This research is to offer a structured yet practical ex-ante evaluation methodology for IT investment. Benchmarking the best practices of four Korean organizations, we try to integrate core processes, relevant measures, and evaluation dimensions into a consistent and wholesome body of evaluating methodology. The best practices we considered encompass a wide range of business enterprises, including for-profit, non-profit, service-oriented, and manufacturing entities. The proposed methodology consists of three stages; the first stage checks the validity of investments by looking into comprehensiveness of planning, willingness to accomplish, justifiable grounds for the investments, overlapping investments, and obstructing risks; the second do so by putting an IT investment into economic, strategic, and technological perspectives; and the last third would produce a unified quantity that summarizes outcome of the previous stages. Incorporating the proven knowledge, guidelines, and quantifying tools, the methodology could make a valuable reference model for IT evaluation practitioners who have been bedeviled by having to going through such ex-ante evaluations.

This study is to investigate the perception of domestic appraisers about the possibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) and related risks from the use of AI in the appraisal industry. We conducted a mobile survey of evaluators from February 10 to 18, 2022. We collected survey data from 193 respondents. Frequency analysis and multiple response analysis were performed for basic analysis. When AI is used in the appraisal industry, factor analysis was used to analyze various types of risks. Although appraisers have a positive perception of AI introduction in the appraisal industry, they considered collateral, consulting, and taxation, mainly in areas where AI is likely to be used and replaced, mainly negative effects related to job losses and job replacement. They were more aware of the alternative risks caused by AI in the field of human labor. I was very aware of responsibilities, privacy and security, and the risk of technical errors. However, fairness, transparency, and reliability risks were generally perceived as low risk issues. Existing studies have mainly studied analysis methods that apply AI to mass evaluation models, but this study focused on the use and risk of AI. Understanding industry experts' perceptions of AI utilization will help minimize potential risks when AI is introduced on a large scale.

As the incidence and mortality of serious disasters in the construction industry are the highest, various efforts are being made in Korea to reduce them. Among them, risk assessment is used as data for disaster reduction measures and evaluation of risk factors at the construction stage. However, the existing risk assessment involves the subjectivity of the performer and is vulnerable to the domestic construction site. This study established a DB classification system for risk assessment with the aim of early identification and pre-removal of risks by quantitatively deriving risk factors using BIM in the risk assessment field and presents a methodology for risk assessment using BIM. Through this, prior removal of risks increases the safety of construction workers and reduces additional costs in the field of safety management. In addition, since it can be applied to new construction methods, it improves the understanding of project participants and becomes a tool for communication. This study proposes a framework for deriving quantitative risks based on BIM, and will be used as a base technology in the field of risk assessment using BIM in the future.

현재 구축되어있는 방재시설의 능력은 기후위기로 인해 수용가능한 극한강우량의 범위를 넘어서고 있어 대형화된 홍수로 인한 피해가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 이로 인해 잠재적 홍수로 인한 도시회복도 관리와 홍수로 수반되는 피해에 대한 복구의 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 회복도는 도시의 재해 취약성, 저항, 적응, 복구, 완화에 대한 능력을 포괄하는 개념으로써 최근 주목받고 있는 개념이지만 대부분의 연구는 주로 시설에 대한 회복도 평가가 이루어지고 있다 (Sen et al.,2021). 또한 재해 후 도시복구에 관한 연구는 다수 존재하지만 복구에 따른 지역의 회복도 변화와 라이프라인과 같은 주요 시설의 복구에 따른 회복도 차이를 고려한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시침수 발생 후 라이프라인을 고려한 도시복구 우선순위 산정모델을 개발하고 재해관리의 효율성 향상측면에서 도시의 기능적 회복도를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 라이프라인 중 도로 복구결과의 평가를 위하여 리스크 매트릭스 기법을 이용한 도로위험도평가를 수행하였으며 도시의 회복도를 측정하였다. 회복도를 크게 홍수로부터 도시가 받은 영향과 재해복구역량으로 구성하였으며 정량적인 평가를 위해 각각 손상함수와 재해재난목적예비비를 활용하여 산정하였다. 이후 복구우선순위를 산정하였으며 복구와 도시회복도와의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 재해연보 자료를 기초로 회귀분석을 통해 복구비용을 추정하였다 (유순영 등.,2014). 시범지역에 적용한 결과 시설 및 도로 복구에 따른 도시영향의 변화보다 복구비사용으로 인한 재해복구역량의 변화가 더욱 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 재해재난목적예비비의 중요성이 크다는 것을 의미하며 향후 추가적인 인문학적, 법제적 요소가 회복도에 미치는 영향을 연구한다면 도시회복도 향상 및 도시복구에 관한 정책적 의사결정에 큰 도움이 될 것이다.

The current remodeling cost estimation process is not only dependent on the historical data of new building construction, but it also has a poor linkage with risk-based estimation approach. As such, there is a high risk of falling short of initial budget. To overcome this, a risk-based estimation approach is necessary by providing a probabilistic estimation in consideration of the potential risk factors in conducting the remodeling projects. In addition, the decision-making process should be linked with the risk-based estimation results in stead of intuitive and/or experience-based estimation. This study provides a probabilistic estimation process for residential remodeling projects by developing a detailed methodology in which a step-by-step approach can be achieved. The new proposed estimation approach can help in decision-making for remodeling projects in terms of whether to proceed or not, by effectively reflecting the potential risk factors in the early stage of the project. In addition, the study can enhance the reliability of the estimation results by developing a sustainable estimation process model where a risk-based evaluation can be accomplished by setting up the cost-risk relationship database structure.

투자안 가치평가 방법에는 화폐의 시간가치를 고려한 방법과 고려하지 않는 방법이 있다. 이중 가장 많이 쓰이고, 중요한 방법으로는 화폐의 시간 가치를 고려한 순현재가치법(NPV), 내부수익률법(IRR), 수익성지표법(Pl)등이 있다. 이중에서도 우리는 투자사업으로부터 사업의 최종년도까지 얻게 되는 순이익(수익-비용)의 흐름을 현재가치로 계산하는NPV 분석을 많이 실시하고 있다. 즉, 어떤 자산의 NPV가 0보다 크면 투자 시 기업가치의 순증가가 발생하므로 투자가치가 있는 것으로 평가하고 0보다 작으면 기업가치의 순감소가 발생하므로 투자가치가 없는 것으로 평가한다. 여기에서 많은 기업경영자 및 재무담당자들은 다음과 같은 의문을 갖고 NPV분석의 약점을 보안할 필요성을 제기하고 있다. “결과로부터 얻은 단일 값이 정말 신뢰할 만한 값인가?”, “만약 몇 가지의 리스크 요인이 우리의 사업모델에 영향을 미친다면 그 결과는 어떻게 달라질 것인가?”, “우리가 얻은 결과 값의 실현 가능성은 몇%이고 나머지 발생 가능한 값들의 분포는 어떻게 될 것인가?” 위 질문에 대한 답을 얻을 수 있다면 투자안에 대해 빠르고 올바른 의사결정을 내릴 수 있으며 실패의 위험을 줄일 수 있다 이런 분석을 가능하게 해 주는 것이 확률론적 분석이며, 즉 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 기법이다. 이미 많은 선진 기업에서 이 방법을 통하여 모든 의사결정에 중요한 참고 자료로 이용하고 있으며 본 논문은 몬테카를로 분석의 대표적인 소프트웨어인 Crystal Ball을 이용하여 그 활용 사례를 소개하고자 한다.

Since previous default forecasting models for the firms evaluate the probability of default based upon the accounting data from book values, they cannot reflect the changes in markets sensitively and they seem to lack theoretical background. The market-information based models, however, not only make use of market data for the default prediction, but also have strong theoretical background like Black-Scholes (1973) option theory. So, many firms recently use such market based model as KMV to forecast their default probabilities and to manage their credit risks. Korean firms also widely use the KMV model in which default point is defined by liquid debt plus 50% of fixed debt. Since the debt structures between Korean and American firms are significantly different, Korean firms should carefully use KMV model. In this study, we empirically investigate the importance of debt structure. In particular, we find the following facts: First, in Korea, fixed debts are more important than liquid debts in accurate prediction of default. Second, the percentage of fixed debt must be less than 20% when default point is calculated for Korean firms, which is different from the KMV. These facts give Korean firms some valuable implication about default forecasting and management of credit risk.

In line with the megatrend of 2050 carbon neutrality, the amount of critical minerals used in clean-energy technology is expected to increase fourfold and sixfold, respectively, according to the Paris Agreement-based scenario as well as the 2050 carbon-neutrality scenario. And, in the case of Korea, in terms of the battery supply chain used for secondary batteries, the midstream that manufactures battery materials and battery cell packs shows strength, but the upstream that provides and processes raw materials is experiencing difficulties. The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources has established a strategy to secure lithium, nickel, and cobalt and is conducting surveys to respond to the upstream risk of these types of battery raw materials. In the case of lithium, exploration has been carried out in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do since 2020, and by the end of 2021, the survey area was selected for precision exploration by synthesizing all exploration data and building a 3D model. Potential resources will be assessed in 2022. In the case of nickel, the prospective site will be selected by the end of 2022 through a preliminary survey targeting 10 nickel sulfide deposits that have been prospected in the past. In the case of cobalt, Boguk cobalt is known only in South Korea, but there is only a record that cobalt was produced as a minor constituent of hydrothermal deposit. According to the literature, a cobalt ore body was found in the contact area between serpentinite and granite, and a protocol for cobalt exploration in Korea will be established.

컴퓨터 기술의 발전에 따라 ML(Machine Learning) 및 AI(Artificial Intelligence)의 도입이 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 정보보호 분야에서도 활용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이러한 모델들은 black-box 특성을 가지고 있으므로 의사결정 과정을 이해하기 어렵다. 특히, 오탐지 리스크가 큰 정보보호 환경에서 이러한 문제점은 AI 기술을 널리 활용하는데 상당한 장애로 작용한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 XAI(eXplainable Artificial Intelligence) 방법론에 대한 연구가 주목받고 있다. XAI는 예측의 해석이 어려운 AI의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 등장한 방법으로 AI의 학습 과정을 투명하게 보여줄 수 있으며, 예측에 대한 신뢰성을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 XAI 기술의 개념 및 필요성, XAI 방법론의 정보보호 분야 적용 사례에 설명한다. 또한, XAI 평가 방법을 제시하며, XAI 방법론을 보안 시스템에 적용한 경우의 결과도 논의한다. XAI 기술은 AI 판단에 대한 사람 중심의 해석정보를 제공하여, 한정된 인력에 많은 분석데이터를 처리해야 하는 보안담당자들의 분석 및 의사결정 시간을 줄이는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The objective of this study is to develop a model which can predict the seismic performance of the slope relatively accurately and efficiently by using artificial neural network(ANN) technique. The quantification of such the seismic performance of the slope is not easy task due to the randomness and the uncertainty of the earthquake input and slope model. Under these circumstances, probabilistic seismic fragility analyses of slope have been carried out by several researchers, and a closed-form equation for slope seismic performance was proposed through a multiple linear regression analysis. However, a traditional statistical linear regression analysis has shown a limit that cannot accurately represent the nonlinearistic relationship between the slope of various conditions and seismic performance. In order to overcome these problems, in this study, we attempted to apply the ANN to generate prediction models of the seismic performance of the slope. The validity of the derived model was verified by comparing this with the conventional multi-linear and multi-nonlinear regression models. As a result, the models obtained through the ANN basically showed excellent performance in predicting the seismic performance of the slope, compared to the models obtained by the statistical regression analyses of the previous study.
