수십 억년 동안 진화를 거듭해온 지구상의 생명체들은 외부의 제어 없이 독자적으로 단순한 행동 규칙에 따라 기능을 수행하여 주어진 목적의 최적해를 달성한다. 이러한 다양한 생명체의 행동 원리를 모델링하여 만든 알고리즘을 생체모방 알고리즘(Bio-Inspired Algorithm)이라 한다. 생체모방 알고리즘은 다수의 개체가 존재하며, 주변 환경이 동적으로 변하고, 가용 자원의 제약이 주어지며, 이질적인 특성을 갖는 개체들이 분잔 및 자율적으로 움직이는 환경에서 안정성, 확장성, 적응성과 같은 특징을 보여주는데, 이는 통신 네트워크 환경 및 서비스 요구사항과 유사성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 생체모방 알고리즘으로 통신 및 네트워킹 기술로 사용되는 Ant Colony 알고리즘, Bee 알고리즘, Firefly 알고리즘, Flocking 알고리즘에 대해 살펴보고, 관련 프로젝트 및 연구 동향을 정리한다. 이를 통해 현재의 생체모방 알고리즘의 한계를 극복하고 미래 통신 및 네트워킹 기술이 나아갈 방향을 제시한다.

잠자리, 벌 등 곤충과 새우, 가재 등 갑각류를 포함하는 절지동물류에서 발견되는 겹눈(compound eye)구조는 볼록한 형태이기 때문에 일반 단일렌즈(single lens)형 눈에 비해 매우 넓은 시야각을 가지며, 깊은 심도를 갖는 특징이 있다. 기존 카메라가 갖기 어려운 겹눈의 독특한 장점으로 인해, 곤충의 눈을 모방하는 연구는 많은 사람들의 주목을 받고 있다. 겹눈구조는 일반적으로 수백에서 수만개의 홑눈(ommatidium)이 모여 다발을 이루고 있으며, 각 홑눈은 겉에서부터 마이크로렌즈 형태의 각막, 수정추, 감간(rhabdom)형태로 이루어져 있다. 따라서 이러한 겹눈구조를 모방하기 위해서는 인공홑눈을 제작하고 이를 반구형으로 배열하는 것이 필수적이다. 그러나 실리콘 반도체를 기반으로 하는 이미지 센서는 딱딱하고 편평하여 굴곡진 형태로 배열이 어렵기 때문에 곤충눈을 모방한 형태의 구조물은 몇몇 연구그룹에서 개발된 사례가 있으나, 이미징이 가능한 곤충눈 시스템의 개발은 보고된 바가 없었다. 본 발표에서는 최근에 연구가 진행되고 있는 플렉서블 전자소자에 기반한 곤충눈을 모방한 이미징 시스템에 대해서 다루고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the degree of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction. In addition the present study aims to investigate the moderating role of the self esteem and public self in the relationship between mimetic purchase and product satisfaction. Taken together, hypothesis 1 is as in the following. H1 : As the degree of mimetic purchase increases, product satisfaction will increase. To reveal the moderating role of the self esteem and public self in this path, 2 research hypotheses are derived as follows: H2 : The effect of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction is moderated by self esteem. H3 : The effect of mimetic purchase on product satisfaction is moderated by public self. Results from an empirical study showed that as the degree of mimetic purchase increases, product satisfaction increase. Thus, H1 is fully supported. And the results showed that the first interaction effect(H2) between the mimetic purchase and the self esteem is significant. Thus, H2 is also supported. But the second interaction effect(H3) has been shown to be not significant.

Should a startup file for a patent subject to imitation in its quest to attract venture capital(VC) investors? Considering the US pharmaceutical biotechnology industry context, this paper attempts to answer this question by investigating the relations between the number of applied patents of startups, patent imitability, and the total amount of money the startups received as their first VC funding round. Data of 157 US-based pharmaceutical biotechnology startups founded in between 1995 and 2005 are analyzed. Empirical results from this study show that the number of applied patents is positively related to the total amount of money received at the time of the first funding round, and patent imitability is negatively related to the total amount of money received as first VC funding round. Nonetheless, the interaction term between the number of applied patents of startups and patent imitability came out as positive, raising interesting questions and implications for innovation-oriented startup entrepreneurs. The current study's empirical findings suggest that, in the pharmaceutical biotechnology sector, VC investors pay attention to the quantity and quality of the patents possessed by startups when they decide the level of funding. In particular, imitability of applied patents may not be a one-sided concept related to negative features such as the weak protectability of an invention. Rather, patent imitability may be a multi-facet element which also contains positive attractiveness of the startup's invention. Furthermore, it seems that the positive side of imitability can be augmented by the number of applied patents.

This paper proposes a dolphin whistle mimicking underwater communication method using FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and method to improve BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by using multipath gain combining. The proposed method divides whistle sound into short time intervals and transmits FSK modulated signal that ensures orthogonality of the symbol. Multipath gain can be obtained by using characteristic of mimicked signal frequency that varies with time. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulations and lake experiments were conducted. Computer simulation results show that an additional multipath gain is obtained by multipath. From lake experiments, when symbol length is 20 msec and modulation band is 900 Hz, the proposed FSK method with multipath combining gain obtains BER of 0.002, which is better than CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) with BER of 0.185. he proposed based on FSK method has higher imitation degree than the CSS method by analyzing mean cross-correlation value in the time - frequency domain of the imitated signal and actual whistle signal.

Covert Underwater Communication (CUC) signals should not be detected by other unintended users. Similar to the method used in Radio Frequency (RF), covert communication technique sending information underwater is designed in consideration of the characteristics of Low Probability of Detection (LPD) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI). These conventional methods, however, are difficult to be used in the underwater communications because of the narrow frequency bandwidth. Unlike the conventional methods of reducing transmission power or increasing the modulation bandwidth, a method of mimicking the acoustic signal of an underwater mammal is being studied. The biomimetic underwater acoustic communication mainly mimics the click or whistle sound produced by dolphin or whale. This paper investigates biomimetic communication method and introduces research trends to understand the potential for the development of such biomimetic covert underwater acoustic communication and future research areas.

This paper examines the effect of star-entertainer imitation on female high school students in terms of their appearance management activities such as school uniform modification behaviors, hair style care behaviors, and make-up behaviors. For this research, data of 379 female high school students living in Jeollabuk-do was analyzed through reliability analysis, factorial analysis, cluster analysis, one-way analysis of variance, and cross-tabulation analysis. In the research, based on the type of star-entertainer imitation, the female high school students were divided into three categories: active followers, psychological followers, and passive followers. The research showed that active followers, who exhibited imitation behavior most frequently and had the highest imitation desire, were most frequently involved in school uniform modification. Inclined to imitate the school uniform styles of star-entertainers in soap operas, they modified their school uniforms. The active followers were also enthusiastic about hair care, were well aware of trendy hair styles, and demonstrated a fondness for star-entertainer hair styles. In addition, they were actively involved in make-up activities. They put on basic make-up everyday and exhibited a desire to learn about make-up styles. However, passive followers, who showed the least frequent imitation behavior and the lowest imitation desire, were not as keenly involved in school uniform modification behaviors, hair style care behaviors, or make-up behaviors. The study concludes that by providing teenagers with systematic education on desirable mass media and educating them on proper behavior, an effective educational tool for guidance on clothing habits can be derived.
