Recently, water supply management technology is highly developed, and a computer simulation model plays a critical role for estimating hydraulics and water quality in water distribution networks (WDNs). However, a simulation of complex large water networks is computationally intensive, especially for the water quality simulations, which require a short simulation time step and a long simulation time period. Thus, it is often prohibitive to analyze the water quality in real-scale water networks. In this study, in order to improve the computational efficiency of water quality simulations in complex water networks, a hierarchical water-quality-simulation technique was proposed. The water network is hierarchically divided into two sub-networks for improvement of computing efficiency while preserving water quality simulation accuracy. The proposed approach was applied to a large-scale real-life water network that is currently operating in South Korea, and demonstrated a spatiotemporal distribution of chlorine concentration under diverse chlorine injection scenarios.

공간적으로 다양하게 재구성되며 이동하는 분산/이동/실시간 시스템을 명세 및 분석하기 위한 기존의 프로세스 대수들은 명세/분석 과정에서 텍스트 기반의 명세 언어를 사용한다. 이로 인하여 프로세스 사이의 이동성과 프로세스들의 공간적 분포를 대한 명세 및 분석 방법은 매우 큰 복잡도가 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 일반 프로세스 대수를 시각적인 형태로 표현하는 다양한 기법들이 제안되었다. 이러한 시각화 언어들은 시스템의 특정 상태를 명세하거나, 시스템의 속성을 공간적 분포와 링크정보로 분리하는 방법들이 사용되었지만, 명세하고자 하는 시스템의 전체 행위에 대한 효율적인 명세 방법이 존재하지 않고, 시각화 언어임에도 불구하고 텍스트기반의 프로세스 대수와 병행되어 사용되어야만 하는 제약들이 존재한다. 이러한 제약들을 극복하기 위한 하나의 방법으로 본 논문에서는 프로세스 대수를 위한 새로운 시각화 언어인 Onion Visual Language를 제안한다. Onion Visual Language는 프로세스 사이에서 발생하는 이동과 상호작용 등의 전체 행위를 원형의 양파껍질과 같은 형태로 표현하며, 각 프로세스들 사이에서 발생하는 행위들의 관계를 액션으로 표현한다. 또한, 계층화된 프로세스 구조, 프로세스의 상태정보, 프로세스의 미래 행위 정보, 비결정적 행위정보를 포함하여 매우 복잡한 시스템의 특징을 효율적으로 명세/분석 가능하도록 하였다.

자율성 및 이동성 갖는 네트워크 구조의 하나인 MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks)은 각 node들은 그 특성에 따라서 clustering service을 한다. node의 전송과정 중 path access에 대하여 중요성 또한 강조되고 있다. 일반적인 무선 네트워크 상에서의 node들은 clustering을 하게 되는데 그 과정에서 발생되는 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 전송이 이루어진다. 모든 node들이 송, 수신상의 전송 범위(Beam forming area)가지고 있으며, 이러한 각 node들의 전송범위 내에 전송이 이루어지는 전통적인 전송기술 mechanism을 찾는다. 이러한 전송상황에서의 송신하는 node와 수신된 node간에 발생되고 있는 중복성의 문제점으로 즉, 상호적용에 의한 네트워크 duplicate(overlapping)이 크게 우려가 되고 있다. 이러한 전송상의 전송 범위 중첩, node간의 packet 간섭현상, packet의 중복수신 및 broadcasting의 storming현상이 나타난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 상황정보의 속성을 이용한 계층적 상호 head node들의 접근된 위치와 연계되는 전송속도, 보존하고 있는 head node들의 에너지 source value, doppler효과를 통한 head node의 이동방향 등 분석한다. 분석된 방법으로 전송상의 계층적 path가 구성된 경험적 path 속성을 통한 네트워크 connectivity 신뢰성을 극대화 할 뿐만 아니라 네트워크의 전송 범위 duplicate을 사전에 줄일 수 있고 전송망의 최적화를 유지할 수 있는 기법의 하나인 상황정보를 이용한 ad hoc network의 ODDMRP(Ontology Doppler effect-based Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol) clustering 기법을 제안한다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the change in the distribution and hierarchical structure of commercial land use. Tools for analyzing the spatial structure are index of concentration, coefficient of localization and location quotient. This research is applied to Daegu, focusing on the period 1985-2003. During the 1985-2003 period, the growth rate of commercial land use volume amounted to 330%, compared with a population growth rate of 118%. The biggest component of commercial land use is the retail sector. As the lodging, medical, transportation-warehouse and entertainment sectors have the propensity for concentration and comprise the specialized commercial areas in the suburbs, the other sectors arc evenly distributed. Jung-gu has functioned as a downtown core in the hierarchical structure of commercial areas. So, in the structure of commercial land use, Daegu has continued to be a single nuclear structure. But, Dongdaegu Station influence area has evolved into the second order center since 2000. This is the sign of change in spatial structure from single-nuclear pattern to multi nuclear pattern.

As the annual growth rate of port handling container volume in Korea has faced slowdown, this paper attempts to find strategies for the domestic container terminal operators in order to enhance competitiveness. For this, the model of using AHP and the fuzzy set theory is used for evaluating competitiveness between domestic and global container terminal operators. The evaluation model hierarchy is developed based on SERM(subject-environment-resource-mechanism) theory of business strategy. The results show domestic operators are ranked lower than global player so that they particularly pay attention to the areas of scale of economy, business diversification, and globalization strategy.

This study aimed to identify priorities in community pharmacist's roles in aged society using Analytic Hierarchy Process. We developed a survey questionnaire for AHP, which consisted of 19 pharmacist's roles selected from the FIP/WHO guidelines. The AHP survey questionnaire was self-administered by 127 pharmacists. The results showed that pharmacists put medication therapy management at the highest priority, preparation, dispense, distribution of medication at the second priority, and efficient healthcare system at the lowest priority. Among the 19 roles, new roles such as monitoring of medication therapy results, team-based health care, and transitions of care obtained relatively high priority.

Entani and Tanaka (2007) presented a new approach for obtaining interval evaluations suitable for handling uncertain data. Above all, their approach is characterized by the normalization of interval data and thus the elimination of redundant bounds. Further, interval global weights in AHP are derived by using such normalized interval data. In this paper, we present a heuristic method for finding extreme points of interval data, which basically extends the method by Entani and Tanaka (2007), and also helps to obtain normalized interval data. In the second part of this paper, we show that the solutions to the linear program for interval global weights can be obtained by a simple inspection. In the meantime, the absolute dominance proposed by the authors is extended to pairwise dominance which makes it possible to identify at least more dominated alternatives under the same information.

Having started with "Space War", the first game produced by MIT in the 1960's, the gaming industry expanded rapidly and grew to a large size over a short period of time: the brand new games being launched on the market are found to contain many different elements making up a single content in that it is often called the 'the most comprehensive ultimate fruits' of the design technologies. This also translates into a large increase in the number of things which need to be considered in developing games, complicating the plans on the financial budget, the work force, and the time to be committed. Therefore, an approach for analyzing the elements which make up a game, computing the importance of each of them, and assessing those games to be developed in the future, is the key to a successful development of games. Many decision-making activities are often required under such a planning process. The decision-making task involves many difficulties which are outlined as follows: the multi-factor problem; the uncertainty problem impeding the elements from being "quantified" the complex multi-purpose problem for which the outcome aims confusion among decision-makers and the problem with determining the priority order of multi-stages leading to the decision-making process. In this study we plan to suggest AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) so that these problems can be worked out comprehensively, and logical and rational alternative plan can be proposed through the quantification of the "uncertain" data. The analysis was conducted by taking FPS (First Person Shooting) which is currently dominating the gaming industry, as subjects for this study. The most important consideration in conducting AHP analysis is to accurately group the elements of the subjects to be analyzed objectively, and arrange them hierarchically, and to analyze the importance through pair-wise comparison between the elements. The study is composed of 2 parts of analyzing these elements and computing the importance between them, and choosing an alternative plan. Among these this paper is particularly focused on the Delphi technique-based objective element analyzing and hierarchy of the FPS games.

In this study, the Delphi method and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) were used to evaluate tunnel collapse risk from a comprehensive and multifaceted perspective. Influence factors were established through literature reviews, previous studies, and brainstorming sessions with expert groups, resulting in the construction of five main classification systems. A panel of 21 experts was formed, and three rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted to prevent errors and biases in the expert judgment process, thereby enhancing reliability. Ultimately, 14 influence factors were identified through CVR (content validity ratio) and COV (coefficient of variation) analyses of the experts' responses. Subsequently, the AHP method was applied to assess the relative importance of each influence factor and calculate the final composite weights. The timing of support and reinforcement had the highest priority, followed by groundwater inflow, joint conditions, support pattern levels, and auxiliary methods. These findings help identify the key factors affecting tunnel collapse risk and provide a foundation for developing strategies to improve tunnel safety.

This study had two aims (1) to explore the trajectory of family functioning (flexibility and cohesion) in the mothers' perspective and classify it according to the development of their child, and (2) to examine the differences in children's self-esteem as well the internal and external behavioral problems based on the latent groups. A total of 1,348 mothers and their children who participated in the survey in 2013 through to 2017 were analyzed. The group was subdivided into low incremental, average incremental, average-above incremental, and high unchanged groups according to the flexibility, and into low incremental, average incremental, decremental, high incremental, and above-high unchanged groups in terms of cohesion. From 2015 to 2017, the self-esteem of elementary school-age children showed differences depending on the flexibility and cohesion of family functioning; children in the high-unchanged group of flexibility and the above-high unchanged group of cohesion showed high self-esteem. Behavior problems of early childhood and elementary school-age children varied according to the latent classes of flexibility and the cohesion of family functioning. Children in low incremental and average incremental groups of flexibility and low incremental, average incremental, and decremental groups of cohesion showed more internal and external behavioral problems. These findings suggest that family functioning has significant effects on the psychological aspects of children.
