an individual's respondent behavior. Therefore, this research has presented an assumption that the recognition of how useful the site and content is and what emotional pleasure it provides will finally affect the behavior of the UCC website users. Finally, the relationship between the recognition of how useful a site is and how pleasurable it is to useand UCC usage may differ depending on certain situational conditions. In other words, the relationship between the three factors may vary according to how much users are involved in the creation of the website content. Creation thus emerges as the keyword of UCC. I analyzed the above relationships through the moderating variable of the user's involvement in the creation of the site. The research result shows the following: When it comes to the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable it is extroverted users who have a greater likelihood to feel pleasure when using a UCC website, as was expected in this research. This in turn leads to a more active usage of the UCC web site because a person who is an extrovert likes to spend time on activities with other people, is sensitive to new experiences and stimuli and thus actively responds to these. An extroverted person accepts new UCC activities as part of his/her social life, rather than getting away from this new UCC environment. This is represented by the term 'Foxonomy' where the users meet a variety of users from all over the world and contact new types of content created by these users. However, neuroticism creates the opposite situation to that created by extroversion. The representative symptoms of neuroticism are instability, stress, and tension. These dispositions are more closely related to stress caused by a new environment rather than this creatingcuriosity or pleasure. Thus, neurotic persons have an uneasy feeling and will eventually avoid the situation where their own or others' daily lives are frequently exposed to the open web environment, this eventually makes them have a negative attitude towards the web environment. When it comes to an individual's personality and how useful site is, the two personality factors of extroversion and neuroticism both have a positive relationship with the recognition of how useful the site and its content is. The positive, curious, and social dispositions of extroverted persons tend to make them consider the future usefulness and possibilities of a new type of information system, or website, based on their positive attitude, which has a significant influence on the recognition of how useful these UCC sites are. Neuroticism also favorably affects how useful a UCC website can be through a different mechanism from that of extroversion. As the neurotic persons tend to feel uneasy and have much doubt about a new type of information system, they actively explore its usefulness in order to relieve their uncomfortable feelings. In other words, neurotic persons seek out how useful a site can be in order to secure their own stable feelings. Meanwhile, extroverted persons explore how useful a site can be because of their positive attitude and curiosity. As a lot of MIS research has revealed that the recognition of how useful a site can be and how pleasurable it can be to use have been proven to have a significant effect on UCC activity. However, the relationship between these factors reveals different aspects based on the user's involvement in creation. This factor of creationgauges the interest of users in the creation of UCC contents. Involvement is a variable that shows the level of an individual's mental effort in creating UCC contents. When a user is highly involved in the creation process and makes an enormous effort to create UCC content (classed a part of a high-involvement group), their own pleasure and recognition of how useful the site is have a significantly higher effect on the future usage of the UCC contents, more significantly than the users who sit back and just retrieve the UCC content created by others. The cognitive and emotional response of those in the low-involvement group is unlikely to last long,even if they recognize the contents of a UCC website is pleasurable and useful to them. However, the high-involvement group tends to participate in the creation and the usage of UCC more favorably, connecting the experience with their own goals. In this respect, this research presents an answer to the question; why so many people are participating in the usage of UCC, the representative form of the Web 2.0 that has drastically involved more and more people in the creation of UCC, even if they cannot gain any monetary or social compensation. Neither information system nor a website can succeed unless it secures a certain level of user base. Moreover, it cannot be further developed when the reasons, or problems, for people's participation are not suitably explored, even if it has a certain user base. Thus, what is significant in this research is that it has studied users' respondent behavior based on an individual's innate personality, emotion, and cognitive interaction, unlike the existing research that has focused on 'compensation' to explain users' participation with the UCC website. There are also limitations in this research. Firstly, I divided an individual's personality into extroversion and neuroticism; however, there are many other personal factors such as neuro-psychiatricism, which also needs to be analyzed for its influence on UCC activities. Secondly, as a UCC website comes in many types such as multimedia, Wikis, and podcasting, these types need to be included as a sub-category of the UCC websites and their relationship with personality, emotion, cognition, and behavior also needs to be analyzed.

Given that smartphone-based social network services (SNS), such as KakaoStory is now being widely used as a way for people to connect and communicate with each other, this study examines key factors leading to the continued use of SNS. People have been using PC-based SNS, such as Cyworld, for years are now using smartphone-based SNS, such as KakaoStory. KakaoStory developed by KakaoTalk has rapidly grown up as the largest smartphone-based SNS in Korea as smartphone penetration increases. It is more difficult for firms to maintain their current users over time in that alternative SNSs satisfying people's new needs are constantly emerging and evolving. In this sense, one of the most challenging issues for SNS firms is how to retain their current users in the long run. However, there are few empirical studies on this issue. Applying the IS continuance model proposed by Bhattacherjee [2001], this study explores key determinants of users' smartphone-based SNS continuance intention. The model suggests that perceived usefulness and user satisfaction are the key determinants of IS continuance intention. However, the model includes only the utilitarian value that users can obtain through the use of smartphone-based SNS, by considering perceived usefulness. Therefore, the study attempts to extend the IS continuance model by considering hedonic and social values simultaneously. More specifically, we consider subjective norms as social value that are proposed by the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior. We also consider perceived enjoyment as hedonic value that is emphasized as a key factor influencing users' behavior intention and actual behavior, particularly in the context of hedonic IS use. By considering the three values in our model simultaneously, we could offer a deeper understanding of smartphone-based SNS continuance. That is, this study could offer an explanation of how each value is associated with user satisfaction and SNS continuance intention. The customer value-satisfaction-loyalty model can strengthen the assertion that smartphone-based SNS continuance intention is determined by various different types of customer values, such as utilitarian, hedonic, and social ones. Moreover, the model provides a theoretical basis for the assertion that customer values lead to increased loyalty via customer satisfaction. In this regard, we theorize that SNS continuance intention is influenced by users' various values, namely perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and subjective norms, via user satisfaction. To test the proposed research model and hypotheses, we conducted a partial least squares analysis using a total of 253 data collected on the users of smartphone-based SNS (i.e., KakaoStory). The key findings are as follows: First, it has been found that SNS continuance intention considerably depends on user satisfaction. Second, user satisfaction is determined by confirmation, perceived usefulness, and perceived enjoyment. Third, concerning the effects of the three values on SNS continuance intention, only perceived enjoyment regarded as hedonic value was statistically significant. That is, perceived usefulness considered as utilitarian value and subjective norms considered as social value had no effect on SNS continuance intention. Finally, our results indicate that confirmation increases perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and user satisfaction. The results reconfirm the effectiveness of IS continuance model in predicting smartphone-based SNS continuance intention. Moreover, the results demonstrate that perceived enjoyment reflecting hedonic value is the most important predictor of SNS continuance intention. Therefore, it is imperative for firms to meet SNS users' hedonic value to retain them in the long run. Meanwhile, we could not find any empirical evidence to support the assertion that subjective norms are associated with user satisfaction and SNS continuance intention. The results lead us to conclude that when users have enough direct experience in SNS use, subjective norms have no effect on SNS continuance intention. Discussions and implications of the results are provided.

The aim is to urge the need of elaborate commissioning of 3D RTP system from the firsthand experience. A 3D RTP system requires so much data such as beam data and patient data. Most data of radiation beam are directly transferred from a 3D dose scanning system, and some other data are input by editing. In the process inputting parameters and/or data, no error should occur. For RTP system using algorithm-bas ed-on beam-modeling, careless beam-data processing could also cause the treatment error. Beam data of 3 different qualities of photon from two linear accelerators, patient data and calculated results were commissioned. For PDD, the doses by Clarkson, convolution, superposition and fast superposition methods at 10 cm for 10${\times}$10 cm field, 100 cm SSD were compared with the measured. An error in the SCD for one quality was input by the service engineer. Whole SCD defined by a physicist is SAD plus d$\sub$max/, the value was just SAD. That resulted in increase of MU by 100${\times}$((1_d$\sub$max//SAD)$^2$-1)%. For 10${\times}$10 cm open field, 1 m SSD and at 10 cm depth in uniform medium of relative electron density (RED) 1, PDDs for 4 algorithms of dose calculation, Clarkson, convolution, superposition and fast-superposition, were compared with the measured. The calculated PDD were similar to the measured. For 10${\times}$10 cm open field, 1 m SSD and at 10 cm depth with 5 cm thick inhomogeneity of RED 0.2 under 2 cm thick RED 1 medium, PDDs for 4 algorithms were compared. PDDs ranged from 72.2% to 77.0% for 4 MV X-ray and from 90.9% to 95.6% for 6 MV X-ray. PDDs were of maximum for convolution and of minimum for superposition. For 15${\times}$15 cm symmetric wedged field, wedge factor was not constant for calculation mode, even though same geometry. The reason is that their wedge factor is considering beam hardness and ray path. Their definition requires their users to change the concept of wedge factor. RTP user should elaborately review beam data and calculation algorithm in commissioning.

The tourism industry is now changing to smart tourism, which maximizes tourists' overall tourism experience with the use of advanced mobile technologies and emphasizes the utilization of tourism information. Despite the quantitative expansion of the tourism industry, there is a lack of academic and practical discussion on tourism safety. Especially, in the context of walking tourism, tourists are more likely to be exposed to natural or social disasters and emergencies. Therefore, it is necessary to build a system that can provide walking tourists with safety information not only on dangerous factors which are anticipated to be confronted during a walking trip in advance but also on specific dangers in real time. Under the circumstances, this study seeks to identify the types of tourism safety information that can be offered by using publicly available open data, drawing on the safety information framework on the walking tourism that is presented in Choi et al. (2017)'s study. More specifically, this study focuses on the use of open data which is provided by the Korean government. Furthermore, this study verifies the types of safety information that are most urgently needed in walking travel situations. Specifically, this study aims to derive the importance and priority of each type of safety information for a walking trip by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis. For this, we collected 35 questionnaires from walking tour operators (practitioners) and walking tourists. The main results are as follows. First, natural disaster information is the most important factor in the top-level factor of safety information for walking tourists, followed by social disaster, life safety, and exhibition (security crisis) information. Second, information on natural disasters, environmental pollution, and weather is considered to be important at the sub-level factor. Lastly, the noteworthy result of this study is that the importance of each type of safety information varies depending on the walking tour operators (practitioners) and the walking tourists. That is, there is a recognition difference between the operator (practitioner) and the user in the importance and priority of the safety information of the walking trip. Therefore, it is necessary to develop policies and services reflecting the opinions of potential users when providing safety information so that the most importantly recognized information can be provided first.

본 연구는 인터뷰 자료를 분석하는 질적 방법을 통하여 창조계급을 이루는 UCC 이용자의 이용 동기를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 동영상 UCC 이용자는 심심풀이 이용자와 능동적 조회자 그리고 창조자로 구분되었다. 연구의 결과 UCC 이용자들의 동기요인으로 일상생활에 도움이 되는 정보공유, 보여주고 싶다라는 자기 표현감, 다른 사람과의 소통 욕구, UCC가 자기표현을 쉽게 하도록 도와주는 용이성, 유용성이 능동적 조회자와 창조자들에게서 발견되었다. 기술적 용이성은 창조자의 경우에만 동기요인이 되고 있다. 즐거움은 단순조회, 심심풀이, 창조자를 막론하고 중요한 UCC 이용 요인으로 나타났다. 조회자 중에도 시간가는 줄 모르고 빠져드는 경험을 하거나 자신의 목적과 흥미에 따라 UCC 종목을 선택하기도 하는 경우가 드러났다. 그러나 즐거움이나 흥미의 내용은 창조자의 경우 창조의 기쁨, 플로우라는 특수한 즐거움으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 이제까지 기술수용모형 (TAM)이나 감정모형 (PAD) 등을 이용한 UCC 이용자 연구의 결과를 보완하고 기존 연구에서 깊이 다루어지지 않은 창조의 기쁨, 플로우가 콘텐츠 창조자의 중요한 추동 요인이 된다는 점이 부각되었다.
